Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of polyethylene film technology, and in particular relates to a high-durability polyethylene film and its production process. Background Technology

[0002] Polyethylene (PE), a thermoplastic polymer synthesized from ethylene monomers, has a molecular chain structure dominated by carbon-carbon single bonds. This often results in good chemical stability, low-temperature resistance, and processing adaptability, making it one of the most widely produced and applied synthetic polymers. Polyethylene has relatively abundant raw material sources, mature production processes, and is lightweight and relatively inexpensive, making it important in packaging, construction, agriculture, and medical fields. The molecular structure of polyethylene plastics can be controlled by adjusting the polymerization method (such as high-pressure polymerization or low-pressure polymerization) to regulate its density and branching degree, forming different types such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), providing a basis for the performance differentiation design of subsequent film products. Based on these characteristics, polyethylene film, as an important processing form of polyethylene plastic, occupies a significant position in the packaging industry due to its advantages such as good flexibility, controllable transparency, and easy heat sealing. In the food packaging sector, it is commonly used for preserving fresh food, sealing cooked food, and moisture-proofing snacks. In daily necessities and industrial packaging, it is frequently used for outer wrapping of detergents and cosmetics, as well as dustproof packaging for mechanical parts and electronic components. Furthermore, polyethylene film can expand its application scenarios through processes such as lamination and coating, for example, as greenhouse covering film in agriculture and disposable packaging materials in the medical field. The lightweight properties of polyethylene film also help reduce logistics and transportation costs, aligning with the potential demand for pollution reduction in modern packaging. However, despite its wide range of applications, the shortcomings in key performance aspects of polyethylene film may still limit its use in the packaging field. Ordinary polyethylene film typically exhibits low molecular chain regularity, making it prone to tearing under impact or edge stress. This tearing risk increases significantly, especially at low temperatures where flexibility decreases, potentially compromising packaging integrity. Furthermore, existing polyethylene films may be punctured by hard objects with sharp edges, leading to leakage or the intrusion of external contaminants. Moreover, pure polyethylene film often has limited barrier properties against small molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. When used for food packaging, it may struggle to effectively delay oxidative deterioration or provide moisture protection, sometimes necessitating the use of composite barrier materials. Additionally, the mechanical properties and chemical stability of the film may degrade in complex environments, potentially failing to meet the packaging requirements for long-term storage or harsh conditions. Therefore, developing polyethylene films with both high toughness and good mechanical properties is crucial for improving packaging reliability and expanding application scenarios.

[0003] Patent application CN103739913A discloses a novel polyethylene film material and its preparation method. The polyethylene film material of this invention is composed of the following raw materials: polyethylene, modified layered nano-silicate, LDPE-g-MAH, and ultrafine titanium dioxide. While the modified layered nano-silicate added in this invention can construct a physical barrier through its layered stacking structure, effectively improving the barrier properties of the polyethylene film against gases and water vapor, its dispersibility within the polyethylene matrix remains significantly insufficient. Due to its high surface energy and strong van der Waals forces between the layers, the layered nano-silicate is prone to agglomeration, forming micron-sized aggregates. This agglomeration not only disrupts the continuity of the matrix, leading to stress concentration and a decrease in the mechanical properties of the film, but also affects the synergistic effect of other functional fillers such as ultrafine titanium dioxide, hindering their uniform distribution and weakening the overall performance of the composite material. Furthermore, agglomerated nanosilicates can interfere with the interfacial compatibility of LDPE-g-MAH, reducing its effect on improving the interfacial bonding between the matrix and filler, which in turn has an adverse effect on the processing stability of the film and limits the application of this film material in the field of high-performance packaging. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues and further improve the barrier properties and mechanical properties of polyethylene film, this application provides a high-durability polyethylene film and its production process.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a high-durability polyethylene film, made from raw materials comprising the following parts by weight: 70-80 parts linear low-density polyethylene, 3-6 parts modified silica gel, and 2-4 parts maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene; the preparation method of the modified silica gel includes the following steps: 1) Mix alkoxysilane, deionized water and ethanol evenly, adjust with acid and alkali in sequence, then add amino cellulose, age, dry, pulverize and grind to obtain aerogel; 2) The aerogel was dispersed in cyclohexane, and then stearoyl chloride and organic base were added to carry out a grafting reaction to obtain modified silica gel.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 1), aminated cellulose is prepared by oxidizing microcrystalline cellulose and then reacting it with an active amine in a condensation reaction.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the process of microcrystalline cellulose oxidation is as follows: microcrystalline cellulose is dispersed in an alkaline solution for swelling, then the pH value is adjusted using hydrochloric acid, and finally reacted with periodate.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 1), the molar ratio of alkoxysilane, deionized water and ethanol is 1:(4-6):(8-10).

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 1), the alkoxysilane is tetramethoxysilane or methyltrimethoxysilane.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 2), the mass ratio of aerogel to stearoyl chloride is 1:(0.5-1.2).

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step 2), the organic base is triethylamine or N,N-dimethylaniline.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the active amine is one of polyethyleneamine, polyallylamine, and polyethyleneimine.

[0013] Secondly, this application provides a production process for a high-durability polyethylene film, characterized by comprising the following steps: S1: Linear low-density polyethylene, modified silica gel, and maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene are melt-blended and granulated to obtain composite particles.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The porous structure of modified silica gel extends the path for external substances to enter the interior of high-durability polyethylene film, thus playing a certain role in isolation and improving the barrier performance of high-durability polyethylene film.

[0016] 2. Aminated cellulose plays a role in enhancing the toughness of modified silica gel, giving it a certain resistance to impact and puncture. At the same time, in the preparation of high-durability polyethylene film, the amino groups on the surface of aminated cellulose react with maleic anhydride grafted onto polyethylene, improving the compatibility and bonding force between modified silica gel and polyethylene, thereby enhancing the tear resistance of high-durability polyethylene film.

[0017] 3. The modified silica gel surface is grafted with stearoyl chloride, which improves the hydrophobicity of the modified silica gel and its dispersibility in polyethylene. The longer hydrophobic segments are entangled in the polyethylene matrix, further enhancing the bonding force between the modified silica gel and the polyethylene matrix, and improving the mechanical properties of the high-durability polyethylene film.
