본 총설은 나노셀룰로오스의 원료의 종류, 단리방법과 나노셀룰로오스의 특성 그리고 이를 바탕으로 한 나노복합재의 최근 연구동향을 검토하였다. 나노셀룰로오스를 얻는 원료는 목질자원 및 미생물셀룰로오스 등을 포함하여 다양한 자원이 이용되고 있다. 또 나노셀룰로오스의 단리방법은 물리적, 기계적 및 화학적 방법들이 사용되고 있으며 이들 단리방법에 따라 나노셀룰로오스의 특성은 달랐다. 나노셀룰로오스의 길이와 폭은 사용된 원료 종류와 단리방법에 따라 크게 영향을 받지만 길이는 약 100~300 nm이며 폭은 5~50 nm로 다양하였다. 나노복합재의 제조에는 대부분 수용성 고분자들이 기질로 사용되었으며 2~10%의 나노셀룰로오스로 강화된 나노복합재의 인장강도와 저장탄성계수(E')는 크게 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 소수성 고분자에 사용될 경우 나노셀룰로 오스의 표면을 변화(modification) 시키는 다양한 방법들이 소개되었다. 나노셀룰로오스를 바탕으로 한 나노복합재의 응용은 다양하게 보고되었으나 적합한 응용분야에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 특히 나노셀룰로오스의 이용 확대를 위해서는 목질자원으로부터 나노셀룰로오스를 상업적으로 대량으로 제조할 수 있는 연구와 기술개발이 향후에 필요하다.

Nanocellulose, which can exist as either cellulose nanocrystals or cellulose nanofibrils, has been used as a biomaterial for drug delivery owing to its non-immunogenicity, biocompatibility, high specific area, good mechanical properties, and variability for chemical modification. Various water-soluble drugs can be bound to and released from nanocelluloses through electrostatic interactions. The high specific surface area of nanocellulose allows for high specific drug loading. Additionally, a broad spectrum of drugs can bind to nanocellulose after facile chemical modifications of its surface. Controlled release can be achieved for various pharmaceuticals when the nanocellulose surface is chemically modified or physically formulated in an adequate manner. This review summarizes the potential applications of nanocelluloses in drug delivery according to published studies on drug delivery systems.

국제정치와 세계경제의 이슈가 되고 있는 '탄소중립'에 대한 선언이 전 세계적으로 이어지면서, 석유 기반 고분자를 생분해가 가능한 천연고분자로의 대체 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연고분자 중에서도 세계에서 가장 많은 양을 차지하고 있는 나노셀룰로오스를 대체재로 제안하였다. 실란커플링제인 Glycidoxypropyl Trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)를 이용한 결정형 나노셀룰로오스의 표면작용기개질반응으로 하이브리드 나노셀룰로오스(hybrid nanocellulose, HNC)를 제조하였고, 저밀도폴리에틸렌(low density polyethylene, LDPE)과 함께 필름을 형성하였다. 친수성인 결정형나노셀룰로오스의 표면작용기개질반응을 확인하기 위해 소수성으로 바뀌는 것을 푸리에 변환 적외선 분광분석(fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, FT-IR)과 친수/친유화도를 측정하였으며, 하이브리드 나노셀룰로오스를 적용한 고분자 복합체의 물성 확인을 위해 친수/친유화도, 인장강도, 투명도를 확인하였다. 석유기반 고분자와의 상용성은 pH 14에서 반응한 HNC가 LDPE 대비 1 wt%일 때, 인장강도와 투명도가 가장 우수하며, 결과적으로 실란커플링제를 이용한 나노셀룰로오스의 표면작용기개질이 가능하고 석유 기반 고분자와의 높은 상용성으로 인해 탄소중립을 위한 화석연료의 사용량을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In the present work, we present a new effective hydrophilicity modifier for polysulfone (PSf) membrane. Firstly, amphiphilic nanocellulose (ANC) with different substitution degrees (SD) was synthesized by esterification reaction with nanocellulose (NC) and dodecyl succinic anhydride (DDSA). The SD and morphology of ANC were characterized by titration method and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, the polysulfone (PSf)/ANC blend membranes were prepared via an immersion phase inversion method. The influence of SD on the morphology, structure and performances of PSf/ANC blend membrane were carefully investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), mechanical property test, contact angle measuring instrument and filtration experiment. The results showed that the mechanical property, hydrophilicity and anti-fouling property of all the PSf/ANC blend membranes were higher than those of pure PSf membrane and PSf/NC membrane, and the membrane properties were increased with the increasing of SD values. As ANC-4 has the highest SD value, PSf/ANC-4 membrane exhibited the optimal membrane properties. In conclusion, the prepared ANC can be used as an additive to improve the hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties of polysulfone (PSf) membrane.

