Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of natural polymer materials, and in particular relates to an oxidized corn starch / sericin / carbon nanotube / nanosilver composite film material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global demand for sustainable packaging grows, bio-based materials have become a key direction to replace traditional plastics due to their renewable and degradable properties. The research and development of oxidized corn starch / sericin / carbon nanotube / nanosilver composite film materials focuses on solving the core defects of traditional starch-based materials in functional applications. Existing technologies mainly improve performance through chemical modification, nanofiller doping or blending processes, but still face multiple challenges: First, the hydroxyl-intensive characteristics of the natural starch matrix easily lead to poor interfacial compatibility with other polymers, causing phase separation, significantly weakening the mechanical strength and flexibility of the material; second, the hydrophilic properties of the starch film make it insufficient in water resistance and moisture barrier, and at the same time, the thermal stability is limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of complex environments; third, traditional antibacterial agents have the problems of high addition amount, low efficiency or poor stability, and nano antibacterial agents are prone to aggregation and inactivation due to uneven dispersion or weak interfacial effects; fourth, the processing process often relies on high-cost nanomaterials or organic solvents, which is contrary to the concept of green environmental protection. In response to the above problems, this material achieves performance optimization through multi-component collaborative design: the aldehyde group of oxidized corn starch is used to form a multiple cross-linked network with sericin, carbon nanotubes and nanosilver to enhance the interface bonding force and mechanical properties; the flexible chain segments of sericin complement the rigid skeleton of starch to improve flexibility; carbon nanotubes construct a conductive network and enhance structural stability, while the efficient antibacterial activity and surface functionalization design of nanosilver effectively inhibit agglomeration while reducing the amount of addition.
