Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising biodegradable materials. However, the poor compatibility and dispersion of CNCs in the PLA matrix remain a significant obstacle to improving the properties of composites. In this study, the modified CNC (CNC-D) was prepared through sulfonation treatment, followed by modification with didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC). Then, CNC-D was mixed with PLA to prepare composite films (PLA-CNC-D). The results revealed that the PLA-CNC-D had higher tensile strength and elongation at break than PLA-CNC at 3 wt% nanofiller content, increasing by 41.53 and 22.18 %, respectively. SEM and DSC analysis indicated that surface modification improved the compatibility and dispersion of CNC-D in the PLA matrix. The sulfonation process increased the anion content on the surface of CNC-D, enabling the CNC-D surface to adsorb more cationic DDAC, consequently sharply reducing the hydrophilicity of CNC-D. Moreover, the PLA-CNC-D exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli. In summary, this study provides a novel CNC modification approach to enhance the physical properties and antibacterial activity of PLA composite films, enlarging the application of degradable PLA composites.
