Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thin films, and in particular to a polylactic acid aluminum-coated film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polylactic acid (PLA), a new bio-based, renewable, biodegradable material, has shown great potential in the environmental protection field. Made from starch extracted from renewable plant resources such as corn and cassava, PLA is completely degraded under specific conditions by microorganisms in nature, ultimately converting into harmless carbon dioxide and water. It poses no environmental pollution and is recognized as an environmentally friendly material.

[0003] However, polylactic acid films have certain deficiencies in their oxygen and water vapor barrier properties, limiting their direct application in the packaging industry, which has stringent requirements for product barrier properties, especially for foods and pharmaceuticals that require long-term storage.

[0004] The current improvement method in the industry is to plate aluminum on the surface of polylactic acid film, using the dense barrier properties of the aluminum layer to improve the barrier properties of the polylactic acid film. However, the aluminum layer has poor adhesion to the surface of the polylactic acid film and the durability of the adhesion is low, which affects the application and promotion of polylactic acid aluminum-plated film. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the adhesion between the polylactic acid film and the aluminum layer and enhance the durability of the polylactic acid aluminum-plated film, the present application provides a polylactic acid aluminum-plated film and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a polylactic acid aluminum-plated film adopting the following technical solution:

[0007] A polylactic acid aluminum-plated film comprises a polylactic acid film material, a polyurethane coating, and an aluminum-plated layer arranged in sequence, wherein the polyurethane coating is formed by curing a polyurethane coating, the polyurethane coating is subjected to plasma surface treatment, and the polyurethane coating is prepared from raw materials containing the following parts by weight:

[0008] 70-80 parts of hydroxy acrylate emulsion;

[0009] 1-1.5 parts of isocyanate-modified cellulose;

[0010] 7-9 parts of isocyanate curing agent;

[0011] 2 to 4 parts of additives;

[0012] 20-30 parts of water.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, a polyurethane coating is provided as a bonding layer between the polylactic acid film and the aluminum-plated layer, effectively improving the bonding strength between the polylactic acid film and the aluminum-plated layer. The isocyanate-modified cellulose is incorporated into the polyurethane coating. The isocyanate-modified cellulose improves the interfacial compatibility with the polyurethane structure, thereby improving the dispersibility of the cellulose in the polyurethane coating. The cellulose not only increases the crosslinking density within the polyurethane coating but also enhances the interfacial interaction of the polyurethane coating, effectively improving the bonding strength between the polyurethane coating and the aluminum-plated layer, as well as between the polyurethane coating and the polylactic acid film, thereby enhancing the adhesion of the aluminum-plated layer to the surface of the polylactic acid film.

[0014] Isocyanate-modified cellulose also increases the number of active sites on the polyurethane coating that can be treated with plasma. After the isocyanate-modified cellulose is treated with plasma, the number of active groups on the surface increases, effectively improving the surface activity of the polyurethane coating, enhancing the fixation of aluminum during aluminum plating, further enhancing the bonding force between the polyurethane coating and the polylactic acid film, and improving the adhesion and durability of the aluminum plating layer.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the proportion of isocyanate access to the cellulose surface is controlled to improve the cross-linking density inside the polyurethane coating; the 4-n-butylphenol isocyanate has an n-butyl chain at the end, which forms a good entanglement with the polyurethane chain segment, thereby improving the density of the polyurethane coating and improving the barrier properties. The ratio of 4-n-butylphenol isocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate is controlled to keep the cross-linking between the cellulose fibers at a low level, prevent excessive cross-linking and agglomeration, give full play to the interfacial interaction, and thus improve the durability of the polylactic acid aluminum-coated film.

[0019] Optionally, the auxiliary agent includes one or both of a leveling agent and a thickener.

[0020] Optionally, the hydroxyacrylate emulsion is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0024] 2-3 parts of emulsifier;

[0025] 0.2-0.6 parts of initiator;

[0026] 60-70 parts of water.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, in combination with short-chain aliphatic and long-chain aliphatic acrylate monomers, not only the interfacial interaction of the polyurethane coating is enhanced, but also the interfacial bonding ability with isocyanate-modified cellulose is improved, further improving the bonding durability of the polyurethane coating.

[0028] Optionally, the short-chain aliphatic acrylate monomer includes one or more of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate and propyl methacrylate; the long-chain aliphatic acrylate monomer includes one or more of dodecyl methacrylate, tetradecyl methacrylate and hexadecyl methacrylate.

[0029] Optionally, the hydroxyacrylate is selected from one or more of hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate and hydroxypropyl methacrylate.

[0030] Optionally, the emulsifier includes one or both of sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium stearate.

[0031] Optionally, the initiator includes one or both of potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate.

[0032] Optionally, the isocyanate curing agent is a water-dispersible polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the water-dispersible polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate is suitable for forming a stable cross-linking structure with the hydroxy acrylate emulsion, and the cross-linking structure is dense.

[0034] Optionally, the thickness of the polylactic acid film is 15 to 20 μm.

