The invention belongs to the technical field of biodegradable composite materials, and discloses a preparation method and application of a PVA-PLA (
Polyvinyl Acetate-Poly
Lactic Acid) multi-layer high-barrier film based on
metal-phenolic network enhancement. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a PVA (
Polyvinyl Alcohol) composite solution containing
lignin and a
polyphenol compound, and carrying out film
casting to obtain a base layer film; then preparing a PLA
coating solution containing Femetal ions; and finally, immersing the base layer film into the PLA
coating liquid, and constructing a multi-layer structure through
solvent volatilization. The core of the invention is that a
polyphenol compound in the base layer and Fe in the PLA layer are utilized to form a
metal-
phenolic aldehyde network coordination bond at an interface, and the
metal-
phenolic aldehyde network coordination bond is used as a molecular bridge, so that the
interface bonding force between PVA and PLA is greatly enhanced, and the problem of interface layering caused by polarity difference between PVA and PLA is effectively solved. Meanwhile, due to the synergistic effect of the
lignin and the
polyphenol compound, the film is endowed with excellent
oxygen,
carbon dioxide and
water vapor barrier properties and an antibacterial function. The film is green and safe, and is suitable for
active packaging of food, especially fresh keeping of
fruits and vegetables.
