In nature, cellulose is a unique lightweight biopolymer with outstanding mechanical and optical properties that is readily available. Rigorous investigations have been conducted to use cellulose as an ingredient in the advanced functional composite design. In this work, a hybrid film composed of homogeneous cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and high oxidation graphene oxide (GO) is obtained by sufficient blending and vacuum filtration. For the first time through the X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectrum, the suppression of the originally ordered hydrophobic (200) facet of CNC is observed with increasing concentrations of GO. Further, the originally ordered hydrophilic (110)/(1-10) facets of CNC remain intact. Through systematic molecular dynamics simulations of a set of simplified CNC-GO sandwich structures, the mechanism behind this hydrophilic/hydrophobic facets manipulation is revealed. The strain induced by the hydrogen bonding between the CNC hydroxyl groups and the oxidation types on GO is the dominant reason to cause the suppression of the hydrophobic facet of CNC in CNC-GO hybrid film. This strain induced mechanism provides an understanding for intrinsically manipulating cellulose-matrix interface and potentially engineering the cellulose based nanocomposite material properties for future advanced materials development.
