Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of printing coatings, and in particular to a low-cost and high-efficiency transfer coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sublimation printing is an emerging printing process. It pre-prints a design onto transfer paper. A heat transfer machine then applies heat and pressure to transfer the delicate design onto the product surface. The resulting ink layer blends seamlessly with the product surface, creating a realistic and beautiful image with excellent reproducibility. This process can meet the designer's desired effect, significantly elevating product quality and making it suitable for mass production. It is also particularly well-suited for producing small quantities of diverse personalized and customized products, as well as for printing designs containing full-color images or photographs.

[0003] As the core medium for this technology, the performance of thermal sublimation transfer paper is directly related to the transfer effect. Currently, optimizing the paper surface coating formula to improve transfer efficiency is the future development trend in this field.

[0004] The most important component of thermal sublimation transfer paper is its surface coating. Existing coating formulation systems generally have low solid content, high viscosity, and poor drying performance, making it difficult to meet the wet strength requirements of low-weight paper running on large, high-speed coating machines. Moreover, with the trend towards lightweight paper, the functional requirements for transfer coatings are becoming increasingly stringent. The sublimated ink will diffuse outward from the back of the paper, affecting the transfer effect. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the fluidity barriers caused by the high viscosity of the coating and the problem of downward penetration of low-viscosity inks, while also taking into account the adaptability of ultra-low-weight paper. In addition, as a process paper, thermal transfer paper is used in huge quantities. The higher the cost, the greater the waste. Reducing costs is also the goal pursued by this technology.

[0005] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a thermal transfer coating with low cost, high transfer rate and suitable for fast transfer on ultra-low quantitative transfer paper. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-cost and high-efficiency transfer coating and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the technical problems that the high viscosity of the surface coating of thermal sublimation transfer paper easily leads to fluidity obstruction and the low viscosity leads to ink penetration.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention provides a low-cost and high-efficiency transfer coating, which is composed of the following components in parts by mass:

[0009] 5-40 parts of modified functional starch;

[0010] 2-10 parts of nanocellulose hydrogel;

[0011] Kaolin 0-40 parts;

[0012] 10-100 parts water;

[0013] The preparation method of the modified functional starch comprises the following steps:

[0014] Mixing starch and alkali metal hydroxide and performing an esterification reaction to obtain esterified starch;

[0015] adding the acid anhydride solution to the esterified starch to react and obtain sulfonated precursor starch;

[0016] The sulfonating agent is added to the sulfonated precursor starch to carry out a sulfonation reaction, and the product is washed, dried and crushed in sequence to obtain the modified functional starch.

[0017] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the starch to the alkali metal hydroxide is 10:1-5, and the alkali metal hydroxide comprises sodium hydroxide;

[0018] The temperature of the esterification reaction is 30-80° C., and the time of the esterification reaction is 20-60 minutes.

[0019] Furthermore, the starch comprises one or more of wheat starch, corn starch, potato starch and bean starch;

[0020] When the acid anhydride solution is added to the esterified starch for reaction, the reaction temperature is 30-80° C. and the reaction time is 2-7 hours;

[0021] The molar ratio of acid anhydride to esterified starch in the acid anhydride solution is 1:1-1.5.

[0022] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the sulfonating agent to starch is 0.5-1.5:3, the temperature of the sulfonation reaction is 30-80° C., and the time of the sulfonation reaction is 2-4 hours;

[0023] The sulfonating agent comprises one or more of fuming sulfuric acid, chlorosulfonic acid, sulfur trioxide, aminosulfonic acid and sulfite.

[0024] Furthermore, the preparation method of the nanocellulose hydrogel comprises the following steps:

[0025] The plant fibers are sequentially subjected to irradiation degradation, mechanochemical modification, and high-pressure homogenization to obtain nanocellulose hydrogels;

[0026] The nanocellulose hydrogel has a solid content of 1-5%, a diameter of 3-5 nm, and a length of 500-1000 nm.

