Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of composite membrane preparation, and in particular to an environmentally responsive degradable biomimetic composite membrane and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the global plastic pollution problem becomes increasingly serious, the long-term residues of traditional petroleum-based plastics, especially disposable plastic products such as agricultural mulch films, in the natural environment have caused serious damage to soil ecology, crop growth and the microbial environment. The development of degradable and environmentally friendly alternative materials has become an important research direction for sustainable development. However, existing degradable materials still face many technical challenges: Uncontrollable degradation behavior: The degradation rate of currently widely used biodegradable materials (such as polylactic acid PLA, polybutylene adipate / terephthalate PBAT, etc.) is greatly affected by environmental factors, making it difficult to accurately match the growth cycle requirements of different crops. For example, some crops require mulch films to remain stable during the growing season and degrade rapidly after harvest, but the degradation process of existing materials is often highly random and cannot be intelligently controlled. Insufficient mechanical properties and weather resistance: Many degradable materials are prone to early degradation or loss of mechanical properties in high temperature and high humidity environments, resulting in an inability to meet the strength requirements of agricultural mulch films in actual applications. In addition, traditional single material systems are difficult to achieve flexibility, tear resistance and water resistance, which affects their actual service life. Weak interlayer bonding: Existing multilayer composite films are mostly prepared by physical lamination or co-extrusion processes, but the interfacial compatibility between the hydrophobic layer and the hydrophilic layer is poor, and delamination and peeling are prone to occur, affecting the overall performance of the material. Although some studies have improved interfacial bonding through plasma treatment or chemical modification, it is still difficult to achieve a coordinated response of each layer during the degradation process. Single environmental responsiveness: Current environmentally responsive materials mostly rely on a single stimulus (such as pH, temperature or enzymatic hydrolysis), but in the actual natural environment, the degradation process is often affected by multiple factors (humidity, microorganisms, temperature fluctuations, etc.). For example, materials that rely solely on pH response may fail when the temperature changes, and purely thermosensitive materials cannot adapt to different soil microbial environments, resulting in unpredictable degradation behavior. Additive contamination risk: Some degradable materials accelerate degradation by adding photosensitizers, oxidants or metal catalysts, but these additives may remain in the soil, causing secondary pollution to the ecological environment. In addition, simple blending of natural polymers (such as starch, cellulose) and synthetic polyesters (such as PBS, PHA) can easily lead to phase separation, affecting the uniformity and functional stability of the material.
[0003] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the present invention provides an environmentally responsive degradable bionic composite membrane and a preparation method thereof, and develops a new type of bionic multilayer composite membrane. By optimizing the material composition, interface structure and preparation process, it achieves precise regulation of degradation behavior, providing innovative solutions for sustainable materials in agriculture, packaging and other fields.

[0008] The hydrophilic layer is formed by cross-linking modified starch and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) through aldehyde-hydroxyl groups, with a cross-linking degree of 15% to 35%;
[0009] Mechanical interlocking is achieved between layers through plasma-treated micro-nano concave-convex structures.
[0010] Preferably, the hydrophobic layer contains 2-8 wt% of nano-hydroxyapatite, the surface of which is grafted with oleic acid molecules at a grafting rate of 1.2-2.5 molecules / nm. 2 .

[0015] This application also claims a method for preparing the above-mentioned environmentally responsive degradable biomimetic composite membrane, comprising the following steps:
[0016] (1) The hydrophobic layer was prepared by micro-gravure coating method at a coating temperature of 85-95°C and a line speed of 2-5 m / min;
[0017] (2) electrostatically spraying the treatment liquid to construct a micro-nano concave-convex structure on the surface of the hydrophobic layer at a voltage of 8 to 12 kV and a solution flow rate of 0.5 to 1.2 mL / h;
[0018] (3) a hydrophilic layer was prepared on the modified surface by a doctor blade coating method with a wet film thickness of 200–500 μm;
[0019] (4) Gradient drying was performed at a relative humidity of 60% to 80%, first at 25°C for 2 hours and then at 45°C for 4 hours.
[0020] Preferably, it is characterized in that, in step (2), the treatment liquid is a PBS solution containing 0.1-0.5M citric acid, the plasma treatment power is 50-100W, and the treatment time is 30-90s.
[0021] The present application also claims protection for an application of the above-mentioned environmentally responsive degradable biomimetic composite membrane, which, when used as an agricultural mulch film, can achieve a controllable degradation period of 30 to 180 days by adjusting the hydrophobic layer / hydrophilic layer thickness ratio to 1 to 3:1 to 2.
[0022] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0023] 1. The present invention has precise and controllable degradation performance and pH / temperature dual-responsive degradation: the temperature-sensitive switch molecule (PNIPAM-b-PAA) in the hydrophilic layer can undergo a phase transition at a specific temperature (LCST 32-35°C), while the degradation rate of the hydrophobic layer is significantly accelerated with increasing pH (5.5-8.5), achieving environmentally adaptive degradation; the degradation cycle is adjustable (30-180 days): by adjusting the hydrophobic layer / hydrophilic layer thickness ratio (1-3:1-2), it can be flexibly matched to the needs of different crop growth cycles to avoid premature or late degradation; composting degradation is efficient and safe: under standard composting conditions (56-60°C, 60% humidity), the degradation rate is >90% within 20-50 days, and the acute toxicity LC50 of the degradation product to earthworms is >1000 mg / kg, with high ecological safety;
[0024] 2.

[0025] 3. The present invention is environmentally friendly and sustainable. Fully bio-based / degradable components: Uses fully biodegradable materials such as PHA, PBS, modified starch, and PVA to avoid microplastic residues. No harmful additives: Degradation is regulated through molecular design (such as thermosensitive block copolymers), eliminating the need for photosensitizers or metal catalysts, reducing the risk of soil pollution. Energy-saving preparation process: Combining micro-gravure coating (85-95°C) and electrostatic spraying (8-12kV), it reduces energy consumption by more than 30% compared to traditional multi-layer co-extrusion processes.
[0026] 4. The present invention has a wide range of applications. Agricultural mulch films can have their degradation cycles customized to suit different climates and crop requirements, such as temperate regions (slow degradation) and tropical regions (fast degradation). Food packaging: The oxygen barrier properties of the hydrophilic layer and the moisture barrier properties of the hydrophobic layer can synergistically extend the shelf life of food, allowing for easy composting after disposal. Medical dressings: Their temperature-sensitive properties can be used in wound dressings, triggering drug release or accelerated degradation in response to body temperature.
[0027] 5.
