The invention discloses
modified starch based on graft copolymerization, a preparation method and application in PBAT, and relates to the technical field of
high polymer material modification, and the preparation method of the
modified starch comprises the following steps: S1, gelatinizing
starch; s2, adding the gelatinized
starch in the S1 into a premixed solution of butenoyl
chloride, triaminobenzyl
alcohol and
triethylamine, then adding an initiator for reaction, and after the reaction, precipitating, washing and
drying to obtain grafted
starch; and S3, blending the grafted starch in S2 with a composite
plasticizer, uniformly mixing, and carrying out
melt extrusion to obtain the
modified starch. The starch and the
grafting monomer are subjected to copolymerization reaction, an additional
chain structure is introduced, the hydroxyl content on the surface of the starch is reduced, and the hydrophobicity is improved. The introduced
chain structure has amido and ester functional groups which can generate new
hydrogen-bond interaction with hydroxyl on the main chain of starch molecules, so that the plasticizing efficiency of the starch is improved, and the mechanical and thermal properties of the
composite material are enhanced.
