Description

Degradable micro/nano fiber glue-free self-adhesive straw and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of new biological materials and high molecular compounds, and particularly relates to a degradable micro/nano fiber glue-free self-adhesive straw and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In 1 month 2020, the center issues "opinions on further strengthening plastic pollution control" that the use of non-degradable disposable plastic straws is prohibited by the national catering industry by the end of 2020. Since 2008 'plastic-restricted ream', 12 years later 'plastic-restricted ream' is the limit for all non-degradable plastic products in the true sense. Thus, "non-degradable" under the limits of the restrictions is the reason for this.
The using amount of the plastic straws is large, and data show that the national plastic product cumulative yield in 2019 is 8184 ten thousand tons, wherein the plastic straws are nearly 3 ten thousand tons and about 460 hundred million roots, and the using amount per person exceeds 30. As a disposable plastic product in a plastic forbidden row, one plastic straw is used for about 20min on average and then is discarded; however, the degradation time of each plastic straw is as long as 500 years, and the environmental hazard is great.
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, attempts have been made to develop straws made of paper, stainless steel, glass or iron, and other biodegradable materials to replace plastic straws. Until the last two years, paper straw business has been developed and has become the most common substitute for plastic straws. Compared with a plastic straw, the paper straw has the greatest advantage of natural degradation, but the paper straw is not filled with fillers such as sizing adhesives, waterproof wax and the like, so that certain potential safety hazards are caused, and meanwhile, the raw materials of the paper are partially from felling trees. In addition, in order to prevent the paper straw from being broken and ulcerated in the using process, the material consumption of the paper straw is 30% more than that of the plastic straw, and the wood raw material source of the paper straw is deficient, so that the cost of the paper straw is higher than that of the plastic straw. In recent years, biomass plastic starch straws, which are made of plant-derived plastic PLA (polylactic acid), the main material of which is corn starch, potato starch, sugar cane, beet root, cassava, and the like, have also attracted increasing attention. In practice, however, the environmental hazard of such straws may not be distinguishable from ordinary plastic straws. The bio-plastic straw can only be decomposed under specific environmental conditions, and generally needs to be assisted by industrial waste composting facilities, which are not available at present in most places. If not properly composted, the bio-plastic straw mixed into the landfill may take years to decompose; once in the marine environment, the situation is even worse, as they cannot be decomposed at all in the sea, which is a great hazard to marine animals. The chitin has wide sources, is a second natural renewable biological resource in nature, exists in a large number of waste shrimp and crab shells, and has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. An article was published in Nature Comment by Yan et al, national university of singapore (Yan, n., x. Chen, Don't water search waste water, Natural Comment, 2015, 524, 155-: "do not waste these marine wastes". The global condition of the marine waste shrimp and crab shells is briefly described in the text: 600- & 800 million tons of waste shrimps, crabs, lobster shells, etc. are produced every year around the world, of which 150 million tons are produced every year in southeast asia alone. The shrimp shells and the crab shells are solid wastes generated in the aquatic industry, the quantity of the solid wastes is increased along with the development of the freshwater and seawater aquaculture shrimp and crab industry in China, only a small part of the solid wastes is used for low value-added products such as feed additives, and the vast majority of the shrimp and crab shells are used as garbage to be randomly buried or poured into the sea or even not treated, so that the living environment of human beings is seriously influenced. The shrimp and crab shell waste contains a large amount of chitin, has high utilization value, but has low recycling rate, and not only causes serious waste of resources, but also pollutes the environment. Taking crab shell as an example in nature, the main components of the crab shell comprise skeleton material chitin, protein, inorganic salt such as calcium carbonate and the like, pigment and the like. The chitin molecule is stacked to form basic fibril through the interaction of Van der Waals force and intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, the basic fibril is assembled to form micron fiber size and is arranged in layers, and after matrix components are removed through demineralization, deproteinization and the like, the natural chitin micro-nano structure in the shell of the Jiaoziman animal can be obtained.

And (III) mechanism description.
