Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of papermaking, and in particular to a method for preparing a multifunctional special paper coating. Background Art
[0002] Multifunctional specialty paper coatings, by applying specific materials to the paper surface, impart multiple functions such as waterproofing, antifouling, chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy, and super-hydrophobicity. These coatings are widely used in packaging, printing, industry, and environmental protection. With its customizable functionality and environmental advantages, specialty paper has become a key material in packaging, medical, electronics, and other fields.
[0003] Driven by the "plastic restriction" policy, demand for products such as food greaseproof paper and medical dialysis paper has surged, with the global market expected to exceed 200 billion yuan in 2024. However, high-end products still rely on imports. In recent years, with increasing environmental protection requirements, water-based coating materials have become a research hotspot, as they reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and align with the trend of green manufacturing.
[0004] Current research focuses on technologies such as water-based coatings and nanofiber reinforcement to address pollution and import issues with traditional PE coatings. The development of biodegradable, high-temperature-resistant specialty paper can not only meet the needs of cutting-edge industries such as aerospace, but also promote the green transformation of the packaging industry, with dual strategic significance for achieving the "dual carbon" goals and industrial upgrading. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention mainly solves the deficiencies in the existing technology and provides a method for preparing a multifunctional specialty paper coating. By combining bamboo and hemp fibers with nano-modification technology, it solves the technical bottleneck of non-degradable and single-function traditional coated paper. Its flame retardant (UL94 V-0), antibacterial (antibacterial rate > 99%) and wide temperature tolerance (-40~200°C) properties can replace plastic packaging in high-end fields such as electronics and medical care. Functionally, it integrates the PLA-PBAT copolymer coating system with the graphene conductive network to achieve mechanical strength (Shore D65), antistatic (10 6 The synergistic optimization of Ω / sq) and biodegradation has demonstration value in promoting the green transformation of the packaging industry.
[0006] The above technical problems of the present invention are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a multifunctional specialty paper coating comprises the following steps: The first step is to create the base paper. The pulp fibers are a bamboo / hemp pulp composite, modified by the addition of PLA staple fibers. This enhances the interfacial bonding with the plant fibers, increasing the fiber density and tear resistance. After thorough mixing, the paper is rolled and ready for use without drying.
[0007] The second step is to prepare the coating solution. PLA-PBAT copolymer is used as the film-forming material. 2-3 wt% of nanocellulose crystals (CNC) are introduced to enhance the coating's puncture resistance through hydrogen bonding. A mixture of ethanol and water is added as a diluent to adjust the coating solution's viscosity and ensure uniform coating.
[0008] Step 3: Add biodegradable polyester and hexamethylene diisocyanate to the coating liquid I and mix them thoroughly.

Obtain coating solution III, which is then magnetically stirred for 30 minutes.
[0011] By controlling the powder particle size and distribution, the uniformity and adhesion of the coating layer can be optimized, imparting waterproof and oil-resistant properties to paper products. Nano-calcium carbonate is low-cost and provides a certain degree of adhesion.

[0015] Preferably, the PLA-PBAT copolymer ratio is 3:7, which has both high ductility and rapid degradation performance, and the high ductility means the elongation at break is greater than 300%; the ratio of ethanol to water is 1:1 to 1:3.
[0016] Preferably, 1 to 2 wt% of phosphorus-based flame retardant is added to give the material UL94 V-0 flame retardant properties; 0.5 wt% of nano zinc oxide particles are mixed to achieve antibacterial function, with an antibacterial rate of >99%.

Curing agent: Environmentally friendly fluorine-free waterproof coating curing agent: Accelerates resin cross-linking reaction, improving the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the film. Defoaming agent: Polyether-modified silicone oil: Compatible with water-based and solvent-based coatings, suppresses spray foam while preventing craters and dynamic surface tension. Heat these materials in a magnetic stirrer to 60-80°C and mix thoroughly for 5-6 hours. Allow to cool naturally to obtain coating solution I.

