ABSTRACT
Inspired from human skin, micro- and nano-wrinkled wood surface with skin-tactile performance was designed and developed using a waterborne UV-curable polyurethane acrylate coating and cellulose nofibers (CNF). To further improve the properties, the CNF was diacetylated to D-CNF and further grafted with a hyperbranched polymer containing rich end amino groups (HB-CNF). The surface structure and chemical reactions were characterized, and the skin-tactile performance of the coating was comprehensively investigated. The HB-CNF exhibited excellent dispersion in the coating, and extensive reactions occurred between the two through the -NH2 and terminal -NCO groups, resulting in much improved mechanical properties and durability. Micro-wrinkles with a width of approximately 12-15 µm and a height of 8-14 µm were created, and nano-protrusions of wrinkles ranging from to 50-100 nm were obtained. The coated surface was hydrophobic and exhibited high resilience after compression, with a gloss of 3.3 GU at an incident angle of 60° and a static friction coefficient of 0.26, both of which were similar to those of human skin. The results presented an effective strategy for high-performance wood products with a good feeling, which is helpful to improve the market competitiveness and meet the people's pursuit of a better life.
