Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and in particular to a modified polylactic acid high-barrier packaging material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the rapidly developing packaging industry, polymer materials have become indispensable materials due to their unique advantages, such as light weight, high cost-effectiveness, easy processing and functionalization. However, traditional packaging polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, rely on non-renewable fossil resources, and their production and waste disposal processes have caused tremendous pressure on the environment, including resource depletion and environmental pollution. Therefore, exploring and developing biodegradable polymer materials to replace traditional petroleum-based polymers has become a key way to solve this global challenge.

[0003] Among many biodegradable polymers, polylactic acid (PLA) has become one of the most promising candidate materials due to its abundant monomer sources, relatively low cost, excellent mechanical properties and processing properties, and excellent transparency. However, despite PLA's excellent performance in many aspects, its relatively moderate barrier properties have become a bottleneck limiting its widespread application in the field of high-end packaging. Especially for those application scenarios that require high barrier properties, such as food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, and electronic product packaging, the barrier properties of PLA are far from meeting actual needs. Summary of the invention

[0011] Preferably, the usage ratio of the methanol, hydrogen peroxide and pyrrole is 1L:1L:30g, and the usage ratio of the graphene to the mixed solution is 1kg:5L.

[0012] Preferably, the modified liquid is an aqueous solution containing cocamide monoethanolamide and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate.

[0013] Preferably, the mass concentration of cocamide monoethanolamide in the modified liquid is 5-10%.

[0014] Preferably, the mass concentration of disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate in the modified solution is 5-10%.

[0015] The method for preparing the above-mentioned modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material comprises the following steps:

[0016] The polylactic acid resin, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer and graphene are mixed evenly and then melt-extruded through a twin-screw extruder to obtain the modified polylactic acid high-barrier packaging material.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] The invention provides a new modified polylactic acid high-barrier packaging material; research shows that the packaging material prepared by using polylactic acid resin, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer and graphene as raw materials has high barrier performance; in addition, the inventor creatively finds that only after the graphene is placed in an aqueous solution containing cocamide monoethanolamide and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate for modification, the modified graphene can further significantly improve the elongation at break of the packaging material through the compatibility with polylactic acid resin and polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer; therefore, the packaging material with high barrier and high elongation at break provided by the invention can be applied to the fields of food packaging, drug packaging, electronic product packaging and the like.

[0055] The modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging materials prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2 were made into sheets and then calendered into films with a thickness of 15 μm; then, the water vapor permeability coefficient was tested according to the method in GB / T 1037-2021, and the elongation at break was tested according to the method in GB / T 1040.3-2006; the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] Table 1. Test results of properties of modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging materials

[0057]

[0058] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material in Example 1 has a smaller water vapor permeability coefficient; this shows that the packaging material prepared with polylactic acid resin, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer and graphene as raw materials has higher barrier properties.

[0059] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the water vapor permeability coefficient of the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material in Example 2 is smaller than that in Example 1; this indicates that adding the modified graphene prepared by the method of the present invention to the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material of the present invention can improve the barrier properties of the packaging material compared to adding unmodified graphene.

[0060] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the elongation at break of the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material in Example 2 is further significantly higher than that in Example 1; this indicates that adding the modified graphene prepared by the above method to the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material of the present invention can significantly improve the elongation at break of the packaging material compared to adding unmodified graphene.

[0061] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the water vapor permeability coefficient of the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material in Example 3 is further smaller than that in Example 2; this indicates that the modified graphene obtained by further placing the graphene in an aqueous solution containing cocamide monoethanolamide and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate for modification can further improve the barrier properties of the packaging material compared with the modified graphene prepared without this step.

[0062] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the elongation at break of the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging material of Example 3 is further significantly higher than that of Example 2; this indicates that the modified graphene obtained by further placing the graphene in an aqueous solution containing cocamide monoethanolamide and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate for modification can further significantly improve the elongation at break of the packaging material compared with the modified graphene prepared without this step.

[0063] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 1 that the elongation at break of the modified polylactic acid high barrier packaging materials of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is improved compared with that of Example 2, but the improvement is not large; this shows that the elongation at break of the packaging material can be further significantly improved by further placing the graphene in an aqueous solution containing both cocamide monoethanolamide and disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate for modification; however, the elongation at break of the packaging material cannot be further significantly improved by placing the graphene in an aqueous solution containing only cocamide monoethanolamide or only disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate for modification.