[0027] Furthermore, the plant fiber comprises one or more of natural wood pulp, bamboo pulp or cotton pulp;

[0028] The radiation degradation dose of the plant fiber is 10-120 KGy;

[0029] Furthermore, the mechanochemical modification is specifically as follows: mixing the irradiated degraded plant fibers with water, then adding sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to 11-12, performing a pulping process using a pulping machine, and stopping the pulping when the beating degree is 60-70°SR to obtain micron-sized cellulose fibers;

[0030] The high-pressure homogenization specifically comprises: mixing micron-sized cellulose fibers with water to obtain a suspension, and subjecting the suspension to high-pressure homogenization treatment at a flow rate of 2 to 20 L / h and a homogenization pressure of 200 to 1500 bar.

[0031] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a low-cost and high-efficiency transfer coating, comprising the following steps:

[0032] 1) Mixing the modified functional starch and water and gelatinizing the mixture to obtain a starch solution;

[0033] 2) Mix the remaining components with the starch solution to obtain the transfer coating.

[0034] Furthermore, the transfer coating has a solid content of 30-50% and a viscosity of 300-1000 mPa·s.

[0035] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0036] The coating of the present invention has low viscosity, high solid content, good drying performance and significant cost advantages. It meets the wet strength requirements of light-weight paper running on large, high-speed coating machines and is particularly suitable for industrial applications that pursue both high quality and cost-effectiveness.

[0037] The introduction of nanocellulose in the present invention is key. Nanocellulose has good film-forming properties and biocompatibility, and simultaneously exhibits a nanometer size effect. Its surface is rich in hydroxyl groups, allowing it to tightly bind to pulp fibers under the action of hydrogen bonds, thereby improving paper density and tensile strength and preventing ink from diffusing outward from the back of the paper, thereby affecting the transfer effect. Furthermore, nanocellulose acts as a dispersant, reinforcing agent, and adhesive in the coating, contributing to improved smoothness and fluidity, making it easy to level and spread on paper and improving the coating's application adaptability. Simultaneously, by introducing modifying groups into nanocellulose, the surface coating's adsorption capacity for ink is increased, thereby preventing ink from penetrating the back of the paper.

[0038] The modified functional starch in this invention is cationized and grafted with strongly electropositive groups. The high density of positively charged sites formed on its surface efficiently captures anionic ink particles, achieving targeted enrichment at the coating interface based on an electrostatic adsorption mechanism, significantly improving ink fixation efficiency. This property enables the cationic starch to form a dynamic adsorption layer in the printed coating. Through charge neutralization, it promotes interfacial anchoring of ink particles within 0.5-2 seconds, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0039] The nanocellulose and modified functional starch in the transfer coating of the present invention both contain cationic groups and have the effect of anion scavengers. They can effectively adsorb ink and prevent ink from seeping, thereby improving the quality of thermal transfer in the subsequent thermal transfer process and presenting clear and bright patterns. The combination of nanocellulose and modified starch can effectively adjust the viscosity of the coating and improve transfer efficiency. This further prevents the problem of excessive use of nanocellulose or starch alone, which leads to low or high viscosity of the coating, poor fluidity, and ineffective transfer.

[0040] The combined use of nanocellulose and modified starch in the present invention can also enhance the strength and durability of paper, enabling the thermal transfer paper to better maintain its shape and performance when subjected to high temperature and pressure, thereby improving the transfer effect; improving the smoothness and glossiness of the paper or coating surface, and increasing its ability to adsorb ink. During the thermal transfer process, the ink can adhere more evenly to the paper surface, presenting a clearer and more vivid pattern. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0063] The nanocellulose hydrogel has a solid content of 1-5%, a diameter of 3-5 nm, and a length of 500-1000 nm.

[0066] The radiation degradation dose of the plant fiber is 10-120 KGy, preferably 20-100 KGy, and more preferably 50-80 KGy.

[0067] In the present invention, the mechanochemical modification is specifically as follows: mixing the irradiated degraded plant fiber with water, then adding sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to 11-12, using a refiner to perform a refining treatment, and stopping the refining when the beating degree is 60-70°SR to obtain micron-sized cellulose fibers;

The homogenization pressure is set to 200 to 1500 bar, a pressure range designed to effectively disrupt the cellulose structure and promote uniform dispersion of the nanocellulose while avoiding damage to the fiber structure caused by excessive treatment. This precisely controlled high-pressure homogenization process further optimizes the morphology and properties of the nanocellulose to meet the high standards required for subsequent applications. The resulting nanocellulose hydrogel has a solids content of 2%.

[0077] The technical solutions provided by the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
