Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and particularly relates to a fully biodegradable polymer composite material for tableware and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the past few decades, traditional plastic tableware has been widely used in the catering industry due to its low cost, convenient production, stable performance and other characteristics. However, with the improvement of global environmental awareness and the increasing severity of plastic pollution problems, the environmental hazards brought by traditional plastic tableware have gradually become the focus of social attention.
[0003] Traditional plastic tableware is mainly made of non-degradable polymer materials such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), etc. These materials are difficult to decompose in the natural environment, and their degradation period often reaches hundreds or even thousands of years. After a large number of waste plastic tableware are discarded at will, they will not only cause "white pollution", damage the soil structure, affect the air permeability and water retention of the soil, hinder the growth and development of crop roots, and lead to crop yield reduction; but also pose a serious threat to the water ecosystem. Plastic garbage floats in rivers, lakes and oceans, is eaten by aquatic organisms, causing intestinal blockage, malnutrition and even death, and destroying the balance of the entire aquatic ecological chain. In addition, traditional plastic tableware consumes a large amount of non-renewable resources such as petroleum in the production process. With the increasing depletion of petroleum resources, it has become extremely urgent to find sustainable alternative materials.
[0004] To solve the environmental problems brought by traditional plastic tableware, degradable materials have emerged. Degradable materials refer to a class of materials that can undergo chemical structure changes within a certain period of time under specific environmental conditions, such as the action of microorganisms, light, moisture, etc., and finally decompose into small molecule substances and return to the natural environment. At present, the degradable materials applied to the tableware field mainly include biodegradable materials and photodegradable materials.
[0005] Biodegradable materials use the metabolic action of microorganisms to decompose the materials into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide, water and biomass. Common biodegradable materials include polylactic acid, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), starch-based materials, etc. Polylactic acid is made by fermenting starch or sugars extracted from renewable plant resources (such as corn, sugarcane, etc.). It has good biocompatibility and can be made into various tableware, such as lunch boxes, dinner plates, etc. However, polylactic acid tableware is brittle in a dry environment and easy to break. When in contact with high-temperature food or hot water, polylactic acid tableware may shrink, deform or even leak. Polyhydroxyalkanoates are a class of polyesters synthesized by microorganisms under specific conditions, with excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, but their high production cost limits large-scale application. Starch-based materials are made with starch as the main raw material and other additives. They have a low cost, but have problems such as poor mechanical properties and water resistance.
[0006] Photodegradable materials are made by adding photosensitizers to plastics, which undergo a photochemical reaction under ultraviolet light irradiation and thus decompose. However, the degradation process of photodegradable materials is greatly affected by light conditions. It is difficult to effectively degrade indoors or in environments with insufficient light, and the degradation is incomplete, still producing small molecule fragments, which pose a potential hazard to the environment.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop more suitable materials that can achieve good use performance by improving the material formula and production process, and can also achieve controllable degradation to meet the dual requirements of tableware for performance and environmental protection. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Aiming at the problems existing in the existing high molecular degradation materials for tableware, such as brittle fracture of polylactic acid, softening of starch, insufficient mechanical strength, poor heat and water resistance, and limited degradation conditions, the present invention provides a completely degradable high molecular composite material for tableware and its preparation method. The composite is made by combining specific proportions of linear corn starch, hydrophobically modified corn starch, tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate, poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material, copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate, polycaprolactone, stearic acid modified micron titanium dioxide, chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, composite plasticizer, composite heat stabilizer, etc., to obtain a completely degradable high molecular composite material with controllable and good biodegradability, good mechanical properties, enhanced thermal stability, improved processing performance, making each component easier to mix evenly, facilitating the forming process of the material, and improving production efficiency and product quality. The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0009] A completely degradable high molecular composite material for tableware, comprising the following raw materials in parts by mass: 3 to 5 parts of linear corn starch, 10 to 15 parts of hydrophobically modified corn starch, 10 to 15 parts of tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate, 30 to 40 parts of poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material, 8 to 10 parts of copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), 3 to 5 parts of polycaprolactone, 1 to 2 parts of stearic acid modified micron titanium dioxide, 2 to 4 parts of chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, 5 to 8 parts of composite plasticizer, 3 to 5 parts of composite heat stabilizer, and 0.3 to 1 part of stearic acid.
