This study examined the impact of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on waterborne wood coatings. The results showed that CNCs improved the scratch resistance and impact resistance of the coatings, and significantly reduced water vapor permeation through the film. However, CNCs also caused the coatings to darken, reduce gloss, and increase the viscosity of the dispersion. At low concentrations, CNCs dispersed well, but at high concentrations, they agglomerated. The findings suggest that at 1 wt% concentration, CNCs can still provide improvement in scratch and chip resistance without sacrificing optical properties and water uptake.
The main objective of this study was to examine the impact of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in advanced waterborne wood coatings such as polycarbonate urethane (PCU) and hybrid alkyd varnish (HAV) in terms of coating performance, mechanical properties, optical properties, and water permeation and uptake properties. The influence of CNCs on the overall quality of the various waterborne wood coatings was investigated by incorporating different percentages of CNCs. Varying CNC content in coating formulations showed that CNCs are effective for waterborne wood coatings; CNCs offer both higher scratch and impact resistance as compared to neat coatings and have a significant reduction in water vapor permeation through a film with little increase in water vapor uptake at high concentrations. It was observed that the CNC darkened and reduced gloss in the coatings and viscosified the dispersion. These research findings suggest that CNCs are well-dispersed at lower concentrations, but at high concentrations, agglomeration occurred. Thus, while CNCs can give better mechanical and permeation performances at contents of up to 5 wt %, at 1 wt % CNCs can still provide modest scratch and chip resistance improvement without loss of optical properties (gloss and color) while retaining a similar water uptake. Overall, it can be concluded that CNCs have the potential to be used as a reinforcement filler in high-performance waterborne wood coatings.
