Technical Field

Background
The storage of food and medicine and the sealing during electronic display require that the packaging material has excellent oxygen barrier property, so that the high oxygen barrier packaging material plays an important application value in daily life of people. Plastic oxygen barrier films have gradually replaced traditional packaging materials such as glass, metal, paper and the like as the main material for sale packaging. However, various plastic packaging films have different degrees of gas permeability, which severely limits the packaging quality of plastic materials.
Although the oxygen barrier property of plastic packaging materials with inorganic substances added is widely researched, and experiments and theories prove that the inorganic layered materials can effectively prolong the diffusion path of oxygen molecules, the technical requirements of the current production process methods of the oxygen barrier packaging materials, such as steamed bun steaming process, plasma treatment coating and sol-gel process, are high, the process is complex and precise, and the application expansion of the barrier packaging materials is restricted.
In addition, most of the inorganic layered materials synthesized at present have irregular properties and are easy to agglomerate, so that the rising space of the oxygen barrier property of the composite oxygen barrier packaging film is limited, which is a bottleneck for improving the barrier property of the materials. In addition, the current common process is to form a plurality of (generally more than 5) organic/inorganic layers with water and oxygen barrier functions on the plastic substrate alternately, so that the water and oxygen barrier performance of the plastic substrate can be greatly improved, and the method is a feasible water and oxygen barrier technology at present. However, multiple coating or deposition of organic-inorganic layers adds significant process complexity and production cost. Therefore, the research on the high-barrier and low-cost food packaging film has been receiving attention.

The Chinese patent application No. 201510877704.1 discloses an antibacterial high-barrier food packaging film, which comprises a paper base layer, an aluminum film compounded on the upper surface of the paper base layer, and a polyethylene layer compounded on the lower surface of the paper base layer, wherein the surface of the polyethylene layer is coated with an antibacterial layer.
In order to further simplify the preparation process and reduce the preparation cost while maintaining the high water-oxygen barrier property and antibacterial property of the food packaging plastic film, a novel preparation method of the food packaging plastic film is needed to realize the low-cost preparation of the high-barrier food packaging film.