[0010] Among the above raw materials, the preparation method of the poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material includes: mixing poly(lactic acid), poly(butylene succinate) and rosmarinic acid evenly at 80°C to 90°C, then extruding with a twin-screw extruder, air-cooling and drawing into strips, and pelletizing to obtain the poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material.
[0011] In the preparation method of the above-mentioned polylactic acid-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material, the mass ratio of polylactic acid to poly(butylene succinate) is (1-1.5):1; the dosage of rosmarinic acid is 3%-5% of the total mass of polylactic acid and poly(butylene succinate); the extrusion temperature of the twin-screw extruder is 165°C-180°C, and the screw speed is 250 r / min-300 r / min. The materials are fully melted and kneaded under high temperature and the shearing action of the screw to form an interpenetrating network structure.
[0012] In the above raw materials, the preparation method of stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide includes: dissolving stearic acid in ethanol, then adding micron titanium dioxide, ultrasonically dispersing evenly, stirring and reacting, evaporating and recovering ethanol, taking the solid and drying it in vacuum, and dispersing it to obtain stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide.
[0013] In the preparation method of the above stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide, the mass ratio of micron titanium dioxide to stearic acid is 10:(1-1.5); the dosage of ethanol is 100-150 times the mass of stearic acid, and the temperature of ethanol is 60°C-65°C; the stirring reaction time is 1 h-2 h, and the stirring reaction speed is 300 r / min-500 r / min; the vacuum drying temperature is 40°C-50°C, and vacuum drying is carried out until constant weight.
[0014] In the above raw materials, the composite plasticizer is a composite plasticizer with a mass ratio of tributyl citrate to epoxidized soybean oil of (3-4):(1-1.5).
[0015] In the above raw materials, the composite heat stabilizer is a composite plasticizer with a mass ratio of iron pyrophosphate to zinc stearate of (2-3):(1-1.5).
[0016] The preparation method of the above-mentioned fully biodegradable polymer composite material for tableware includes the following steps:
[0017] S1: By mass, uniformly mix linear corn starch, hydrophobically modified corn starch and tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate at 70°C-80°C, then add stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide and mix evenly; then add the polylactic acid-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material, the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate, polycaprolactone and chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, and mix evenly; then add the composite plasticizer, the composite heat stabilizer and stearic acid, and mix evenly at 60°C-70°C to obtain a base material;
[0018] S2: Add the base material to a twin-screw extruder for melt blending and extrusion, air-cooled draw bar, and pelletize to obtain the pellets of the fully biodegradable polymer composite material.
[0019] In the above preparation method, linear corn starch, hydrophobically modified corn starch and tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate are pre-dried; the poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure material, the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate, polycaprolactone and quaternary ammonium chitosan are pre-crushed and dried.
[0020] In the above preparation method, the extrusion temperature of the twin-screw extruder is 160°C to 170°C, and the screw speed is 250 r / min to 300 r / min.
[0021] A fully biodegradable polymer composite material for tableware and its preparation method according to the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0022] First, a large number of hydroxyl groups are contained inside the linear corn starch. These hydroxyl groups can form extensive hydrogen bonds between molecules, endowing the material with a certain cohesion, which helps to improve the overall strength and stability of the material. However, the linear corn starch has strong hydrophilicity. When used alone, the material is prone to moisture absorption, resulting in a decline in performance. The hydrophobically modified corn starch significantly improves its hydrophilicity on the basis of retaining some of the original characteristics of the starch by hydrophobically modifying the corn starch. It can reduce the overall moisture absorption of the material, improve the dimensional stability and water resistance of the material in a humid environment, and avoid problems such as softening and strength reduction caused by water absorption. Tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate has good film-forming properties and flexibility, and can form a continuous film structure inside the material, increasing the flexibility of the material and making it not easily brittle when subjected to external forces.
[0023] The linear corn starch provides the basis for cohesion and strength, and can reduce the water absorption of the composite material to a certain extent. The hydrophobically modified corn starch improves the water resistance, and tapioca acetylated distarch phosphate increases the flexibility. The three cooperate with each other to achieve a better balance among the strength, flexibility and water resistance of the material, overcome the limitations of the performance of single starch-based materials, and significantly improve the comprehensive performance.
