Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of polylactic acid fibers, and particularly relates to a modified polylactic acid fiber composition and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Overexploitation of fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas not only causes energy depletion, but also causes great pollution to the environment. Therefore, it has become a mainstream trend in today's society that a completely biodegradable material derived from biomass energy gradually replaces traditional materials. Both polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoate have good biodegradability, biocompatibility and renewability, and are popular green and environmentally friendly materials at present.

[0003] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new material with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Its production process is to prepare lactic acid from starch extracted from plant resources as raw material, and then to synthesize polylactic acid by chemical method. Polylactic acid can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water through the decomposition of microorganisms in the composting process, and can be prepared into films, sheets, fibers and the like. With the progress of science and technology, the production process of polylactic acid is continuously improved, and the production cost is continuously reduced. In recent years, polylactic acid materials are widely used in medical, packaging, textile and other fields. However, polylactic acid fibers have problems of poor high temperature resistance, poor flexibility and low strength.

[0004] Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHAs) is a natural high molecular biological material synthesized by microbial fermentation. Most monomers of this kind of biodegradable plastic are 3-hydroxy fatty acids with a chain length of 3-14 carbon atoms, and the side chain R is a highly variable saturated or unsaturated, straight-chain or branched-chain, aliphatic or aromatic group. Due to the diversity of the side chain structure, this kind of material has more than 100 polymer structures. Polyhydroxyalkanoate is a material that can be completely biodegraded in the marine environment, and has good biocompatibility, thermoplastic processability and biodegradability. However, polyhydroxyalkanoate has the disadvantages of easy degradation, slow crystallization speed, poor mechanical strength and low processing efficiency in the process of thermoplastic processing to prepare various shaped bodies, which seriously limits the popularization and application of polyhydroxyalkanoate materials.

[0005] At present, there are more reports on the preparation of PLA / PHAs fibers. CN118272962A discloses a composition for preparing modified bio-based polymer fibers and a modified bio-based polymer fiber and a preparation method thereof. The composition comprises biodegradable plastic and lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide, wherein the content of the lithium bis-trifluoromethanesulfonimide is 0.1-5 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable plastic. The modified bio-based polymer fiber has good dyeing properties. CN115305600A discloses a modified polylactic acid fiber and a preparation method thereof. The prepared fiber sample comprises A component and B component: the A component comprises polyhydroxyalkanoate, adipic acid butanediol ester and terephthalic acid butanediol ester copolymer and polybutylene succinate; the B component comprises polylactic acid; and a blended fiber with good dyeing performance is obtained by melt spinning. CN105220264A discloses a modified polylactic acid fiber and a preparation method thereof. The mass percentage composition of the fiber is: polylactic acid 70-98%, resin 1-15% and modifier 1-15%. The breaking strength of the fiber prepared according to the mass percentage is greater than or equal to 1.5 cN / dtex. CN102146597B discloses a degradable fiber containing PHBV and a preparation method thereof. The degradable fiber prepared according to the application is a binary mixture of PHBV and polylactic acid, and the mass fraction is 100 parts of degradable fiber containing 1-89 parts of PHBV and 11-89 parts of binary mixture containing polylactic acid. The mechanical strength of the filament fiber provided by the application can reach 2.0 cN / dtex.

[0006] Obviously, people have realized that it is of great practical significance to develop PLA / PHAs fibers. However, although the fiber samples prepared by the prior art realize the co-use of PLA and PHA materials, the fiber performance is still low, and high-performance PLA / PHAs fiber samples with high strength, high heat resistance and high flexibility cannot be obtained, which seriously limits the practical application of PLA / PHAs fiber materials.

[0083] According to the application, the weight average molecular weight of the PHA is 380-780 thousand, and the use of the PHA with high weight average molecular weight defined in the application can further improve the problem of low melt strength of the PHA, improve the mechanical strength of the blended fiber, impart higher crystallization ability, and further reduce the modulus and improve the fiber softness.

[0084] According to the application, the content of the norbornene dicarboxylic acid complex is 0.1-2.8 parts by weight, preferably 0.2-2 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.5-1.0 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable plastic.

[0086] According to the application, one or more of the anti-hydrolysis agent, plasticizer and chain extender can be further included in the composition, so as to further improve the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the high-strength, high-flexibility and heat-resistant polylactic acid fiber prepared from the composition.

[0087] According to the present application, the content of the anti-hydrolysis agent is 0.1-2 parts by weight, preferably 0.3-1.5 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable plastic. The content of the chain extender is 0.1-3 parts by weight, preferably 0.5-2 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the biodegradable plastic.

[0088] According to the present application, the anti-hydrolysis agent is mainly used to solve the problem of moisture absorption and easy degradation of polylactic acid, and to improve the hydrolysis resistance of the polymer fiber. The anti-hydrolysis agent used in the present application can be the anti-hydrolysis agent commonly used in the art for preparing polymer fibers, but preferably the anti-hydrolysis agent is selected from at least one of polycarbodiimide, carbodiimide and oxazoline.

[0089] According to the present application, the chain extender is mainly used to improve the interfacial compatibility of the polymer fiber, thereby ensuring the preparation of a fiber sample with good performance. Since there is a certain difference in the solubility parameter of polyhydroxyalkanoate and polylactic acid, direct blending of the two components can cause phase separation of the prepared composition or fiber sample, resulting in poor performance of the prepared fiber sample, and even continuous production is not possible. Therefore, a chain extender is usually added during fiber preparation. The chain extender is a low molecular weight multi-functional alcohol or amine compound containing hydroxyl or amino groups. In some embodiments of the present application, the preferred chain extender is ADR4468.

[0090] According to the present application, preferably, the composition further comprises a plasticizer, which is mainly used to reduce the processing temperature, broaden the temperature range, and solve the problem of easy decomposition of PHA under high temperature conditions.
