Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of plastic packaging, and particularly relates to a water and oxygen resistant polyethylene composite material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyethylene is one of commonly used packaging materials, and has advantages of low price, easy processing and stable chemical properties, and is widely applied in food and medical packaging. Barrier property is a basic requirement for packaging materials, and can prevent oxygen, water vapor and bacteria from invading from outside the packaging, thereby prolonging the shelf life of materials inside the packaging. Since polyethylene has low polarity, according to the principle of similar solubility, the water permeability of polyethylene is low, but the air permeability is high, that is, the oxygen resistance is poor.

[0003] Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) has good processability of polyethylene and high gas barrier property of polyvinyl alcohol. The molecular chain of EVOH contains hydroxyl groups, and a large number of hydrogen bonds weaken the molecular chain movement, thereby increasing the compactness of the material, and thus the material has excellent gas barrier property. However, the high-polarity molecular structure of EVOH makes it have hydrophilicity and hygroscopicity, and the gas barrier property of EVOH decreases with the increase of humidity, and the barrier property sharply decreases under high humidity conditions.

[0004] Blending polyethylene with EVOH can take advantages of both and reduce cost, but the non-polar polyolefin and the high-polar barrier material EVOH have poor compatibility, and the blending of materials will destroy the continuity of the high-barrier material, thereby affecting the barrier property. In addition, the low mechanical strength of polyethylene is also a problem to be solved in the process of blending modification. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a polyethylene composite material with good water and oxygen resistance and mechanical properties meeting the use requirements, so as to solve the problems in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0005] The application aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, and provides a water and oxygen resistant polyethylene composite material.

[0017] Preferably, the preparation method of the polyhydroxy sulfonic acid quaternary ammonium salt comprises the following steps:

[0018] S1, dissolving a halide salt of a quaternary ammonium compound in a solvent, exchanging the halide anion to hydroxide anion by a hydroxide exchange column to form a quaternary ammonium cation-containing hydroxide;

[0019] S2, adding a polyhydroxy sulfonic acid in an equimolar amount to the quaternary ammonium cation-containing hydroxide, stirring to perform neutralization reaction, and vacuum baking to remove the solvent to obtain the polyhydroxy sulfonic acid quaternary ammonium salt.

[0020] Preferably, the solvent in step S1 is a combination of one or more of water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and isopropanol.

[0021] Preferably, the quaternary ammonium cation is a mixture of one or more of dodecyltrimethylammonium ion, tetradecyltrimethylammonium ion, hexadecyltrimethylammonium ion, octadecyltrimethylammonium ion, dioctyl dimethyl ammonium ion, didecyl dimethyl ammonium ion, didodecyl dimethyl ammonium ion, ditetradecyl dimethyl ammonium ion, dihexadecyl dimethyl ammonium ion, and dioctadecyl dimethyl ammonium ion.

[0022] Preferably, the polyhydroxy sulfonic acid is a mixture of one or more of 1,2-dihydroxyethanesulfonic acid, 2-(diethanolamino)ethanesulfonic acid, 3-[2-(4-hydroxybutoxy)-1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]ethoxy]-1-propanesulfonic acid.

[0023] Preferably, the auxiliary agent includes a mixture of one or more of an antioxidant, an antistatic agent, a compatibilizer, a toughening agent.

[0024] Preferably, the method for preparing the water-oxygen barrier polyethylene composite material comprises the following steps:

[0030] Further preferably, the heating reaction time in step S01 is 2-4h, and the stirring reaction time in step S02 is 2-4h.

[0031] Montmorillonite is a nano-dimension surface negative charged silicate sheet, which is in a layered structure. When used as a polymer filler, it can prolong the penetration path of moisture or small gas molecules in the material, which is helpful to improve the barrier property of the material. However, the presence of a large number of inorganic ions between the layers of nano-montmorillonite makes it exhibit hydrophilic and oleophobic properties, which is not conducive to its dispersion in polyethylene, thereby making the barrier property of the polyethylene material not obviously improved. On the other hand, for packaging materials such as polyethylene film with small thickness, in order to obtain high barrier property, more montmorillonite needs to be added. However, when the amount of montmorillonite is too much, the nanoparticles in the composite material are prone to agglomeration, which will cause the gas barrier property and mechanical property of the polymer to deteriorate significantly. The orientation degree of two-dimensional nanomaterials in the matrix material is closely related to the improvement of the gas barrier property, so it is very important to ensure its full distribution and arrangement to improve the barrier property while reducing the amount.

[0032] In the application, the montmorillonite is organically modified by using a polyhydroxy quaternary ammonium sulfonate. The quaternary ammonium cation is replaced with the interlayer cation of the montmorillonite, and an oleophilic alkyl chain segment is introduced on the surface of the montmorillonite sheet. The glass fiber is treated by acid erosion, and the Si-O structure on the surface is fully exposed to generate hydroxyl groups, which form hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the polyhydroxy quaternary ammonium sulfonate, forming a composite of organically modified montmorillonite coated on the surface of the glass fiber. The glass fiber has high strength and high modulus, and when added to polyethylene, it can improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the material. During the molding process, the glass fiber is arranged in parallel along the stress (flow) direction, while the montmorillonite is arranged and distributed in the form of nanosheet along the direction of the glass fiber surface due to the hydrogen bonds between the polyhydroxy quaternary ammonium sulfonate and the hydroxylated glass fiber, forming a barrier layer, which is conducive to further improving the barrier effect.

