Problems solved by technology

However, PLA is brittle, easy to break, low in crystallinity and difficult to form, so it is not ideal to use as a raw material for toothbrush handles
[0004]In order to improve the toughness of polylactic acid, people have carried out some research work, such as compounding polylactic acid and other aliphatic polyesters, but the price is expensive and it is difficult to be accepted by the market. accept
Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) is also used to toughen polylactic acid because of its cheapness, easy availability and excellent toughness, but the compatibility of PLA and EVA is not ideal, making the effect difficult to achieve practical application. Therefore, Sun Qiangying et al. (Journal of Donghua University (Natural Science Edition), 2009, 135 (4), 376.) used ethylene-methyl acrylate glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) and horse Anhydride-grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA-MAH) has prepared toughened polylactic acid as a compatibilizer of PLA and EVA, but the price is higher; Fu Xuejun et al. (Plastic Science and Technology, 2007, 35 (7) , 50) The plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DOP) is used as the compatibilizer of PLA and EVA, but DOP is toxic and not suitable for the preparation of toothbrush handles; long cycle

Abstract

The invention provides a biodegradable raw material of a toothbrush handle and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: in a twin-screw extruder, adding a mixture of PLA (polylactic acid), EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), a nucleating agent modified by a compounded surface finishing agent and a stabilizer which are evenly mixed in advance; and then extruding and pelleting at a certain temperature and rotation speed, so as to prepare the biodegradable raw material, which has biodegradability and good toughness and is easy to form, of the toothbrush handle. In the invention, the compounded surface finishing agent with reaction function is adopted, the interface status among PLA, EVA and the inorganic nucleating agent is improved by utilizing in situ reaction so that the toughness of the prepared raw material is greatly improved, and the prepared raw material is easy to shape and can be used for the raw material of the toothbrush handle, thereby retarding the use of petrifaction raw materials and eliminating white pollution. Thus, the raw material of the biodegradable toothbrush handle has wide industrial prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer processing, in particular to a biodegradable toothbrush handle raw material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A toothbrush is a simple commodity with a handle that resembles a popsicle stick. At present, toothbrush handles are mostly made of traditional petrochemical raw materials such as polypropylene, polystyrene and rubber, which are all non-biodegradable. Although a toothbrush handle is very small, only about ten grams, everyone needs to use a toothbrush. According to scientific use, a toothbrush should be changed at least every three months. There are about 6.9 billion people in the world, and the number of toothbrush handles used each year is about It is 200 billion pieces (about 200,000 tons of plastic), and when it is discarded, it will generate 200,000 tons of plastic waste, so the toothbrush handle not only uses a lot of petrochemical resources, but also br...
