Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plastic preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-toughness transparent plastic cup. Background Art

[0002] With the development of plastics and growing awareness of environmental protection, plastics are gradually shifting towards biodegradability and recycling. In particular, the widespread use of single-use plastics, coupled with their difficulty in degradation and inadequate recycling, poses a significant threat to soil, water, marine ecosystems, and even human health.

[0003] Biodegradable plastics are primarily categorized by source, including petroleum-based plastics, bio-based plastics, and CO2-based plastics. Bio-based plastics are further divided into plant-based biodegradable plastics and microbial-based biodegradable plastics. Plant-based biodegradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are plastic products made from plants.

[0004] Polylactic acid (PLA) possesses excellent mechanical strength and rigidity, with a transparency exceeding 90%. However, PLA suffers from poor toughness due to its slow crystallization rate. Therefore, PLA modification is necessary. Among the many modification methods, elastomer toughening is a common approach. However, this technology suffers from the technical bottleneck of "toughening without strengthening," making it difficult to achieve a synergistic improvement in toughness and strength.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a method for preparing a high-toughness transparent plastic cup to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The mixture was mixed at this temperature for 10-15 min, and the modified elastomer toughening agent was obtained after cooling.

[0013] 2. Preparation of cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer:

[0015] (2) adding bamboo pulp to deionized water, heating in a water bath to swell the bamboo pulp fibers, and filtering to obtain a bamboo pulp dispersion;

[0017] (4) Slowly adding the CA-PO3G mixture into the bamboo pulp dispersion, stirring, homogenizing and then drying to obtain the cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer;

[0018] 3. Weigh cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer, modified elastomer toughening agent and polylactic acid to prepare high-toughness polylactic acid:

[0019] 4. Use the above-mentioned high-toughness polylactic acid to prepare high-toughness transparent plastic cups.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 1, the isosorbide-based plasticizer is isosorbide dibutyrate or isosorbide dibutyrate.

[0021] Furthermore, in step 1, citric acid powder with a particle size of less than 74 μm is used.

[0022] Furthermore, in step 2, bamboo pulp is used.

[0023] Furthermore, in step 2, the mixture is stirred with a high-speed shearing machine for 15 to 20 minutes at a rotation speed of 10,000 to 12,000 rpm; and homogenized with a high-pressure homogenizer at 30 to 35° C. and 30 to 40 MPa.

[0024] Furthermore, in step three, 10-15% of cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer and 17-28% of modified elastomer toughening agent are weighed according to the following mass percentages, and the balance is polylactic acid.

[0025] Furthermore, in step three, polylactic acid and cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer are mixed at 40-60°C for 3-5 minutes, and then a modified elastomer toughening agent is added, and the mixture is continued for 10-15 minutes, and then melt-extruded to obtain high-toughness polylactic acid.

It is suitable for use in disposable food containers or disposable medical supplies. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0085] Comparative Example 4: Compared with Example 3, the difference is that the preparation method of the cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer is different, and the other steps are the same. The preparation method of the cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer is as follows:

[0086] (1) Weigh 6.4% cinnamaldehyde (CA), 30% bamboo pulp, 8.8% bio-based 1,3-propylene glycol (PO3G) according to the following mass percentages, and the balance is water;

[0087] (2) Add bamboo pulp to deionized water and heat in a water bath at 88°C for 35 min to swell the bamboo pulp fibers. Filter and remove coarse fiber impurities with a particle size greater than 75 μm to obtain a bamboo pulp dispersion.

[0088] (3) The bamboo pulp dispersion, bio-based 1,3-propylene glycol and cinnamaldehyde were mixed for 40 min and dried to obtain the cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer.

[0089] Experimental example:

[0090] The high-toughness transparent plastic cups prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were subjected to the following performance tests:

[0091] 1. Tensile properties (GB / T 1040.2-2022, tensile rate 50 mm / min).

[0092] 2. Impact toughness (GB / T 9341-2008, notch 2mm, angle 45°).

[0093] 3. Antibacterial properties (GB / T 31402-2023): Staphylococcus aureus.

[0094] 4. Biodegradability (GB / T 41010-2021): Biodegradable under mature composting conditions (test period: 120 days).

[0095] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0096] Table 1 Performance test table

[0097] Serial number Tensile yield strength MPa Elongation at break % <![CDATA[Notch impact strength kJ / m 2 > Antibacterial rate% Biodegradation rate% Example 1 51.3 100.9 18.82 99.3 97.09 Example 2 53.7 97.4 20.14 99.5 96.27 Example 3 52.1 101.3 19.47 99.4 97.51 Comparative Example 1 45.2 64.2 9.17 99.3 96.15 Comparative Example 2 49.3 70.9 13.4 99.2 97.21 Comparative Example 3 52.2 89.4 15.67 94.4 95.07 Comparative Example 4 47.2 92.7 16.92 96.8 96.13

[0098] As can be seen from Table 1, the tensile yield strength of Examples 1 to 3 is stable at above 50 MPa; the elongation at break is 97.4-101.3%, with excellent toughness; and the notched impact strength is 18.82-20.14 kJ / m 2 , strong impact resistance; the antibacterial rate is 99.3~99.5%, and it has excellent inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus; the biodegradation rate is 96.27~97.51%, and it has excellent biodegradability.

[0099] It can be seen from Example 3, Comparative Example 1 (lacking two simultaneous stretchings), and Comparative Example 2 (only one simultaneous stretching) that the lack of two simultaneous stretchings will result in insufficient orientation of the PCL molecular chains, the elastomer cannot form a uniformly dispersed microphase structure, and the strength and toughness are reduced. Although only one simultaneous stretching can increase the toughness to a certain extent, the improvement effect is limited; a reasonable design of the "two simultaneous stretching" process has a synergistic enhancement effect on toughness enhancement.

[0100] It can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 (imbalanced ratio of cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antibacterial enhancer) that the reduction in the proportion of bamboo pulp leads to a reduction in bamboo pulp fiber, affecting the cinnamaldehyde loading effect. At the same time, the rigid support effect of bamboo pulp fiber is reduced, affecting the toughness and antibacterial effect.

[0101] It can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 4 that: pre-mixing bio-based 1,3-propylene glycol with cinnamaldehyde to form a CA-PO3G mixed liquid, and then stirring it with the bamboo pulp dispersion at high speed and homogenizing it under high pressure, can improve the stability of the antibacterial component, strengthen the bamboo pulp fiber to form a "rigid support point" in the matrix, avoid the agglomeration of bamboo pulp fibers, and further improve the strength, toughness and antibacterial effect.

[0102] This invention utilizes a modified elastomer toughening agent, cinnamaldehyde bamboo pulp antimicrobial enhancer, and polylactic acid to produce a highly tough transparent plastic cup. The cup exhibits high strength, excellent toughness, strong Staphylococcus aureus inhibition, and biodegradability. It is suitable for use in disposable food containers or medical supplies.

[0103] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
