[0002] Thermoplastic elastomer TPE, also known as artificial rubber or synthetic rubber. Its products have both the excellent properties of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber such as high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance, and at the same time have the characteristics of convenient processing and a wide range of processing methods of ordinary plastics.

[0003] TPE materials generally use fossil resources as the base material, but it is difficult to meet the requirements of sustainable development with fossil resources as the base material, so it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to meet the sustainable development requirements of TPE thermoelastic materials, this application provides a bio-based TPE thermoelastic material.

[0005] The bio-based TPE thermoelastic material provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions: A bio-based TPE thermoelastic material, comprising the following components in parts by mass: 50 - 100 parts of bio-based SEBS, 50 - 100 parts of white oil, 100 - 200 parts of bio-based raw materials, 50 - 100 parts of bio-based fillers, 5 - 10 parts of anti-UV agent, 5 - 10 parts of antioxidant; The bio-based raw materials include any one or a mixture of bio-based PE, bio-based EVA, bio-based TPU, and bio-based POE; The bio-based fillers include bamboo fiber composites and lignin composites, and the lignin composites include lignin, 3 - 2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and silver nanoparticles.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, using renewable bio-based materials such as bio-based SEBS, bio-based PE, bio-based EVA, bio-based TPU, bio-based POE, etc., through the transformation of bio-based TPE, the sustainable development requirements of TPE elastomers are further improved, thereby enhancing the green environmental protection performance of TPE elastomers; at the same time, the bio-based filler prepared by adding bamboo limiting complex and lignin complex can effectively reduce the carbon footprint, thereby further enhancing the sustainable development performance of the thermoelastic body. The lignin complex is prepared from lignin, 3-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride and nano silver. Lignin is a natural macromolecular compound with high calorific value and carbon content, which can effectively improve the tensile strength of the thermoelastic body. 3-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride becomes amphoteric, which can further enhance the stability of lignin, interact with the molecular chains of the thermoelastic body, reduce the deformation effect of the system when stressed, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the system. At the same time, lignin has certain antioxidant properties, which can improve the heat resistance and stability of the thermoelastic body. After adding nano silver particles, not only can the antibacterial performance of the thermoelastic body be further improved, but also the stress can be effectively transmitted and dispersed, making the strength of the elastomer improved.

[0007] Preferably, the lignin complex is prepared by the following method: Mix lignin with water to obtain a lignin solution, adjust the lignin solution to alkaline with sodium hydroxide solution, heat up, add 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and maintain the alkalinity with sodium hydroxide solution at the same time. After the reaction, cool and dialyze, and then freeze-dry to obtain amphoteric lignin; mix the prepared amphoteric lignin, nano silver particles and absolute ethanol to obtain a mixed solution, then centrifuge the mixed solution to separate the solid phase and the liquid phase, wash the solid phase and centrifuge again, and freeze-dry to obtain the lignin complex.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, a large number of positively charged groups are contained in the structure of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride. After modification with lignin, the obtained amphoteric lignin contains negatively charged groups and positively charged groups, thereby further enhancing the stability of the prepared amphoteric lignin and making the combination with nano silver particles more stable, thereby further enhancing the strength and antibacterial performance of the lignin complex.

[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, lignin and nano silver is (1.7-1.9):1:2.4.

[0012] By adopting the above technical scheme, bamboo fibers have the advantages of high strength, high hardness, etc. When added to the system, they can effectively improve the bonding performance among various components in the system. Then, by modifying the bamboo fibers with dopamine, the performance of the interface of the bamboo-limited reinforced composite material can be further enhanced, and the free hydroxyl groups on the surface of the bamboo fibers can be reduced, lowering the surface polarity. At the same time, the thermal stability of the system can be further improved. Introducing alumina particles as toughening fillers can further enhance the overall impact resistance of the body, thereby further improving the stability of the thermoelastic body.

