This invention discloses a high-barrier composite blown film of EVOH / organically modified
mica powder and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
polymer composite materials and
food packaging technology. The composite blown film consists of 90-99 parts by weight of blow-
molding grade ethylene-
vinyl alcohol copolymer and 1-10 parts by weight of organically modified
mica powder. The organically modified
mica powder is obtained by
surface modification of
muscovite powder with
silane coupling agent KH-570, with the amount of KH-570 being 1.5-3.0 wt% of the
mass of the
muscovite powder. In the preparation process,
muscovite powder is first added to an alcoholic
aqueous solution of KH-570, stirred, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain organically modified mica powder; then, dried EVOH and organically modified mica powder are premixed and melt-blended and granulated using a twin-screw extruder; finally, the composite granules are blown into a film. This invention utilizes the high
aspect ratio and hydrophobic surface of organically modified mica powder to form a tortuous path effect in the EVOH matrix, significantly reducing
oxygen and
water vapor permeability. It exhibits good
thermal stability, simple process, and is suitable for barrier packaging of lipid-based foods.
