Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of anti-counterfeiting materials technology, specifically to a dual anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Information security is a crucial consideration in our daily lives, significantly impacting society, the economy, and technology. Each major innovation in anti-counterfeiting technology represents a new step forward in ensuring the security of confidential information. Stimulated luminescent materials, due to their simple manufacturing process and high visibility, are receiving increasing attention and are considered the optimal technological choice for modern anti-counterfeiting and encryption.

[0003] In recent years, various luminescent materials based on light, heat, and electricity stimulation have been widely used in product anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. However, regrettably, a single luminescent color and a single stimulus response are easily duplicated by existing anti-counterfeiting materials, leading to reduced anti-counterfeiting performance and making products easier for counterfeiters to forge. Clearly, if the luminescent color and stimulus form of a material could be diversified in response to different external stimuli, the security of encrypted information would be greatly improved. Therefore, the creation of multi-layered anti-counterfeiting materials is considered a key method to solve this problem.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN115286788A discloses a polyolefin-based bio-based polyesteramide and its preparation method. The preparation method includes the following steps: dissolving a bio-based diester and an amino alcohol in a solvent, adding a catalyst under inert gas protection to obtain an amide diol monomer; placing the amide diol monomer and a bio-based diacid in a reaction apparatus and carrying out an esterification reaction under an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a prepolymer; adding a diol and a catalyst, carrying out an esterification reaction under an inert gas atmosphere; depressurizing to remove water, and then heating to obtain the polyolefin-based bio-based polyesteramide. The thermodynamic properties of the polyesteramide can be controlled by adjusting different amide diols and the molar ratio of alcohol to acid in the polymer. The prepared polyesteramide exhibits excellent performance, reaching the level of high-density polyethylene, and is expected to serve as a substitute for petroleum-based polyethylene. However, its degradation performance is poor, and its use as an anti-counterfeiting material is not disclosed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to improve the anti-counterfeiting performance and degradation performance of anti-counterfeiting materials.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] A method for preparing a dual anti-counterfeiting polyester amide composite material includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. The long afterglow powder was modified by using an aminosilane coupling agent as a modifier to obtain the modified long afterglow powder.

[0009] S2. Using amide diol and azelaic acid as raw materials, a primary reaction is carried out under inert gas and stirring conditions, followed by heating. After the reaction, the mixture is cooled to room temperature, polyetheramine and a catalyst are added, and then a secondary reaction is carried out under inert gas and stirring conditions. After the reaction, the mixture is cooled to obtain polyesteramide. The structural formula of the amide diol is:

[0010] S3. The modified long afterglow powder in S1 and the polyesteramide in S2 are ball-milled and mixed in a cryogenic ball mill, and then the ball-milled product is hot-pressed to obtain the dual anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide composite material.

[0011] Preferably, in S1, the aminosilane coupling agent is 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane; and the long afterglow powder is one or more of PLO long afterglow powder, PLP long afterglow powder, and REO-1 long afterglow powder.

[0012] Preferably, in S1, the ratio of the long afterglow powder to the aminosilane coupling agent is 1g:2ml.

[0013] Preferably, in S2, the polyetheramine is polyetheramine D-400; and the catalyst is sodium hypophosphite.

[0014] Preferably, in S2, the mass ratio of the amide diol, azelaic acid, and polyetheramine is 38.11:27.92:11.75; the mass ratio of the azelaic acid and the catalyst is 27.92:0.5; the temperature of the first reaction is 140°C and the time is 12 hours; the temperature of the second reaction is 230°C and the time is 3 hours.

[0015] Preferably, in S3, the mass ratio of the modified long afterglow powder to polyesteramide is 0.1-0.4:10.

[0016] Preferably, in step S3, the hot-pressed products prepared from various modified long afterglow powders are combined and stacked, and then heated to obtain the dual anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide composite material.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By combining and stacking various hot-pressed products prepared with different modified long afterglow powders, and then heating and laminating them, the resulting film product has editable color, providing a wider range of anti-counterfeiting color options for the film, which is a double anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide material.

