Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polylactic acid processing aids, in particular to a preparation method of polylactic acid mixed with phenylphosphonate. Background Art
[0002] Polylactic acid (PLA), a bio-based, fully biodegradable plastic, offers advantages such as abundant raw material resources, excellent material mechanics, and ease of processing and molding. Its production cost and overall performance are superior among fully biodegradable plastics. To reduce white pollution, conserve petroleum resources, and reduce carbon emissions, fully biodegradable plastics are gradually replacing non-biodegradable plastics in disposable items such as cutlery, shopping bags, courier bags, lunch boxes, and straws. In addition to these areas, PLA has the potential to replace non-biodegradable plastics, particularly petroleum-based plastics, in many other applications. However, PLA's slow crystallization rate results in long molding cycles for its products, and its low crystallinity leads to low heat deformation temperatures and poor impact resistance. These drawbacks significantly limit its application.
[0003] During the polylactic acid modification process, adding a small amount of nucleating agent can accelerate the crystallization rate of polylactic acid, which is an effective means to achieve crystallization of polylactic acid at high cooling rates. At present, the industrialized polylactic acid nucleating agents are divided into two categories: organic nucleating agents and inorganic nucleating agents. Organic nucleating agents for polylactic acid include hydrazides, amides, and low molecular weight aliphatic amines. The preparation process of organic nucleating agents is complex and the production cost is high. In particular, the synthesis process involves organic solvents, which have a significant negative impact on the environment. Commonly used inorganic nucleating agents for polylactic acid are generally nucleating agents used in traditional polyolefin materials, including talc, calcium carbonate, silica, and montmorillonite. This type of polylactic acid nucleating agent has a high dosage, is easy to agglomerate, has unsatisfactory effect, and has poor compatibility with polylactic acid, which ultimately affects the mechanical properties of the product.
[0004] As organic-inorganic hybrid substances, organic phosphonates have good compatibility with polylactic acid due to their unique chemical composition, molecular structure, and morphology, and have a significant nucleating effect on polylactic acid. Phenylphosphonates prepared in Chinese patents CN106220889 and CN104877172A have relatively simple preparation processes, minimal environmental pollution, and are effective nucleating agents in polylactic acid. However, these methods suffer from long preparation cycles, time-consuming drying of ultrafine powders, low production efficiency, and easy agglomeration during drying, which affects their nucleating effect in polylactic acid. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to prepare a polylactic acid nucleating agent of organic phosphonate and its supporting use method. The polylactic acid nucleating agent is an organic phosphonate and exists in the form of slurry. The synthesis of the nucleating agent has the advantages of simple process, short preparation cycle, low pollution, and no need for crushing; the supporting use method is an in-situ mixing method, which makes the nucleating agent easy to disperse in the polylactic acid resin and has significant nucleation effect. Specifically, it includes the following
[0006] S10, spraying the phenylphosphonate slurry onto the surface of the polylactic acid, setting the temperature to 70-90°C, stirring at a low speed for 0.1-1h, and completing the spraying;
[0007] S20, start high-speed stirring, set the temperature to 100-120°C, and mix and dry for 15-90 minutes;
[0008] S30, obtaining polylactic acid blended with phenylphosphonate;
[0009] The phenylphosphonate slurry is sprayed onto the surface of the polylactic acid through an atomizing nozzle.
[0010] The mixing equipment used is a high-speed mixer.
[0011] Specifically, in an ordinary reactor, at normal pressure and temperature below 100°C, the raw materials are stirred and reacted to prepare a nucleating agent slurry, which is then sprayed directly onto the polylactic acid material in a high-speed mixer (generally a mixture of polylactic acid as the main raw material) using an atomizing nozzle. Then, the nucleating agent slurry undergoes hydrothermal action in an environment of 100-120°C to complete the crystal stabilization of the nucleating agent itself, and at the same time, it is fully mixed with the polylactic acid and dried, and finally granulated by screw extrusion.
