Content Summary | Cellulose nanofibrils from sisal of typically 4–5 nm diameter and ca. 250 100 nm length are
reconstituted into thin films of ca. 6 mm thickness (or thicker freestanding films). Pure cellulose and
cellulose composite films are obtained in a solvent evaporation process. A boronic acid appended
dendrimer is embedded as a receptor in the nanofibrillar cellulose membrane. The number of boronic
acid binding sites is controlled by varying the dendrimer content. The electrochemical and
spectrophotometric properties of the nanocomposite membrane are investigated using the probe
molecule alizarin red S. Pure cellulose membranes inhibit access to the electrode. However, the
presence of boronic acid receptor sites allows accumulation of alizarin red S with a Langmuirian
binding constant of ca. 6000 1000 M1. The 2-electron 2-proton reduction of immobilized alizarin
red S is shown to occur in a ca. 60 nm zone close to the electrode surface. With a boronic acid
dendrimer modified nanofibrillar cellulose composition of 96 wt% cellulose and 4 wt% boronic acid
dendrimer, the analytical range for alizarin red S in aqueous acetate buffer pH 3 is approximately 10
mM to 1 mM. | en |
