Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of terephthalic acid - adipic acid butanediol ester modification, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a modified cellulose composite material for poly(butylene adipate - co - terephthalate) (PBAT). Background Technique

[0002] The copolymer of poly(butylene adipate - co - terephthalate) (PBAT) is a promising biodegradable polymer, which conforms to the current concept of green development and has attracted great interest in the biodegradable material industry. It can be a good substitute for a series of non - biodegradable plastics such as high - density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), and can be used in the biodegradable and environmentally friendly applications of plastic bags, mulch films and general food packaging. PBAT has excellent physical properties compared with other materials, such as easy processability, high toughness and safe contact with food. However, PBAT also has some disadvantages, such as poor strength and high processing cost, which make its material properties not meet the requirements of food packaging. Therefore, by adding widely used fillers in the market (such as calcium carbonate, cellulose, etc.) to enhance the strength and modify the compatibility of poly(butylene adipate - co - terephthalate) (PBAT) materials, the composite PBAT materials can achieve high mechanical properties and heat resistance.

[0003] According to the currently poor mechanical properties of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), other resins or fillers are added to change the properties of the overall PBAT, thereby improving the mechanical strength of PBAT. Due to its advantages such as good biocompatibility, renewability, and biodegradability, cellulose is an effective reinforcing material that can be added to PBAT. However, because the repeating units in the cellulose molecule are simple and uniform, and its glucose units contain a large number of alcoholic hydroxyl groups, a large number of hydrogen bonds exist within and between cellulose molecules, making it insoluble in water and not easily soluble in organic solvents, which greatly limits the development and application of cellulose functional materials. In Patent CN 116987339A, a silane coupling agent is added to the bamboo fiber raw material for surface treatment, which can bridge the bamboo fiber and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and polyethylene (PE). However, the silane coupling agent has a strong alkalinity, high reactivity, and strict reaction conditions, and cannot effectively modify the bamboo fiber, which is somewhat limited. Patent CN 116874849 A mixes neutral filter residue with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution, and obtains straw cellulose through water bath, filtration, and washing; the straw cellulose, poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), polylactic acid (PLA), and epoxidized soybean oil are fully mixed evenly and sent into a parallel twin-screw extruder to obtain injection molding standard test specimens. However, the compatibility between straw cellulose and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is poor, and the process is complex and does not meet industrial large-scale production, and the mechanical properties of the products are not significantly improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the problem of poor compatibility between the filler and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), and to improve the mechanical and heat-resistant properties of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), the present invention provides a preparation method for a modified cellulose composite material for poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate).

[0005] The preparation operation steps of a modified cellulose composite material are as follows:

[0006] (1) Preparation of tannic acid solution

[0007] Dissolve 2.06 g of tannic acid (TA) in 25.32 mL of acetone (AC), and mix evenly to obtain a tannic acid solution;

[0008] (2) Preparation of modified cellulose

[0009] Slowly drop polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE) into the tannic acid solution at a mass ratio of 9:13, stir evenly to obtain a mixed solution; spray the mixed solution onto the surface of cellulose (Cellulose), keep the cellulose rotating at a low speed during spraying, and continue to rotate the cellulose at a low speed for mixed reaction after spraying, and dry it to obtain modified cellulose (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA);

[0010] (3) Preparation of the mixture

[0011] Mix polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and the modified cellulose at a high speed at a mass ratio of 5:1 to obtain a mixture;

[0012] (4) Melt extrusion

[0013] In a twin-screw extruder, melt-extrude the mixture to obtain a modified cellulose composite material;

[0014] The modified cellulose composite material is light yellow particles;

[0015] The tensile strength is 20.00 Mpa to 29.22 Mpa, the elongation at break is 600% to 660%, the flexural strength is 3.10 to 3.65 Mpa, and the contact angle of cellulose is 100.7° to 133.6°.

[0016] The further defined technical solutions are as follows:

[0017] In step (2), in a blender, under the condition of a rotation speed of 40 - 50 rpm, the low-speed mixing reaction time is 0.5 h.

[0018] In step (2), the spraying conditions: the spraying rate is 3 - 5 mL / s, and the rotation speed of the blender during spraying is 40 - 50 rpm; continue to mix the treated modified cellulose at a rotation speed of 85 - 200 rpm, and the reaction mixing time is 2 - 5 h.

[0019] In step (2), the drying conditions: temperature 80°C, time 4 h.