[0012] This production process, which integrates the preparation, drying, and mixing of polylactic acid nucleating agents, can significantly shorten the preparation cycle and save energy. It also solves a series of problems encountered in the preparation of organic nucleating agents, such as environmental pollution and high costs, equipment requirements for hydrothermal reactions, and long drying cycles, easy agglomeration, difficulty in subsequent crushing, and dust pollution caused by crushing of ultrafine inorganic powder nucleating agents.
[0013] Preferably, the phenylphosphonate slurry accounts for 0.3-1% of the total mass of the polylactic acid.
[0014] Preferably, the atomizing nozzle sprays onto the surface of the polylactic acid through an exhaust port.
[0015] Preferably, the low-speed stirring in S10 is at a stirring speed of 100-300 r / min.
[0016] Preferably, the low-speed stirring in S10 is at a stirring speed of 700-900 r / min.
[0017] Preferably, the preparation of the phenylphosphonate slurry comprises the following:
[0018] S11, adding a suspension or aqueous solution of one or more chloride salts to an aqueous solution of phenylphosphonic acid to obtain a chloride salt phenylphosphonic acid mixed solution;
[0019] S12, stirring the chloride phenylphosphonic acid mixture at a constant temperature to react;
[0020] S13, adjusting the pH value of the chloride phenylphosphonic acid mixed solution to 6-7.
[0021] Preferably, the chloride salt is CaCl2, MgCl2, ZnCl2, or NaCl.
[0022] Preferably, the mass ratio of the chloride salt to the phenylphosphonic acid aqueous solution is 0.5:1 to 1:5.
[0023] Preferably, the reaction conditions of S12 are: temperature 30-90° C., time 2-10 h, and stirring speed 100-300 r / min.
[0024] Preferably, the pH value of the chloride salt-phenylphosphonic acid mixture is adjusted by adjusting the dosage ratio of the chloride salt and the aqueous solution of the phenylphosphonic acid.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) The phenylphosphonate nucleating agents involved in the present invention include calcium phenylphosphonate, magnesium phenylphosphonate, zinc phenylphosphonate, and sodium phenylphosphonate. The raw materials are widely available and adding them to the matrix polylactic acid does not affect the heat resistance and degradation properties of the material. The nucleating agent effect is significant.
[0027] (2) The combined use of the hydrothermal method and the in-situ mixing method significantly shortens the synthesis time of the nucleating agent compared to other hydrothermal methods for preparing polylactic acid nucleating agents, saving energy. Generally, when preparing phenylphosphonate nucleating agents by the hydrothermal method, it is necessary to continuously stir at 100-150°C for 24-72 hours in a specific pressure-resistant reactor to obtain nucleating agent crystals with stable performance. In the present invention, the hydrothermal reaction occurs in a high-speed mixer: at 100-120°C, the water evaporates within 15-90 minutes, and the nucleating agent crystals themselves also reach a stable state. In addition, this combined method eliminates the powder dehydration-drying-particle agglomeration and subsequent refinement and crushing process and the corresponding equipment investment, significantly reducing production costs and saving energy. At the same time, it avoids the generation of a large amount of dust pollution during the centralized drying and crushing process of the nucleating agent powder, avoids the risk of dust explosion, and improves production safety.
[0028] (3) Compared with the traditional drying method, the in-situ mixing method of the present invention uses an atomizing nozzle to spray the nucleating agent slurry directly onto the substrate polylactic acid particles. The operation is simple. Under the stirring of the high-speed mixer, the polylactic acid particles have a large specific surface area. The nucleating agent slurry quickly forms a liquid layer with a thickness of less than 200 μm on the surface of the polylactic acid particles. Under the conditions of 100-120°C, the water in the thin layer evaporates and leaves the surface of the polylactic acid particles, leaving a thinner nucleating agent powder layer. Under the condition of rapid loss of water, not only will the nucleating agent coated on the surface of the polylactic acid particles not agglomerate, but the polylactic acid will not decompose and affect the mechanical properties of the material. The nucleating agent powder on the surface of the polylactic acid also plays a role in preventing the particles from softening and sticking under the environment of 100-120°C.

