Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plastics, in particular to antistatic polylactic acid plastic particles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a typical bio-based degradable polymer material, polylactic acid is considered an ideal substitute for traditional petroleum-based plastics because its raw materials are derived from renewable resources such as corn and sugarcane, and it can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by microorganisms in the natural environment. It is widely used in packaging, textiles, medical devices, 3D printing and other fields. However, traditional PLA plastics have significant defects in actual applications: high surface resistivity, easy accumulation of static electricity, which can lead to dust absorption, damage to electronic components, and even increase the risk of flammable and explosive environments, seriously limiting its application in precision electronic packaging, anti-static industrial products and other fields. In the existing technology, the main methods to improve the antistatic properties of PLA include surface coating with antistatic agents, blending with conductive fillers and adding ionic antistatic agents, but these solutions all have obvious shortcomings. For example, the antistatic effect of surface coating is short-lived and easy to wear; although blended conductive fillers can provide long-term antistatic effect, they will significantly reduce the transparency and mechanical properties of PLA, and high addition amounts may increase processing difficulty; and although ionic antistatic agents can migrate to the surface of the material to absorb moisture to form a conductive layer, they are easily affected by environmental humidity and have poor dispersion in the PLA matrix, and long-term use may lead to precipitation and contamination of the product.

[0003] With the urgent global demand for environmentally friendly materials and the increasing demand for antistatic performance in the electronics and medical industries, the development of PLA particles that combine biodegradability with long-lasting antistatic properties has become a key research direction. Static electricity in traditional PLA not only affects product appearance and functionality but can also lead to bacterial adsorption in medical devices or electronic component failure, directly threatening application safety. Therefore, innovative preparation processes are urgently needed to achieve intrinsic optimization of antistatic properties while retaining PLA's inherent advantages. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an antistatic polylactic acid plastic particle and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an antistatic polylactic acid plastic particle, comprising the following preparation steps: (1) The biochar was transferred to a gas-phase sulfonation reactor, and sulfuric acid vapor was introduced at a flow rate of 20-30 mL / min. The reaction temperature was controlled to be 160-180 ° C and the pressure was 0.3 MPa, and the sulfonation treatment was carried out for 3-4 hours. After the treatment, the product was washed with deionized water for 3 times, and then vacuum-dried at 80 ° C for 12 hours with a vacuum degree of 0.085 MPa to obtain sulfonated biochar. 10 parts by weight of graphene oxide was dispersed in deionized water and ultrasonically treated for 30 minutes at a power of 600 W and a frequency of 40 kHz to disperse the product. Then, 80-100 parts by weight of polyethyleneimine solution was added, and the reaction was stirred at 60 ° C under nitrogen protection for 24 hours with a stirring speed of 120 rpm. The product was centrifuged at a speed of 10,000 rpm for 15 minutes to remove the ungrafted polyethyleneimine, and then vacuum-dried at 80 ° C with a vacuum degree of 0.085 MPa to obtain amino-hybrid graphene. (2) Sulfonated biochar and amino-modified hybrid graphene were mixed in a mass ratio of 7:2-4, and ethanol was added to prepare a solution with a concentration of 50 mg / mL. The mixture was then ultrasonically dispersed at a power of 800 W for 1 h. After the dispersion was completed, the ethanol was evaporated by stirring at 60 ° C at a stirring speed of 240 rpm for 4 h. The mixture was then vacuum dried at 80 ° C for 24 h with a vacuum degree of 0.085 MPa to obtain a composite filler. (3) 100 parts by weight of end-hydroxy polylactic acid and 6-10 parts of composite fillers were melt-blended in a twin-screw extruder at a melting temperature of 170-180°C and a rotation speed of 80-120 rpm, and pelletized to obtain master batches; the master batches were placed in a supercritical foaming device, injected with carbon dioxide, and saturated at a temperature of 130-140°C for 2 hours; after the reaction was completed, the pressure was released to obtain porous particles; (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride was dissolved in ethanol, and then added to the porous particles, and the porous particles were soaked at a temperature of 50°C and a vacuum degree of -0.08 MPa for 4 hours; finally, vacuum dried at 60°C for 24 hours with a vacuum degree of 0.0085 MPa to remove the residual solvent and obtain antistatic polylactic acid plastic particles.

[0006] Furthermore, the preparation method of biochar in step (1) is as follows: 100 parts by weight of lignin powder with a particle size of 60-80 μm is placed in a quartz boat of a tubular furnace, heated to 550-650° C. at 5° C. / min under a nitrogen atmosphere, and carbonized for 2 h to obtain biochar.

[0007] Furthermore, in step (1), the sulfuric acid vapor is generated by evaporating 98% concentrated sulfuric acid at 200°C.

[0008] Furthermore, the concentration of graphene oxide in step (1) is 1 mg / mL.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (1), the diameter of the graphene oxide sheet is 5-20 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the concentration of the polyethyleneimine solution in step (1) is 10 wt%.

[0011] Furthermore, when carbon dioxide is injected in step (3), the pressure reaches 25 MPa.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure relief rate in step (3) is 50-100 MPa / s.