[0020] In step (3), the high-speed mixing conditions: rotation speed 400 - 500 rpm, time 1 - 2 h.

[0021] In step (4), the twin-screw extrusion conditions: the screw rotation speed is 50 - 250 rpm, the feeding speed is 3 - 6 Hz, and the extrusion temperature zones are set at 170, 175, 180, 180, 175, 170, 170, 165°C.

[0022] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are reflected in the following aspects:

[0023] (1) The present invention utilizes the chemical reaction between cellulose and polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE). As shown in (2) of Figure 3 , the hydroxyl groups on the surface of cellulose react with the epoxy groups of polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE), and the epoxy groups break to form ether bonds, thereby improving the hydrophilicity of cellulose. The hydroxyl groups on the surface of cellulose decrease, enhancing its application in non-polar or hydrophobic matrices. As shown in Table 2, the contact angle of Cellulose increases from 29.7° to 55.1° after treatment with PPGDGE, which changes the surface properties of the cellulose matrix, increases the contact angle on the surface of cellulose, and improves the compatibility.

[0024] (2) The present invention introduces tannic acid (TA) and reacts it with cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (Cellulose-PPGDGE). As shown in (3) of Figure 3 and (4) of Figure 3 , the hydroxyl groups of tannic acid (TA) react with the alcoholic hydroxyl groups of cellulose to form ether bonds. The hydroxyl groups (-O or H of -OH) of tannic acid (TA) form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups (-H or O of -OH) of cellulose and polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE). At the same time, the hydroxyl groups of tannic acid (TA) can form ester bonds with the carboxyl groups of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). A series of group reactions further improve the interfacial compatibility between the modified cellulose and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), and improve the mechanical properties and heat resistance of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT). As shown in Figure 2 , the contact angle of the cellulose increases from 29.7° to 133.6° after the modification treatment, which also improves the hydrophobicity of cellulose and the barrier between the filler. The modified cellulose greatly improves the mechanical properties compared with the unmodified cellulose. The tensile strength increases from 15.67 Mpa to 29.22 Mpa, effectively improving the mechanical properties of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate). Description of the Drawings

Among them, the standards for testing the flexural strength and flexural modulus are GB / T9341-2008 Plastics - Determination of flexural properties; the standards for testing the tensile strength and elongation at break are GB / T1040.1-2006 Plastics - Determination of tensile properties.

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] Infrared detection and analysis were respectively carried out on cellulose (Cellulose) and cellulose - polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether - tannic acid (Cellulose - PPGDGE - TA) samples, and the results are as Figure 1 shown. As Figure 1 can be seen, the peaks appearing at 3453 cm -1 and 2901 cm -1 in the spectrum respectively correspond to the stretching vibration peaks of -OH and C-H, and the peaks at 1028 cm -1 and 898 cm -1Correspond to the C-O-C stretching vibration peak of the pyranose ring and the β-glycosidic bond between glucose rings respectively. These are several main characteristic absorption peaks of cellulose. The stretching peak of C=O at 1742 cm -1 confirms that the product contains PPGDGE. The absence of an absorption peak at 843 cm -1 can be attributed to the reaction between the epoxy group of polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE) and the hydroxyl group of cellulose, which means that the polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PPGDGE) in the cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) scaffold is not free but has a chemical bond with cellulose, forming an ether bond. The hydroxyl peak in the cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) sample is redshifted from 3453 cm -1 to 3494 cm -1 , and their characteristic ether bond peak also redshifts from 1028 cm -1 to 1051 cm -1 , indicating the hydrogen bond interaction between cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) from the infrared spectrum.

[0084] Sample Contact Angle / ° Cellulose 29.7 Cellulose-PPGDGE 55.1

[0085] Water contact angle tests were carried out on the cellulose sample and the modified cellulose sample, that is, the water contact angles of the cellulose and cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) samples are shown in Figure 2 . As can be seen from Figure 2 , due to its inherent hydrophilicity, the initial cellulose has a water contact angle of 29.7° at 3 min. After modification, the hydrophilicity of cellulose is weakened and stronger hydrophobicity is imparted. The water contact angle of cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) at 3 min is 133.6°. After surface modification of cellulose, the special cross-linked network structure of cellulose-polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether-tannic acid (Cellulose-PPGDGE-TA) improves its hydrophobicity, making the water contact angle of the modified cellulose increase more and the hydrophobicity of the material more obvious.
