Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of papermaking process, more particularly, to a reflection-reducing eye-protecting functional paper and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to strengthen the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, and promote the vision health of children and adolescents, the Office of the Ministry of Education and other 15 departments jointly issued the "Children and Adolescents Myopia Prevention and Control Bright Action Work Plan (2021-2025)", which specifically proposes that in order to improve the visual environment of children and adolescents, combined with the specific requirements of "Health Requirements for Myopia Prevention and Control of Children and Adolescents Learning Supplies", to ensure that children and adolescents use textbooks, teaching materials, learning magazines, schoolwork books, test papers, learning newspapers, and preschool children's learning materials, and encourage the purchase and use of certified anti-myopia eye protection products. It is worth noting that among the above eye protection paper products related to children and adolescents, textbooks and teaching materials have attracted the attention of parents and publishers due to their characteristics of repeated reading and long-term use.

[0003] Before developing anti-myopia eye protection products, it is necessary to sort out and summarize the scientific indicators of eye protection technology from the principle of eye injury. Overall, visible blue-violet light and invisible ultraviolet light have higher energy and greater damage to the eyes. First, visible short-wave blue-violet light can penetrate the lens of the human eyeball and act on the retina, causing the retina to produce free radicals, leading to the death of retinal pigment epithelial cells, causing light-sensitive cells to lack nutrients and causing vision damage, producing macular changes, squeezing and shrinking the lens, and causing myopia. At the same time, the degree of damage of blue-violet light to the eyes varies with age, and relevant studies have shown that blue-violet light has the greatest damage to the eyes of children and adolescents. Second, ultraviolet light directly acts on the cornea and lens of the eye, and the cornea and lens absorb most of the ultraviolet light, increasing the curvature of the cornea; at the same time, the lens of the eye ages faster, and the density of the liquid in the lens gradually increases, and after the density increases, the refractive index of the lens increases (the lens is essentially a convex lens), causing the focusing ability to increase, and the degree of myopia of the eye will also increase. Therefore, scientifically meaningful eye protection technology and paper products should mainly focus on the optical regulation technology route related to harmful blue-violet light and ultraviolet light.

[0004] Children and adolescents in the actual life learning, there are various light source environment, in addition to the help of different types of light to assist reading, in most cases in the conventional daylight (natural light) environment reading using teaching materials, and the content of ultraviolet light in the sunlight is about 6%. Therefore, the paper eye protection technology should work in various light source environment, not just hope to improve the light source environment, should start from the optical performance of the paper itself, effectively reduce the harmful short wave blue-violet light and ultraviolet light (mainly UVA, wavelength range 320~400nm) on the surface of paper products reflectivity, so that the harmful light reflected into the human eye retina is reduced, at the same time without affecting the overall reading experience, ultimately realize the scientific sense of myopia prevention and eye protection effect.

[0005] However, the current market myopia prevention and eye protection technology and paper products are mainly based on non-fluorescent and color adjusting technology, that is, without adding fluorescent whitening agent, by using dye (mainly yellow dye), simply adjust the optical performance of paper (only focus on D65 brightness) to the range required in the national standard "Hygienic requirements for myopia prevention and control of learning supplies for children and adolescents" (GB 40070-2021), while meeting the basic requirements of quantitative, fluorescent brightness, smoothness, etc., there is no specific prevention measures for harmful blue-violet light and even ultraviolet light which can cause substantial damage to the eyes, therefore, from the perspective of eye protection science and technology, none of them belong to the strict sense of eye protection functional paper products.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a kind of anti-reflective eye protection functional paper product for harmful blue-violet light and ultraviolet light, to reduce the harmful reflection of the two light zones to the human eye during use, so as to effectively prevent myopia and play the effect of eye protection.

