Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer composition preparation technology, specifically relating to an aquaculture greenhouse film based on light conversion regulation and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Covering aquatic organisms with greenhouse film is a common environmental control method in aquaculture. It has the functions of reducing energy consumption, isolating pollution, preventing aquatic organisms from escaping, and reducing low-temperature stress on aquatic organisms. Traditional greenhouse films are mostly made of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, which cannot selectively filter or enhance specific wavelengths of light according to the growth stage of aquatic organisms. This can easily lead to excessive algae growth, physiological disorders of aquatic organisms, and even immunosuppression.
[0003] Aquaculture light-converting membranes are a new type of functional film made by adding light-converting agents to plastic film materials. They have the function of changing light quality, converting light that is unfriendly to farmed organisms or has low utilization (such as ultraviolet light) into light of specific wavelengths that are beneficial to the growth and health of aquatic organisms (such as blue light and red light). Currently, when light-converting agents are incorporated into plastic film materials and used for a long time, there are defects such as migration and precipitation of light-converting agents and easy aggregation after the film is aged by wet heat. This results in poor light conversion control effect and rapid decay, which shortens the service life of the film.
[0004] Chinese patent CN109320821A discloses a method for preparing a light-modulating conversion functional film for greenhouses, using Eu... 3+ Using aluminic acid, strontium hydroxide, europium chloride, and anhydrous ethanol as raw materials, the mixture is ball-milled and then dry-hydrothermally synthesized under high temperature and high pressure (245~300℃, 10~15MPa). Finally, it is calcined under argon protection at 600~800℃ to obtain upconversion fluorescent phosphorescent functional powder.
[0005] Using glycerol fatty acid esters, lanolin esters, and polypropylene glycol 400 as raw materials, the mixture is melted at 100-120℃, then acetic acid is added as a catalyst, and the reaction is carried out for 5-6 hours. Then, thermosensitive color-changing powder is added and mixed to prepare a primary product of energy storage material. Next, using upconversion fluorescent photoluminescent functional powder and polyethylene glycol 10000 as raw materials, polyethylene glycol 10000 is dissolved into a 5wt% aqueous solution, and the fluorescent photoluminescent functional powder is added and ultrasonically dispersed to prepare a primary product of dimming material. Tx-10 emulsion is added to the primary product of energy storage material for high-speed emulsification to prepare an energy storage emulsion. Then, the primary product of dimming material and butyraldehyde are added to the energy storage emulsion for high-temperature emulsification, followed by ripening and crosslinking. After centrifugation and washing three times with water, the mixture is freeze-dried at -10℃ for 48 hours to prepare the energy storage dimming material.
[0006] This patent requires hydrothermal synthesis at 10~15MPa and 245~300℃, involving multiple material preparation steps such as upconversion powder, thermosensitive color-changing powder, energy storage phase change material, and fluorescent light-gathering material. It also involves operations such as high-speed emulsification, high-temperature emulsification, and maturation crosslinking. The operation is complicated and requires specialized equipment, which is not conducive to industrial promotion in the aquaculture field where the usage is large and the cost is sensitive.
[0007] Chinese patent CN115433405A discloses a method for preparing a rare earth organic light-converting agent coated with nano-titanium dioxide. The preparation method includes: synthesizing a rare earth organic complex using europium chloride, α-thiophenecarboxyltrifluoroacetone, 10-o-phenanthroline, and acrylic acid; mixing the rare earth organic complex with tetrabutyl titanate and stirring until homogeneous to obtain a reaction system; and removing the solvent from the reaction system by vacuum distillation to obtain the rare earth organic complex coated with nano-titanium dioxide.
[0008] Nano-titanium dioxide itself can be used as a photocatalyst, and has certain light absorption and scattering effects. It is easy to scatter and emit light, which reduces the light emission efficiency. When titanium dioxide is directly used to coat rare earth organic light-converting agents, some tetrabutyl titanate will undergo homogeneous nucleation and form agglomerates, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity of coating.

