The present application relates to the field of new
polymer materials, and specifically discloses a degradable expandable
polylactic acid polymer foam material and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following raw materials: a
polylactic acid-
starch-
polyamide blended modified mixture,
polylactic acid foam material waste scraps, a
foaming agent, a nucleating agent, and an activator; the preparation method comprises the following steps: melt-mixing polylactic acid, acylated
starch, and
polyamide in proportion to obtain a polylactic acid-
starch-
polyamide blended modified mixture, weighing the polylactic acid-starch-polyamide blended modified mixture, the polylactic acid foam material waste scraps, a
foaming agent, a nucleating agent, and an activator, mixing them, extruding and
pelletizing to obtain a foaming
masterbatch, and foaming and molding; the present application has the characteristics of improving the expandability of the polylactic acid material, and obtaining a polylactic acid foam material with a more uniform pore size distribution, a small pore size, and excellent mechanical properties.