[0013] Preferably, the modified alumina is prepared by the following method: Mix absolute ethanol and a citric acid solution, then add the silane coupling agent KH-560, stir magnetically, and let it stand to obtain a silane coupling agent solution. Add nano-alumina to the silane coupling agent solution, stir magnetically, then heat in a water bath, continue to stir magnetically, pour out the supernatant after cooling, separate by suction filtration, wash, and then dry in vacuum to obtain modified alumina.

[0014] Nano-alumina has high free energy and a high specific surface area. The hydroxyl groups adsorbed on the surface of nano-alumina form hydrogen bonds, resulting in agglomeration, which affects the overall stability of the system. By adopting the above technical scheme, after modifying the surface of alumina with a silane coupling agent, the dispersion uniformity of alumina in the system is improved, and the stability of the prepared elastomer material is further enhanced.

[0015] Preferably, the mass concentration of KH-560 in the silane coupling agent solution is 1.9 - 2.1%.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, preferably, the mass concentration of KH-560 is within the above range, which can further improve the stability of the prepared modified alumina.

[0017] Preferably, the bamboo fiber composite material is prepared by the following method: Mix deionized water and Tris buffer solution to obtain a Tris solution. Add hydrochloric acid dopamine to the Tris solution and stir to obtain a dopamine dispersion. Immerse bamboo fibers in the dopamine dispersion, filter, wash, and then dry to obtain modified bamboo fibers. Mix the modified bamboo fibers, modified alumina and polyethylene terephthalate to obtain a bamboo fiber composite material.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bamboo fiber modified by dopamine is combined with the modified alumina, the performance of the prepared bamboo fiber composite material can be synergistically improved, the toughness of the elastic material is further improved, and the binding performance of each component in the system is improved, further enhancing the stability of the prepared elastomer.

[0019] Preferably, the mass ratio of the modified bamboo fiber, the modified alumina to polyethylene terephthalate is 1:(0.06 - 0.1):2.2.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, preferably, the mass ratio of the bamboo fiber, dopamine to the modified alumina is within the above range, which can further improve the overall stability of the prepared bamboo fiber composite material.

[0021] Preferably, the mass ratio of the bamboo fiber composite material to the lignin complex is (1.4 - 1.6):1.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, preferably, the mass ratio of the bamboo fiber composite material to the lignin complex is within the above range, which can further improve the stability of the elastomer.

[0023] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Adding bio-based raw materials based on bio-based PE, bio-based EVA, bio-based TPU, and bio-based POE to the system, thereby improving the green environmental protection performance of the thermoelastic material.

After adding nano silver ions, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of the thermoelastic material are improved, thus extending the service life of the thermoelastic material; 2. After modifying lignin with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride to obtain amphoteric lignin, the stability and loading rate of lignin in the system are effectively improved, thereby improving the loading rate of nano silver particles and further enhancing the comprehensive performance of the lignin complex; 3. Modifying bamboo fiber with dopamine and then combining it with the modified alumina to prepare a bamboo fiber composite material.

[0047] Example 11 Example 11 is based on Example 3. The difference between Example 11 and Example 3 is that when preparing the bio-based filler in Example 11, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride is not added.

[0048] Example 12 Example 12 is based on Example 3. The difference between Example 12 and Example 3 is that when preparing the bio-based filler in Example 12, nano silver particles are not added.

[0049] Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 1 is based on Example 3. In Comparative Example 1, the bamboo fiber composite material in the bio-based filler is replaced by an equal amount of ordinary bamboo fiber.

[0050] Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 2 is based on Example 3. In Comparative Example 2, the lignin complex in the bio-based filler is replaced by an equal amount of lignin.

