Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer material analysis, and in particular relates to a method for evaluating the anti-degradation performance of plastics, and also relates to a system, equipment and medium thereof adopting the method. Background Art

[0002] The invention and use of plastics have greatly facilitated people's lives, but at the same time have also caused serious environmental pollution. Biodegradable polymer materials represented by polylactic acid and polybutylene adipate terephthalate are committed to solving the problem of plastic / microplastic pollution. In addition, in the engineering field, high-performance polymer materials represented by polyamide are also increasingly widely used. However, most of the above materials are hydrolyzable, that is, they meet the necessary conditions for hydrolysis. For example, the ester bond (-COO-) in polyester materials and the amide bond (-CO-NH-) in polyamide materials can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and catalysts, resulting in a significant decrease in the molecular weight of the polymer and a rapid deterioration of the material properties. Therefore, scientifically and reliably characterizing and evaluating the hydrolysis resistance or hydrolysis resistance of plastics is an important means to ensure the large-scale promotion and application of such plastics, and is of great significance.

[0003] At present, some characterization and analysis techniques have been developed to evaluate properties related to plastic degradation. For example, visual observation, weight loss weighing, mechanical property evaluation, molecular weight evaluation, melt index evaluation, etc. can reflect the degree of degradation of the tested plastic at a certain moment to a certain extent, but each has its own defects. For example, the visual observation method requires a high time cost to make the sample achieve visible degradation, and the results are somewhat subjective; the weight loss weighing method cannot measure short-term degradation fluctuations and cannot reflect the impact of rapid changes in process parameters on the degradation rate of plastics; the mechanical property evaluation method cannot be used to test plastics that are broken during the degradation process; the molecular weight evaluation method requires the use of advanced chromatographic instruments to separate and characterize polymer chains of different molecular weights during the degradation process, which places high demands on testing instruments and testers; the melt index evaluation method measures the comprehensive properties of a mixture of degraded and undegraded polymers. In particular, the effect of a small amount of degraded polymers on the overall melt index in the early stages of degradation may be lower than the accidental error of the method, and accurate results cannot be obtained. As is known in the art, these prior art testing and evaluation methods are often destructive to the samples being tested. Consequently, they require numerous parallel sample tests to determine temporal trends in relevant properties. These methods place high demands on the samples, personnel, equipment, and environment used for testing, and exhibit poor test repeatability. Furthermore, these methods are generally insensitive to initial or minor degradation of plastics, and are unable to accurately and accurately reflect the degradation resistance (e.g., hydrolysis resistance) of the tested plastic.

[0004] Therefore, there is still a need to develop characterization and analytical methods for evaluating the degradation properties of plastics that can achieve a simple test and analysis process without relying on a large number of parallel sample tests. More ideally, the method should be able to sensitively and accurately reflect the hydrolysis resistance or hydrolysis resistance of plastics.

[0005] The present inventors unexpectedly discovered that by analyzing and characterizing the results of aerobic biodegradation tests of plastics known in the art under controlled composting conditions, the critical transition time point (i.e., critical point) in the early, middle, or initial stages of the test, which transitions from a chemical degradation process involving no microorganisms (i.e., the hysteresis stage) to a biochemical process involving microorganisms (i.e., the biodegradation stage), can be obtained. The numerical value of this critical point accurately reflects the length of time or speed required for the plastic to degrade to a molecular weight level that can be digested and absorbed by microorganisms under aerobic controlled composting conditions, thereby addressing the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and further serving as an indicator parameter for evaluating the hydrolysis resistance or hydrolysis resistance of plastics.

[0075] The present invention is described in more detail in the following paragraphs. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each aspect of description may be combined with any other one or more aspects. In particular, any feature indicated as preferred may be combined with any other one or more features indicated as preferred.

[0076] The recitation of numerical endpoints includes all numbers and fractions within the corresponding range, as well as the recited endpoints. It should be noted that in specifying any range of numerical values, any particular upper value can be associated with any particular lower value.

[0077] All references cited in this specification are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0078] In the context of the present invention, unless otherwise defined, all terms used in the present invention, including technical and scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0079] As used herein, the terms "comprising" and "consisting of" are synonymous with "including" or "containing" and are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited ingredients, components, or process steps.

[0080] As used herein, the term "degradation" or "decomposition" refers to the significant changes in the chemical structure of plastics under specific environmental conditions, resulting in the loss of certain properties. This can be any process that results in a decrease in the molecular weight of polymers or the conversion of long-chain structures into shorter, low-molecular-weight substances. Depending on the process involved, plastics can be degraded in three main ways: biological degradation, chemical degradation, and physicochemical degradation.

