[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

At the same time, it can also provide a carbon source during the degradation process, promoting the colonization of microorganisms on the material surface. Through the treatment of the material by Bacillus licheniformis, the bacteria will metabolize and multiply, secreting hydrolytic enzymes. In the subsequent freeze-drying process, the hydrolytic enzymes are fixed in the filler. When the final material is in an environment rich in microorganisms, these pre-loaded hydrolytic enzymes will be activated and slowly released, initiating a hydrolysis reaction inside the material, greatly accelerating the breakage of polymer chains, and effectively improving the degradation efficiency of the water bottle material made of biodegradable elastic material.

[0022] 2. In this invention, the addition of carbon black to the excipients allows carbon black to play a reinforcing role and hinder the slippage of polymer chains in the material system. KH560 enables stress to be effectively transferred between the filler and the matrix, giving full play to the reinforcing effect of carbon black in the filler. At the same time, the binding properties of luteolin and chitosan are utilized to ensure that the material maintains its strength during use and improves its durability. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that this comparative example does not contain carbon black.

[0063] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that this comparative example does not contain Bacillus licheniformis.

[0064] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that it does not contain filler.

[0065] Performance testing: Performance tests were conducted on the electric kettle materials prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, and 4 (Comparative Examples). The test data are recorded in the table below:

[0066] Testing items Degradation rate (%) Impact resistance (m) Example 1 73.8 4.7 Example 2 72.2 4.5 Example 3 72.6 4.4 Comparative Example 1 71.4 2.2 Comparative Example 2 49.7 4.3 Comparative Example 3 45.9 2.1

[0067] In the performance test, the degradation rate was tested as follows: the electric kettle materials prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 and 4 were selected and buried in 2000g of soil with a pH of 7.0, a water content of 25%, and a temperature of 30℃ for 1 year. During the burial process, 30mL of 1% glucose solution was added to the soil every 15 days. After the time was over, the mass loss rate of the electric kettle materials was calculated to obtain the degradation rate data.

[0068] The impact resistance test method is as follows: The electric kettle materials prepared in Examples 1, 2, 3, Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 and 4 are respectively laid horizontally and fixed. A steel ball is dropped from above the rim of the kettle for impact testing. The steel ball weighs 500g and the initial height is 1m. After each test, the height of the steel ball is increased by 0.1m and the test is continued until obvious cracks appear on the surface of the electric kettle material.

[0069] It is evident that the degradation performance and strength performance of the electric kettle materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all lower than those in Examples 1, 2, and 3. This indicates that in the preparation of biodegradable elastic materials, luteolin, as a fiber component, plays a reinforcing supporting role in the elastic material system, while also providing a carbon source during degradation and promoting the colonization of microorganisms on the material surface. Through the treatment of the material by Bacillus licheniformis, the bacteria will metabolize and multiply, secreting hydrolytic enzymes. In the subsequent freeze-drying process, the hydrolytic enzymes are fixed in the filler. When the final material is in an environment rich in microorganisms, these pre-loaded hydrolytic enzymes will be activated and slowly released, initiating a hydrolysis reaction inside the material, significantly accelerating the breakage of polymer chains, and effectively improving the degradation efficiency of the kettle material made of biodegradable elastic material.

[0070] The addition of carbon black to the excipients allows carbon black to play a reinforcing role, hindering the slippage of polymer chains in the material system. KH560 enables stress to be effectively transferred between the filler and the matrix, fully leveraging the reinforcing effect of carbon black in the filler. At the same time, the binding properties of luteolin and chitosan ensure that the material maintains its strength during use and improves its durability.

[0071] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the electric kettle material prepared by this invention not only has good degradation performance but also excellent strength properties. This indicates that the biodegradable elastic material provided by this invention has a broader market prospect and is more suitable for widespread application.

9. A method for preparing a biodegradable elastic material according to any one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Polylactic acid (PLA) and bio-based polybutylene terephthalate (PBTB) were placed in a vacuum drying oven at a temperature of 60–80°C and a vacuum of -0.08 MPa for 4–6 hours. Bio-based polyether polyol was placed in an oven at 40–60°C for 40–60 minutes. The treated bio-based polyether polyol, PLA, and PBTB were weighed and added to a reaction vessel. The reaction speed was set to 200–300 rpm and the temperature to 100–140°C for 4–6 minutes. Afterward, italcon was added. Acid anhydride and bio-based polycaprolactone triol were added, and the temperature was set at 150–170°C for 2–3 minutes. Then, citric acid and stannous octoate were added, and the temperature was set at 160–180°C for 1–2 minutes. The resulting product was added to a twin-screw extruder. Filler, zinc stearate, and erucamide were weighed and added to the twin-screw extruder as needed. The speed of the twin-screw extruder was set at 200–300 rpm, the temperature at 230–250°C, and the residence time at 3–5 minutes. The extruded product was pelletized to obtain a biodegradable elastic material.
