However, they also present numerous inconveniences during transportation and use. They suffer from fragility, difficulty administering medication, weak impact resistance, difficulty recycling, and increased shipping costs due to their weight. Against this backdrop, developing packaging materials and innovative packaging formats for oral Chinese medicine liquids have become key approaches to addressing the shortcomings of glass bottles. After extensive market research and comparison, composite packaging films have emerged as an emerging packaging material for the oral Chinese medicine liquid market.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN118358230A discloses a high-draw aluminum-plastic film and its processing method. The film comprises, from the surface to the inner layer, a nylon protective layer, a composite aluminum foil layer, and a three-layer co-extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene layer. The nylon protective layer and the composite aluminum foil layer, as well as the composite aluminum foil layer and the three-layer co-extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene layer, are dry-laminated using a dry laminating machine. The three-layer co-extruded biaxially oriented polypropylene layer is a three-layer co-extruded film produced by co-extrusion casting and comprises, from the outside to the inside, an aluminum foil adhesive layer, a heat-resistant layer, and a heat-sealing layer. The composite aluminum foil layer comprises an aluminum layer and a polymer layer, and the outer surface of the polymer layer is formed with an aluminum layer by physical vapor deposition. The composite film prepared in this patent document contains heavy metal chromium salts, making it unsuitable for drug packaging. Furthermore, the film uses multiple types of polymer materials, making it difficult to simply recycle. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a recyclable composite film suitable for drug packaging. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an environmentally friendly and recyclable composite film for drug packaging and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problem that the current composite film cannot be recycled due to different materials.

[0005] The technical solution of the environmentally friendly and recyclable drug packaging composite film of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] An environmentally friendly and recyclable pharmaceutical packaging composite film comprises a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, a vacuum-aluminized biaxially oriented polypropylene film, and a cast polypropylene film, which are sequentially laminated. The vacuum-aluminized biaxially oriented polypropylene film comprises a biaxially oriented polypropylene layer and a vacuum-aluminized layer, and the vacuum-aluminized biaxially oriented polypropylene film is laminated with the biaxially oriented polypropylene film via the vacuum-aluminized layer. The cast polypropylene film comprises a transition layer, an adhesive layer, and a heat-sealing layer, which are sequentially laminated, and the cast polypropylene film is laminated with the biaxially oriented polypropylene layer of the vacuum-aluminized biaxially oriented polypropylene film via the transition layer. The transition layer is made of a transition layer material, which is homopolypropylene. The heat-sealing layer is made of a ternary copolymerized polypropylene, a heat-sealing agent, an anti-blocking agent, and a lubricant. The adhesive layer is made of an adhesive layer material, which is made by melt-extrusion granulation of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene, epoxy-group-modified nanoporous silica, and epoxy-group-modified nanofibrous wollastonite in a mass ratio of 100:2-3:4-5.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the epoxy group-modified nanoporous silica is as follows: γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, ethanol and water are mixed, the pH is adjusted to 3-4.5 with acid, nanoporous silica is added, and then heated to 70-80° C. and mixed for reaction for 7-10 hours.

[0008] Preferably, the mass ratio of γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane to nanoporous silica is 20-23:8-10.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the epoxy group-modified nanofibrous wollastonite is as follows: nanofibrous wollastonite and γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane are mixed in ethanol at 60-70° C. for 2-4 hours.

[0010] Preferably, the mass ratio of the nanofibrous wollastonite to γ-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane is 80-100:10.

[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of the terpolymer polypropylene, the heat sealant, the anti-blocking agent and the slip agent is 72:8:12:8.

[0012] Preferably, the heat sealant is propylene-butene copolymer.

[0013] Preferably, the lubricant is erucamide.

[0014] Preferably, the adhesive is silicon dioxide.

[0015] A method for preparing the above-mentioned environmentally friendly and recyclable composite film for drug packaging comprises the following steps: co-extruding a transition layer material, an adhesive layer material, and a heat-sealing layer material to obtain a cast polypropylene film; then coating glue between the biaxially oriented polypropylene film and the vacuum aluminum-plated biaxially oriented polypropylene film, followed by laminating to obtain a composite layer; and finally coating glue between the composite layer and the cast polypropylene film, followed by laminating to obtain the environmentally friendly and recyclable composite film for drug packaging.

