Reinforcement of polyamide 6/66 with a 9,9′-bis(aryl)fluorene-modified cellulose nanofiber

Abstract

We synthesized cellulose nanofiber (CNF) modified with 9,9′-bis(aryl)fluorene, which has cardo moieties (BCNF), and evaluated the properties of its polyamide 6/66 (PA) composites. As a result, it was revealed that BCNF was well dispersed in PA and had a strong reinforcing effect—even in a temperature range above the glass transition temperature—compared with unmodified CNF due to the high interface affinity between BCNF and PA.