[0081] As used herein, the term "biodegradation" refers to the process by which plastics, acting as a nutrient source for microbial life, are digested and absorbed by organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and certain algae, transforming them into simpler compounds and ultimately into small molecules such as methane, carbon dioxide, and water. For example, the degradation of biodegradable plastics relies on biological processes that utilize the carbon-containing substances present in the plastics as a nutrient source for microorganisms.

[0082] As used herein, the term "chemical degradation" refers to the process by which plastics degrade through oxidative degradation, photodegradation, or hydrolysis, including oxidatively degradable plastics, photodegradable plastics, and hydrolytically degradable plastics. Specifically, chemical degradation in the present invention refers to the degradation process before plastics can be digested and absorbed by organisms. As known to those skilled in the art, the aerobic biodegradation test under controlled composting conditions of the present invention is conducted under specified temperature, oxygen concentration, humidity, and darkness or low light conditions. Therefore, the chemical degradation involved is primarily hydrolytic degradation.

[0083] As used herein, the term "physicochemical degradation" refers to the process by which plastics degrade under the influence of physical fields such as heat, electric fields, and stress. Specifically, physicochemical degradation in this context refers to the degradation of plastics before they can be digested and absorbed by organisms. As known to those skilled in the art, the aerobic biodegradation tests under controlled composting conditions described herein are conducted in darkness or low light conditions, and therefore the physicochemical degradation effects involved are relatively weak.

[0084] It is known in the art that the degradation rate of plastics is affected by numerous factors, including environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, chemical media, and light exposure, as well as factors inherent to the plastic itself, such as the polymer's primary, secondary, and tertiary structures, molecular weight and distribution, as well as composition, interfacial structure, physical morphology, porosity, and impurities. One objective of the present invention is to demonstrate the comprehensive anti-degradation properties of plastics through the methods of the present invention.

[0085] As used herein, the term "aerobic biodegradation test under controlled composting conditions" refers to determining the ultimate aerobic biodegradability and degree of disintegration of a plastic material by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by the plastic material as an organic compound under controlled composting conditions according to methods known in the art. By observing the temporal trend of its biodegradation rate or relative biodegradation rate, it can be found that the plastic material has a zero or even negative decomposition rate in the initial stage of degradation, which is referred to as the "hysteresis phase." Related research has found (Handbook of Biodegradable Polymers, Edited by Abraham J. Domb, Joseph Kost and David M. Wiseman, published in 1997 by CRC Press, pages 451-453) that, in the hysteresis phase, the plastic undergoes chemical degradation (such as hydrolysis, oxidative degradation, photodegradation, etc.) before biodegradation, under the influence of factors such as water, temperature, pH, and chemical substances, which can cause changes in its chemical structure. For example, before aerobic biodegradation begins, polylactic acid first needs to break ester bonds and reduce its molecular weight through a hydrolysis reaction (Hamad, Kotiba, et al. Properties and medical applications of polylactic acid: A review. Express polymer letters, 2015, 9 (5): 435-455). When the molecular weight is low to a certain threshold, for example, below 10 kDa, its oligomers or monomers are water-soluble and can be digested and absorbed by microorganisms or cells (Lunt, J. Large-scale production, properties and commercial applications of polylactic acid polymers. Polymer Degradation and Stability, 1998, 59: 145-152). In the biochemical process involving aerobic microorganisms, its oligomers or monomers can be further decomposed into small molecules until they are finally decomposed into carbon dioxide and water.

[0086] As is known in the art, during aerobic biodegradation tests under controlled composting conditions, the cumulative amount of carbon dioxide released is calculated by continuously monitoring and periodically measuring the carbon dioxide production in the test container and a blank container. The biodegradation rate is the ratio of the actual amount of carbon dioxide released by the plastic test material during the test to the theoretical amount of carbon dioxide that the material can produce. Those skilled in the art are aware that the aerobic biodegradability test of plastic test materials under controlled composting conditions can be carried out according to the test procedures in the following standards: GB / T 19277.1 “Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions—Method by analysis of evolved carbon dioxide—Part 1: General method”, or GB / T 19277.2 “Determination of the ultimate aerobic biodegradability of plastic materials under controlled composting conditions—Method by analysis of evolved carbon dioxide—Part 2: Gravimetric measurement of carbon dioxide evolved in a laboratory-scale test”, or ISO 14855-1, or ISO 14855-2, or ASTM D5929 “Standard Test Method for Determining Biodegradability of Materials Exposed to Source-Separated Organic Municipal Solid Waste Mesophilic Composting Conditions by Respirometryor ASTM D5338 “Standard Test Method for Determining Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials Under Controlled Composting Conditions, Incorporating Thermophilic Temperatures”, or EN ISO 14855-1, or EN ISO 14855-2, or BS EN ISO 14855-1, or BS EN ISO 14855-2, or DIN EN ISO 14855-1, or DIN EN ISO 14855-2, or KS T ISO 20200 “Plastics—Determination of the degree of disintegration of plastic materials under simulated composting conditions in a laboratory-scale test”, or UNE-EN 14995 “Plastics—Evaluation of compostability—Test scheme andspecifications” (test protocols and specifications for the assessment of the compostability of plastics), or AS5810 “Biodegradable plastics—Biodegradable plastics suitable for home composting” (biodegradable plastics—biodegradable plastics suitable for home composting).

