Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of research and development of recyclable high-barrier composite films, in particular to a multilayer recyclable ultrahigh-barrier composite film and a preparation process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The barrier property of a material refers to the ability of the material to prevent small molecule gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapor, fragrance and other organic solvent vapor from penetrating, and common barrier materials on the market mainly include polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyethylene naphthalate, nitrile-based resin, polyamide and the like. Among them, the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is widely used in the packaging field of food, medicine, chemicals and the like in the market due to excellent barrier property, convenient use and good mechanical property. However, a large number of hydroxyl groups exist in the traditional ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, and the barrier property is reduced under high humidity, which limits the actual use of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer in the packaging field.

[0003] At present, the methods for improving the barrier property of a material mainly include biaxial orientation, surface coating modification, multilayer composite modification, blending modification and nanocomposite modification. The patent with the publication number CN102408624A discloses a montmorillonite-EVOH-PET composite material and a preparation method thereof, and the barrier property of the material can be improved through the interaction of the modified montmorillonite, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and polyethylene terephthalate.

[0004] It is found through retrieval that the montmorillonite nanosheet has good barrier property to small molecules, and the barrier property of the composite material can be significantly improved when the montmorillonite nanosheet is compounded with a polymer. However, the structure in which the montmorillonite nanosheet layers are closely packed through electrostatic interaction will lead to poor interfacial compatibility and weak interfacial force between the montmorillonite nanosheet and the polymer, and therefore the montmorillonite nanosheet is often modified by intercalation to improve the comprehensive performance of the composite material.
