Problems solved by technology

Foamed PLA materials are mainly prepared by chemical foaming agents, which are prone to cell merging and collapse, resulting in large and uneven cell sizes. Addition of other additives may make the foamed PLA material not fully biodegradable; in addition, when linear PLA is used for foaming, low melt strength affects its foaming performance to a large extent, and it is difficult to control the cells structure and size

Abstract

The invention discloses a polylactide-based blended material, a preparation method thereof and a method for preparing a foam material from the polylactide-based blended material. The mass ratio of PLA to an elastomer in main components of the blended material is (70-90):(30-10), and the mass percentage of a chain extender is 0.2-2.0% calculated according to the fact that the mass sum of PLA and the elastomer is 100%. The preparation method of the blended material comprises the following steps: mechanically mixing PLA, the elastomer and the chain extender according to the ratio to form a premix; then, placing the premix into an extruder; and reacting and carrying out melt blending to obtain the polylactide-based blended material. According to the preparation method of the foam material, the prepared polylactide-based blended material is placed in a high-pressure kettle cavity and is foamed through introducing a supercritical fluid, or the prepared polylactide-based blended material is added into an injection molding machine or extruder and is foamed through introducing the supercritical fluid. The blended material prepared by using the preparation method not only has very high toughness, but also remains the original strength of a polylactic acid material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials and their preparation, in particular to a polylactic acid-based blend material and a preparation method thereof, as well as a method for preparing foamed materials therefrom. Background technique [0002] At present, efforts are being made to prepare biodegradable green polymer materials from renewable resources. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a green biodegradable material that can replace traditional petroleum-based polymer materials in many applications due to its higher strength. However, the inherent brittleness of PLA limits its application range. [0003] PLA can be modified by methods such as copolymerization and blending to improve its toughness. Among them, the process of copolymerization modification is complicated, the efficiency is low, and the cost of the monomer used is high. Blending elastomer directly with PLA is a simple and effective method to improve its toughness, but i...