[0084] (1) Preparation of sodium phenylphosphonate slurry
[0085] Weigh 0.33 kg of NaCl and add it to 1.0 L of deionized water. Dissolve 0.90 kg of phenylphosphonic acid in 2 L of deionized water. Add the NaCl solution to the phenylphosphonic acid aqueous solution, heat to 60-65°C, and stir at 200 rpm for 5 hours to obtain a sodium phenylphosphonate slurry.
[0086] (2) Sodium phenylphosphonate slurry is mixed with polylactic acid in situ, and sodium phenylphosphonate accounts for 0.5% of the total mass of the formula

[0088] Example Characterization Test
[0089] The polylactic acid pellets uniformly mixed in the high-speed mixing dryer were pelletized by a twin-screw extruder. The extrusion temperature was set at 170-190°C and the extrusion screw speed was 250 rpm. The extruded material strips were cooled in a water trough and cut into pellets by a pelletizer. The polylactic acid pellets Examples 1-4 and the comparative example were dried in a hot air dehumidification dryer at 80°C for 5 hours and then used for subsequent testing.
[0090] Table 1 shows the melt index test results of the blank sample (unprocessed polylactic acid), the comparative example and Example 2. The test results show that, compared with the blank sample, the melt index of the polylactic acid modified material of the comparative example and Example 2 increases slightly, which is due to the degradation caused by the heat resistance of polylactic acid processing. The melt index of Example 2 and the comparative example is basically the same, indicating that the in-situ mixing method of directly spraying the slurry on the material and using a high-speed mixer to dry the material does not cause serious degradation of the material due to the high water content in the slurry. The main reason is that the slurry is sprayed on the surface of the material to form a very thin liquid film under the stirring action of the high-speed mixer. When the temperature is at or above the boiling point of water, the water in the slurry film will evaporate rapidly and detach from the surface of the polylactic acid particles, and the polylactic acid cannot be hydrolyzed. Therefore, the in-situ mixing method will not affect the performance of the polylactic acid.
[0091] Table 1 Example 1, comparative example and polylactic acid melt index test results.
[0092]
[0093] The polylactic acid pellets of Examples 1 to 10 and the comparative example were subjected to DSC testing, and the test steps and parameters were as follows:
[0094] The non-isothermal crystallization properties of polylactic acid composites were tested using a differential scanning calorimeter: under a nitrogen atmosphere, the sample was heated to 200°C at a constant rate of 20°C / min and kept warm for 5 minutes to eliminate the thermal history; then the temperature was cooled from 200°C to 30°C at a constant rate of 20°C / min; and then the temperature was heated from 30°C to 200°C at a constant rate of 20°C / min.
[0095] Figure 1 The non-isothermal DSC cooling curves of the polylactic acid blank sample, comparative example, example 2, example 7, example 8, example 9 and example 10 polylactic acid modified materials with different phenylphosphonates added are given. Table 2 shows the non-isothermal crystallization test results of polylactic acid, comparative example and examples 1 to 10 polylactic acid modified materials with different phenylphosphonates added. The larger the crystallization peak temperature, melting enthalpy and crystallinity, the faster the sample crystallization rate, the higher the crystallinity, and the better the effect of the added nucleating agent. From the DSC test results, it was found that under the test conditions, polylactic acid basically had no crystallization peak and low crystallinity, and the crystallization ability of polylactic acid was poor. However, after adding the phenylphosphonate nucleating agent prepared by the present invention, the crystallization rate of polylactic acid was significantly improved. The test results of the comparative example and example 2 show that the combined use of the hydrothermal method and the in-situ mixing method proposed in the present invention is practical.