Then, 300kg / t paper of calcium carbonate filler was added in the ratio of light calcium:heavy calcium = 2:1 (mass ratio), and other wet-end chemicals were added, the specific addition of wet-end chemicals was as follows: the amount of cationic starch was 15kg / t paper, the amount of cationic polyacrylamide as retention aid was 0.6kg / t paper, the amount of bentonite was 4.0kg / t paper, the amount of sizing agent AKD (fast-acting alkyl alkenyl ketone dimer emulsion) was 16kg / t paper, the amount of organic particles was 0.4kg / t paper, the amount of fixing agent was 0.4kg / t paper, the amount of yellow dye was 0.08kg / t paper; the mixed pulp was pumped into a four-stage conical cleaner for purification and deslagging, and then into a deaeration tank for deaeration treatment, and then into a pressure screen for screening treatment, and then into a headbox for web forming, the web flow was adjusted to control the basis weight of the paper sheet to be 80g / m 2 ; after the wet paper sheet left the headbox, it entered the press section for five-roll three-press-zone compound pressing, and then entered the front drying section after being pressed to a dryness ≥39%; the paper sheet was dried in the drying cylinder with the surface temperature controlled at 105-130℃, until the dryness of the paper sheet was ≥92%; the paper sheet entered the in-machine coating machine for in-machine coating treatment: 10wt% coating starch diluted with water was used as the aqueous dispersion system, and 20 parts by weight of nano cerium oxide (CeO2), 30 parts by weight of rod-shaped nano zinc oxide (ZnO), 35 parts by weight of inorganic nano blue light absorber A1, 15 parts by weight of nano aluminum oxide (Al2O3), 1 part by weight of food-grade plant carbon black dispersion liquid, 4 parts by weight of transparent plastic pigment B dispersion liquid, 5 parts by weight of aqueous zinc stearate dispersion liquid, 30 parts by weight of butylphenyl latex, 10 parts by weight of color fixing agent, 0.8 parts by weight of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and 1.5 parts by weight of dispersant were added; the coating amount was 3-4g / m 2 ; the coating pressure was controlled as follows: press zone pressure: 20kN / m on the driving side and 20kN / m on the operating side; metering rod pressurization pressure: 1bar on the upper roll and 1bar on the lower roll; then the wet paper sheet treated by coating was subjected to post-drying in the surface sizing machine, the drying cylinder temperature was controlled at 105-130℃, and the dryness of the paper sheet after the post-drying section was ≥93.5%; the paper sheet entering from the post-drying section entered the calendering section for calendering treatment, the calendering temperature was controlled at 50-60℃, the first press pressure was 880KN / m, and the second press pressure was 900KN / m; after the calendering, the paper sheet was wound up, and a reduced-reflection eye protection functional paper with good surface smoothness and printing performance was obtained.

[0078] Figure 1The reflectivity values at different typical wavelengths are shown in Table 2, and the reflectivity curves of the eye-protecting functional paper of Example 1 and the ordinary offset paper of Comparative Example 1 in the full wave band of 200-700 nm ultraviolet-visible light are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Compared with the ordinary offset paper without coating treatment, the eye-protecting functional paper of Example 1 has a significantly reduced reflectivity of harmful light rays in the ultraviolet light region (mainly UVA, wavelength range of 315-400 nm) and the harmful blue-violet light region (mainly 400-480 nm), while the reflectivity of light rays in the wavelength range of 500-700 nm, which is comfortable for human eyes to read, is basically unchanged. Therefore, the anti-reflective eye-protecting paper provided by the present application can protect the eyes and prevent myopia while ensuring the comfort of reading.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] To better illustrate the effect of the anti-reflective coating material on the eye-protecting functional paper, in Example 2, all the processes before in-machine coating are kept consistent, so they are not repeated here. The difference lies in that the formula of the anti-reflective coating material used to produce the eye-protecting functional paper is different. In the in-machine coating stage, 10 wt% of the coating starch is used as the water-based dispersion system, 30 parts by weight of nano cerium oxide (CeO2), 20 parts by weight of rod-shaped nano zinc oxide (ZnO), 30 parts by weight of inorganic nano blue light absorber A2, 20 parts by weight of nano aluminum oxide (Al2O3), 1 part by weight of food-grade plant carbon black dispersion liquid, 4 parts by weight of transparent plastic pigment B dispersion liquid, 5 parts by weight of water-based zinc stearate, 30 parts by weight of acrylic latex, 10 parts by weight of color fixing agent, 0.8 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and 1.5 parts by weight of dispersant are added. The coating amount is 3-4 g / m 2 ; the coating pressure is controlled as follows: the nip pressure is 20 kN / m on the driving side and 20 kN / m on the operating side; the metering rod pressure is 1 bar on the upper roll and 1 bar on the lower roll; then the coated paper is sent to the surface sizing machine, and the wet paper sheet is further dried, with the drying cylinder temperature controlled at 105-130 ℃, and the paper sheet dryness after drying is ≥93.5%; the paper sheet entering from the drying section is sent to the calendering area for calendering treatment, with the calendering temperature controlled at 50-60 ℃, the first pressure being 880 KN / m, and the second pressure being 900 KN / m; after calendering, the paper sheet is wound up, and the anti-reflective eye-protecting functional paper with good surface smoothness and printing performance is obtained.