[0027] The technical solution of the invention is further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, a method for preparing a multifunctional specialty paper coating includes the following steps: Step 1: Prepare the base paper. The pulp fibers are a bamboo pulp / hemp pulp composite fiber with a weight ratio of 6:4. PLA staple fibers are added for modification. The diameter of the PLA staple fibers is ≤0.5 mm, and the PLA content is 25-30% by weight. After thorough mixing, the paper is prepared. After rolling, the paper is ready for use without drying.
[0029] The second step is to prepare the coating solution, using a PLA-PBAT copolymer as the film-forming material in a 3:7 ratio. This copolymer exhibits both high ductility and rapid degradation, with high ductility (elongation at break exceeding 300%). 2-3wt% nanocellulose crystals are introduced to enhance the coating's puncture resistance through hydrogen bonding. A mixture of ethanol and water is added as a diluent, with a ratio of ethanol to water ranging from 1:1 to 1:3.
[0030] Adding 1-2 wt% of phosphorus-based flame retardant imparts UL94 V-0 flame retardancy to the material. Mixing in 0.5 wt% of nano zinc oxide particles provides antibacterial properties.
[0031] Step 3: Add biodegradable polyester and hexamethylene diisocyanate to the coating liquid I and mix them thoroughly. The ratio of PBAT-based polyester and hexamethylene diisocyanate is 1:1 to 1:2. Add a certain amount of trimethylolpropane to obtain coating liquid II, introduce fluorine-modified polysiloxane, and the addition amount of fluorine-modified polysiloxane is 3wt% to make the coating layer withstand the alternating temperature from -40°C to 200°C.
[0032] Adding polyester PET powder, it has high mechanical strength and chemical corrosion resistance, and is used for special packaging that requires high barrier properties and durability, such as anti-static packaging for electronic products.
[0033] Step 4: Add needle-shaped crystalline calcium carbonate to the coating liquid II, and the addition amount of needle-shaped crystalline calcium carbonate is 4-6wt%; at the same time, add 0.3wt% polyether modified siloxane leveling agent and 0.5wt% graphene; obtain coating liquid III, and then the coating liquid needs to be magnetically stirred for 30 minutes.
[0034] Step 5: Carry out laminating treatment. Preheat the paper prepared in the first step to 60-80°C, and then use a shower to spray laminating liquid III. The amount of laminating liquid III used is 20-30g per square meter of paper.
[0035] Step 6: Drying treatment: Place the paper after the spraying treatment in the third step in a drying oven for drying treatment at a temperature of 50 to 80°C.
[0036] Step 7: Curing treatment: send the dried paper to the UV curing room to cross-link and cure the cross-linked substances in the coating solution.
[0037] The curing process utilizes a three-zone gradient heating system: 120°C → 140°C → 130°C, with a dwell time of 15 seconds in each zone to prevent thermal deformation of the PLA fibers. The radiation distance is adjusted to 12±1cm, and the heat flux is stabilized at 900-1100W / m²5. A dual-frequency coupling mode with a power of 100kHz / 300kHz is used to achieve gradient curing of the coating layer, with a cure rate of >95% for the surface layer and >85% for the base layer. A dynamic pressure of 0.4-0.6MPa is simultaneously applied, reducing the dwell time to 6-8 seconds.
[0038] Use staged cooling: 120℃→80℃ air cooling→50℃ water mist cooling, and control the cooling rate to ≤5℃ / second.
[0039] Figure 1 The tear strength test results of specialty paper with different PLA staple fiber contents are presented. The results show that PLA staple fiber content has a significant impact on the tear strength of specialty paper. After comprehensively considering performance and cost, the PLA staple fiber content was selected to be 25-30%.
[0040] Figure 2 The effects of varying cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) content on the puncture resistance of specialty paper coatings are reported. The results show that the CNC content significantly influences the puncture resistance of specialty paper coatings. After considering both performance and cost, a CNC content of 2 to 3 wt% was selected.
[0041] Figure 3 The effects of different hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene contents on the flame retardancy of specialty paper are reported. The results show that the hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene content significantly influences the flame retardancy of specialty paper. After considering both performance and cost, a hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene content of 1 to 2 wt% was selected.
[0042] Figure 4 The results of tests comparing the surface resistance of specialty paper with varying graphene content are presented. The results show that graphene content significantly influences the surface resistance of specialty paper. When 0.5 wt% graphene is added, the surface resistance drops to 6.68 × 10⁷ Ω / sq, meeting antistatic requirements and capable of shielding some electromagnetic signals. Therefore, after comprehensive cost considerations, a 0.5 wt% graphene content was selected.
[0043] In summary, the preparation method of the multifunctional specialty paper coating adopts a PLA staple fiber content of 25-30 wt% to enhance the interfacial bonding force with the plant fiber and improve the fiber interweaving density and tear strength.
[0044] By introducing 1-2 wt% of phosphorus-based flame retardants (such as hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene) into the laminating liquid of paper products, the material is given UL94 V-0 flame retardant properties, significantly improving the flame retardant properties of special paper materials.
[0045] By introducing 2-3 wt% nanocellulose crystals (CNC) into the paper product coating solution, the puncture resistance of the coating can be effectively improved by utilizing hydrogen bonds and intermolecular interactions between surface groups.
[0046] During the curing process, the traditional one-step heating and cooling treatment method is abandoned, and gradient heating, gradient curing and step-by-step cooling methods are adopted, which is beneficial to the ductility and uniformity of the specialty paper coating and ultimately improves the service life of the specialty paper.
[0047] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in this field within the scope of the present invention are included in the patent scope of the present invention.
