A kind of composite toughening method of modifying of the polylactic acid based on crystallization control
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of polymer materials, specifically the composite toughening method of modifying of a kind of polylactic acid based on crystallization control.
Background technology
Polylactic acid is a kind of with reproducible plant resources for raw material, it is chemically synthesized the Biodegradable high molecular of preparation, the processing and forming such as the thermoplasticity of polylactic acid can carry out extruding as these macromolecules of PP, PS and PET on general process equipment, injection moulding. It addition, polylactic acid also has biocompatibility and the biological degradability of uniqueness, accordingly, as a kind of Biodegradable high molecular, polylactic acid has become macromolecule academia and the focus of industrial circle concern.
The intensity of polylactic acid and rigidity are high, but toughness and impact resistance are poor, are a kind of hard and crisp material under room temperature. Therefore, the toughness reinforcing plasticization and modification of polylactic acid is always up the important subject of its marketization.
Blending and modifying is a kind of relatively inexpensive and easy method of modifying. Blending and modifying is polylactic acid, the good polymer of toughness jointly to be mixed, thus reaching a kind of method of the toughness reinforcing purpose of polylactic acid. Blending modification method can be effectively improved the toughness of polylactic acid, there is also the problems such as poor compatibility between blend components, blended rear system mechanical property be undesirable but then.
Through the retrieval of prior art is found, in order to improve the toughness of polylactic acid, people have carried out many research work, as adopted polylactic acid and other aliphatic polyesters to carry out compound, but expensive, it is difficult to accepted by market. And ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is cheap and easy to get, and there is fabulous toughness, the toughness reinforcing of polylactic acid can be applied to. Japan Patent JP-2007063435 proposes to prepare moulded products after blended to polylactic acid, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, although the impact strength of blend alloy is improved, but the crystal property of polylactic acid does not improve. (the plastics science and technology such as Fu Xuejun, 2007,35(7), 50) ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is adopted to carry out toughness reinforcing to polylactic acid, and adopt plasticizer phthalic acid dioctyl ester (DOP) to improve the biphase compatibility, but DOP has potential carcinogenecity, and the application of its polylactic acid-based product has been also affected by restriction, and said method also makes the low difficult forming of polylactic acid crystal degree, molding cycle is long.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to prior art above shortcomings, it is provided that the composite toughening method of modifying of a kind of polylactic acid based on crystallization control, simple realizing method step, further increase the toughness of composite while the suitability is strong.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, and the present invention, by adding glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in polylactic acid, realizes the crystallization control to polylactic acid and toughening modifying.
A kind of composite toughening method of modifying of the polylactic acid based on crystallization control, carry out as steps described below: polylactic acid and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer are previously placed in the vacuum drying oven of 60 DEG C and dry 12h by (1), (2) then by the polylactic acid of drying and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer under the blending temperature of 170-180 DEG C, it is sequentially added into polylactic acid, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and glycidyl methacrylate, and with mixing 8-10 minute of the speed of 60-80 rpm, obtain PLA/EVA intermingling material; (3) the product cooling of above-mentioned blended banburying is placed in mould, on vulcanizing press with 170-180 DEG C at preheating be sequentially carried out hot pressing in 2-3 minute and cold pressing for 3-5 minute after 2-4 minute, pressure is 10-15MPa, can reach the purpose of the crystallization control to polylactic acid and toughening modifying.
