Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of degradable plastics, and particularly relates to a degradable PBAT modified material with resistance to migration and low precipitation, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, fully biodegradable materials (such as PLA, PBAT, etc.) have become an important way to solve the white pollution of traditional plastics because they can be completely decomposed by microorganisms in the natural environment. There are more and more products such as supermarket shopping bags, garbage bags, milk tea bags, etc. produced from degradable materials on the market. However, compared with traditional PE bags, the film bags made of degradable materials are expensive, and the products have problems such as precipitation, stickiness, and poor mechanical properties. The product iteration is fast, and the product performance has not been widely verified, so the penetration rate has not increased explosively.

[0003] Cost reduction and modification of degradable materials are important means to promote degradable products. Starch has a low cost, is green and environmentally friendly, and can be completely biodegradable, so it is widely used in the modification of PBAT materials. A large number of hydroxyl groups in the starch molecular structure result in strong intermolecular forces of starch molecules, which leads to large starch particle sizes and difficult dispersion. The traditional method is to add small molecule alcohols such as glycerol and sorbitol as plasticizers to plasticize the original starch. However, in fact, the plasticization process of starch is difficult, and the problems of precipitation and stickiness of the modified PBAT products still cannot be effectively improved.

[0004] Patent CN114957933B discloses a starch-based biodegradable PBAT modified material and a preparation method thereof, which solves the starch plasticization problem by preparing silicone microspheres to encapsulate glycerol plasticizer. However, in fact, the preparation process of the silicone microspheres is complex, and the encapsulation effect on glycerol is not very ideal. This preparation method still uses traditional glycerol as a plasticizer, resulting in insufficient aging resistance during long-term use of the material. If the product contacts a liquid, it is easy to cause the migration and precipitation of small molecule plasticizers.

[0005] Patent CN105623214A discloses a plasticized biodegradable polyester film and a preparation method thereof, which improve the resistance to precipitation and migration and the mechanical properties of the modified polyester material by adding diacetyl epoxy vegetable oil acid glycerol ester as a plasticizer. The epoxy bond in the molecular structure of diacetyl epoxy vegetable oil acid glycerol ester can react with the terminal hydroxyl groups and terminal carboxyl groups of PLA and PBAT to improve their compatibility. Diacetyl epoxy vegetable oil acid glycerol ester has a relatively weak plasticizing effect on starch with a polyhydroxy structure and is difficult to be applied to degradable materials in the starch system.

[0006] Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a modified PBAT material with resistance to migration and low precipitation and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a modified PBAT material with resistance to migration and exudation and a preparation method thereof. By introducing a self-made macromolecular polyester plasticizer, the problems of difficult feeding such as caking and bridging that occur after the starch contacts with small-molecule liquid plasticizers during the processing are effectively avoided; moreover, due to its large molecular weight and cage-like structure, it is quite resistant to volatilization during the material processing and final use, and both the migration property and the leaching property are greatly improved; in addition, due to its large free volume, more space for free movement of molecular chains is provided, improving the tensile property of the material.

[0041] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a modified PBAT material with resistance to migration and exudation.

[0043] Preferably, the extruder is a twin-screw extruder.

[0044] In the method for preparing the modified PBAT material described in the present invention, a high-speed mixer is used for mixing, with a rotation speed of 20-120 rpm, preferably 50-80 rpm; the temperature is 20-40 °C, preferably 25-35 °C; the mixing time is 5-15 min; the screw temperature of the twin-screw extruder is 130-160 °C, preferably 140-150 °C; the rotation speed is 100-800 rpm, preferably 300-400 rpm.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0046] 1) In the present application, a self-made macromolecular polyester plasticizer is introduced to modify starch. The multi-carboxyl structure of the adopted polyester plasticizer has excellent compatibility and plasticizing ability for starch. At the same time, it effectively avoids the feeding difficulties such as caking and bridging that occur after starch contacts with small-molecule liquid plasticizers in the traditional processing process, as well as the die exudation and extrusion fuming problems that occur during the processing process.

[0047] 2) Since the self-made macromolecular polyester plasticizer has a large molecular weight and its multi-carboxyl structure is well grafted in starch and PBAT resin, it plays an excellent plasticizing and compatibilizing role during the PBAT modification process, and the molecular chains have a high entanglement degree with the PBAT matrix. During the material processing process and the use process of the final product, compared with small-molecule alcohol and ester plasticizers, it is more difficult to degrade and exude, and the migration resistance and leaching resistance are greatly improved.

[0048] 3) The macromolecular polyester plasticizer of the present application also has a cage structure, which can well adsorb the residual small molecules in the PBAT, PLA matrix resins and starch raw materials, as well as the small molecules generated in the initial stage of material degradation, and synergistically improve the exudation and stickiness on the surface of the modified PBAT product.

[0049] 4) The molecular spatial structure of the macromolecular polyester plasticizer of the present application is complex. Compared with small-molecule alcohol and ester plasticizers, after plasticizing and compatibilizing with the matrix resin and starch, there is a larger free volume between molecules, providing more free movement space for the molecular chains. At the material level, the toughness is greatly enhanced and the elongation at break of the tensile test is significantly improved. Detailed implementation manners