[0016] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] (1) The present invention uses epoxy group-modified nanoporous silica and epoxy group-modified nanofibrous wollastonite to modify maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene to obtain a bonding layer material, and chemically grafts the nanoporous silica and nanofibrous wollastonite onto the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene molecular chain to ensure that the nanoporous silica and nanofibrous wollastonite are evenly and firmly attached to the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene molecular chain; when the bonding layer material, the transition layer material and the heat-sealing layer material are melt-extruded into a co-extrusion die, part of the fibrous wollastonite in the bonding layer material can enter the transition layer interface, and part can enter the heat-sealing layer interface. At the same time, part of the resin molecular chains at the transition layer interface can enter the pores of the porous silica under the action of extrusion, and part of the resin molecular chains at the heat-sealing layer interface can enter the pores of the porous silica under the action of extrusion. Therefore, the bonding layer, transition layer and heat seal layer are tightly bonded through the entanglement of polymer chains in the bonding layer, the transition connection of fibrous wollastonite and the porous adsorption of porous silica, thereby improving the adhesion between the transition layer and the heat seal layer.

[0018] (2) The cast polypropylene film prepared by the above-mentioned adhesive layer, transition layer and heat-sealing layer of the present invention contains a certain amount of nanoparticles, which can effectively improve the heat resistance of the cast polypropylene film and ensure that the packaged medicine is not damaged when heated. In addition, the transition connection effect of the fibrous wollastonite and the porous adsorption effect of the porous silica can effectively improve the density of the resin matrix, thereby improving the barrier properties of the composite film.

[0019] (3) The present invention uses vacuum aluminum-plated biaxially oriented polypropylene film as the middle layer, cast polypropylene film as the inner layer, and biaxially oriented polypropylene film as the outer layer, and obtains an environmentally friendly and recyclable drug packaging composite film by layer-by-layer compounding. The composite film of the present invention is portable, water-resistant, oxygen-resistant, and has good aroma retention, high mechanical strength, pressure resistance, and transportability, which are superior to glass bottles. The material structure fully meets customer needs. According to market feedback, the test samples have achieved the expected results in terms of breakage rate, shelf life, easy processing and transportation, and single material recyclability. The composite film of the present invention is suitable for hot filling, cooking bags, aseptic bags and other fields. The environmentally friendly and recyclable drug packaging composite film of the present invention has good oxygen barrier properties and can extend the shelf life of drugs. The composite film of the present invention was measured by a water vapor permeability meter and a gas permeability meter, and the water vapor and oxygen barrier rates of the composite film of the present invention were both less than 0.5 The barrier properties of this composite material rival those of aluminum foil, and all three layers are constructed from a single PP material, both environmentally friendly and recyclable. This single-material, recyclable packaging composite film boasts high mechanical strength, excellent pressure resistance, and is easy to transport and carry. It also offers excellent water and oxygen barrier properties, as well as aroma preservation, ensuring optimal drug stability. After pilot and pilot tests, this preparation method has proven to achieve the environmentally friendly concept of single-material recyclability and is poised to replace glass bottles for traditional Chinese medicine oral liquid packaging, becoming an emerging packaging material in the oral liquid market and a viable option for mass production.

[0020] (4) Compared with oral liquids in glass bottles, Chinese medicine oral liquid strip packs have the advantages of being environmentally friendly and recyclable, having a short production process, being light in weight and having low transportation costs, being green and environmentally friendly, not easy to break, having strong impact resistance, being highly safe, and being easy to carry. They are expected to replace the mainstream form of Chinese medicine oral liquid packaging in glass bottles in the market, and the industry has huge room for development.

[0074] In order to investigate the bonding effect of solvent-free polyurethane two-component glues prepared with different polyester alcohols and different adhesion modifiers on biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) and vacuum aluminum-plated biaxially oriented polypropylene film (VMBOPP), the test was repeated according to step (5) of Example 1, except that the poly(neopentyl adipate) used in the preparation of the polyester polyol material was replaced by polyethylene adipate of equal molecular weight, or the 2,2,2-triaminotriethylamine used in the preparation of the adhesion modifier was replaced by 1,4-butanediamine, or the 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid used in the preparation of the polyurethane curing agent was replaced by phosphoric acid. Then, the prepared solvent-free polyurethane two-component glue was coated between the biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) and the vacuum aluminum-plated biaxially oriented polypropylene film (VMBOPP) and then compounded. After the glue was cured, the peel strength between the biaxially oriented polypropylene film (BOPP) and the vacuum aluminum-plated biaxially oriented polypropylene film (VMBOPP) was tested, and the presence of aluminum transfer was observed. The test results are shown in Table 2. Among them, the solvent-free polyurethane two-component glue prepared by replacing poly(neopentyl adipate) with poly(diethylene adipate) of equal molecular weight was named glue A, the solvent-free polyurethane two-component glue prepared by replacing 2,2,2-triaminotriethylamine with 1,4-butanediamine was named glue B, the solvent-free polyurethane two-component glue prepared by replacing 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid with phosphoric acid was named glue C, and the solvent-free polyurethane two-component glue prepared in Example 1 was named glue D.