[0024] II. Preparation of Interpenetrating Network Structure Materials from Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polybutylene Succinate (PBS): PLA has good mechanical properties and processability, but is relatively brittle; PBS has good flexibility and biodegradability, but relatively low strength. By forming an interpenetrating network structure from them, complementary properties can be achieved. The molecular structure of rosmarinic acid contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, and these phenolic hydroxyl groups have strong hydrogen bond-forming ability. During the preparation of the polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material, the phenolic hydroxyl groups of rosmarinic acid can form a large number of hydrogen bonds with carbonyl, hydroxyl and other groups on the molecular chains of PLA and PBS. On the one hand, these hydrogen bonds promote the interpenetration and entanglement of the molecular chains of PLA and PBS, enabling the two polymers to be more uniformly mixed and form a more stable and perfect interpenetrating network structure; on the other hand, the presence of hydrogen bonds enhances the intermolecular interaction force, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the material; at the same time, it also improves the thermal stability of the material, enabling the material to maintain good properties at higher temperatures, resist high-temperature oxidation, and reduce the occurrence of thermal degradation.
[0025] III. Polylactic Acid-Polybutylene Succinate Interpenetrating Network Structure Material: It combines the high strength and easy processability of PLA with the flexibility and biodegradability of PBS, and has good mechanical properties and processability, capable of meeting the requirements for strength and shape retention during the forming and use of tableware. Copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV): PHBV is a polymer with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and can be decomposed by microorganisms into small molecules such as water and carbon dioxide in the natural environment. However, using PHBV alone is difficult to meet the requirements for strength and durability of tableware. In the present invention, the two are used in combination in a certain proportion. The polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material provides good mechanical strength and processability, ensuring the strength and stability of the tableware during use; PHBV endows the material with excellent biodegradability, enabling the tableware to be rapidly degraded in the natural environment after use, reducing environmental pollution. The two work synergistically to achieve the dual advantages of performance and environmental protection.
[0026] IV. The polycaprolactone (PCL) molecular chain has high flexibility and can play a plasticizing role in the composite material, reducing the intermolecular forces between other polymer molecular chains, improving the overall flexibility of the material, thereby enhancing the processing performance of the material, making it easier to form during the processing, and at the same time improving the mechanical properties of the material during use and reducing the risk of rupture caused by brittleness. PCL has good compatibility with a variety of polymers and can be intermixed at the molecular level with other components in the composite material, including poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure materials, starch substances, etc. This compatibility can reduce the interfacial tension between components, promote the uniform dispersion of components, form a more stable composite material system, avoid performance defects caused by uneven component dispersion, and thus improve the overall performance of the material.
[0027] V. Micron titanium dioxide itself has high hardness and good ultraviolet shielding performance, which can improve the mechanical strength of the material. However, due to its hydrophilic surface, its compatibility with organic polymer materials is poor, and it is difficult to be uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix and is prone to agglomeration. This not only fails to fully exert its role in enhancing and shielding ultraviolet rays, but instead becomes a stress concentration point inside the material, reducing the performance of the material. In the present invention, micron titanium dioxide is surface-modified with stearic acid. The long-chain alkyl part in the stearic acid molecule has a similar structure to the organic polymer material and can have a good affinity with the polymer matrix; at the same time, the coating of stearic acid introduces hydrophobic groups on the surface of micron titanium dioxide, greatly improving its compatibility with organic polymer materials. Therefore, the stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide can be more uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix, fully exert its enhancing effect, and effectively improve the mechanical properties of the material; and can better play the role of shielding ultraviolet rays.
[0028] VI. Ferric pyrophosphate has good thermal stability and antioxidant properties. In a high-temperature environment, it can capture free radicals generated during the degradation of the material and inhibit the oxidative degradation reaction of the material, thereby stabilizing the chemical structure of the material and preventing the performance deterioration of the material due to thermal oxidation, including yellowing and embrittlement. In addition to having a certain thermal stabilization effect, zinc stearate also has good lubricity. During the processing of the material, zinc stearate can reduce the friction coefficient between the material and the processing equipment and between the molecules inside the material, prevent local overheating of the material caused by frictional heat generation, and thus avoid the occurrence of thermal degradation. At the same time, the lubricating film formed by zinc stearate in the material can also improve the fluidity of the material and enhance the processing performance.
