Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of packaging materials, and in particular to a food packaging box and a manufacturing process thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and the rapid development of the food industry, food packaging materials are playing an increasingly important role in ensuring food safety, extending shelf life and improving storage and transportation conditions. Ideal food packaging materials should have excellent mechanical properties, good barrier properties, antibacterial properties and environmental friendliness. At present, food packaging materials mainly include traditional petroleum-based materials, bio-based materials and various composite materials.

[0003] Traditional food packaging materials are mainly petroleum-based polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). These materials have excellent processing properties, good mechanical strength and low cost, but they have problems such as heavy environmental burden and insufficient barrier properties. Taking polyethylene as an example, its barrier properties to water vapor and oxygen are poor, which can easily cause the food in the package to become damp or oxidized and deteriorate. Although polypropylene has good heat resistance and chemical stability, its gas barrier properties are also difficult to meet the packaging requirements for fresh food.

[0004] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, bio-based materials represented by polylactic acid (PLA), starch-based materials and cellulose derivatives have gradually attracted attention. These materials are renewable and biodegradable, but generally have disadvantages such as poor mechanical properties and high cost. Among them, polylactic acid, as one of the most promising bio-based materials, has shortcomings such as high brittleness and poor gas barrier properties. In addition, its surface hydrophobicity is strong, which is not conducive to the uniform dispersion of functional additives such as antibacterial agents, limiting its wide application in the field of food packaging.

[0005] In order to improve the performance defects of a single material, researchers have developed a variety of composite modification schemes. Among them, layered silicates represented by montmorillonite have shown obvious advantages in improving the barrier properties and mechanical properties of composite materials due to their unique layered structure and large specific surface area.

[0006] CN109021416A discloses a food composite packaging material and a preparation method thereof. The material is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 25-36 parts of polystyrene resin, 18-32 parts of polypropylene carbonate, 12-20 parts of alkyd resin, 5-12 parts of polypropylene glycol diglycidyl ether, 8-12 parts of calcium phosphate, 3-6 parts of polyacetimide, 8-14 parts of polylactic acid, 5-9 parts of propylene glycol methyl ether, 3-8 parts of polyacrylonitrile fiber, 5-12 parts of montmorillonite, 5-8 parts of oleic acid, 6-10 parts of polymethacrylic acid, 2-6 parts of dichlorodifluoromethane, 2-4 parts of polyether sulfone, 3-7 parts of plasticizer, 2-7 parts of cyclophosphamide, and 1-3 parts of sodium dibutylnaphthalene sulfonate.

[0007] However, the surface of natural montmorillonite is highly hydrophilic, has poor compatibility with the hydrophobic polymer matrix, is easily aggregated, and is difficult to achieve uniform dispersion in the matrix.

[0008] There are two major outstanding problems with the food packaging materials currently on the market: first, the barrier properties are insufficient. Most packaging materials have poor barrier effects on small molecules such as water vapor and oxygen, which makes the food in the package susceptible to moisture and oxidation, affecting the quality of the food; second, the lack of antibacterial properties. The surface of the packaging material is prone to breeding bacteria and fungi, which accelerates the spoilage of food and shortens the shelf life. Although the antibacterial properties of the material can be improved by adding antibacterial agents, the existing antibacterial agents have poor dispersion and insufficient durability in the polymer matrix, and some antibacterial agents have potential food safety risks.

[0009] Therefore, developing a green food packaging material with excellent barrier properties, good mechanical properties, lasting antibacterial properties and biodegradability is of great significance to promoting the sustainable development of the food packaging industry. Summary of the invention

[0010] In order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a food packaging box and a manufacturing process thereof. The prepared food packaging box has excellent barrier properties, can effectively prevent the penetration of moisture and gas, and delay the oxidation and deterioration of food; at the same time, it has long-lasting antibacterial activity, can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and significantly extend the shelf life of food.

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a food packaging box is made of the following components, measured by weight: 45-65 parts of polypropylene, 20-35 parts of polylactic acid, 8-16 parts of food-grade paraffin, 6-15 parts of modified montmorillonite, 3-8 parts of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 5-10 parts of chitosan phosphate, 3-8 parts of sorbitan fatty acid ester, and 2-6 parts of tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite.

[0012] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified montmorillonite comprises the following steps: (1) dispersing montmorillonite in deionized water, ultrasonically treating, adding 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, adjusting the pH of the system, stirring the reaction, filtering, washing, and drying the product to obtain mercapto-montmorillonite; Acid-catalyzed esterification reaction: First, montmorillonite is ultrasonically dispersed in water to form a stable colloid, exposing a large number of surface hydroxyl groups (Si-OH). Under acidic conditions, the carboxyl group (-COOH) of 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid undergoes a condensation reaction with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of montmorillonite. The protonated carboxyl carbon atom is nucleophilically attacked by the hydroxyl groups on the surface of montmorillonite, and finally dehydrates to form an ester bond (Si-OC=O) through a tetrahedral intermediate, while retaining the thiol group (-SH) in the molecule.

[0013] Preferably, in step (1), the usage ratio of montmorillonite, deionized water and 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid is 10 g: 100-150 mL: 2-5 g.

[0014] Preferably, in step (1), the ultrasonic treatment is performed for 10 to 30 minutes; the pH of the system is adjusted to 4 to 6 with hydrochloric acid; and the stirring reaction conditions are 60 to 75° C. and the stirring reaction is performed for 4 to 8 hours.