Chitin exists in natural organism (such as shrimp and crab shell) as fiber aggregate with nanometer scale and uniform dispersion. The chitin molecules are stacked through van der Waals force and the interaction of hydrogen bonds in the molecules and among the molecules to form basic fibrils, the basic fibrils are assembled to form micron fiber sizes and are arranged in a layered mode, after matrix components are removed through demineralization, deproteinization and the like, the natural chitin micro-nano structure can be reserved, and the mixed system of chitin micron-sized fibers and nano-sized fibers can be obtained through simple mechanical stirring. The chitin nanofiber is characterized in that the chitin nanofiber which is uniformly dispersed and has no agglomeration phenomenon can be obtained only through simple physical mechanical action, and the chitin nanofiber cannot be replaced by other biomass materials such as cellulose and the like. The characteristics make the chitin possible to become a novel green protective natural full biomass material and is expected to be used as a raw material of products such as pipes, bags, plates and the like.
As shown in fig. 18, a micro-topography of the surface of the straw material prepared by mechanical stirring for 20 minutes (example 4) can be observed that the fibers are regularly dispersed and have no obvious agglomeration phenomenon, and the natural nanofiber structure of chitin is still remained on the surface after mechanical defibering.
As shown in fig. 19, a graph of the defibering effect of the chitin fiber bundle obtained by mechanical stirring for 20 minutes (example 4) shows that a large number of fine whisker-like fibers are exposed on the surface of the coarse fibers, and the purpose of the surface nanocrystallization is to: because the chitin fiber surface contains a large amount of hydroxyl, the tentacle-shaped thin fibers on the surface of the coarse fibers are increased in the material preparation process, and the number of the hydroxyl is increased, so that the hydrogen bond bonding force formed among the hydroxyl in the drying process is further improved, and the glue-free self-bonding is realized.
The purpose of mechanical stirring is to control the number of free hydroxyl groups for improved hydrogen bonding. The mechanical stirring defibering method is simple and easy to operate, the defibering degrees are different under different mechanical forces, fig. 20 is a transmission electron microscope image of the multi-level chitin micro/nano fibers after defibering for 5 minutes (embodiment 2) by mechanical stirring, and fig. 21 is a transmission electron microscope image of the multi-level chitin micro/nano fibers after defibering for 20 minutes (embodiment 4) by mechanical stirring. The nanometer thin fibers on the surface of the thick fibers can effectively improve the bonding effect of hydrogen bond combination, have thinner nanometer fiber branches and can further improve the content of free hydroxyl. The sizes of the surface-nanocrystallized coarse fibers and the nanocrystallized branch sizes thereof were different under mechanical stirring for 5 minutes and 20 minutes, thereby demonstrating that mechanical force can effectively achieve more fine nanofiber formation and finer nanocrystallization treatment of the surface of the coarse fibers.
The chitin crude fiber bundle is mechanically stirred to obtain fine fibers with finer and more nano-processed surfaces. Specifically, the chitin crude fiber can be defibered by mechanical stirring for 5-20 minutes to prepare crude fiber with the size of 100-400 nm, the crude fiber is defibered to obtain fine fiber with the size of 10-50 nm, and fine fiber branches with the surface nanocrystallization size of 2-20 nm are further arranged on the fine fiber.
More specifically, the mechanical stirring for 5 minutes can obtain coarse fibers having a size of 150-400 nm, fine fibers having a surface nanocrystallized size of 20-50 nm, and fine fiber branches having a finer branch size of 10-20 nm. The coarse fiber with the size of 100-150 nm can be obtained by mechanical stirring for 20 minutes, the fine fiber with the surface nanocrystallization size of 10-30 and the fine fiber branch with the finer branch size of 2-15 nm can be obtained; wherein, 1-4wt% of glacial acetic acid can be added in the stirring process, so that the fine fiber content in the defibering process is further improved, and the fiber content of the nano fiber with finer fiber branches is increased in the size of about 2-8 nm.
FIG. 22 is a schematic view of the principle of adhesive-free self-bonding at the overlapping part (bonding part) of the formed edges of the straws in examples 1-7. In a wet state, the free hydroxyl groups at the bonding part are increased by the nano-scale fine fibers obtained by defibering the chitin fibers, and the bonding force of hydrogen bonds is enhanced; through the natural drying process, the hydroxyl groups are tightly combined to form hydrogen bonds, and the glue-free self-bonding process of the straw is realized. The coarse fibers can provide a part of hydrogen bonds required for bonding and also play a role in supporting the suction pipe wall; wherein the fine fibers obtained by defibering are gathered into coarse fiber bundles again by the binding force of hydrogen bonds in the drying process, and the stiffness and the hardness of the whole straw are also given while the bonding effect of the lap joint is completed.
