Abstract
In this work, a novel lignin/titanium dioxide (QAL/TiO2) hybrid composite with regular microstructure and synergistically enhanced UV absorption properties was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using lignin and butyl titanate. The prepared QAL/TiO2 composite is hybrid structure in which lignin and TiO2 is uniformly embedded, and has strong chemical bond bonding force. The QAL/TiO2 hybrid composite particles were used for doping modification of waterborne polyurethane (WPU), which had good interfacial compatibility and dispersibility in WPU. The obtained WPU + QAL/TiO2 film shows excellent UV shielding performance and great mechanical properties, the tensile strength and elongation at break are significantly improved compared with pure WPU film. And it also has excellent anti-UV aging property, that the mechanical performance basically remains unchanged after 96 h of high power ultraviolet irradiation. This work not only provides a kind of lignin/TiO2 hybrid composite with neat structure, good dispersion and excellent optical properties, but also has great significance for the high-valued utilization of biomass resources.
