Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite film preparation, and specifically to a multilayer coextruded nano-ceramic coated high-barrier pharmaceutical packaging composite film and its preparation method. Background Art
[0002] A composite film is a film structure formed by combining multiple functional materials through precision processing technology, designed specifically to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical packaging for high barrier properties, antibacterial properties, and mechanical stability. Its core value lies in the synergistic effect of each layer of material to effectively block external factors such as oxygen and water vapor, while also having the ability to inhibit microbial contamination. It is widely used in scenarios such as vaccine stoppers, injection packaging, and biologic sealing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drugs during storage and transportation.
[0003] Traditional medical composite films mostly use basic polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene simply compounded with aluminum foil or ordinary barrier layers (such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer). These materials have significant defects: the barrier performance is easily attenuated by humidity, the aluminum foil layer has poor flexibility and is prone to corrosion and perforation, the surface lacks antibacterial function, leading to the risk of microbial growth. In addition, the interlayer bonding force is insufficient, prone to peeling, and the active drug components may be damaged during the high-temperature and high-pressure processing. These problems directly threaten the stability of drugs and even cause secondary pollution.

[0014] Based on the above composite film formulation, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a multilayer co-extruded nano-ceramic coated high-barrier pharmaceutical packaging composite film, comprising the following steps: S1. The following polymer particles used for the substrate layer, barrier layer and adhesive layer: Biaxially oriented polypropylene, metallocene linear low density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinylidene chloride emulsion and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene are respectively put into a vacuum dryer and dried at 80-100°C for 4-6 hours to make the water content ≤ 0.02%; Meanwhile, nano-titanium dioxide, nano-boron nitride sheets, modified montmorillonite, and nano-silicon carbide whisker powder materials are placed in a nitrogen-protected ball mill and dispersed at a rotation speed of 300-400 revolutions per minute for 30-60 minutes to ensure uniform particle size distribution; S2. Use a five-layer co-extrusion blown film unit for melt co-extrusion: Substrate layer: Mix the pretreated biaxially oriented polypropylene: 80-100 parts, metallocene linear low density polyethylene: 20-30 parts with nano-titanium dioxide: 5-8 parts, β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid: 0.5-1 part, calcium stearate: 0.3-0.6 part, and melt-extrude through the main extruder at 190-210°C; Barrier layer: Extrude ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer: 40-60 parts, polyvinylidene chloride emulsion: 15-25 parts with nano-boron nitride sheets: 10-15 parts, modified montmorillonite: 8-12 parts through the second extruder at 200-230°C; Adhesive layer: Melt 100 parts of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene with 3-5 parts of nano-silicon carbide whiskers through the third extruder at 180-200°C; After the melts of each layer are compounded by a distributor, they are extruded from an annular die head under a pressure of 0.8-1.2 MPa. The film bubble is cooled and shaped by an air ring, and the winding linear speed is 8-12 m / min, finally forming a three-layer composite base film with a total thickness of 80-120 μm; S3. Introduce the co-extruded base film into an atmospheric plasma processor and perform corona treatment in an oxygen / argon mixed gas environment. The treatment power density is 100-150 watts per square meter, and the residence time is 0.5-1.2 seconds to increase the surface tension to 50-55 mN / m and the dyne value ≥ 40; The treated base film needs to be left standing in a constant temperature and humidity chamber for 10-15 minutes to stabilize the surface state; S4. Use a microgravure roll coater to uniformly coat the nano-ceramic functional coating slurry on the surface of the base film: Mix nano-zinc oxide / silver composite particles: 8 - 12 parts, fumed silica: 5 - 8 parts, KH-550 silane coupling agent: 2 - 4 parts, polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride: 1 - 2 parts, perfluoroalkyl ethyl acrylate copolymer: 3 - 5 parts with absolute ethanol in a mass ratio of 1:4, and treat it with an ultrasonic disperser for 30 - 40 minutes to form a stable suspension with a solid content of 20 - 25%; Set the coating roll speed ratio to 1:1.2 - 1.5, the base film tension to 8 - 10 N / cm², the wet film thickness to 10 - 15 μm. After coating, the film material immediately enters the infrared pre-drying area to make the solvent evaporation rate ≥ 85%; S5. Put the film material into a hot air circulation curing furnace, cure it by three-stage gradient heating, and quickly cool it to room temperature through a cold roll after curing. Finally, control the coating thickness within 2 - 3 μm; S6. Finally, use a numerical control slitter to slit the wide film material into the specified width, with a slitting speed of 20 - 30 m / min and a tension control of 5 - 8 N / cm².
[0015] Preferably, the three-stage gradient heating curing in step S5 is respectively: The first stage: Keep warm at 80 - 100 °C for 2 - 3 minutes to promote the cross-linking of the silane coupling agent; The second stage: Treat at 120 - 140 °C for 5 - 8 minutes to achieve the melting and leveling of the perfluoroalkyl ethyl acrylate copolymer; The third stage: Rapidly cure at 160 - 180 °C for 30 - 60 seconds to form a dense nano-ceramic coating.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In the present invention, the base material layer uses biaxially oriented polypropylene and metallocene polyethylene to synergistically enhance the mechanical properties. The gas barrier layer introduces nano-boron nitride flakes and modified montmorillonite to construct a multi-level barrier network. The surface nano-ceramic coating integrates zinc oxide / silver composite particles and perfluoropolymers, endowing the film material with self-cleaning and long-term antibacterial properties. It not only solves the defects of unstable barrier performance and easy pollution of traditional materials, but also avoids the imbalance of mechanical properties and flexibility through the precise dispersion of nano-fillers. At the same time, through the multi-layer co-extrusion and gradient curing technology, the five-layer co-extrusion process ensures uniform base film thickness and strong interfacial bonding. Plasma surface treatment enhances the coating adhesion. The segmented curing strategy of the nano-ceramic coating ensures the retention of the activity and uniform distribution of functional components. Compared with the hot pressing composite or solvent coating process of traditional composite films, it greatly reduces the energy consumption and the risk of solvent residue, while improving the production efficiency and product consistency, providing large-scale applications for pharmaceutical packaging.

Analysis conclusion: Combined with the data in Tables 1 to 4, it can be seen that: The oxygen and water vapor transmission rates of the examples are better than those of the comparative examples, which proves that the components within the interval can balance the dispersibility of the nano-fillers and the denseness of the polymer matrix. The antibacterial rate of the examples is stably ≥ 99.5%, while the antibacterial rate of Comparative Example 5 drops sharply to 95.0% due to insufficient silver content. Comparative Example 3 has increased brittleness due to excessive boron nitride, with a tensile strength of 55 MPa but the film material is easily broken. The 48 MPa of Example 1 is more in line with the requirements of flexible packaging. Therefore, the process parameters and components of Examples 1 - 5 are more advantageous within the interval during the preparation of the multi-layer co-extruded nano-ceramic coated high-barrier pharmaceutical packaging composite film of the present invention; Also, because the material values in Example 1 avoid agglomeration caused by excessive amounts or functional deficiencies caused by insufficient amounts, the plasma treatment power density of 125 watts per square meter precisely activates the surface, the coating solid content of 22.5% achieves uniform coverage, the oxygen transmission rate of 0.04, the antibacterial rate of 99.9%, and the tensile strength of 48 MPa all meet the core requirements of pharmaceutical packaging for high barrier, strong antibacterial, and resistance to mechanical stress. In summary, Example 1 is the best example of the present invention.