A number of researches have been carried out regarding the utilization of nanocellulose(crystalline nanocellulose, microfibrillated cellulose, nanofibrillated cellulose) for the manufacture of various kinds of composites and functional products. However, only few research works on the manufacturing characteristics of nanocellulose could be found, although some companies started already the production of nanocellulose in commercial scale. However, the most important thing in commercializing of production and utilization of nanocellulose is to develop the economical and efficient process. Thus, this study was carried out in order to investigate the effects of refining, alkaline pre-treatment and grinder clearance on the characteristics of microfibrillated cellulose and energy consumption. There was no significant differences in crystalline index with the degree of microfibrillation. The initial fibrillation could be improved by refining pre-treatment, but its effect was not observed anymore since the fibrillation was done up to certain level by grinding. Refining pre-treatment did not improved the energy efficiency. Alkaline pre-treatment can be helpful because the swelling of pulp fiber will facilitate fibrillation. It was found that the decrease in grinder clearance was helpful to improve the energy efficiency.

Nanocellulose was surface-functionalized toward the applications in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as a green alternative. The focus of this paper is on the effect of this material based nanofluid (NF) on foam lamella stabilization through studying its bubble breakup dynamics and flow behaviors in constricted mircofluidic devices. The NF stabilized foam produced an improved flow resistance across the capillary largely due to the capillary trapped bubbles at the contraction. The "snap-off" caused the NF stabilized foam to produce finer textured bubbles, which can migrate readily forward to the deep porous media, as revealed by the pressure profiles.

본 연구에서는 Abaca 나노 셀룰로오스와 이산화 티타늄(TiO₂)의 유-무기 하이브리드 복합체를 제조하였다. Abaca 나노 셀룰로오스는 Abaca 셀룰로오스를 산화시키는 방법으로 제조하였으며, 촉매로서 TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl)를 이용하였다. TiO₂ 나노입자는 sol-gel법으로 제조하였으며 이를 나노 셀룰로오스와 하이브리드(hybrid) 시켜 복합체를 제조하였다. 제조 pH 변화에 따른 복합체의 특성과 그의 물성을 비교해 본 결과, 나노 셀룰로오스와 이산화 티타늄 결합 시 pH의 영향이 매우 컸으며, 본 실험 조건에서 pH 8에서 최적의 결합성능을 나타냈다. 또한, 제조된 복합체는 광촉매 특성을 보였으며, 이산화 티타늄의 함량이 높을수록 UV광 조사에 따라 복합체의 친수성이 증가하였다.

In this study, spray-drying yield and morphological characterization of spray-dried cellulose nanofibril (CNF) and TEMPO-oxidized nanocellulose (TONC) depending on spray-drying condition and surfactant addition was investigated. As spray-drying temperature increased, the yield of spray-dried CNF was increased. The highest spray-drying yields in both nanocelluloses were found at didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC) addition of 2.5 phr at all investigated temperatures. The spray-dried CNF was the sphere-like particle, but the spray-dried TONC showed both rod and sphere-like morphology. The average diameter of spray-dried CNF was decreased with increasing DDAC addition amount, resulting in the increase of specific surface area.

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a biocompatible material with a lot of potential. To make BNC commercially feasible, improvements in its production and surface qualities must be made. Here, we investigated the in situ fermentation and generation of BNC by addition of different cellulosic substrates such as Avicel and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and using Komagataeibacter sp. SFCB22-18. The addition of cellulosic substrates improved BNC production by a maximum of about 5 times and slightly modified its structural properties. The morphological and structural properties of BNC were investigated by using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, a type-A cellulose-binding protein derived from Clostridium thermocellum, CtCBD3, was used in a novel biological analytic approach to measure the surface crystallinity of the BNC. Because Avicel and CMC may adhere to microfibrils during BNC synthesis or crystallization, cellulose-binding protein could be a useful tool for identifying the crystalline properties of BNC with high sensitivity.

The accurate detection of hydrogen gas molecules is considered to be important for industrial safety. However, the selective detection of the gas using semiconductive metal oxides (SMOs)-based sensors is challenging. Here, we describe the fabrication of H₂ sensors in which a nanocellulose/graphene oxide (GO) hybrid membrane is attached to SnO₂ nanosheets (NSs). One-dimensional (1D) nanocellulose fibrils are attached to the surface of GO NSs (GONC membrane) by mixing GO and nanocellulose in a solution. The as-prepared GONC membrane is employed as a sacrificial template for SnO₂ NSs as well as a molecular sieving membrane for selective H₂ filtration. The combination of GONC membrane and SnO₂ NSs showed substantial selectivity to hydrogen gas (R_air / R_gas > 10 @ 0.8 % H₂, 100 ℃) with noise level responses to interfering gases (H₂S, CO, CH₃COCH₃, C₂H₅OH, and NO₂). These remarkable sensing results are attributed mainly to the molecular sieving effect of the GONC membrane. These results can facilitate the development of a highly selective H₂ detector using SMO sensors.