[0081] Figure 2 The reflectivity values at different typical wavelengths are shown in Table 2, and the reflectivity curves of the eye-protecting functional paper of Example 2 and the ordinary offset paper of Comparative Example 1 in the full wave band of 200-700 nm ultraviolet-visible light are shown in Figure 1. Figure 2The results show that, compared with the ordinary offset paper without coating treatment, the eye protection functional paper in the embodiment 2 of the present application has a significantly reduced reflectivity of the harmful light rays in the ultraviolet light region (mainly UVA, wavelength range of 315-400 nm) and the harmful blue-violet light region (mainly 400-480 nm), while the reflectivity of the light rays in the wavelength range of 500-700 nm which is comfortable for human eyes to read is basically unchanged; therefore, the anti-reflective eye protection paper provided by the present application can protect eyes and prevent myopia while ensuring the reading comfort.

[0082] Comparative example 1

[0083] First, three kinds of pulp, i.e. bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP, beating degree of 300ml), hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP, beating degree of 325ml) and poplar chemi-mechanical pulp (APMP, beating degree of 150ml) are mixed in a ratio of 30wt%:30wt%:40wt%. Then, 300kg / t paper of calcium carbonate filler is added in a ratio of light calcium:heavy calcium=2:1 (mass ratio), and other wet-end chemicals are added, specifically: 15kg / t paper of cationic starch, 0.6kg / t paper of cationic polyacrylamide as retention aid, 4.0kg / t paper of bentonite, 16kg / t paper of AKD (fast-acting alkyl alkenyl ketone dimer emulsion) as sizing agent, 0.4kg / t paper of organic particles, 0.4kg / t paper of fixing agent, and 0.08kg / t paper of yellow dye. The mixed pulp is pumped into a first-stage four-section conical cleaner for purification and deslagging, then into a deaeration tank for deaeration, and then into a pressure screen for screening, and then into a headbox for web forming, with the web forming flow being adjusted to control the basis weight of the paper sheet to be 80g / m 2 ; after the wet paper sheet leaves the headbox, it enters a five-roll three-pressing-zone compound press for pressing, and then enters a front drying section; the surface temperature of the drying cylinder is controlled to be 105-130℃ for drying the paper sheet, until the dryness of the paper sheet is ≥92%; then the paper sheet is dried in a back drying section with the drying cylinder temperature being controlled to be 105-130℃, and the dryness of the paper sheet after leaving the back drying section is ≥93.5%; the paper sheet entering from the back drying section enters a calendering section for calendering, with the calendering temperature being controlled to be 50-60℃, and the first pressure being 880KN / m and the second pressure being 900KN / m; after calendering, the paper sheet is wound up, and thus the ordinary offset paper with the same structure and manufacturing process as the eye protection functional paper in the embodiment 1 is obtained.

