AI Technical Summary
Existing polypropylene nonwoven fabrics are difficult to degrade in the natural environment. Traditional degradation methods are energy-intensive, costly, or pose safety risks. Furthermore, in existing anaerobic microbial degradation methods, the interfacial bonding between hydrophilic polymers and hydrophobic PP is weak, affecting spinning processability and mechanical properties.
An anaerobic degradation functional composite filler is formed by using modified chitosan, activated carbon, nano-iron oxide, modified nano-silica, and hyperbranched polysiloxane. Through in-situ composite with hyperbranched polysiloxane, a multi-component synergistic degradation network is constructed. The modified components are uniformly dispersed in the PP matrix, forming chemical bonds and physical entanglements.
It achieves good stability and processing performance of nonwoven fabric during use, and degrades rapidly and efficiently in an anaerobic environment after disposal, with a degradation rate as high as 17.4-22.1%, meeting the requirements of sanitary grade nonwoven fabric, and has good environmental benefits and industrial application prospects.