[0051] Performance detection test The following performance tests are carried out on the specimens of Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-2: (1) Antibacterial performance test: Taking "GB21551.2-2010 1" as the detection standard, sampling and detecting the specimens, each specimen is detected 3 times, and the detection results are filled in Table 1; (2) Tensile strength performance test: Taking "ASTM D412" as the detection standard, detecting the specimens, each specimen is detected 3 times, taking the average value, and filling the test results in Table 1; (3) Thermal aging performance test According to GB / T2951.12, evaluate the short-term aging resistance test of the above test samples, the aging test conditions are 158 °C, the aging period is 168 h, and 180 °C, 168 h; Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-12 and Comparative Examples 1-2 As can be seen from Table 1, the antibacterial grades of Examples 1-3 are all Grade 1, indicating that the thermoelastic body prepared in this application has good antibacterial properties; the tensile strengths of Examples 1-3 are all 32 MPa or above, indicating that the thermoelastic body prepared in this application has good strength; after thermal aging of Examples 1-3, the retention rates of tensile strength are all above 87%, indicating that the thermoelastic body prepared in this application has good thermal aging resistance.

[0052] In Examples 4 and 5 during the preparation of the lignin complex, the mass ratios among lignin, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride, and silver nanoparticles are not within the scope defined in this application. When the content of lignin is too low, it is difficult for excessive silver nanoparticles to be further loaded onto lignin, resulting in a decrease in the content of silver nanoparticles, a decline in the overall antibacterial performance of the system, and it is also difficult to further improve the overall strength and stability of the system. Moreover, the synergistic antibacterial performance between lignin and silver nanoparticles also decreases. When the content of lignin is too high, it is difficult for 3-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride to modify excessive lignin, and it is difficult to further improve the stability of lignin. At the same time, the content of silver nanoparticles decreases, and it is also difficult to further increase the loading rate of lignin on silver nanoparticles, affecting the overall performance of the system. Therefore, the antibacterial performance, strength, and aging resistance of Examples 4 and 5 are all affected.

[0053] In Examples 6 and 7 during the preparation of modified alumina, the concentrations of KH-560 in the silane coupling agent solution are not within the scope defined in this application. When the concentration of KH-560 is too low, it is difficult to further modify alumina, and it is difficult to improve the dispersibility of alumina, resulting in agglomeration in the system and affecting the overall stability of the system; when the concentration of KH-560 is too high, it will cause the surface active sites of alumina to be overly saturated, and it will also cause alumina to agglomerate, resulting in a decrease in stability. Therefore, the performance of Examples 6 and 7 both decreases.

[0054] In Examples 8 and 9 during the preparation of the bamboo fiber composite, the mass ratios among the modified bamboo fiber, modified alumina, and polyethylene terephthalate are not within the scope defined in this application. When the content of modified alumina is too low, it is difficult to synergistically improve the strength of the thermoelastic body with the bamboo fiber, so it is difficult to improve the strength of the prepared thermoelastic body material; when the content of modified alumina is too high, it is difficult to improve the dispersion performance of excessive modified alumina in the system, resulting in agglomeration in the system and affecting the overall stability of the system. Therefore, the comprehensive performance of Examples 8 and 9 both decreases.

[0055] In the bamboo fiber composite material of Example 10, the bamboo fibers were not modified. It is difficult to further improve the bonding performance among the various components in the system with unmodified bamboo fibers, and the connection stability of the system decreased, so the strength of Example 10 decreased.

[0056] In the bamboo fiber composite material of Example 11, the alumina was not modified. It is difficult to further improve the dispersion performance of unmodified alumina, and it agglomerated in the system, affecting the overall stability of the system, so the performance of Example 11 decreased.

[0057] In Example 12, when preparing the bio-based filler, 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride was not added, and the lignin was not modified. It is difficult to further improve the stability of unmodified lignin, and it is also difficult to further improve the loading performance for silver nanoparticles, so the performance of Example 12 decreased.

[0058] In Example 13, when preparing the bio-based filler, silver nanoparticles were not added. It is difficult to further improve the antibacterial performance of the lignin complex without silver nanoparticles, and it is also difficult to further improve the overall strength of the system, so the performance of Example 13 decreased.

[0059] In Comparative Example 1, the bamboo fiber composite material was replaced with ordinary bamboo fibers. In Comparative Example 2, the lignin complex was replaced with an equal amount of lignin. It is difficult to further improve the overall performance of the system with only ordinary bamboo fibers or ordinary lignin, so the performance of both Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 decreased.

Through the above description, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of this application. The technical scope of this application is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