[0029] Ferric pyrophosphate mainly improves the thermal stability of the material from the perspective of inhibiting oxidative degradation, while zinc stearate ensures the thermal stability of the material during processing by reducing friction and improving processing performance. According to the characteristics of each component of the material, the present invention makes the two cooperate in a certain proportion, and they act synergistically in different aspects to comprehensively improve the thermal stability of the material, so that the material can better maintain stable performance during processing and use.
[0030] VII. Tributyl citrate can be inserted between polymer molecular chains, weaken the intermolecular interaction force, increase the mobility of molecular chains, thereby significantly improving the flexibility and plasticity of the material, making it easy to process and form, and meeting the processing requirements of the complex shape of tableware. The molecular structure of epoxidized soybean oil contains epoxy groups, and these epoxy groups can interact with polymer molecular chains to further enhance the cohesion and stability of the material. At the same time, epoxidized soybean oil can improve the water resistance of the material.
[0031] Tributyl citrate is mainly responsible for improving the flexibility and plasticity of the material. While epoxidized soybean oil is used as an auxiliary plasticizer, it enhances the water resistance and other properties of the material. The two are used in combination to achieve the synergy of plasticization effect and the improvement of other properties, making the material not only have good processing performance and flexibility, but also have good comprehensive properties such as water resistance, meeting the performance requirements of tableware in different use environments.
[0032] In summary, using the fully biodegradable polymer composite material of the present invention to prepare tableware has controllable and good biodegradability, good mechanical properties, enhanced thermal stability, improved processing performance, making each component easier to mix evenly, facilitating the forming processing of the material, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0110] I. Tensile strength test: Refer to GB / T 1040.2 "Plastics - Determination of tensile properties - Part 2: Test conditions for moulding and extrusion plastics" for testing.

[0115] Table 1 Test Results
[0116]
[0117]
[0118] From the above results, it can be seen that the materials of Examples 1 to 5 have good service performance, better tensile strength and flexural strength, better mechanical strength, are not easily brittle, have good heat and water resistance, and are more conducive to rapid degradation.
[0119] From the results of Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the linear amylose molecules have a linear structure and certain crystallinity, and can provide rigid support like a "skeleton" in the material system, enhancing the tensile and flexural strength of the material. When hydrophobic modified corn starch is used to replace amylose, the molecular structure of hydrophobic modified corn starch changes, and its rigidity is lower than that of amylose, resulting in a decrease in the overall rigidity of the material. The crystalline structure of amylose has a positive effect on the thermal stability of the material. After replacement, the internal crystalline structure of the material changes, and the heat distortion temperature decreases. In addition, the hydrophilicity of hydrophobic modified corn starch is different from that of amylose. When preparing the material, the molecular binding structure is different, and the water absorption changes. In terms of degradation, due to the change in the starch structure, the action sites and methods of microorganisms on the material change, resulting in a decrease in the degradation rate.
[0120] From the results of Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that cassava acetylated distarch phosphate contains special chemical groups, which can interact with other material components to form a relatively tight structure, thus making an important contribution to the mechanical properties of the material. When it is replaced by hydrophobically modified corn starch, the interaction inside the material weakens, and the overall mechanical properties deteriorate. The special structure of cassava acetylated distarch phosphate helps to improve the thermal stability of the material, and the heat distortion temperature decreases after replacement. During the degradation process, due to the change of the starch structure, the ease of microbial action changes, and the degradation rate changes.
[0121] From the results of Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that simultaneously replacing linear corn starch and cassava acetylated distarch phosphate fundamentally changes the structure and properties of the starch part in the material, and the structural integrity of the material is greatly damaged. The rigid support and interaction network originally provided by linear corn starch and cassava acetylated distarch phosphate are broken, resulting in a significant decrease in mechanical properties. The heat distortion temperature also decreases significantly due to the instability of the internal structure of the material. The water absorption rate increases significantly due to the change in hydrophilicity after the starch structure is changed, and the degradation rate also decreases significantly.
[0122] From the results of Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that rosmarinic acid plays a key role in the preparation of poly(lactic acid)-poly(butylene succinate) interpenetrating network structure materials. It can promote the cross-linking reaction between poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene succinate) molecules, form a tighter connection between molecular chains, enhance the compatibility between the two polymers at the same time, enable them to act synergistically better, and also has antioxidant properties to prevent poly(lactic acid) and poly(butylene succinate) from oxidizing at high temperatures. When rosmarinic acid is not added, the formation of the interpenetrating network structure is imperfect, the intermolecular force weakens, and when the material is subjected to external tensile and bending forces, the molecular chains are prone to relative sliding and separation, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength and bending strength. The heat distortion temperature also decreases due to the weakening of intermolecular interactions.
