Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biodegradable materials technology, and in particular to a biodegradable agricultural functional film and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, agricultural films are widely used as an important production material for heat preservation, moisture retention, and weed control, playing a vital role in improving crop yield and quality. However, traditional agricultural films are mostly made of non-degradable plastic materials, which leave a large amount of plastic waste in the soil after long-term use, causing serious soil pollution and ecological damage, which does not meet the requirements of sustainable development in modern agriculture.

[0003] With increasing environmental awareness, biodegradable agricultural films have gradually become a research hotspot. However, existing biodegradable agricultural films have certain functional limitations. Most products only have a single degradation function, making it difficult to simultaneously meet multiple agricultural production needs such as anti-aging and anti-fogging. For example, some biodegradable films are easily affected by the external environment during long-term use, leading to aging and damage and shortening their service life. In environments with large temperature and humidity fluctuations, fogging is easily generated on the film surface, affecting light transmittance and hindering crop photosynthesis. At the same time, the high-quality development of modern agriculture has also put forward new requirements for the functionality of agricultural films. Therefore, functional films such as green, blue, red, purple, silver-gray, and black agricultural films have emerged. However, the above-mentioned functional films with basic colors have the following problems during use: the temperature under the film rises sharply in strong sunlight, causing seedlings to be scalded or die; if perforations are made for heat dissipation, the temperature under the film cannot be guaranteed at night or in low-temperature weather, because perforation causes irreversible damage to the agricultural film. How to design an agricultural functional film that can adjust its transmittance according to ultraviolet light and is made of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a biodegradable agricultural functional film and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem that existing agricultural functional films cannot simultaneously adapt to strong sunlight and nighttime temperature conditions.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing a biodegradable agricultural functional film, comprising the following steps: 1) Adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, lactic acid, starch, inorganic filler, anti-aging agent, tetrabutyl titanate and phosphite are mixed and polymerized to obtain the precursor polymer of the anti-aging layer, which is then made into an anti-aging layer using a blow molding machine. Adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, lactic acid, starch, inorganic filler, antifogging agent, tetrabutyl titanate and phosphite are mixed and polymerized to obtain the precursor polymer of the antifogging layer, which is then made into an antifogging layer using a blow molding machine. A UV-reversible color-changing pigment precursor is obtained by mixing water, butyl acrylate, photoinitiator, tungstate, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, coloring pigment, dispersant and organic solvent; 2) Laser etching is performed on the surface of the anti-aging layer, and then the UV reversible color-changing pigment precursor is coated on the surface of the anti-aging layer after laser etching to obtain the UV reversible color-changing layer. 3) The layers are combined in the order of anti-aging layer - ultraviolet photochromic layer - anti-fogging layer, and then blown together to form a biodegradable agricultural functional film.

[0006] Preferably, the mass ratio of adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, lactic acid, starch, inorganic filler and anti-aging agent in step 1) is 15:30~45:12~17:30~40:5~10:3~7:2~4; The mass ratio of adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, terephthalic acid, ethylene glycol, lactic acid, starch, inorganic filler, and antifogging agent is 15:30~45:12~17:30~40:5~10:3~7:2~4.

[0007] Preferably, in step 1), the amount of tetrabutyl titanate added to the anti-aging layer precursor polymer and the anti-fogging layer precursor polymer is independently 0.02~0.12% of the mass of adipic acid, and the amount of phosphite added is independently 0.1~0.6% of the mass of adipic acid.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-aging agent in step 1) includes one or more of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer, N-isopropyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine and 2,2'-methylenebis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol); The antifogging agent is glyceryl monooleate and / or sorbitan monostearate; The inorganic filler includes one or more of calcium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, talc, potassium sulfate, and mica powder; The polymerization reaction temperature is independently 150~280℃, and the polymerization reaction time is independently 3~6h.

[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of water, butyl acrylate, photoinitiator, tungstate, glycerol, polyethylene glycol, coloring pigment, dispersant and organic solvent in step 1) is 10~30:30~45:3~6:1~2:5~8:4~10:10~15:0.5~1.5:20~30.