[0018] Preferably, in S1, two or three long afterglow powders are modified with an aminosilane coupling agent to obtain two or three modified long afterglow powders; in S3, the two or three modified long afterglow powders obtained in S1 are ball-milled and mixed with the polyesteramide in S2 in a cryogenic ball mill, and then the ball-milled products are hot-pressed to obtain two or three different hot-pressed films. The two or three different hot-pressed films are combined and stacked, and then the combined and stacked sample is heated at 60°C for 2 hours under the condition of being pressed by a glass plate, and then cooled to obtain the double anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide composite material.

[0019] Preferably, S1 specifically includes the following steps: mixing long afterglow powder, ethanol, and water, stirring, then sonicating, adding an aminosilane coupling agent, sonicating and stirring again, then filtering, washing, and drying to obtain the modified long afterglow powder.

[0020] The present invention also proposes a dual anti-counterfeiting polyester amide composite material, which is prepared by the aforementioned method for preparing dual anti-counterfeiting polyester amide composite material.

[0021] The present invention also proposes the application of the aforementioned dual anti-counterfeiting polyester amide composite material in anti-counterfeiting packaging.

[0022] The advantages of this invention are:

[0023] (1) The material of the present invention achieves editable material color through color overlap, which solves the problem of single color and single anti-counterfeiting method of current luminescent material. At the same time, the stretch-induced crystallization of polymer gives it the ability to shrink thermally. Through polymer structural characteristics and color editing, the polymer achieves double anti-counterfeiting coding. Combining this property, it has potential application prospects in double anti-counterfeiting packaging film.

[0024] (2) The performance of the material of the present invention can be controlled by adjusting the composite ratio of long afterglow pigment and polymer;

[0025] (3) In this invention, long-afterglow pigments are modified and combined with bio-based polymers to achieve the reinforcement of polymers by long-afterglow inorganic polymers. At the same time, alternating polyesteramide blocks are introduced into the main chain of polyesteramide polymers to give the material excellent degradability. The polyesteramide anti-counterfeiting material prepared in this way has excellent degradability. Attached Figure Description

The ball-milled product is then heated at 200°C for 3 minutes and then pressurized for 3 minutes for hot pressing. Afterward, it is cooled to 60°C and removed to obtain the dual anti-counterfeiting polyesteramide composite material.

[0062] Comparative Example 1

[0063] Polybutylene terephthalate (Mn = 120000) was purchased from Maclean Reagents Co., Ltd.

[0064] In Example 4 of this invention, the polymerization scheme for polyesteramide employs a two-stage method. The first stage involves prepolymerization of the amide diol and diacid at 140°C. This is primarily because the diol undergoes self-polymerization into ether at high temperatures, leading to uneven feed ratios and reduced material performance. Therefore, the first stage of polymerization in this invention utilizes a low-temperature, long-duration polymerization method. The second stage involves adding polyetheramine after the first stage has cooled to room temperature. This is mainly because adding at high temperatures would cause product oxidation. Furthermore, after cooling to room temperature, the prepolymer from the first stage solidifies, allowing for accurate weighing of the added liquid polyetheramine in the second stage. Any excess can be directly extracted, preventing imbalances in the feed ratio.

[0065] The preparation of this anti-counterfeiting material consists of two parts. The first part involves blending modified long-afterglow powder with polyesteramide in a cryogenic ball mill. Compared to screw extrusion blending, ball mill blending offers advantages in terms of speed and simplicity. The reason for using cryogenic ball milling is that heat is generated during the ball milling process, causing the plastic to soften and become unbreakable. The second part involves hot pressing the blended powder into a film using a hot press. The modified long-afterglow powder is filled with primary amine groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with ester and amide bonds in the polymer, thereby enhancing the polymer's properties.

[0066] A physical image of the product from Example 4 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, it is a crystallization-induced whitening state. Figure 9 The presence of peaks for amide and ester bonds in the infrared spectrum, together with the above, proves the successful preparation of polyesteramide in Example 4.

