Embodiment 1

[0025] Example 1 - Preparation of Biopolymer Latex Adhesive from Starch Nanoscale Particles

[0026] Biopolymer nanoparticles were prepared by reactive extrusion processing using the technique described in WO 00 / 69916. Native potato starch (PN), wheat starch (WN), corn starch (CN) and waxy corn starch (WCN) were used to prepare nanoscale particles. The extruded gel particles, including starch nanoparticles, were then dispersed in water with mechanical agitation. The nanoscale particles (up to 35% (w / v) solids) were dispersed with a 3-blade mixer at 200 rpm at 45°C for 15 to 60 minutes. The stability of the resulting biopolymer latex was found to depend on the level of starch and crosslinking.

[0027] Dispersions made from PN, CN and WN extruded samples with glycerol and glyoxal were only stable for a few hours at glyoxal levels less than 4 parts, and the dry films obtained from these dispersions were opaque. This is illustrated in the PN starch section of Table 1. The r...

Embodiment 2

[0033] Example 2 - Biodegradable school glue based on biopolymer latex as a synthetic polymer Alternatives to Vinyl Acetate-Based School Glue

[0034] Natural polymers, such as starch, generally have poor shelf-life stability. The reasons for the short shelf-life stability of aqueous biopolymer dispersions are due to two aspects: (1) starch binder solutions and pastes have a very strong tendency to become gels or retrograde, and their stability is only a few hours or a few hours. days; and (2) starch binders in water provide a good growth medium for fungal and bacterial growth. Consumers are accustomed to white polyvinyl acetate latex school glue, which dries quickly and has shelf-life stability of more than six months. The data shown in Example 1 confirms the problems outlined in the first point. The data in Table 2 illustrate the issues discussed in the second point.

[0039] Example 3 - Biopolymer Particle-Based Adhesives as Bio-Based Alternatives to Synthetic Adhesives

[0040] An important property of the paper after it is pasted together is the strength of the adhesive layer. The SCT value indicates the hardness of the sticker and the Burst factor indicates the strength. Changes in strength and hardness after application of an adhesive layer give information on the nature of this adhesive layer.

[0041] Compared to polyvinyl acetate (PVA) glue, the strength and stiffness of the stickers increased more when starch spread was used (Table 3). This indicates that the adhesive layer of the starch dispersion adds more paper properties than the synthetic glue.

[0044] The results in Table 3 demonstrate that many applications are feasible for adhesives based on biopolymer particles as biobased alternatives to synthetic adhesives....

Abstract

Environmentally friendly biopolymer adhesives are described, wherein the adhesives comprise biopolymer particles, more preferably starch microparticles, and most preferably starch nanoparticles, and their aqueous dispersions. Applications for the biopolymer particle adhesives are described, that are environmentally friendly alternatives to petroleum based synthetic adhesives. The biopolymer particle adhesives provide are biodegradable as well as repulpable, and thus provide bio-based recycling-friendly alternatives to synthetic adhesives derived from petroleum resources.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 288,259, filed May 2, 2001. [0003] A Note About Federally Sponsored Research [0004] cannot apply Background of the invention [0005] 1. Technical field of invention [0006] The invention relates to the use of novel classes of nanoscale particle and / or microparticle adhesives based on biopolymers, including biopolymers such as starch, in a variety of adhesive applications. These biopolymer latex adhesives can be applied as an alternative solution to synthetic latex adhesives on a variety of porous and non-porous substrates. [0007] 2. Description of related fields [0008] WO 00 / 69916 describes the preparation of biopolymer nanoparticles using an extrusion process in which biopolymers such as starch or starch derivatives or mixtures thereof are processed under high shear forces in the presence of crosslinking agents. This patent ap...