[0013] Furthermore, the concentration of (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride in step (3) is 20 wt%.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (3), the mass ratio of the porous particles to (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride is 3-5:1.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention takes bio-based functional fillers and multi-level composite structure design as the core to achieve the antistatic and environmentally friendly effects of polylactic acid plastic.

[0016] First, sulfonated biochar was prepared via a vapor-phase sulfonation process using lignin as a biomass precursor. Its surface is rich in sulfonic acid groups, which form a dynamic ion-conducting network through proton dissociation of the sulfonic acid groups in a humid environment. Graphene oxide was then modified with polyethyleneimine. A positively charged hybrid graphene was constructed through covalent grafting and physical coating of amino groups onto the epoxy groups on the graphene oxide surface. The amino groups in the hybrid graphene enhanced the hygroscopicity of the polylactic acid surface, creating continuous water molecule channels. Combined with the graphene permeation network, this enabled rapid charge dissipation in the bulk. To achieve efficient two-phase composites, a dual mechanism of π-π stacking and electrostatic adsorption was employed. The lignin-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structure and the sp² carbon layers of the hybrid graphene were tightly stacked through π-π interactions. The sulfonated biochar and amino groups were then electrostatically attracted to form a composite filler with a synergistic "chemical bond-physical interaction" interface.

[0017] Secondly, the hydroxy-terminated polylactic acid is combined with composite fillers to foam into porous plastic particles, which are then impregnated with ionic liquid to improve conductivity. The hydroxyl groups at the end of the hydroxyl-terminated polylactic acid (PLA) molecular chains provide unique reactive sites for functional modification. They react with residual amino groups on the hybrid graphene surface through a condensation reaction, forming chemical grafts. The graphene's sp² carbon layers generate dipole-π interactions with the ester groups of the PLA backbone, significantly improving the filler's interfacial compatibility. The two-dimensional barrier effect of graphene sheets refines the pore size during supercritical CO2 foaming. Hydroxyl groups form dynamic crosslinks through a hydrogen-bonding network with sulfonic acid groups generated by proton dissociation of sulfonated biochar. This not only inhibits cell collapse but also serves as anchor points for an ionic "highway," providing active sites for subsequent ionic liquid loading. Finally, a choline-based ionic liquid is introduced into the porous PLA backbone via an impregnation method. The choline cations form stable ion pairs with the sulfonic acid through strong electrostatic interactions, while the anions of the ionic liquid bind to the residual amino groups of the hybrid graphene through hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole interactions, forming a three-dimensional ionic conductive network throughout the PLA-filler interface. This synergistic effect of the three components creates an "electron-ion" dual-mechanism for conductivity, endowing the material with excellent antistatic properties. And the material still maintains its environmentally friendly characteristics and has an excellent biodegradability rate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Table 1

[0030] Comparison of the experimental data for volume and surface resistivity in the examples and comparative examples reveals that the present invention utilizes lignin as a biomass precursor and produces sulfonated biochar via a vapor-phase sulfonation process. The biochar's surface is rich in sulfonic acid groups, which form a dynamic ionic conductive network through proton dissociation of the sulfonic acid groups in a humid environment. Graphene oxide is modified with polyethyleneimine, and positively charged hybrid graphene is constructed through covalent grafting and physical coating of amino groups with epoxy groups on the graphene oxide surface. The amino groups in the hybrid graphene enhance the hygroscopicity of the polylactic acid surface, creating continuous water molecule channels. Combined with the graphene permeation network, this allows for rapid bulk charge dissipation. To achieve efficient two-phase composites, a dual mechanism of π-π stacking and electrostatic adsorption is employed. The lignin-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon structure and the sp² carbon layers of the hybrid graphene are tightly stacked through π-π interactions, while the sulfonated biochar and amino groups are electrostatically attracted to form a composite filler with a synergistic "chemical bond-physical interaction" interface. Furthermore, the hydroxyl-terminated polylactic acid is combined with the composite filler to form porous plastic particles, which are then impregnated with an ionic liquid to improve conductivity. The hydroxyl groups at the end of the hydroxyl-terminated polylactic acid (PLA) molecular chains provide unique reactive sites for functional modification. They react with residual amino groups on the hybrid graphene surface through a condensation reaction, forming chemical grafts. The graphene's sp² carbon layers generate dipole-π interactions with the ester groups of the PLA backbone, significantly improving the filler's interfacial compatibility. The two-dimensional barrier effect of graphene sheets refines the pore size during supercritical CO2 foaming. Hydroxyl groups form dynamic crosslinks through a hydrogen-bonding network with sulfonic acid groups generated by proton dissociation of sulfonated biochar. This not only inhibits cell collapse but also serves as anchor points for an ionic "highway," providing active sites for subsequent ionic liquid loading. Finally, a choline-based ionic liquid is introduced into the porous PLA backbone via an impregnation method. The choline cations form stable ion pairs with the sulfonic acid through strong electrostatic interactions, while the anions of the ionic liquid bind to the residual amino groups of the hybrid graphene through hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole interactions, forming a three-dimensional ionic conductive network throughout the PLA-filler interface. This synergistic effect of the three components creates an "electron-ion" dual-mechanism for conductivity, endowing the material with excellent antistatic properties. From the comparison of the experimental data of the degradation rates of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the material used in the present invention still maintains the environmental protection characteristics and has an excellent biodegradation rate.
