Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of corrugated packaging materials, specifically relating to a water-resistant corrugated packaging material. Background Technology
[0002] Corrugated cardboard boxes are a very common corrugated packaging material. They are made from corrugated cardboard through die-cutting, creasing, stapling, or gluing. In daily life, corrugated cardboard boxes are widely used for packaging goods due to their portability and low cost. However, because the raw materials for making corrugated cardboard boxes / corrugated cardboard are mainly chemical components such as cellulose and hemicellulose, their water resistance is very poor. The large number of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups on the surface makes them extremely susceptible to moisture absorption, seriously affecting their normal packaging function. To solve this technical problem, many existing technologies use lamination to give corrugated cardboard boxes a better water resistance. It has water resistance and moisture resistance. For example, by introducing hydrophobic functional fillers into the film-forming material, a hydrophobic surface can be formed well, thereby improving water resistance. However, this technology still has drawbacks that limit its practical application. This is because, on the one hand, the water resistance after coating is still limited and does not reach the superhydrophobic property. On the other hand, even if the superhydrophobic property is achieved, the surface of corrugated cardboard boxes will experience a lot of friction and wear during actual use. At this time, the micro-nano rough structure formed by the hydrophobic functional filler is easily damaged, which affects the durability and makes it impossible to achieve a long-lasting superhydrophobic effect. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water-resistant corrugated packaging material. This invention first treats nano-sized silica with an amino silane coupling agent to modify it with amino groups, and then treats micron-sized silica with an epoxy silane coupling agent to modify it with epoxy groups. Through the interaction of amino and epoxy groups, nano-sized silica is composited onto the surface of the micron-sized silica, forming a micro / nano structure. Next, dopamine hydrochloride is used to self-polymerize and encapsulate it under aerobic and alkaline conditions, providing a secondary modification platform. Finally, a silaneoxy hydrophobic modifier is added, and through the interaction of silaneoxy and hydroxyl groups, the micro / nano structure acquires low surface energy, thereby preparing a modified filler. When mixed with other components, the resulting coating, when applied to the coating of corrugated boxes, not only imparts superhydrophobic properties to the surface of the corrugated box but also exhibits excellent durability.

[0029] A water-resistant corrugated packaging material prepared by the method described above.
[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0031] (1) In this invention, nano-sized silica is first treated with an amino silane coupling agent to modify it with amino groups, and micro-sized silica is treated with an epoxy silane coupling agent to modify it with epoxy groups. Then, through the action of amino and epoxy groups, nano-sized silica is composited on the surface of micro-sized silica to form a micro-nano structure. Next, dopamine hydrochloride is used to self-polymerize and encapsulate it under aerobic and alkaline conditions to provide a secondary modification platform. Finally, a silaneoxy hydrophobic modifier is added. Through the action of silaneoxy and hydroxyl groups, the micro-nano structure has low surface energy, thereby preparing a modified filler. When the coating obtained by mixing it with other components is applied to the coating of corrugated boxes, it not only endows the surface of the corrugated boxes with superhydrophobic properties, but also has excellent durability.
[0032] (2) This invention creatively combines nano-sized and micro-sized silica through chemical bonds to construct a very stable micro-nano structure. Then, dopamine hydrochloride is used to self-polymerize and encapsulate the micro-nano structure under aerobic and alkaline conditions. After encapsulation, a secondary modification platform can be provided. Polydopamine is a substance containing a large number of hydroxyl and amino groups. Its hydroxyl groups can react with the silane groups of the silane group hydrophobic modifier, thereby giving the micro-nano structure a low surface energy. Its amino groups can participate in the curing in the epoxy resin-amine system, thereby bonding the micro-nano structure to the epoxy resin in the form of chemical bonds. In actual use, it can effectively reduce the wear and damage of the micro-nano structure caused by external forces. On the other hand, it also transforms from organic phase to inorganic phase to organic phase to organic phase. The epoxy resin and the modified filler have good compatibility and strong dispersibility, which can better exert the wear resistance of silica itself, further reduce the wear and damage that may occur to the micro-nano structure, and thus ensure the durability and long-term effectiveness of the superhydrophobic properties.
[0033] (3) The corrugated packaging material provided by the present invention has superhydrophobic properties on its surface, excellent water resistance, and strong practicality. Detailed Implementation

The modified filler is prepared through the following steps: Step a: Add 5-7 parts by weight of nano-sized silica, 0.5-1 parts by weight of deionized water and 0.3-0.5 parts by weight of aminosilane coupling agent to 80-100 parts by weight of anhydrous ethanol, stir at 65-70℃ for 23-25 hours, filter, remove the filtrate, wash with anhydrous ethanol, and finally vacuum dry at 50-60℃ until constant weight to obtain aminated nano-sized silica; Step b: Add 5-7 parts by weight of micron-sized silica, 0.5-1 parts by weight of deionized water and 0.3-0.5 parts by weight of epoxy silane coupling agent to 80-100 parts by weight of anhydrous ethanol, stir at 65-70°C for 23-25 hours, filter, remove the filtrate, wash with anhydrous ethanol, and finally vacuum dry at 50-60°C until constant weight to obtain epoxy-oxidized micron-sized silica. Step c: Add 5-7 parts by weight of aminated nano-sized silica to 80-100 parts by weight of anhydrous ethanol, and stir at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to obtain dispersion a; add 10-12 parts by weight of epoxy-modified micron-sized silica to 140-150 parts by weight of anhydrous ethanol, and stir at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to obtain dispersion b; add dispersion a dropwise to dispersion b while stirring at 30-40℃, and continue stirring at a constant temperature for 2-3 hours after the addition is complete, filter, remove the filtrate, wash with anhydrous ethanol, and finally vacuum dry at 50-60℃ until constant weight to obtain composite micro-nano-sized silica; Step d: Add 3-5 parts by weight of composite micro / nano-sized silica and 5-6 parts by weight of dopamine hydrochloride to 100-120 parts by weight of Tris-HCl buffer solution, stir at 25-30°C for 12-14 hours in contact with air, filter, remove the filtrate, wash with deionized water, and finally vacuum dry at 50-60°C until constant weight to obtain organically coated micro / nano-sized silica. Step e: Add 5-7 parts by weight of organic-coated micro / nano-sized silica to 80-100 parts by weight of deionized water, stir at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to mix, then add 0.5-1 parts by weight of silaneoxy hydrophobic modifier dropwise while stirring at 70-80℃. After the addition is complete, continue stirring at a constant temperature for 10-12 hours, filter, remove the filtrate, wash with deionized water, and finally vacuum dry at 50-60℃ until constant weight is achieved, thus completing the preparation.
