[ technical field ] A method for producing a semiconductor device
The invention relates to a natural latex/chitin nanofiber composite membrane and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of natural high polymer materials.
[ background of the invention ]
The fresh natural latex is produced in natural rubber trees, has high elasticity, flexibility and good film forming property, and is widely applied to daily life of people.
However, in the practical application process, the following problems exist:
1. when the natural latex is used for producing a film product, the tensile strength and the tear resistance are poor, and the application of the natural latex in the high-added-value field (such as condoms/medical saccule stents and the like) of the natural latex product is greatly limited.
2. The natural latex products have poor aging resistance: the main component of the natural latex is polyisoprene, unsaturated double bonds exist, and the natural latex is easy to break under the conditions of strong light, oxygen enrichment, high temperature and high humidity to cause the aging of latex products.
3. The natural latex has poor storage stability: during the natural latex standing process, bacteria and enzyme destroy and decompose non-rubber substances (mainly protein), so that the stability of the latex is destroyed and the latex is naturally coagulated.
Chitin is a natural polymer with the world output second to cellulose, the nanofiber has the characteristics of high strength, low density and high length-diameter ratio, and meanwhile, based on the characteristics of the chitin body, the chitin nanofiber has good biocompatibility, antibacterial property and biodegradability and can be used for preparing a high-strength and biocompatible natural latex/chitin nanofiber composite membrane.
For example, chinese patent No. CN106947126A discloses a high-strength and biocompatible natural latex/chitin nanofiber composite membrane, which is obtained by compounding chitin nanofibers with negative charges or weak alkalinity on the surface thereof with natural latex: the stress is improved by 3 times compared with that of a pure adhesive film, and the Young modulus is improved by 35 times.
However, in the natural latex/chitin nanofiber composite membrane prepared by the prior art, the dry weight content of the chitin nanofibers is not less than 0.1 wt%, and the higher dosage of the chitin nanofibers damages the flexibility of the natural latex product (particularly, the tensile stress under low strain is higher); on the other hand, the suspension of the chitin nano-fibers is generally low in solid content, and the natural latex is extremely easy to be excessively diluted due to the high dosage of the chitin nano-fibers, so that the dipping process is influenced; and the cost of the nano material is high, and the high compounding amount increases the cost of the final product.
In addition, the prior art can not solve the problems of poor storage stability of natural latex and poor ageing resistance of products thereof.
[ summary of the invention ]
The natural latex has poor storage stability, and the aging resistance, tensile strength and tear resistance of the product are poor, so that the application of the natural latex in the field of high added value is limited.
In the prior art, when a natural latex/chitin nano-fiber composite membrane is prepared, the content of the chitin nano-fiber is high, so that the cost is increased, the process is influenced, and the obtained composite membrane has poor flexibility. In addition, the prior art can not solve the problems of poor storage stability of natural latex and poor ageing resistance of products thereof.

Diluting natural latex with dry glue content of 60 wt% to 38 wt%, directly soaking to form three layers, and heating at 90 deg.C for 30min to obtain natural latex film with thickness of 35-46 μm. Natural latex films are not uniform in thickness and have low strength and limited applications (table 1 and fig. 2). In addition, after being hermetically placed for 10 months together with the composite aqueous dispersions of examples 1, 8 and 9, it was found that the stability of the natural latex was improved as the amount of the chitin nanofibers was increased (fig. 5), and fig. 6 shows that the cytotoxicity of the natural latex film was high.
Comparative example 6
Diluting natural latex with dry glue content of 60 wt% to 38 w%, directly soaking two layers to form a film, and heating at 90 deg.C for 30min to obtain the natural latex film. Because of the thin thickness and the low strength, the demoulding can not be finished.
Comparative example 7
The natural latex with the dry glue content of 60 wt% is cast into a film, and then the film is heated for 30min at 90 ℃ to obtain the natural latex film, wherein the film thickness is 500 mu m, the tensile strength is 18MPa, the elongation at break is 1000%, the 100% stress at definite elongation is 0.8MPa, and the 500% stress at definite elongation is 1.3 MPa.