[0035] Optionally, the thickness of the aluminum plating layer is 400 to 450 angstroms.

[0036] Optionally, the polyurethane coating has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.3 μm.

[0039] The hydroxy acrylate emulsion and the isocyanate modified cellulose are stirred and mixed, and the mixture is heated to 40-45° C., and then the isocyanate curing agent, the auxiliary agent and water are added and mixed. After stirring evenly, the heating is stopped and the stirring is continued for 20-60 minutes to obtain a polyurethane coating.

[0040] Applying polyurethane coating on one side of the polylactic acid film, drying and curing it to form a polyurethane coating;

[0041] The surface of the polyurethane coating is subjected to plasma treatment, and then aluminum is vacuum evaporated on the surface of the polyurethane coating to form an aluminum-plated layer, which is then dried and solidified to obtain a polylactic acid aluminum-plated film.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, before vacuum evaporation of aluminum on the surface of the polyurethane coating, it is first subjected to plasma treatment, thereby increasing the surface activity of the polyurethane coating to be compatible with the interface of aluminum, thereby improving the adhesion between the aluminum layer and the polyurethane coating.

[0043] Optionally, the method for preparing the isocyanate-modified cellulose comprises the following steps:

[0044] The cellulose is dispersed in an organic solvent, and isocyanate is added after heating. The reaction is stirred until the -NCO content in the reaction system is less than 0.1%, and then the reaction is stopped. The cellulose is filtered, washed, and dried to obtain isocyanate-modified cellulose.

[0046] Optionally, the preparation method of the hydroxyacrylate emulsion comprises the following steps:

[0047] Part of the emulsifier is evenly dispersed in water, and then hydroxy acrylate monomer, short-chain aliphatic acrylate monomer, and long-chain aliphatic acrylate monomer are added and mixed. The temperature is increased, and the initiator is gradually added to react. The remaining emulsifier is added, and after the reaction is completed, a hydroxy acrylate emulsion is obtained.

[0048] Optionally, the working gas in the plasma treatment method is air, the working gas flow rate is 2000-2500 sccm, and the plasma treatment power is 3-5 kW.

[0049] By adopting the above technical solution and adjusting the parameters of the plasma treatment, the surface activity of the polyurethane coating can be fully improved and the impact on the stability of the polyurethane coating can be reduced.

[0050] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0051] 1. This application provides a polyurethane coating as a bonding layer between the polylactic acid film and the aluminum coating, effectively improving the bonding between the polylactic acid film and the aluminum coating. The isocyanate-modified cellulose incorporated into the polyurethane coating improves the interfacial compatibility of the cellulose with the polyurethane structure after isocyanate modification, thereby improving the dispersibility of the cellulose in the polyurethane coating. The cellulose not only increases the crosslinking density within the polyurethane coating but also enhances the interfacial interactions of the polyurethane coating, effectively improving the bonding between the polyurethane coating and the aluminum coating, as well as between the polyurethane coating and the polylactic acid film, thereby enhancing the adhesion of the aluminum coating to the surface of the polylactic acid film.

[0052] 2. After the isocyanate-modified cellulose is treated with plasma, the surface active groups increase, which effectively improves the surface activity of the polyurethane coating. In addition, the aromatic monoisocyanate has the characteristics of benzene ring rigidity, which can improve the adhesion between the polyurethane system and the cellulose interface. The aliphatic diisocyanate can achieve cross-linking between celluloses, forming a network fiber structure at the interface of the polyurethane coating, improving the adhesion of the aluminum-plated film to the polyurethane coating surface, and enhancing the fixation of aluminum during aluminum plating, further enhancing the bonding between the polyurethane coating and the polylactic acid film, and improving the adhesion and durability of the aluminum-plated layer.

[0142] From Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen that the polylactic acid aluminized films prepared in Examples 1-3 perform well in terms of adhesion to the aluminum layer and durability of the adhesion to the aluminum layer, while ensuring good oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties. Compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that after the isocyanate-modified cellulose is added to the polyurethane coating, the adhesion to the aluminum layer of the polylactic acid aluminized film is improved due to the enhanced bonding between the polyurethane coating and the aluminum layer and between the polyurethane coating and the polylactic acid film. In addition, the polyurethane coating is plasma treated to further improve the bonding between the polyurethane coating and the aluminum layer, thereby improving the adhesion durability of the aluminum layer.

[0143] Combining Example 3 with Examples 4-6 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that after cellulose is modified with isocyanate, the interfacial bonding ability of the polyurethane coating is significantly enhanced, and the appropriate selection of aromatic monoisocyanate and aliphatic diisocyanate can further improve the adhesion durability of the aluminum layer.

[0144] It can be seen from Example 3 and Example 7 that the polymerization of long-chain aliphatic acrylate monomers in the hydroxy acrylate emulsion can further improve the adhesion durability of the aluminum layer.

[0145] This specific implementation manner is merely an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the specific implementation manner as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present application, they are protected by the patent law.
