Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of high molecular materials, in particular to a chitin / cotton linter pulp fiber composite antibacterial film and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chitin is the second largest renewable resource in nature after fiber, and widely exists in shrimps. Chitin has good chemical stability and good chelation of pollutants, and has antibacterial property; however, chitin film has high brittleness and low elongation at break, and needs to be blended with other materials to effectively improve the mechanical and physical and chemical properties of the film.
[0003] Cellulose has excellent biological compatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Cellulose and chitin are natural high molecular materials with abundant reserves in nature, and have many similarities in structure and function. Compared with conventional filling materials, chitin as a filling material can better improve the surface tension of the film, so that the film has good mixing performance with the fiber matrix, and can also improve the thermodynamic properties of the film. After blending of different substances, a composite substance with better performance than the original single component can be obtained. However, cellulose and chitin have poor solubility in aqueous solution, and chitin is prone to aggregation during film formation, which affects the uniformity of the composite film. Moreover, the source and pretreatment process of chitin are not systematically optimized in the prior art, so that the degree of deacetylation of chitin is unstable, which finally affects the antibacterial performance of the film.
[0004] Therefore, there is no report on a chitin / cotton linter pulp fiber composite antibacterial film with good film uniformity and excellent and stable antibacterial performance. SUMMARY
[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a chitin / cotton linter pulp fiber composite antibacterial film and a preparation method thereof. The composite antibacterial film uses cotton linter pulp cellulose as a substrate, uses chitin extracted from shrimp shells through a systematic process as an auxiliary material, and uses potassium hydroxide / urea to dissolve the chitin, so as to prepare a composite film with good transparency, swelling degree, film uniformity and antibacterial performance.

[0013] Specifically, the dissolving of the chitin in S2 is specifically: freezing at -20 to -30℃ for 4 to 8 hours, then thawing at room temperature and mechanical stirring at 600 to 1000 rpm for 1 to 3 hours, and then repeating the freezing-thawing step for 1 to 3 times; the dissolving of the cotton linter pulp cellulose in S3 is specifically: freezing at -15 to -25℃ for 6 to 10 hours, then thawing at room temperature and mechanical stirring at 600 to 1000 rpm for 1 to 3 hours.

[0057] The above examples and comparative examples were respectively tested for the following properties:
[0058] Determination of the degree of deacetylation of chitin: Weigh 0.20 g of the sample, heat to boiling in distilled water and maintain for 1 h, then filter; centrifuge the precipitate of the washed sample, and dry it for use. Put it into a mechanical stirrer and stir for 1 h. Titrate a standard sodium hydroxide solution (0.1 mol / L) with an excess of HCl solution, record the amount of (0.1 mol / L) consumed at the end point of titration, and calculate the degree of deacetylation of the shrimp shell and chitin.
[0059] Determination of the thickness of the composite antibacterial film: Refer to GB / T1040.1-226 to test the tensile properties of the composite antibacterial film.
[0060] Test of the light transmittance of the composite antibacterial film: Use ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy for testing. Cut the composite antibacterial film into 25 mm x 10 mm film samples of the same size, set the ultraviolet spectrophotometer to 200 nm, 400 nm, 600 nm, and 800 nm wavelengths, take a dry quartz cuvette as the control group, place a film sample on one side of the clean quartz cuvette, and measure the absorbance of the sample and the blank group.
[0061] Microstructure analysis of composite antibacterial films: The surface morphology of the experimental sample films was observed using a Hitachi SU8240 top-of-the-line cold-field scanning electron microscope. Gold was sputtered onto the surface of chitosan / cotton linter pulp composite antibacterial films with different proportions, and the accelerating voltage was set to 10kV for testing.
[0062] Antibacterial performance test of composite antibacterial film: The antibacterial effect of chitosan / cotton linter pulp fiber composite antibacterial films with different ratios against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was tested using the agar diffusion method. Composite antibacterial films with different ratios were cut into 18mm diameter discs and sterilized with ultraviolet light for 2 hours. 1×10⁻⁶ samples were collected. 8 100 μL of a CFU / mL suspension of experimental bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) was evenly spread onto an agar plate. Then, sterilized membranes (18 mm in diameter) at different proportions were placed on the surface of the inoculated agar plates, which were then inverted and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. After incubation, the diameter of the inhibition zone (including the membrane diameter) was measured using a digital caliper.

[0065] Table 2. Test results of various properties of the composite antibacterial film in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1.
[0066]
[0067]
[0068] Table 1 shows the results of the chitin deacetylation degree test in Examples 1-7. The results show that the chitin deacetylation degree prepared in Examples 1-7 is ≥80%, which is beneficial for subsequent preparation of high-performance composite antibacterial films.
[0069] In Table 2, Examples 3 to 7 and Comparative Example 1 show the antibacterial effect of chitin / cotton pulp fiber composite antibacterial films with different proportions on E. coli and S. aureus. According to the analysis of the health industry standard WS / T 650-2019, the data clearly shows that the antibacterial effect is positively correlated with the content of chitin. With the increase of the proportion of chitin in the composite film, the diameters of the inhibition zones for E. coli and S. aureus continue to increase; on the contrary, when the proportion of cotton pulp cellulose increases, the inhibition zone decreases accordingly. This shows that cotton pulp fiber mainly serves as a base material, and its antibacterial property is weak, while chitin is the key active ingredient that plays an antibacterial function. The composite film shows broad-spectrum antibacterial ability to both gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and gram-positive bacteria (S. aureus), and with the increase of the proportion of chitin, the inhibition effect on S. aureus gradually increases to be slightly better than that on E. coli. In summary, increasing the proportion of chitin can effectively enhance the antibacterial performance of the composite film.
[0070] Figures 1 to 4 The transparency, moisture content, swelling degree and microstructure of the chitin / cotton pulp fiber composite antibacterial film with different proportions are shown respectively: Figure 1 It shows that with the increase of the content of chitin, the transparency of the antibacterial film generally increases first and then decreases. When the dry weight mass ratio of chitin to cotton pulp cellulose is 1:5, the transparency of the film is the best, which may be related to the difference in internal structure density and thickness of the film; Figure 2 It shows that with the increase of the content of chitin, the moisture content of the composite antibacterial film also increases, which may be due to the strong hygroscopicity of chitin, leading to the increase of the moisture content of the composite antibacterial film; Figure 3 It shows that with the increase of the content of chitin (0%-50%), the swelling degree of the composite antibacterial film gradually increases. Since chitin is prone to phase separation in the blending system, the increase of the swelling degree of the composite antibacterial film slows down when the content of chitin increases from 25% (i.e. the dry weight mass ratio of chitin to cotton pulp cellulose is 1:3); Figure 4 The surface of the cotton pulp fiber is very flat Figure 4 -a), after adding a certain amount of chitin (chitin content is 0-33%), the compatibility of cotton pulp fiber and chitin is good, and the surface is still flat Figure 4 -b), however, with the further increase of the content of chitin (chitin content is 33%-50%), the surface of the blended film is rough and uneven, and obvious phase separation structure Figure 4 -c) can be seen, indicating that the compatibility between the two decreases, which may be related to the strong hydrogen bonding between the molecular chains of chitin, leading to the aggregation of chitin itself.
[0071] In summary, the above results show that within the process parameters and ratio ranges claimed in the present application, composite films with good transparency, swelling and significant antibacterial properties can be prepared. With the increase of chitin ratio, the antibacterial property is enhanced, but the transparency is decreased, and at a higher ratio, the swelling degree may increase slowly due to phase separation. In practical applications, appropriate ratios can be selected according to needs.
