The invention relates to a
starch and
polylactic acid composite material and a preparation method thereof. The
composite material comprises, by weight, 20 to 75 parts of
modified starch, 10 to 65 parts of polylactic resins, 2 to 10 parts of hydroxy-terminated
lactic acid oligomer with molecular weight of 800 to 2000, 1 to 10 parts of plasticizers, 0.1 to 1.0 part of aliphatic chain extenders, 0.5 to 2 parts of talcum powders and 0.1 to 3 parts of auxiliaries. The preparation method includes that firstly the
modified starch, the polylactic acids, the hydroxy-terminated
lactic acid oligomer, the plasticizers, the talcum powders, lubricating agents and
coupling agents are blended together in a
homogenizer to obtain a blend, and then a mixed material of the blend and the chain extenders is added in a twin-screw extruder to be subjected to
melt extrusion, cooling and
granulation to obtain the
starch and
polylactic acid composite material. The
starch and
polylactic acid composite material has the advantages that the compatibility,
toughness and
heat resistance are good, the cost is low, the
biodegradation can be completely achieved, the preparation technique process is simple, the 'three wastes' emission is absent, and the
mass production can be achieved.
