Description

Method for improving gas barrier property of polylactic acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of high-barrier polylactic acid, belonging to the field of processing of high polymer materials.
Background
Every year, more than 40% of high polymer materials are used in the field of packaging, such as PP, PE, PVC, PET, and the like, which have good heat sealability, printability, and gas barrier properties, but none of these materials have biodegradability and pollute the environment.
With the development of bio-based degradable materials, bio-based degradable materials have been widely used, wherein polylactic acid has been widely used in packaging materials due to its advantages of excellent processability, high mechanical strength, low price, etc., but polylactic acid itself has poor barrier property, especially to gas, which limits its application range as packaging materials.
The addition of a large amount of inorganic high barrier sheet-like particles (such as graphene, clay, etc.) can prolong the diffusion path of gas molecules, which is the most common method for improving the barrier property of polylactic acid, but a large amount of sheet-like particles can agglomerate, which leads to the reduction of the mechanical property of the material and the improvement of the barrier property is not obvious. In addition, the polylactic acid multilayer material compounded with the high-barrier material is also a method for improving the barrier property of the polylactic acid, but the process is long and the manufacturing cost is high.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a preparation method for continuously preparing a high-barrier polylactic acid material in a large scale with a simple process.
The technical thinking and the technical principle of the invention are as follows: (1) compared with an amorphous region of polylactic acid, the molecular chain segments of the crystalline region are regularly and tightly piled up, and gas small molecules are difficult to penetrate through. The polylactic acid product obtained by the traditional processing method is usually in a spherulite form, and small gas molecules easily pass through an amorphous area between the spherulite and the spherulite, so that the barrier property of the polylactic acid is poor (fig. 2 (E)). Therefore, the orientation and the spatial arrangement of the polylactic acid lamella are regulated and controlled, the fact that the lamella is perpendicular to the diffusion direction of the micromolecular gas is achieved, the effective blocking area of the lamella to the micromolecular gas can be increased, and the blocking performance of the polylactic acid is greatly improved. (2) According to the invention, a multi-layer material with an alternate layered structure is prepared by extruding through a micro-nano layer co-extrusion device disclosed by the Chinese invention patent (CN 101439576A), and due to the induction effect of an inducer, a nucleating agent is assembled into a fibrous structure (figure 2 (C)) perpendicular to a layer interface, and then polylactic acid platelets are induced to grow (in-plane orientation platelets) perpendicular to the axial direction of the fibers, a "platelet barrier wall" with high barrier property is constructed in situ, and the barrier property of polylactic acid is greatly improved (figure 2 (D)).
As described in the background art, the existing methods for improving the barrier property of polylactic acid are all to add large high-barrier inorganic flaky particles, neglect the design of the crystal structure of polylactic acid itself, and lead to the improvement of the barrier property and the deterioration of the mechanical property and the processability of the material. The barrier property of the material can be improved by compounding the material with a high-barrier material into a layered material, but the preparation process is complex, the cost is high, and continuous industrial production is difficult. The invention realizes the oriented assembly of the nucleating agent, then realizes the oriented arrangement of the polylactic acid lamella crystals, constructs the in-plane oriented 'lamella crystal barrier wall' in situ and realizes the self-enhancement of the polylactic acid barrier performance through simple melt extrusion.
Based on the technical principle, the invention adopts the technical scheme that:
Figure 957455DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
the selective distribution of the inducer in the a/b alternate layered material is realized by a micro-nano layer coextrusion technologyB layer (fig. 1);
Figure 140175DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
inducing the self-assembly nucleating agent in the layer a to grow in an assembled mode in a vertical layer interface mode by utilizing an inducing agent in the layer b;
Figure 356130DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
the assembled and grown nucleating agent induces the polylactic acid lamella crystal to grow along the layer interface in an oriented mode, the effective blocking area of the lamella crystal to small molecular gas is obviously increased, and therefore the high-blocking-property polylactic acid material is obtained. Specifically, the specific process steps for preparing the high-barrier polylactic acid material are as follows:
(1) melting and blending polylactic acid and a nucleating agent by a double-screw extruder, extruding, granulating and drying to obtain a material a;
(2) melting and blending polylactic acid, a nucleating agent and an inducer by a double-screw extruder, extruding, granulating and drying to obtain a material b; (3) extruding the a and the b by a micro-nano co-extrusion device to prepare a/b alternate layered materials with different layers;
(4) the micro-nano co-extrusion device consists of an extruder (A, B), a connector (C), a layer multiplier (D), a calendering roller (E) and an annealing heating plate (F) drawing roller (G);
(5) the preparation of the a/b alternating layered material is characterized in that a material a and a material b are respectively put into two extruders (A, B) of a micro-nano co-extrusion device, after melting and plasticizing, two melts are overlapped in a connector (C), after cutting and overlapping by n layer multipliers (D), and then are rolled by a rolling roller (E), annealed by an annealing plate (F) and pulled by a pulling roller (G), so that the number of layers is 2(n+1)Alternating a/b layered material of (a).
The invention has the following characteristics:
(1) according to the invention, a 'platelet barrier wall' with high barrier property is constructed in situ in a crystallization regulation and control mode, so that the gas barrier property of polylactic acid is greatly improved (by 7 times), and the defects of deterioration of mechanical property, processing property and the like caused by addition of a large amount of inorganic particles are avoided.