Further, it can be observed from the microscopic cross-sectional morphology of the overlapping and bonding part of the straw shown in fig. 23 that almost no boundary line is observed at the bonding part of the two layers of straw materials, and the bonding is tight, which indicates that the non-adhesive bonding of the straw wall can be effectively realized through the hydrogen bonding.
And (IV) analyzing results.
The chitin straw in the embodiments 1 to 7 is a novel all-biomass natural degradable straw which is more environment-friendly and safer than a paper straw, and the appearance of the chitin straw is shown in fig. 10, and the dry tensile strength and the wet tensile strength of a formed film are higher than those of common commercial paper (32 MPa to 1.4 MPa).
The straw is made of waste crab shells, so that the waste resources are recycled, and the raw materials are green, environment-friendly and naturally biodegradable; the problem of energy consumption caused by lack of wood resources in the production and processing process of the paper straws can be effectively solved; and the straw can be completely recycled, is easy to produce and process, and has lower cost, and the cost of a single straw can be controlled below 1 minute. The whole process of preparing the chitin micro/nano fiber straw does not need to add any wet strength agent, chemical filler, auxiliary agent and the like; the curled and formed edge is not required to be bonded by any adhesive, and the adhesive-free self-bonding straw with higher strength can be formed and prepared by natural drying. The all-biomass straw prepared based on the waste crab shells only contains chitin or chitin and partial protein, is completely derived from natural crab shells, and is more environment-friendly and safer than the existing paper straw. Meanwhile, the chitin straw prepared by taking the crab shells as the raw material cannot cause the problem of environmental pollution, can be buried in soil for natural degradation, and cannot cause harm to natural organisms even if being discarded at will.
The bending resistance of the chitin glue-free self-adhesive chitin straw is good, the bending strength of the chitin glue-free self-adhesive chitin straw is more than 2-3 times that of a paper straw and a plastic straw (the bending strength of a commercial paper straw is 7.3 MPa, and the bending strength of a commercial plastic straw is 6.9 MPa), the paper straw is mostly bonded by 3-4 layers of base paper, and the mechanical strength of the straw wall of the chitin glue-free self-adhesive straw is far higher than that of the paper straw when the chitin glue-free self-adhesive straw is only 2 layers. After the three-point bending strength test, the surface of the straw cannot crack under pressure, the straw cannot crack under external force bending while having high stiffness, the straw has good bonding effect and high stiffness, and the straw wall is not soft and layered after being soaked in water for more than 24 hours for a long time.
The process parameters and performance data for each example are shown in the table below.
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
As can be seen from the comparison of examples 1, 2 and 4, the defibering effect of the chitin fiber bundles is different under different mechanical forces, and the time and the force of mechanical stirring can be used for controlling the number of free hydroxyl groups. Within a certain range, the longer the mechanical stirring time is, the more the tentacle-shaped fine fibers on the surface of the coarse fibers are, the more the number of the hydroxyl groups is increased correspondingly, the stronger the bonding force of the hydrogen bonds formed among the hydroxyl groups is, and the stronger the dry tensile strength, the elastic modulus, the wet tensile strength and the tensile shear strength of the bonding part of the corresponding straw single membrane are.
It can be seen from the comparison between examples 2 and 6, and between examples 3 and 7 that, after the natural proteins in the crab shells are retained in the process of pulping to prepare the chitin micro/nano-scale fiber straw pulp, the dry tensile strength, the elastic modulus and the wet tensile strength of the prepared straw single membrane are all reduced, that is, the mechanical properties of the straw are slightly reduced, but the performance of the straw single membrane can still meet the use requirements. On the other hand, the deproteinization process is omitted in the embodiment 6 and the embodiment 7, so that the production cost can be reduced, and the production period can be greatly shortened, thereby having obvious advantages in large-scale production.
As can be seen from the comparison of examples 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, the single membrane for straw prepared by adding acid during pulping has stronger dry tensile strength, elastic modulus, wet tensile strength and tensile shear strength of the bonding part. This is because the addition of acetic acid solution during the pulping process promotes the nanocrystallization of chitin based on the natural properties of chitin. It is worth noting that the preparation of the micro/nano-fibers of the chitin is based on the arrangement of the naturally existing chitin nano-fibers in the crab shells, the formation of the chitin nano-fibers cannot be specially changed by the presence or absence of acid, but the naturally existing nano-fibers are refined by mechanical stirring to different degrees.
