Abstract

Sustainable functional materials derived from renewable biomass provide momentum for the communities of polymer science. We report a supramolecular approach to the preparation of strong biobased polymer nanocomposites with stimuli-responsive behaviors using soybean oil (SO) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). SO-derived polymers were modified with hydroxyl -OH and carboxyl -COOH groups via thiol-ene click chemistry, facilitating hydrogen-bonding interactions with CNCs to improve the overall compatibility in the nanocomposites. These nanocomposites exhibited high tensile strength and maintained high storage modulus up to 200 °C. Moreover, these nanocomposites showed a fast and reversible mechanical response to water, an external stimulus to tune intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
