Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper engineering of strength, structure and surface using interactions between cellulose and cationic polyelectrolytes are investigated with the aim of improving paper-based bio-analytical devices (PADs). Advances are described based on fundamental knowledge and engineering aspects in this field that have enable the development of lighter weight papers that have high wet strengths, controlled porosities and multi-functional properties that can be fine tuned.The influence of reactive cationic polyelectrolyte, polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) on paper strength behaviour was studied using hardwood fibers, both with and without inorganic electrolyte. Ion type and concentration in the papermaking process water was found to influence the strength development in different ways. The relationship between repulpability of PAE- strengthened paper and wet strength is described. The effect of blending microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) with hardwood fibers is compared with the refining of hardwood fibers on paper composite properties, with and without PAE addition. Papers incorporating tethered MFC, produced by refining of hardwood fibres, are found to provide equivalent strength properties to papers incorporating untethered MFC with significant drainage benefits and formation uniformity. Air permeability of the composites decreases with untethered and tethered MFC addition.MFC achieved by ball milling and cellulose micro-particles (CMPs) developed by cryogenic milling softwood fiber are compared with commercial MFC produced by homogenization. The effect of blending two MFCs and CMPs with hardwood fibers on the paper composites properties is investigated in terms of nano/micro cellulose dimensions. CMPs act as mechanical debonding agents and decrease substrate density and strength whereas MFC have higher aspect ratios and smaller size distributions that significantly improve strength and density of composite sheets while decreasing porosities. The addition of MFC combined with PAE can increase both dry and wet strength. The different stress-strain curves under wet conditions are described and these suggest two different mechanisms of strength development: MFC-fiber entanglement and fiber-fiber contact reinforcement.The role of paper macroscale properties and structure are described in PADs used to type human red blood cells (RBCs). A series of commercial and laboratory-generated papers varying in fibre composition, basis weight, density and porosity are studied and their abilities to separate antibody agglutinated (specific) from non-agglutinated (non-specific) RBCs are reported. Image analysis is used to measure the intensities of blood spots produced by sequentially absorbing solutions of antibodies and blood samples on paper then eluting with a saline solution. The performance of these papers in blood typing is found to decrease linearly with paper density and thickness and it is inversely proportional to paper pore size. The type of fibres plays a minor role. Porous cellulose webs modified with cationic polyelectrolyte further optimize blood typing analysis.Cellulose model surfaces, in the form of quasi molecularly smooth thin cellulose films, are investigated to examine the interactions between cellulose, cationic polyelectrolytes and biomolecules. Thin smooth cellulose films are prepared by spin coating either a nanocellulose crystal suspension, or a cellulose acetate solution onto silicon surfaces with subsequent hydrolysis. Film smoothness is greatly improved by controlling the concentration of cellulose acetate and the hydrolysis time in methanolic sodium methoxide. High molecular weight polyacrylamides (CPAM) are used as model polyelectrolytes, and the nanoscale conformation of adsorbed CPAM at the cellulose/water interface is characterized in situ by specular neutron reflectometry. The effect of CPAM charge density and added NaCl (10-3 M) is described. At constant molecular weight, the thickness of the CPAM layer adsorbed on cellulose increases with polymer charge density. Addition of NaCl decreases the thickness of a CPAM layer already adsorbed on cellulose. However the thickness of the adsorption layer on cellulose of a CPAM solution pre-equilibrated in NaCl is much higher, because the re-shrunk polymer coils do not relax as much upon adsorption.Deuterated cellulose film having better contrast for neutron reflectometry is investigated. Incorporation of deuterium into bacterial cellulose is achieved by growing Gluconacetobacter xylinus - strain ATCC 53524 in a mixture of deuterated glucose and deuterated glycerol. Two strategies are compared for synthesizing deuterated cellulose derivatives that are soluble in volatile solvents (acetone and toluene) suitable for spin coating: one involves acetylation in acetic anhydride, the other trimethylsilylation in ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride). The trimethylsilylation of deuterated cellulose results in a much higher yield of product, and is used to prepare toluene solutions for spin-coating onto smooth flat silicon substrates. The resulting thin film is hydrolysed back to deuterated cellulose using hydrogen chloride vapour.The data generated is used to prepare improved substrate papers for use in PADs with high wet strength, controlled structure and fine-tuned surface properties.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique was used to modify the surface of cellulose fibers by consecutive adsorption of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) followed by a final adsorbed layer of anionic paraffin wax colloids. Paper hand sheets made from the modified fibers were found to be highly hydrophobic with a contact angle of 150°. In addition to the significantly increased hydrophobicity, the sheets showed improved mechanical properties, such as a higher tensile strength. Heat treatment of the prepared sheets further enhanced both the mechanical properties and the hydrophobicity. These results demonstrate the flexibility and robustness of the LbL technique, which allows us to combine the known adhesive effect of PAH/PAA LbL films with the functionality of wax nanoparticles, creating a stronger and highly hydrophobic paper.It was further observed that LbL modified sheets without wax also displayed increased hydrophobicity when heat treated. The mechanism was studied through model experiments where LbL films of PAH/PAA were assembled on flat non-porous model cellulose surfaces. Contact angle measurements showed the same trend due to heat treatment of the model films, although, the absolute value of the contact angles were smaller. Analysis using the highly interfacial sensitive vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy technique showed an enrichment of CH3 groups (from the polymer chain ends) at the solid/air interface. These results indicate that during the heat treatment, a reorientation of polymer chains occurs to minimize the surface energy of the LbL film.In the second part of this work, the adhesive interactions between the main constituents of wood fibers were studied using high-resolution measuring techniques and well-defined model films of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Successful surface modification of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) caps, needed in the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) measuring methodology, by LbL deposition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) and poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) allowed for the first known all-wood biopolymer JKR measurements of the adhesion between cellulose/cellulose, cellulose/lignin and the cellulose/glucomannan surfaces. The work of adhesion on loading and the adhesion hysteresis were similar for all three systems, suggesting that adhesion between the different wood biopolymers does not differ greatly.

Book excerpt: Challenging the cherished notions of colloidal theory, Barry Ninham and Pierandrea Lo Nostro confront the scientific lore of molecular forces and colloidal science in an incisive and thought-provoking manner. The authors explain the development of these classical theories, discussing amongst other topics electrostatic forces in electrolytes, specific ion effects and hydrophobic interactions. Throughout the book they question assumptions, unearth flaws and present new results and ideas. From such analysis, a qualitative and predictive framework for the field emerges; the impact of this is discussed in the latter half of the book through force behaviour in self assembly. Here, numerous diverse phenomena are explained, from surfactants to biological applications, all richly illustrated with pertinent, intellectually stimulating examples. with mathematics kept to a minimum, and historic facts and anecdotes woven through the text, this is a highly engaging and readable treatment for students and researchers in science and engineering.
