Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of PET polyester, in particular to a preparation method of a degradable PET composite material for blister packaging. BACKGROUND

[0002] Blister packaging products have the advantages of light weight, sealing performance and the like, can package any special-shaped product, do not need to additionally add buffer materials when being packed into boxes, and are widely applied to aspects such as food packaging, medical and pharmaceutical transportation, electronic product protection and the like. The materials of the blister packaging products mainly include polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate and the like. The polyethylene terephthalate PET has better heat resistance, high mechanical strength, is biodegradable, has small green pollution and is widely applied.

[0003] The traditional PET material does not have good antibacterial performance, which is not conducive to the practical application of the PET in aspects such as food and medical and pharmaceutical packaging. Chitosan and its derivatives are a kind of natural antibacterial agent, have good biocompatibility, are biodegradable, green and environmentally friendly, and have important application in packaging materials. The chitosan can be added into the PET and the like to improve the antibacterial and biodegradable performance of the material. The Chinese patent CN111019171B discloses that a modified silicate-aluminate doped with carboxylated chitosan is mixed with ethylene glycol to obtain a carboxylated chitosan / silicate-aluminate / ethylene glycol blend, and then is subjected to in-situ polymerization with terephthalic acid to obtain a PET modified master batch, and the obtained PET protective film has good mechanical properties and water vapor barrier properties, but the PET protective film does not exhibit excellent antibacterial performance. Generally, the antibacterial performance of the material is related to the addition amount of the chitosan, if the addition amount is small, the antibacterial performance of the material is low. The PET material exhibits high antibacterial performance by adding a small amount of chitosan and its derivatives. SUMMARY

[0013] Preferably, the preparation method of bromo phthalate is as follows: adding dichloromethane, 100 parts by weight of terephthaloyl chloride, 250-306 parts by weight of bromo alcohol, 190-220 parts by weight of triethylamine into a reaction container in an ice bath, then reacting at 20-25 DEG C for 18-24h, washing with 5% potassium carbonate solution, adding anhydrous sodium sulfate to the dichloromethane organic phase after separation, drying and removing water, filtering, rotary evaporation of the filtrate, recrystallizing the product in ethyl acetate to obtain bromo phthalate. The bromo alcohol is 2-bromoethanol, 3-bromopropanol or 4-bromobutanol. The reaction formula is as follows:

[0014] .

[0015] The application has the beneficial technical effects: esterification reaction of 2-bromoethanol and other bromo alcohols with carboxymethyl chitosan to obtain bromo carboxylate chitosan, using bromine atom as a polymerization site, quaternary ammonium grafting polymerization reaction with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl ethylenediamine and bromo phthalate to obtain polyester quaternary ammonium salt grafted chitosan, thereby introducing polyester molecular chains containing terephthalate structural units and quaternary ammonium salt into the side chain of chitosan.

[0016] The application melts and mixes polyethylene terephthalate and polyester quaternary ammonium salt grafted chitosan to obtain a degradable PET composite material for blister packaging. The chitosan is grafted with terephthalate polyester molecular chains similar to PET, so that the compatibility between chitosan and PET is better, the mechanical property of PET material is little affected, and the impact strength of PET material is still high.

Moreover, the polyester molecular main chain grafted with chitosan contains a large number of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial groups, which cooperate with chitosan, and the addition amount is only 1.5-4%, which significantly improves the inhibition and killing performance and antibacterial rate of PET material on escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, and exhibits stronger antibacterial performance. The prepared PET material has good practical application in blister packaging products, food packaging, medical product packaging and the like. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] Table 1 PET composite performance test

[0051]

[0052] As shown in Table 1, compared with the PET material of Comparative Example 1, the polyester quaternary ammonium salt grafted chitosan is added in Examples 1-3, the chitosan is grafted with polyester molecular chain similar to terephthalate group of PET, , which makes the compatibility between chitosan and PET better, and has little effect on the mechanical properties of the material. The PET material still maintains high impact strength, and the chitosan has excellent biodegradable performance, and the grafted polyester molecular chain is also easily biodegradable, so that the PET material has high biodegradation rate. At the same time, the main chain of the chitosan grafted with polyester molecular chain contains a large number of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial groups, which cooperates with chitosan, and the addition amount is only 1.5-4%, which significantly improves the inhibition and killing performance and antibacterial rate of PET material on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and shows stronger antibacterial performance.

[0053] The PET material of Comparative Example 2 only adds carboxymethyl chitosan, which does not contain quaternary ammonium salt groups and has poor compatibility with PET, which will affect the mechanical properties of the material and the impact strength will decrease greatly.

[0054] Comparative Example 3 adds conventional chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, which has poor compatibility with PET and will affect the mechanical properties of the material, and the impact strength will decrease greatly.

[0055] Comparative Example 4 uses N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl ethylenediamine and 1,2-dibromoethane (not containing ester group) as raw materials to prepare polymeric quaternary ammonium salt grafted chitosan, which does not contain polyester molecular chain and has poor compatibility with PET, and the impact strength of the material decreases greatly. And the polymeric quaternary ammonium salt does not contain degradable polyester molecular chain, which will reduce the biodegradation rate of the material. However, the main chain of the chitosan grafted with polymeric quaternary ammonium salt contains a large number of quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial groups, which cooperates with chitosan, and significantly improves the antibacterial rate of PET material on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

[0056] The carboxymethyl chitosan of Comparative Example 5 does not contain bromine atom, which cannot be grafted with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl ethylenediamine and bromo phthalate to carry out grafting polymerization reaction, resulting in that the chitosan does not graft polyester molecular chain, and the compatibility between chitosan and PET is poor, and the impact strength of the material decreases greatly.