[0123] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 5 (the addition amount of the polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material is reduced) that the polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material has relatively high strength and good thermal stability, and makes great contributions to the mechanical properties and thermal properties in the material system. When its addition amount is reduced from 35 parts to 15 parts, and the remaining amount is replaced with 20 parts of the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate, due to the differences in the properties between the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate and the polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material, the synergistic effect of their combination is insufficient, and its strength and thermal stability are relatively low. This causes the overall load-bearing capacity of the material to decline, and the tensile strength and flexural strength to decrease. The heat distortion temperature also decreases due to the reduction of the heat-resistant components in the material and the change of the combined structure. In terms of water absorption rate and degradation rate, due to the change of the overall composition structure of the material, the interaction between the material and water and the effect of microorganisms on the material change.
[0124] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 6 (replacement with the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate) that the molecular structures and performance characteristics of the copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate and the polylactic acid-polybutylene succinate interpenetrating network structure material are different. After replacement, the molecular chain structure and the aggregated state structure of the material change, and various properties change.
[0125] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 7 (no polycaprolactone is added) that polycaprolactone has good flexibility and toughening effect, and can improve the processing performance and toughness of the material in the material system. When no polycaprolactone is added, the toughness of the material decreases, and when subjected to tensile and bending external forces, the stress concentration phenomenon inside the material is more obvious, and brittle fracture is more likely to occur. Therefore, the tensile strength and flexural strength decrease slightly, but have little effect on the heat distortion temperature, water absorption rate and degradation rate.
[0126] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 8 (unmodified micron titanium dioxide) that the compatibility and dispersibility between micron titanium dioxide and the matrix material are improved through the action of stearic acid for stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide. When unmodified micron titanium dioxide is used to replace stearic acid-modified micron titanium dioxide, the unmodified micron titanium dioxide is prone to agglomeration in the matrix and cannot be evenly dispersed in the material, so it cannot effectively transfer stress and enhance the performance of the material. This causes the stress not to be evenly distributed when the material is subjected to external forces, and stress concentration is likely to occur around the agglomerated micron titanium dioxide particles, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength, flexural strength, and heat distortion temperature. During the degradation process, due to the change in the dispersion state of micron titanium dioxide, it also has a certain impact on the degradation process of the material.
[0127] From the results of Comparative Example 9, it can be seen that: in the composite heat stabilizer, iron pyrophosphate and zinc stearate play a synergistic heat stabilizing role in a specific ratio. Iron pyrophosphate can capture the free radicals generated during the heating process of the material and inhibit the progress of the thermal degradation reaction; while zinc stearate can stabilize the chemical structure of the material by reacting with the acidic substances in the material. When all iron pyrophosphate is used, although it can inhibit the generation of free radicals to a certain extent, the reaction effect of zinc stearate with acidic substances is lost, the stability of the chemical structure of the material during heating decreases, it is more likely to undergo thermal degradation and structural changes, and the mechanical properties are also affected.
[0128] From the results of Comparative Example 10, it can be seen that: similarly, when all zinc stearate is used, although it can stabilize the chemical structure of the material to a certain extent, it cannot effectively inhibit the generation of free radicals. The thermal degradation reaction induced by free radicals during heating of the material is intensified, the thermal stability becomes poor, and the mechanical properties also decrease accordingly.
[0129] From the results of Comparative Example 11, it can be seen that: in the composite plasticizer, tributyl citrate and epoxidized soybean oil play a plasticizing role in a specific ratio. The molecules of tributyl citrate and epoxidized soybean oil can insert between the polymer molecular chains, weaken the intermolecular forces, and endow the material with better flexibility and processability. When all tributyl citrate is used, since its individual action cannot achieve the best plasticizing effect, the flexibility and processability of the material decrease. This limits the sliding between the molecular chains when the material is subjected to external forces, and the heat distortion temperature is also affected to a certain extent.
[0130] From the results of Comparative Example 12, it can be seen that: when all epoxidized soybean oil is used, the best plasticizing effect cannot be achieved either. When epoxidized soybean oil acts alone, it cannot weaken the intermolecular forces between polymer molecular chains as comprehensively as the composite plasticizer, resulting in a decrease in material properties.