[0033] In the application, the polyethylene, EVOH and organically modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite are melt blended. The hydrogen bond force exists between the hydroxyl groups of EVOH and the hydroxyl groups on the organically modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite, which increases the density of the material and improves the water and oxygen barrier properties. On the other hand, the alkyl chain segment of the quaternary ammonium cation in the organically modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite is compatible with the polyethylene segment, so that the organically modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite and EVOH form a stable dispersed phase in the polyethylene matrix.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] (1) The present application mixes and reacts quaternary ammonium polyhydroxy sulfonate, montmorillonite and hydroxylated glass fiber, wherein the quaternary ammonium cation of the quaternary ammonium polyhydroxy sulfonate has an oleophilic alkane segment, which is introduced onto the surface of the montmorillonite by cation exchange to improve the hydrophobicity and compatibility with polyethylene, and the hydroxyl group of the quaternary ammonium polyhydroxy sulfonate forms a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl group of the glass fiber to generate a composite of organic modified montmorillonite coated on the surface of the glass fiber. During the processing and molding, the glass fiber is arranged in parallel along the stress direction, and the montmorillonite is arranged and distributed in the form of nanosheet along the direction of the surface of the glass fiber. The impermeability of the montmorillonite and the glass fiber and the bending of the permeation path induced by the presence of nanomaterials reduce the permeation rate of gas and moisture, and the ordered arrangement and distribution of the nanosheet further improve the barrier effect.

[0036] (2) The present application uses ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and organic modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite to blend and modify polyethylene. The hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of EVOH and the hydroxyl group on the organic modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite increases the density of the material and improves the barrier property. The good compatibility between the alkane segment of the quaternary ammonium cation in the organic modified montmorillonite-glass fiber composite and the polyethylene segment also improves the dispersion stability of the montmorillonite-glass fiber composite and EVOH in the polyethylene matrix. The two work together to improve the water and oxygen resistance and mechanical strength of the polyethylene. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0092] Table 2: Performance test of the polyethylene composite material prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] As can be seen from Table 2, the polyethylene composite material in Examples 1-4 has excellent water and oxygen barrier properties, wherein the oxygen transmission rate under 0% RH conditions is less than 0.42 cm 3 / (m 2 ·24h·0.1MPa), the oxygen transmission rate under high humidity conditions is less than 0.9 cm 3 / (m 2 ·24h·0.1MPa), and the water vapor transmission rate is less than 0.8 g / (m 2 ·24h); in addition, its tensile properties and impact strength meet the use requirements.

[0096] As can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Example 1, the water and oxygen barrier properties of the polyethylene composite material prepared by using octadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide instead of polyhydroxy sulfonic acid quaternary ammonium salt are decreased, and the tensile strength and impact strength are also significantly reduced. This is because the interaction between the montmorillonite modified by octadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and the hydroxylated glass fiber is small, the montmorillonite-glass fiber composite is unstable, which leads to poor dispersion of the glass fiber in the system, and the barrier properties and mechanical properties are poor.

[0097] As can be seen from the comparative example 2 and the example 4, when the hydroxylated glass fiber is not added, the water and oxygen barrier properties of the composite material are obviously reduced, which is because the regularity of the distribution of the montmorillonite nanosheet is reduced, and the hydrogen bond effect between the hydroxyl glass fiber and the EVOH is not formed, and the compactness of the composite material is reduced; in addition, the tensile strength and the impact strength of the composite material are reduced without the reinforcing effect of the glass fiber.

[0098] As can be seen from the comparative example 3 and the example 4, when the montmorillonite is not added, the oxygen barrier property of the composite material is obviously deteriorated under high humidity conditions, and the water barrier property is reduced; and the impact strength of the composite material is also reduced without the toughening effect of the nanometer montmorillonite.

[0099] As can be seen from the comparative example 4 and the example 1, when the amount of the montmorillonite is continuously increased to 11 parts by mass, the barrier property and the mechanical property are deteriorated, which is because the agglomeration phenomenon occurs when the amount of the montmorillonite is large.

[0100] As can be seen from the comparative example 5 and the example 1, when the glass fiber is not subjected to the hydroxyl treatment, the water and oxygen barrier properties of the composite material are reduced, and the tensile strength and the impact strength are also obviously reduced. This is because the content of -OH on the surface of the glass fiber is low after the glass fiber is not subjected to the hydroxyl treatment, the interaction force between the modified montmorillonite and the glass fiber is small, and the compatibility of the glass fiber with the polyethylene is also poor, so that the dispersed phase in the system is unstable, and the barrier property and the mechanical property are deteriorated.

[0101] Obviously, the above examples of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the implementation modes of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description.