[0084] Performance test:

[0085] The conventional indexes of the eye protection functional paper, such as basis weight, D65 brightness, D65 fluorescent brightness, opacity, smoothness, etc. are tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0086] Table 1: Conventional performance data

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] More importantly, in terms of optical reflection performance for specific wavelength light, the eye protection functional paper and its base paper samples were measured for diffuse reflectance in the wavelength range of 200-700 nm (test wavelength interval, i.e., 1 nm) using a Shimadzu UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-2600i) in an integrating sphere mode. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0090] Table 2 Reflectance data

[0091] Indicator / different paper types Example 1 Example 2 Comparative Example 1 (coated base paper) Diffuse reflectance at 315 nm (%) 13.082 13.556 23.149 Diffuse reflectance at 400 nm (%) 61.901 62.187 68.666 Diffuse reflectance at 420 nm (%) 71.213 70.945 75.452 Diffuse reflectance at 600 nm (%) 82.239 80.818 82.201

[0092] As can be seen from Table 2, the reflection values of the anti-reflective eye protection functional paper produced in Examples 1-2 of the present application for harmful blue-violet light (wavelength generally 400-480 nm) and ultraviolet light (mainly UVA, i.e., low-frequency long-wave ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 315-400 nm) are greatly reduced compared to the conventional offset paper (Comparative Example 1, coated base paper). Specifically, at a typical wavelength of 315 nm in the ultraviolet light region, the reflection value is reduced by about 10% compared to the coated base paper in Comparative Example 1; at 400 nm, the reflection value is reduced by about 6-7%; at a typical wavelength of 420 nm in the harmful blue-violet light region, the reflection value is reduced by 4-5% compared to the coated base paper in Comparative Example 1; however, the eye protection paper of the present application has a visible light wavelength range of 500-700 nm that is more comfortable for the human eye to read (for example, the reflection value at 600 nm, and the complete full-wavelength reflectance curve are shown in Figure 2). Figures 1-2 wherein, Figure 1 is a comparison chart of the complete diffuse reflectance curves of Example 1 of the present application and the coated base paper (i.e., Comparative Example 1, ordinary offset paper) in the range of 200-700 nm; Figure 2 is a comparison chart of the complete diffuse reflectance curves of Example 2 of the present application and the coated base paper (i.e., Comparative Example 1, ordinary offset paper) in the range of 200-700 nm;

[0093] In summary, in order to better demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti-reflective eye protection functional paper of the present application in reducing the diffuse reflectance of harmful blue-violet light (400-480 nm) and ultraviolet light (mainly 315-400 nm), as shown in Figure 2, the eye protection functional paper produced in Examples 1-2 of the present application has a diffuse reflectance in the harmful blue-violet light region (400-480 nm) and ultraviolet light region (315-400 nm) that is significantly lower than that of the coated base paper (Comparative Example 1, ordinary offset paper), and the reflectance in the visible light region (500-700 nm) is basically unchanged (fluctuation less than 1%), thus the eye protection functional paper produced in the present application completely meets the reading habits of the human eye while reducing the reflectance of harmful blue-violet light and ultraviolet light, thereby ensuring the reading experience of the reader and the customer. Figures 1-2As shown, this invention used a Shimadzu UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-2600i) in integrating sphere mode to measure the diffuse reflectance of ordinary offset paper (Comparative Example 1) in the 200–700 nm wavelength range (the test wavelength interval is 1 nm for precise reading). First, the comparison of conventional performance in Table 1 shows that Examples 1–2 and Comparative Example 1 have no significant differences in conventional performance such as basis weight, D65 brightness, D65 fluorescence brightness, opacity, and smoothness. Second, based on the reflectance at specific wavelengths in Table 2… Figures 1-2 As can be seen from the full-wavelength reflectance curves, compared with uncoated ordinary offset paper (Comparative Example 1), the eye-protecting functional paper provided in Examples 1 and 2 of this invention significantly reduces the reflectance of harmful light rays in the ultraviolet region (primarily UVA, wavelength range of 315–400 nm) and the harmful blue-violet region (mainly 400–480 nm), while the reflectance of light in the comfortable reading wavelength range of 500–700 nm remains essentially unchanged. Therefore, the eye-protecting functional paper produced by this invention not only significantly reduces harmful light wavelengths to achieve myopia prevention and eye protection effects, but also ensures the comfort of the human eye in the visible light reading area.
