Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of antibacterial plastics, in particular to a functional zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polypropylene (PP) is one of the five conventional plastics that are corrosion-resistant, electrically insulating, non-toxic, easy to process and inexpensive. It is widely used in our daily lives, so high requirements are placed on PP with high strength and antibacterial properties for various uses, such as household appliances, filters, packaging materials, and various forms of textile industries, such as non-woven films and fibers. However, the lack of antibacterial properties on the surface of polypropylene limits the application of polypropylene in these fields. For this reason, researchers have conducted a lot of research, such as the Chinese patent publication number CN103059405B, which discloses antibacterial polypropylene plastics, and the Chinese patent publication number CN106995557B, which discloses an antibacterial polypropylene masterbatch and a preparation method thereof. Although both increase the antibacterial properties of polypropylene, they still have the problem of large amount of antibacterial substances added and unsatisfactory antibacterial effect.

[0003] As an inorganic metal oxide, nano zinc oxide has unique physical and chemical stability, ultraviolet absorption, antibacterial and non-toxic properties. Therefore, nano zinc oxide has been used in various applications, such as food packaging, cosmetics and drugs. Benzimidazole is a useful intermediate for developing new molecules with biological or pharmaceutical significance. Benzimidazole derivatives have been found to have good activity and have good applications in anti-tumor, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and other fields. However, benzimidazole derivatives are mostly small molecules, which are easy to precipitate when directly added to polypropylene, reducing the antibacterial stability of polypropylene. Grafting it on the surface of zinc oxide can not only avoid the reduction of the antibacterial stability of polypropylene, but also increase the antibacterial ability of polypropylene through synergistic effects. According to the method of Xu Zhixian's "Synthesis and Characterization of New Block and Graft Copolymers of Polyethylene", single-end carboxyl polyethylene is prepared with flexible long chains, which can not only improve the mechanical properties of polypropylene, but also serve as a grafting medium, so that the benzimidazole derivatives are grafted on the surface of zinc oxide to avoid its shedding and precipitation during use.

[0004] 1. Technical issues to be resolved In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a functional zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic and a preparation method thereof, which solves the problem that the polypropylene plastic has no antibacterial property and low mechanical strength.

[0005] (II) Technical solution To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a functional zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic, the preparation method of the functional zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic comprises the following steps: (1) Preparation of maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene: maleic anhydride, an interfacial agent xylene and an initiator azobisisobutyronitrile are placed in a reaction bottle, stirred evenly, and then carboxyl-terminated polyethylene is added. The mixture is continuously stirred and reacted under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction is completed, maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene is obtained. (2) Preparation of amino zinc oxide: Add zinc oxide and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to an acetone solvent at a mass ratio of 100:1-3:1800-4000, and react at 70-100°C for 3-8h. When the reaction is completed, amino zinc oxide is obtained; (3) Preparation of carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide: Aminated zinc oxide and maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene are ultrasonically dispersed in an ether solvent, stirred evenly and reacted. After the reaction is completed, carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide is obtained; (4) Preparation of benzimidazole-based polyethylene grafted zinc oxide: ultrasonically disperse the carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide in tetrahydrofuran, then add 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, stir evenly, and react. After the reaction is completed, benzimidazole-based polyethylene grafted zinc oxide is obtained; (5) Preparation of functionalized zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic: Add benzimidazole polyethylene grafted zinc oxide and polypropylene into a high-speed mixer, mix evenly, and then transfer to a twin-screw extruder for granulation, and then use an injection molding machine for preparation and shaping to obtain functionalized zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic.

[0006] Preferably, in step (1), the mass ratio of maleic anhydride, xylene, azobisisobutyronitrile and carboxyl-terminated polyethylene is 3-8:8-20:0.2-0.5:100.

[0007] Preferably, in step (1), the reaction temperature is 80-120° C. and the reaction time is 2-6 h.

[0008] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of the amino zinc oxide, the maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene and the ether is 100:120-200:1800-3000.

[0009] Preferably, in step (3), the reaction temperature is 20-50° C. and the reaction time is 6-15 h.

[0010] Preferably, in step (4), the mass ratio of the carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide, tetrahydrofuran, 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine is 100:2500-6000:8-15:60-100:8-12.

[0011] Preferably, in step (4), the reaction temperature is 120-150° C. and the reaction time is 4-10 h.

[0012] Preferably, in step (5), the mass ratio between the benzimidazole-based polyethylene grafted zinc oxide and the polypropylene is 1.5-6:100.

[0013] 3. Beneficial technical effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following experimental principles and beneficial technical effects: The functionalized zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic comprises the following steps: firstly, xylene is used as an interface agent and azobisisobutyronitrile is used as an initiator to make a graft reaction between carboxyl-terminated polyethylene and maleic anhydride to obtain maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene; secondly, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is used as a modifier to modify zinc oxide to obtain amino zinc oxide; then, the high activity of maleic anhydride in the maleic anhydride grafted carboxyl-terminated polyethylene is used to react with the amino group of the amino zinc oxide to obtain carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide; then, under the catalytic system of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine, the carboxyl end of the carboxyl-terminated polyethylene grafted zinc oxide is subjected to an esterification reaction with the hydroxyl group of 2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole to obtain benzimidazole-based polyethylene grafted zinc oxide; and finally, the functionalized zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic is prepared by blending.

[0014] The functionalized zinc oxide modified polypropylene antibacterial plastic has better antibacterial properties and mechanical properties than pure polypropylene plastic. Zinc oxide is a non-toxic and harmless antibacterial inorganic substance with antibacterial effect. When added to polypropylene plastic, it not only increases the antibacterial property of polypropylene plastic, but also improves its mechanical properties. In polypropylene, when zinc oxide is exposed to light, the electrons in the valence band are excited with high energy and jump to the conduction band, thereby forming photogenerated hole-electron pairs in the valence band and the conduction band, wherein the photogenerated electrons have strong reducing properties and the photogenerated holes have strong oxidizing properties. When an oxidation reaction occurs with hydroxyl radicals or water molecules on the surface of the substance, highly reactive substances such as OH are generated, which can photocatalytically inactivate bacteria, viruses or other pollutants, thereby increasing the antibacterial property of polypropylene plastic. In addition, zinc oxide acts on inorganic substances to form an organic-inorganic network structure in the polypropylene structure, which is exposed to external light. When the external force is affected by stress, it is dispersed inside the polypropylene through the network structure, avoiding the damage caused by stress concentration, increasing the elongation at break of the polypropylene plastic, and slowly reducing the tensile strength. The benzimidazole derivatives have good biological activity and antibacterial effects, inhibiting the formation of DNA topoisomerase and HIV reverse transcriptase in bacterial cells, reducing the reproduction of bacterial cells, and achieving the effect of inhibiting bacterial growth. By grafting the benzimidazole derivatives on the surface of zinc oxide, not only the escape and loss of small molecules are avoided, but also the antibacterial effect of the polypropylene plastic is increased through the synergistic effect between the benzimidazole derivatives and zinc oxide. When polyethylene is added to polypropylene by blending, polyethylene inserts into the crystal structure of polypropylene, co-crystallizes, etc., which increases the crystallization point between polypropylene and polyethylene, forms a network structure with a higher degree of cross-linking, enhances the interaction between the two, and further improves the mechanical properties of polypropylene.
