Abstract

Herein, we report on a transparent, water-stable, high oxygen barrier packaging film made from a combination of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and a fluoropolymer (FP) coating. Nanofibrillation of the hardwood kraft pulp was carried out using succinic anhydride pretreatment and aqueous counter collision (ACC) technique to obtain ultrafine (5–7 nm) succinylated cellulose nanofibers (SCNF), which was readily fabricated into a thin coating (on PET film) as well as a self-standing film. Introducing the FP topcoat on SCNF enabled a synergistic enhancement of both oxygen barrier performance and stability against water-swelling.