[0087] The "biodegradation rate" used in the present invention can be determined according to methods known in the art. For example, the biodegradation rate of the plastic test material can be calculated according to the following equation in GB / T 19277.1:

[0088]

[0089] Of which (CO2) T The cumulative amount of carbon dioxide released from the compost container containing the test material (CO2) B is the average amount of carbon dioxide released from the blank container, and ThCO2 is the theoretical amount of carbon dioxide released by the test material. The same equation applies to the biodegradation rate of the reference material.

[0090] The aerobic biodegradation test under controlled composting conditions of the present invention can be carried out in a container or indoors, in darkness or weak light, without any steam that may affect the growth of microorganisms.

[0091] The "relative biodegradability" used in the present invention can be determined according to methods known in the art. For example, the relative biodegradability of the plastic test material can be further obtained according to the following equation:

[0092]

[0093] in, and are the plastic and the reference material at each time point {t i |i=1,2,3,...,n}Biodegradation rate (%).

[0094] The term "digestion vessel / composting vessel" as used herein refers to a vessel known in the art for aerobic biodegradation testing under controlled composting conditions. The digestion vessel can typically comprise a tightly connected glass container or a vessel made of other materials that does not affect the composting effect to avoid gas loss. The container may include a container containing a test material, a container containing a reference material, or a blank container. The container may be connected to an air system and a carbon dioxide measurement system.

[0095] As used herein, the term "plastic" refers to all types of plastics generally known in the art, in particular plastics that can be used in aerobic biodegradation tests under controlled composting conditions, such as plastics that can be tested for aerobic biodegradation under controlled composting conditions according to the 15 standards mentioned above. Such plastics may include, but are not limited to, all polymer compounds containing chemical bonds such as ester bonds, anhydride bonds (-RCOOOC-), orthoester bonds (-OCOR'R"OR-), carbonate bonds (-ROCOO-), phosphate bonds (-OPOR'OOR-), ketal bonds (-OCR'R"OR-), acetal bonds (-OCHR'OR-), imino-carbonate bonds (-ROCNHO-), peptide bonds / amide bonds (-CONH-), and / or phosphazene bonds (-RR'P=N-) in the polymer main chain or branched chain skeleton structure.

[0096] The term "critical point" or "critical transition time point" as used herein refers to the critical state of transition from a chemical degradation process (such as hydrolytic degradation, oxidative degradation, etc.) involving no microorganisms to a biochemical process (biodegradation stage) involving microorganisms. The critical point is defined in the present invention as the time at which the chemical degradation process (such as hydrolytic degradation, oxidative degradation, etc.) involving no microorganisms changes. c .

[0097] As used herein, the term "substantially linear" means that a set of data points are substantially aligned in a straight line in a scatter plot. Specifically, a substantially linear relationship is defined by a linear fit where the residual sum of squares (RSS) obtained from the linear fit should be <0.05, <0.025, <0.01, or <0.001. As known to those skilled in the art, a linear relationship between two variables in a scatter plot includes both positive and negative correlations.

[0098] The validity of the results of the aerobic biodegradation test under controlled composting conditions obtained in step (1) of the method of the present invention can be evaluated according to methods known in the art, for example, according to the methods required in standards GB / T 19277.1 or GB / T 19277.2.

[0099] The plastic test material used in the present invention may be in a form known in the art for aerobic biodegradation testing under controlled composting conditions, and may be added in a solid form, typically in the form of a film, granules, powder, or a simple shape (e.g., dumbbell shape). Preferably, it is in the form of granules or powder, and more preferably in the form of granules, such as plastic masterbatch. Generally, the maximum surface area of each piece of plastic test material should not exceed 4 cm 2 , wherein if the size of the test material element exceeds the maximum surface area, the size may be reduced to meet the requirement. For example, the test material may be in the form of particles having a diameter of about 1 cm or less, such as particles having a diameter of less than about 9 mm, less than about 8 mm, less than about 7 mm, less than about 6 mm, less than about 5 mm, less than about 4 mm, less than about 3 mm, less than about 2 mm, or less.
