Abstract

Fluorinated octyl silane-modified cellulose nanofibers (FOTS-CNF) were successfully prepared from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-oxidized CNFs (TOCNFs) derived from agricultural waste hop stems. The surface structures of the FOTS-modified CNFs were site-specifically investigated by 13C/19F/29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The spectroscopic results indicated that siloxane layers with fluorinated octyl chains extensively covered on the hydrophilic surface of the TOCNFs. This hydrophobic surface coating exhibited the highest water contact angle of 126.9°. Graphical Abstract: (Figure presented.)
