  1. Deriving nanoscale information on wood/ adhesive composites with conventional polymer characterization techniques Marie-Pierre G. Laborie, Assistant Prof., Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Washington State University

  2. Outline • Problem and approach • Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) • Monitor mid-kHz molecular motions • Intermolecular cross polarization experiment • Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) • Model a relaxation and intermolecular cooperativity • Conclusions

  3. Cellulose Lignin Hemicellulose Adhesive penetration in wood Finer and Finer Scale of Adhesive Penetration

  4. Nanometer scale morphology of the wood/ adhesive interphase ? • Phenol-formaldehyde (PF) composites • Yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) • Low molecular weight PF resin (Mn= 270g/mol; Mw= 330 g/mol

  5. Micron Angstrom Domain size DMA TCH HT1 SolidState NMR Frequency (Hz) 10-2 1 103 Approach: molecular dynamics • Effect of phenol-formaldehyde resin on wood polymer dynamics and vice-versa

  6. 13C CP/MAS nuclear magnetic resonance - 13C CP/MAS NMR relaxations: background - Application to the wood/PF interphase

  7. Dynamics of magnetization Cross polarization (CP) T CH Abundant H spins Rare 13C spins Hz, Angstrom Spin lattice kHz, Nanometer relaxation H T r 1 Lattice

  8. 1.0 0.8 (I/Imax) 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Contact Time (ms) Measurements of TCH andHT1r • CP experiment with variable contact time TCH HT1r

  9. Cross polarization rate (TCH) • CP: transfer of magnetization between 1H and 13C • Requirements for CP • 1H must be less than 10-20 angstroms away from 13C • 1H-13C interacting nuclei pair must be rigid (near static molecular motions)

  10. 13C, deuterated PF resin Wood H1 Intermolecular CP experiment with a 13C-perdeuterated PF resin • More effective CP in wood/PF composite compared to PF alone is evidence of intermolecular CP i.e. angstrom scale proximity between wood 1H and resin 13C

  11. Proton spin lattice relaxation (HT1r) • Motional component • Spin diffusion (static component) • In homogeneous/miscible blends (up to 20 nm phase domains) • Spin diffusion averages out molecular motion • One single value of HT1r • In phase separated blends • Spin diffusion is not efficient across phase boundaries • Several values of HT1r • Spin coupling evidences homogeneity/miscibility on the 20 nanometers scale

  12. 13C CP/MAS nuclear magnetic resonance -CP/MAS NMR relaxations: background Application to the wood/PF interphase Intermolecular CP (TCH) Mid-kHz motions & spin diffusion (HT1r)

  13. 13C-d2 formaldehyde synthesis by oxidizing 13C-d4 methanol PF synthesis from 13C-d2 formaldehyde & perdeuterated reagents (phenol-d6 etc…) Catalyst Heat Air 13CD2=O 13CD3-OD 13C-perdeuterated PF resin Schmidt et al., Holzforschung 54, (2000) 98.

  14. 13C, deuterated PF resin Wood H1 13C CP/MAS NMR of 13C-perdeuterated PF resin • Downfield shift of hydroxymethyl carbon chemical shift- H-bonding ? Laborie and Frazier, J. Materials Sci. (2006) 41,18, 6001.

  15. CP rates & molecular rigidity in PF • Carbon magnetization curves for PF methylene (left) and hydroxymethyl (right) carbons • No evidence of intermolecular CP • Different near static motions (10-20 Å) in neat state & in composite Laborie and Frazier, J. Materials Sci. (2006) 41,18, 6001.

  16. 13C CP/MAS nuclear magnetic resonance -CP/MAS NMR relaxations: background Application to the wood/PF interphase Intermolecular CP (TCH) Mid-kHz motions & spin diffusion (HT1r)

  17. 13CP/MAS NMR spectrum of a wood/PF composite • Ability to monitor the molecular dynamics, HT1r relaxations of wood polymers and PF carbons Laborie et al., J. Adhes. Sci. Techno. (2006) 20,8,729.

  18. HT1r in wood/PF composite HT1r values in ms • Resin increases the HT1r of wood polymers • In the composite, the resin HT1r is in the range of that of wood polymers • Resin alters wood mid-kilohertz motion and may be spin coupled with wood polymers Laborie et al., J. Adhes. Sci. Techno. (2006) 20,8,729.

  25. Submersion DMA of wood • Saturation of wood & wood/PF composites in ethylene glycol • Dual cantilever beam • Temperature scans • from 20 to 120°C • 5 frequencies (0.6 Hz to 6 Hz) Laborie et al., Holzforschung (2004) 58,129.

  26. TTSP & cooperativity for plasticized wood • Ngai coupling model describes the in situ a relaxation of lignin above Tg • For yellow-poplar n=0.19±0.04 Laborie et al., Holzforschung (2004) 58,129.

  27. Lignin in situ Tg in wood/PF composite • PF reinforces wood • Lignin in situ Tg is unchanged by PF cure in wood/PF composite Laborie et al., J. Adhes. Sci. Techno. (2006) 20, 8, 729.

  28. TTSP & cooperativity for composite • PF resin increases intermolecular cooperativity of lignin (n=0.37±0.11 vs. n=0.19±0.04) • Lignin main chain motion is constrained by PF resin Laborie et al., J. Adhes. Sci. Techno. (2006) 20, 8, 729.

  29. Summary & conclusions • Solid state NMR • Resin molecular rigidity (TCH,10-20 Å) is lower in composite • Wood mid-kHz frequency motions (<20 nm) are altered by the resin • Resin and wood polymers may be spin coupled (<20 nm) • Submersion DMA • Intermolecular cooperativity of lignin is increased by the resin • Lignin main chain/segmental relaxation is constrained by the resin

  30. Interpenetrating Network Low molecular weight PF resin Cure Wood polymers network Resin application on wood Cured wood/PF composite

  31. Conclusions • Traditional polymer characterization techniques can be used to model molecular dynamics in composites • A range of domain sizes of motion can be probed depending on the experiment frequency (nanometer level) • A variety of experiments and techniques can be useful to probe molecular motions and nanometer scale interactions (DEA, DSC, CP/MAS NMR, DMA)
