A peak assigned to the carbonyl group appears at 1 730 cm-1 in the FT-IR of PCL-g-CN, which confirms that the grafting reaction is suc- cessfully completed. The morphologies of PCL-g-CNs still main- tain rod-like structure according to the TEM images. XRD results show that the crystal type of the PCL-g-CNs changed from cellu- lose I to cellulose II. The reasons for crystal transition of CNs turn out to be combined effects of anion and cation in ionic liquid with CNs.展开更多