[0010] Preferably, the tungstate in step 1) is Na2WO4; The photoinitiator includes one or more of 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone, 1-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone, and benzoin dimethyl ether; The coloring pigment is carbon black; The dispersant is polyvinyl alcohol; The organic solvent includes one or more of ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether.

[0011] Preferably, the etching power of the laser etching in step 2) is 1~2W and the scanning rate is 300~600mm / s; The coating method for the ultraviolet reversible color-changing pigment precursor is screen printing; The screen printing process involves a mesh size of 150-300, a printing temperature of 20-30°C, a printing pressure of 1-10 kgf / cm, a printing speed of 200-300 m / min, a printing angle of 30°-50°, and 3-10 overprints.

[0012] Preferably, the blow molding machine in step 3) is a three-layer co-extrusion film machine with a blow molding temperature of 100~200℃.

[0013] The present invention also provides a biodegradable agricultural functional film prepared by the above preparation method, comprising an anti-aging layer, an ultraviolet light reversible color-changing layer, and an anti-fogging layer.

[0014] Preferably, the thickness of the anti-aging layer is 10~50μm, the thickness of the ultraviolet reversible color-changing layer is 5~25μm, and the thickness of the anti-fogging layer is 10~50μm; The width of the biodegradable agricultural functional film is 800~1500mm.

[0015] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. The biodegradability of the membrane material stems from the design of the raw material system: the precursor polymers of the anti-aging layer and the anti-fogging layer use adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, lactic acid, starch, etc., as core raw materials. After polymerization, the membrane material has certain strength and tensile properties. The agricultural functional film produced by subsequent blow molding is relatively flexible and suitable for agricultural production. Lactic acid in the raw materials is a natural biodegradable monomer, and starch is a natural polymer. Both can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by enzymes secreted by microorganisms in the natural environment. The polyester segments formed by the polymerization of adipic acid and 1,4-butanediol are also easily broken down into smaller molecules through hydrolysis and biodegradation. At the same time, tetrabutyl titanate acts as a catalyst to promote ester bond formation, and phosphite inhibits oxidative degradation during the polymerization process, ensuring the structural stability of the membrane during its service life and rapid degradation after disposal. This fundamentally solves the soil pollution problem caused by the residue of traditional plastic agricultural films, meeting the needs of green and sustainable agricultural development.

[0016] (2) Anti-aging agents inhibit the aging and degradation of membrane materials caused by light, high temperature, etc. by capturing free radicals and terminating the oxidation chain reaction; inorganic fillers (such as calcium carbonate) are uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix, which can reflect some ultraviolet rays and reduce the damage of ultraviolet light to the polymer chain; the polymerization reaction is carried out at 150~280℃ to ensure that the monomers react fully to form a stable cross-linked structure, thereby improving the mechanical strength and anti-aging basis of the membrane. The synergistic effect of the three makes the membrane less prone to embrittlement and damage in long-term exposure to sunlight, wind and rain, etc., significantly extending its service life and reducing agricultural production costs.

[0017] (3) The anti-fogging agent is a hydrophilic surfactant that can reduce the surface tension of the membrane, so that water vapor in the air forms a continuous water film on the membrane surface instead of discrete fog droplets, thus avoiding light scattering; the ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and other components in the raw materials enhance the hydrophilicity of the membrane and work synergistically with the anti-fogging agent to enhance the anti-fogging durability; the uniformity of the membrane layer controlled by the blow molding process ensures that the anti-fogging agent is distributed in a consistent manner, thus avoiding local fog droplet condensation.

[0018] (4) Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the oxygen vacancies in the crystal structure of tungstate change, achieving a reversible color change, and the degree of color change is positively correlated with the intensity of ultraviolet light; laser etching forms a micro-nano rough structure on the surface of the anti-aging layer, which increases the adhesion of the ultraviolet light color-changing pigment precursor.
