▎ 摘  要

Chitosan-cellulose film is found in food processing and biotechnology because of its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antibacterial property. Despite the excellent properties, the presence of intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds cause cellulose and chitosan to be insoluble in common solvents, resulting in limited mechanical strength. Graphene oxide has heavy oxygen-containing functional groups with excellent mechanical properties, which makes it an ideal filler for reinforcing polymers. In this work, blends of graphene oxide and chitosan-cellulose were successfully produced using 1-ally-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Amim]Cl) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent media. Films were prepared by phase-transfer method and investigated by Fourier transform infrared analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and mechanical tests. The absence of the bands corresponding to C=0 stretching in graphene oxide and the -NH bending of amides and amines in chitosan, the absence of the diffraction peak at 20 =11.3 degrees in graphene oxide (XRD), and the improvement of thermal stability and mechanical property provided evidence for the interaction between graphene oxide and chitosan-cellulose.