[0067] The alternating arrangement of ester and amide bonds in the structure of polyesteramide elastomers endows the polymer with excellent degradability. Simultaneously, the introduction of side groups in the soft segments disrupts the original crystallinity of the polymer, resulting in a faster degradation rate. To better demonstrate the degradation rate of Example 4, Comparative Example 1 was selected as a control. The materials from Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in sterile PBS buffer (pH = 7.2) containing 1 wt% Novozymes 435 enzyme and heated in a water bath at 37°C using a shaker. The results are as follows... Figure 10 As shown, from Figure 10 It can be seen that the material in Example 4 exhibited a large number of porous structures after only two days of soaking, indicating severe degradation with a degradation rate reaching 80%. After an extended soaking time of eight days, it completely formed debris. Figure 11 As shown in the figure. However, the material in Comparative Example 1 showed gradual degradation with increasing soaking time. Even after 12 days of soaking, it retained its original morphology, with only a large number of gaps appearing. This indicates that the polyesteramide elastomer synthesized by this method has the ability to degrade rapidly.

[0068] pass Figure 1 The infrared spectrum shows that PLO, after the reaction, at 3500 cm⁻¹ -1 The characteristic peaks appearing at the point belong to primary amine groups, indicating that the primary amine groups were successfully attached to the long afterglow powder, demonstrating the successful preparation of Example 1.

[0069] In Example 7, the products of Example 1 and Example 4 were blended and then cryo-ball-milled. The mixture was then hot-pressed by heating at 200°C for 3 minutes followed by pressurization for 3 minutes, and subsequently cooled to 60°C to obtain a double anti-counterfeiting polymer film. Figure 2 As shown.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the uniaxial tensile properties of the products of Examples 4-8 were tested at a tensile speed of 50 mm / min at room temperature. Introducing the product of Example 1 into the product of Example 4 allows for the regulation of the mechanical properties of the polyesteramide polymer. The general trend is that the mechanical properties first increase and then decrease with increasing content of the product of Example 1. For a more intuitive description, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the maximum uniaxial fracture stress first increases and then decreases. This is because the low content of long-afterglow powder in the polymer is enhanced by the hydrogen bonding of the primary amine. When the content is too high, there are too many long-afterglow particles, which cannot interact with the polymer, thus leading to a decrease in mechanical properties.

[0071] The products from Examples 7, 9, and 10 were designated A, B, and C, respectively. They were freely combined and covered with a glass plate, then heated in a 60°C oven for 2 hours, where they bonded together through molecular chain movement to form a single unit. The unit was then placed in a dark room and irradiated with 365nm ultraviolet light, and photographs were taken before and after the lights were turned off. Figure 5 As shown, combining the products of Examples 7, 9, and 10 of the three colors yields 29 different colors. Meanwhile, Example 4 did not contain long-afterglow pigments, so it cannot be seen after the UV lamp is turned off. Among the different combinations in the figure, the material represented by the leftmost letter is closer to the UV lamp when irradiated with UV light.

[0072] The product of Example 7 was stretched, and a two-dimensional wide-angle test revealed crystallization after stretching. Figure 6 As shown, the top image represents the sample before stretching, and the bottom image represents the sample after stretching. Based on this, a heat shrinkage experiment was conducted. The stretched sample shrank after being heated at 60℃ for 10 seconds, indicating that the stretch-induced crystallization can be broken down by heating, thus imparting heat shrinkage properties to the material. Figure 7 ),in Figure 7 The middle right figure shows that even when pulled by a heavy object, it can still thermally shrink when heated.

[0073] Since the anti-counterfeiting material also has color editing and heat shrinking capabilities, we designed a dual anti-counterfeiting strip, such as... Figure 8 As shown, after stretching the material prepared in Example 9, stretched versions of Example 7 and / or Example 10 are attached to different positions on it to obtain a color-editable strip. After heating the strip, the strip shrinks. This design is expected to be applied to anti-counterfeiting packaging. In the figure, the upper strip was photographed under 365nm ultraviolet light, and the lower strip was photographed after the ultraviolet light was turned off.

[0074] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