[0026] The method for preparing aquaculture greenhouse film based on light conversion regulation according to the present invention includes the following steps:
[0027] S1. Mix the red and yellow light control layer, blue light suppression layer and support layer according to their respective proportions, and then melt granulate to obtain red and yellow light control layer masterbatch, blue light suppression layer masterbatch and support layer masterbatch for later use.
[0028] S2. The red and yellow light regulating layer masterbatch, blue light inhibiting layer masterbatch and support layer masterbatch are co-extruded and blown into film to produce aquaculture greenhouse film.
[0029] in:
[0030] In S1, the melting and granulation temperature is 170~180℃ when preparing the red and yellow light control layer masterbatch, 175~185℃ when preparing the blue light suppression layer masterbatch, and 175~185℃ when preparing the support layer masterbatch.
[0031] In S2, the co-extrusion blown film equipment used in the co-extrusion blown film process includes an extrusion system, a co-extrusion die, a blown film system, and a traction system. The extrusion system includes a red-yellow light control layer section, a blue light suppression layer section, and a support layer section. The feeding section temperature of the red-yellow light control layer section is 135~145℃, the melting section temperature is 170~180℃, and the homogenization section temperature is 185~195℃. The feeding section temperature of the blue light suppression layer section is 150~160℃, the melting section temperature is 175~185℃, and the homogenization section temperature is 185~195℃. The feeding section temperature of the support layer section is 135~145℃, the melting section temperature is 175~185℃, and the homogenization section temperature is 180~190℃.
[0032] In the co-extrusion die, the die blowing temperature is 185~195℃, and the cooling temperature at the die outlet is 25~35℃; the thickness of the aquaculture greenhouse film is 0.070~0.100mm, and the thickness ratio of the red and yellow light control layer, the blue light suppression layer, and the support layer is 1:1:1.
[0033] In the inflation system, the total inflation ratio is 2.5~3, the traction system has a traction rate of 10~15m / min, and the initial winding tension is 105~120N.
[0034] The lubricant and dispersant described in this invention can be adsorbed onto the surface of the nano-silica-coated light-converting agent, further improving its compatibility with non-polar resins such as polyethylene, making it easier to wet and disperse during melt processing, and avoiding secondary agglomeration due to uneven shear force during processing.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0036] Cerium dioxide, with its high specific surface area, can act as a nucleating agent, adsorbing rare earth ions and serving as a reaction site for the organic coordination of these ions. Using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a precursor, an amorphous nano-silica shell is formed on the surface of the nucleating agent and rare earth ions through hydrolysis and condensation. This shell blocks the rare earth ions from contact with external water, heat, and oxygen, mitigating the problem of agglomeration during humid and hot aging. Furthermore, the addition of cerium dioxide further reduces the probability of homogeneous nucleation during the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate, improving the uniformity of the coating and further enhancing the barrier effect and mitigation of agglomeration during humid and hot aging. Additionally, when nano-silica and cerium dioxide are combined, due to their refractive index difference, they can act as light scatterers, effectively extending the light propagation path and improving light conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, the Ce in cerium dioxide... 4+ / Ce 3+ The redox cycle of ion pairs can quench harmful free radicals excited by ultraviolet light, preventing free radicals from attacking the light-converting agent molecules and polymer chains. This protects the light-converting center (Eu) of the light-converting agent. 3+ 、Sm 3+ ), to suppress the decay of light conversion efficiency.
[0037] The block copolymer acts as a template agent, assisting in the formation of a well-dispersed nano-silica system in an alkaline environment. Its terminal polylactic acid (PLA) segments are hydrophilic, fully extending in ethanol / water solutions to form a hydrated, flexible, spatial protective layer. This reduces CeO2 aggregation, improving the stability of the suspension and the uniformity of the final in-situ coating. Furthermore, the carbonyl groups in the PLA chains contain lone pairs of electrons, which interact with rare earth ions (Eu). 3+ / Sm 3+ The weak coordination effect can pre-enrich rare earth ions in the solution near the surface of CeO2 particles, creating conditions for subsequent in-situ coating, greatly promoting heterogeneous nucleation and inhibiting homogeneous nucleation; the two effects thus ensure that the rare earth light-converting agent in the nano-silica coated rare earth light-converting agent is not prone to premature decay of light conversion effect due to precipitation and agglomeration.
[0038] In addition, the long-chain polyethylene glycol segments of the block copolymer further restrict the aggregation of CeO2 particles and provide contact sites for tetraethyl orthosilicate, promoting the subsequent in-situ coating of tetraethyl orthosilicate and forming a more uniform nano-silica coated light-converting agent.
[0039] In the block copolymer, maleimide undergoes ring-opening hydrolysis in an alkaline environment. The hydrolyzed ammonium salt acts as an auxiliary ligand, forming a multi-component complex with rare earth ions and 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid trifluoroacetone. This provides more donor-acceptor (dipole-dipole coupling transfer mechanism) channels for electron transfer, thereby improving the light conversion efficiency of rare earth ions.
[0040] This invention employs multilayer co-extrusion, dividing the functional layers into a red-yellow light modulation layer, a blue light suppression layer, and a support layer. This ensures that each functional layer has a more specific function, guaranteeing that the performance is not affected by other components, such as the blue light suppressant cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet and the rare-earth light-converting agent Eu. 3+ / Sm 3+ There is competition in the blue light conversion regulation, which will affect the utilization rate of each; secondly, it makes the function more specific, without the need to add redundant components, thus reducing production costs. For example, the support layer does not have functional materials that are easily photodegraded, so there is no need to add light stabilizers. The blue light suppression layer is located in the middle and does not directly contact the external environment, so there is no need for additional antioxidants. Finally, the optimal processing temperature of each layer is precisely matched with the characteristics of each layer material, reducing the processing difficulty. For example, different functional layers have different functional requirements, so the substrates are different and the melting temperatures are also different. Detailed Implementation

Then, samples 1-8 were placed in a constant temperature and humidity aging chamber, with the temperature set at 38-45℃ and the ambient humidity at 85%RH. After standing for 65 days, the samples were taken out and the tensile strength (σ1) and fluorescence emission peak integrated area (S1) after the aging test were measured. Based on σ0, σ1, S0, and S1, the tensile strength retention rate and light conversion efficiency retention rate were obtained. The specific performance test data are shown in Table 1.
[0096] Light conversion efficiency retention rate = S1 / S0 × 100%, tensile strength retention rate = σ1 / σ0 × 100%.

Then, samples 1~8 were placed in the optical path of the fluorescence spectrometer and tested. The characteristic peaks were found within the scanning range, and the characteristic peaks were integrated to obtain the fluorescence emission peak integrated area.
