Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Developing sustainable materials requires understanding biobased nanocomposites.
  • Nanoparticle assembly influences macroscale properties of coatings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine nanoscale nanoparticle assembly structures.
  • Correlate assembly with macroscale properties of biobased polymer coatings.
  • Investigate the role of polymer molecular conformation on assembly and performance.

Main Methods:

  • In situ liquid-phase atomic force microscopy (AFM) to probe nanoparticle assembly mechanisms.
  • Computational simulation to understand assembly dynamics.
  • Evaluation of coating hydrophobicity and adhesion after water immersion.

Main Results:

  • Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) formed unique fractal silica nanoparticle assemblies via diffusion-limited-aggregation.
  • Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) formed compact clusters via reaction-limited-aggregation due to weaker silica attraction.
  • HEC-based fractal networks enabled superhydrophobic coatings with superior adhesion, even after water immersion.
  • Performance differences were attributed to HEC's α-anomeric glycosides versus HES's β-anomeric glycosides.

Conclusions:

  • Biobased polymer molecular conformation significantly influences nanoparticle assembly structures.
  • Nanoscale assembly dictates macroscopic coating properties like hydrophobicity and adhesion.
  • This research offers pathways for developing high-performance, economical, and sustainable biobased materials.
