Bionanocomposites composed of bio-based epoxy resins and cellulose nanofibers are attracting extensive attention as sustainable materials contributing to carbon neutrality and reduced dependence on oil resources. In this study, as a water-soluble epoxy resin system, a mixture of bio-based epoxy resin [polyglycerol polyglycidyl ether (PGPE)] and petroleum-based flexible epoxy resin [polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE)] at an epoxy ratio of 2:1 was used. As a bio-based and water-soluble epoxy hardener, 3-[(2-aminoethyl)thio]propyl-etherified sucrose (NSCR) with an amine functionality of ca. 7, which was synthesized by the thiol-ene reaction of cysteamine hydrochloride and allyl-etherified sucrose, was used. A bio-based epoxy network (BEN) was prepared by drying and curing an aqueous solution of PGPE, PEGDGE, and NSCR with an epoxy/NH_2 ratio of 1/1. Bionanocomposites of BEN and carboxymethyl cellulose nanofibers (CMCNFs) were successfully prepared by directly mixing PGPE, PEGDGE, NSCR, and CMCNF in water without any solvent-exchange of the cellulosic nanofibers, which is necessary in conventional methods. The BEN/CMCNF bionanocomposites had excellent fiber dispersibility, and the tensile strength and modulus increased with increasing CMCNF content owing to the excellent reinforcement effect of the CMCNFs.