[0015] (2) dispersing the thiolated montmorillonite in tetrahydrofuran, adding 1-allyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane and AIBN in sequence, stirring and reacting under an inert atmosphere, filtering, washing and drying the product to obtain siloxane-modified montmorillonite; Free radical-induced thiol-olefin addition reaction: Thiolated montmorillonite dispersed in tetrahydrofuran reacts with 1-allyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane. AIBN decomposes under heating conditions to produce free radicals, which initiate thiol (-SH) to produce thiol radicals (-S·). The thiol radical attacks the double bond of the organosilicon olefin to form a carbon radical intermediate, which continues to extract a hydrogen atom from another thiol to form a stable thioether bond (-S-CH 2 -), while regenerating sulfur free radicals to maintain the chain reaction. The reaction is carried out under an inert atmosphere to avoid oxygen quenching free radicals and affecting the reaction.

[0016] Preferably, in step (2), the usage ratio of mercapto montmorillonite, tetrahydrofuran, 1-allyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane and AIBN is 10 g: 80-120 mL: 3.4-5.2 g: 0.05-0.2 g.

[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the stirring reaction conditions are 50-65° C. for 3-7 hours; and the product is washed with tetrahydrofuran and deionized water for 3-5 times in sequence.

[0018] (3) Dispersing the siloxane-modified montmorillonite in toluene, adding agmatine and Speier catalyst, stirring and reacting under an inert atmosphere, filtering, washing, and drying the product to obtain modified montmorillonite.

[0019] Platinum-catalyzed hydrosilation reaction: Si-H bonds have been introduced on the surface of siloxane-modified montmorillonite through the first two steps. 2 PtCl 6 ) reacts with agmatine. The reaction mechanism involves the reduction of Pt(IV) to an active Pt(II) species, which first undergoes oxidative addition to the Si-H bond and then coordinates to the amino group in the agmatine molecule. Migration insertion then occurs, followed by reduction elimination to obtain a Si-N bond, while releasing hydrogen and allowing the catalyst to circulate. The entire process achieves covalent attachment of the guanidine group to the montmorillonite surface via a stable Si-N bond.

[0020] Preferably, in step (3), the amount ratio of siloxane montmorillonite, toluene, agmatine, and Speier catalyst is 10 g: 80-120 mL: 3-5 g: 0.05-0.3 mL; the Speier catalyst is 0.1 mol / L H 2 PtCl 6 Isopropyl alcohol solution.

[0021] Preferably, in step (3), the stirring reaction conditions are 70-85° C. for 6-12 h; and the product is washed with toluene and deionized water for 3-5 times in sequence.

[0022] The present invention also claims protection for a production process of the food packaging box, comprising the following steps: uniformly mixing the raw materials in a high-speed mixer to obtain a mixture, obtaining a powder by melt extrusion, cooling, pelletizing, drying, and grinding, extruding the powder through a sheet extruder to obtain a sheet, and molding the sheet using a food packaging box molding machine to obtain the food packaging box.

[0023] Preferably, the raw materials are mixed at 250-400 r / min and 60-70° C. for 3-8 min; melt-extruded at 180-200° C.; and extruded into a sheet at 200-230° C.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention provides a food packaging box, wherein polypropylene as the main material provides good mechanical strength and processing performance, polylactic acid gives the material biodegradability, food-grade paraffin as a lubricating agent improves the fluidity and demoulding performance of the material, modified montmorillonite significantly improves the barrier and mechanical properties of the material, 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane as a coupling agent improves the organic-inorganic compatibility, chitosan phosphate has an antibacterial effect and can extend the shelf life of food, sorbitan fatty acid ester as an emulsifier improves the compatibility of each component, and tris (2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphite as an antioxidant improves the stability of the material. Through the optimized ratio of each component, the prepared food packaging box has excellent mechanical properties, barrier properties, antibacterial properties and biodegradability, meeting the strict requirements of food packaging.

[0025] 2. The present invention provides a modified montmorillonite, which gradually introduces different functional groups on the surface of montmorillonite to achieve efficient and multifunctional modification. First, 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of montmorillonite to obtain thiol groups on the surface of montmorillonite. These active thiol groups provide important reaction sites for subsequent organic modification. Secondly, 1-allyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane is grafted onto the surface of montmorillonite through a thiol-olefin addition reaction. The introduced long-chain siloxane groups significantly improve the hydrophobicity of montmorillonite, which not only weakens the polar interaction between montmorillonite layers, but also facilitates the dispersion of montmorillonite in non-polar polymer matrices such as polypropylene. Its hydrophobic properties can also effectively block the penetration of water molecules. Finally, agmatine is grafted onto the surface of montmorillonite through a hydrosilylation reaction. The guanidine group has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi and improve the antiseptic and fresh-keeping effect of food packaging materials. This multi-level modification enables montmorillonite to obtain good dispersion in the polymer matrix, forming a nano-scale exfoliation structure, and significantly improving the mechanical properties of the composite material by increasing the specific surface area. At the same time, the exfoliated layered silicate forms a tortuous diffusion path (maze effect) in the matrix, and cooperates with the hydrophobic barrier effect of the surface siloxane groups. Through the synergistic effect of physical blocking and chemical repulsion, it effectively extends the diffusion path of water molecules and gas molecules, and significantly enhances the barrier properties of the material.
