Corrugated boxes are required to not only protect goods and facilitate transportation, but also display goods, beautify goods, and promote sales. Therefore, people are no longer satisfied with the rough production, poor printing quality, and monotonous pattern of single-color carton printing. Cartons are developing towards multi-color and image dot printing.
[0003] Chinese patent CN118880666B relates to the technical field of cardboard products and discloses an environmentally friendly mildew-proof and antibacterial corrugated cardboard and its preparation method.

At the same time, the dimethylol urea and oligomers in the urea-formaldehyde resin undergo cross-linking reaction with the hydroxyl groups in the starch molecules to form a cross-linked network structure, which prevents water molecules from penetrating into the paper, thereby improving the bonding strength and water resistance of the corrugated cardboard.

[0008] The starch is one of wheat starch, potato starch, corn starch and tapioca starch.
[0009] The preheating cylinder heats the base paper by passing steam inside, thereby removing moisture from the base paper and improving its strength; the preheating temperature is 120-150°C.
[0010] The single-corrugated paper machine presses the base paper into corrugated paper through upper and lower corrugated rollers, and then passes through the gluing machine to glue the base paper and the inner paper to form corrugated paper; the preheating temperature is 120-180℃.
[0011] The hot plate part of the laminating machine has 16 hot plates with a width of 600 mm, and high-temperature steam is passed through the inside with a temperature of 120-180°C.
[0012] The NC cross-cutting knife adopts a thin blade with a blade diameter of 270MM and a minimum cutting distance of 135MM.
[0013] Reaction mechanism 1. Reaction of amino starch with cardanol glycidyl ether: Cardanol glycidyl ether (CGE) is an epoxy compound containing a benzene ring and a long unsaturated fatty chain; during the reaction, the amino group of amino starch undergoes a ring-opening addition reaction with the epoxy group of CGE to form a stable chemical bond.
[0014] 2. Reaction of amino starch and epoxy succinic acid polymer: Epoxy succinic acid polymer is a type of polymer material containing multiple epoxy groups; the amino group of amino starch reacts with these epoxy groups to form stable chemical bonds.
[0015] 3. Reaction of amino starch with triallyl borate: Triallyl borate (BTE) is a compound containing multiple allyl groups that can undergo addition reaction with amino groups; this reaction introduces more flexible chain segments, further improving the toughness and impact resistance of the material.
[0016] Technical Effects The starch grafted with functional groups such as cardanol, succinic acid, and borate obtained by the above reaction is used to prepare ultra-tough biodegradable natural polymer composite environmentally friendly corrugated paperboard, which has the following technical effects: 1. Improved Toughness: The introduction of flexible segments and a reinforced cross-linked network structure significantly enhances the material's toughness, maintaining its integrity under significant external forces and making it less susceptible to fracture. By introducing flexible long cardanol chains and an allyl structure, the material's molecular chains become more compliant, allowing them to deform under external forces, thereby absorbing significant energy and reducing brittle fracture. The enhanced cross-linked network structure effectively disperses stress, preventing crack propagation and significantly improving the material's mechanical properties and durability.
[0017] 2. Enhanced biodegradability: Using natural cardanol and starch as raw materials, the prepared material has good biodegradability and can be decomposed in the natural environment, reducing pollution to the environment.
[0018] 3. Improved processing performance: Since the molecular structure of the material has been optimized, it exhibits better fluidity and formability during processing and is suitable for a variety of processing techniques, such as injection molding, extrusion, etc.
[0019] 4. Broad application prospects: The obtained material has excellent mechanical properties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