(2) The invention relates to a nucleating agent, in particular to a self-assembly nucleating agent which can be assembled into a one-dimensional (fiber, needle and rod) structure in a polylactic acid melt, such as benzoyl hydrazine, polyamine and the like.
(3) The inducer is particularly a material capable of inducing the self-assembly of the nucleating agent, such as clay, graphite, graphene, boron nitride, silicon dioxide and the like.
(4) The method of the present invention is not limited to polylactic acid, and can also be applied to other crystalline polymers, such as PP, PE, etc.
(5) The preparation method of the a/b alternating layered material is not limited to the multilayer coextrusion technology, and can be an a and b alternating lamination method, an a and b alternating coating method and the like.
(6) The preparation method has simple process, convenient and continuous operation control and easy implementation, and has very obvious improvement on the barrier property of the polylactic acid. In addition, the degradation performance of the polylactic acid is not influenced.
Therefore, the method for preparing the polylactic acid with high barrier property provided by the invention has the advantages of low cost, simple process, convenience in operation, high production efficiency and good industrial application prospect, and can be widely applied to preparation of polylactic acid with high barrier property and other crystalline materials.

The following table is obtained by comparing the examples and the comparative columns.
Oxygen permeability coefficients of table one, examples and comparative examples
Figure 689022DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
In example 1, benzoyl hydrazine derivatives were used as the self-assembly nucleating agent and graphene as the inducer the multilayer patterns of different layer numbers had similar crystallinity (about 53.9%), but the oxygen permeability coefficient increased and then decreased with increasing layer number, with 16 layers reaching a minimum of 0.7 × 10-19m3·m/m2s.Pa. The self-assembly nucleating agent begins to branch off to form a dendritic fiber structure after the fiber grows to a certain length (about 24.8 μm, see fig. 3 (a 2)) during the assembly process. Due to the space position effect, the branched fibers have higher orientation degree, and the induced polylactic acid platelets also have higher regularity and orientation degree. Therefore, the branched fiber structure is more favorable for improving the gas barrier property of the polylactic acid. The thickness of the multilayer material of the present invention is constant, the thickness of the individual layers decreases as the number of layers increases, and when the number of layers exceeds 16, the thickness of the individual layers decreases to such an extent that there is not enough room for the nucleating agent to grow after branching, and thus the 16-layer pattern exhibits the best oxygen barrier performance (the oxygen barrier coefficient is the smallest).
In comparative example 1, a benzoyl hydrazine derivative was used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and graphene was used as an inducer. The resulting pattern was amorphous as a result of not being treated with the annealed plate (FIG. 1 (F)). The oxygen permeability coefficient slightly decreases with the number of layers, and the barrier properties slightly increase. The high-layer number samples need more multipliers, so that the high-layer number samples experience higher shear force fields, higher graphene orientation is caused, and the effective area of the graphene for blocking gas molecules is increased, so that the oxygen permeability coefficient of the high-layer number samples is slightly reduced, and the blocking performance is slightly improved.
In comparative example 2, a benzoyl hydrazine derivative was used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and graphene was used as an inducer. The obtained pattern is a common crystal blending sample without a layer structure, and at the moment, the polylactic acid lamella is randomly oriented, so that the effective blocking area for gas molecules is lower. Therefore, even though the crystallinity is similar, the multilayer sample of example 1 can have an oxygen permeability coefficient of gas as low as 14.5% in comparative sample 2 and an oxygen barrier property improved by 7 times, compared to the sample of comparative sample 2. Therefore, the orientation and the spatial arrangement of the polylactic acid platelets are regulated and controlled to form an effective 'platelet separation wall', and the separation performance of the polylactic acid material can be effectively improved.
In comparative example 3, a benzoyl hydrazine derivative was used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and graphene was used as an inducer. The obtained pattern was a normal blend structure in an amorphous state, and therefore, the oxygen permeability coefficient was higher and the barrier property was inferior in comparative example 3 as compared with example 1 and comparative example 2.
In comparative example 4, a benzoyl hydrazine derivative was used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and high-purity graphite was used as an inducer. The values of the oxygen permeability coefficients of the obtained samples were comparable to those of the 16-layer samples in example 1.
In comparative example 5, benzoyl hydrazine derivatives were used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and nano clay was used as an inducer. The values of the oxygen permeability coefficients of the obtained samples were comparable to those of the 16-layer samples in example 1.
In comparative example 6, polyamines were used as the self-assembly nucleating agent and graphene was used as the inducer. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the obtained sample is slightly higher than that of the sample with 16 layers in the example 1, which shows that the benzoyl hydrazine derivative has more excellent effect.
In comparative example 7, polyamines were used as the self-assembly nucleating agent and high-purity graphite as the inducer. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the obtained sample is slightly higher than that of the sample with 16 layers in the example 1, which shows that the benzoyl hydrazine derivative has more excellent effect.
In comparative example 8, polyamine was used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and nano clay was used as an inducer. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the obtained sample is slightly higher than that of the sample with 16 layers in the example 1, which shows that the benzoyl hydrazine derivative has more excellent effect.
In example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 8, crystalline polylactic acid was used as a matrix, benzoyl hydrazine derivatives and polyamine organic compounds were used as a self-assembly nucleating agent, and graphene, graphite and clay were used as an inducer of the self-assembly nucleating agent, but the present invention is not limited to the above system, and those skilled in the art can make some insubstantial modifications and adjustments to the present invention based on the above disclosure, and similar conclusions can be obtained.
