Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of polylactic acid non-woven fabric preparation, and particularly relates to a hot rolling preparation method of degradable polylactic acid non-woven fabric. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's growing focus on environmental protection and sustainable development, the research and application of degradable materials are particularly important. Among them, polylactic acid (PLA) as a biodegradable polymer material, because it can be made from renewable plant resources and has good biodegradability, has received widespread attention in the field of non-woven fabric preparation. The degradable polylactic acid non-woven fabric hot rolling preparation technology, in short, is a technology that polylactic acid fibers are consolidated into non-woven fabric through hot rolling process. This technology usually includes key steps such as fiber preparation, mixing, melt spinning and hot rolling. In this process, the uniformity of the fibers, the temperature and pressure control of the melt spinning, and the temperature and time of the hot rolling, etc. all have important influence on the performance of the final product. The advantages of this technology are outstanding: first, polylactic acid as a biodegradable material can be completely degraded by microorganisms in nature after use, finally generating carbon dioxide and water, which does not pollute the environment, which is very beneficial to environmental protection; second, polylactic acid non-woven fabric has good physical properties and mechanical strength, which can meet the needs of various application scenarios; finally, with the increasing preference of consumers for environmentally friendly products, polylactic acid non-woven fabric is expected to play an important role in the future market. Looking forward to the prospect of this technology, we can foresee that in the fields of packaging, medical health, agricultural mulch film, etc., degradable polylactic acid non-woven fabric will have a broad application space. Especially in the context of promoting environmental awareness worldwide, the demand for this material will continue to grow.

[0003] However, the existing degradable polylactic acid non-woven fabric preparation technology also has some defects, especially in terms of degradability: degradation rate problem: although polylactic acid has biodegradability, its degradation rate is affected by environmental conditions and material processing methods. In some cases, the degradation rate of polylactic acid may be slow, which may affect its effectiveness in practical applications. Microplastic problem during degradation: during the degradation process, polylactic acid non-woven fabric may produce microplastic particles. These tiny plastic particles may pose a potential threat to the ecological environment, especially they may enter the food chain and have unknown effects on living organisms. Cost problem: although the environmental advantages of polylactic acid are obvious, its production cost is relatively high, which limits the application of polylactic acid non-woven fabric in some fields.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, researchers are constantly exploring new processes and additives to improve the degradability of polylactic acid non-woven fabric, reduce costs, and promote its application in more fields. In general, although the degradable polylactic acid non-woven fabric hot rolling preparation technology still needs to be improved, its development potential in the field of environmentally friendly materials cannot be underestimated.

[0202] Performance test: compost degradation rate: the degradation rate of the sample was evaluated according to the method for determining the released carbon dioxide in the method for determining the released carbon dioxide in GB / T 19277.1-2011 "Determination of ultimate aerobic biodegradation of materials under controlled composting conditions using the method for determining released carbon dioxide". Breaking strength: according to GB / T 3923.1-1997 standard.

[0203] The compost used in the experimental evaluation was prepared according to the above standard GB / T 19277.1-2011, and the same mass of the sample of the examples and the comparative examples was accurately weighed and mixed with the same fixed mass of the compost as the sample group; the sample containing only the compost was blank control group 3. The carbon dioxide absorption bottle was titrated at intervals, and the carbon dioxide release amount was calculated to calculate the biodegradation rate. The specific calculation method is: the amount of carbon dioxide collected in the sample group absorption bottle is titrated, converted into the corresponding carbon content W1, subtracted from the carbon content W2 calculated by the carbon dioxide released by the blank group, and divided by the total carbon content W0 in the sample to obtain the biodegradation rate. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0204]

[0205] After detection, the non-woven fabrics obtained in all the examples and the comparative examples had a longitudinal breaking strength greater than 96.7-159.2 N / 5 cm, and a transverse breaking strength greater than 99.1-172.6 N / 5 cm, and the mechanical parameters met the application requirements. The compost degradation rate data is shown in Table 1.

[0207]

[0208] From the experimental data, it can be seen that the addition of nanocellulose in the mixing and melting step slightly improves the degradability of the non-woven fabric, and if the modifier chitosan and glutamic acid are added in the mixing and melting step, there is almost no contribution to the degradability. From the data, it can be seen that the two modifiers used to modify polylactic acid and the nanocellulose added in the mixing and melting step have a synergistic effect on the degradation performance of the polylactic acid non-woven fabric, and are indispensable and have a relatively fixed role, which shows that the intermolecular combination between polylactic acid and chitosan and glutamic acid in the modification step cannot be achieved by simple mixing or temperature, although the specific mechanism still needs further research, but the biodegradability of the polylactic acid non-woven fabric product provided by the present application has made it widely used in many aspects.
