Description

Thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of starch-based foam materials, in particular to a thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material and a preparation method of the foam material.
Background
Petrochemical polymers dominate the packaging field due to their excellent properties, and commonly used petrochemical polymer packaging materials mainly include Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The foam packaging material is mostly prepared from Polystyrene (PS), and is widely applied to packaging of industrial products such as electronics and precision equipment and living goods. However, the raw materials for preparing these foam packaging materials are derived from petroleum, which is a non-renewable energy source, and the search for new renewable materials to replace petrochemical polymer foam materials is a development trend in the future.
Starch is widely available and is second only to cellulose in nature. The starch-based material has the advantages of low cost, degradability and the like, but the starch-based material has more hydroxyl content, strong water absorption, large viscosity, low mechanical strength and poor thermal stability. In order to improve the mechanical properties and processing flow properties of starch-based materials, plasticizers may be added to the starch or inorganic materials, such as fillers like calcium carbonate, talc, sodium chloride and calcium chloride, may be added to the starch-based materials to enhance the mechanical properties of the starch-based materials. Meanwhile, in order to solve the problem of poor stability of the starch-based material, degradable polyester substances, such as polylactic acid (PLA), poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), poly (hydroxy ester ether) (PHEE), polyhydroxybutyrate/valerate (PHBV), and the like, may be added to the starch-based material. However, in China with immature and low popularization rate in the prior art, the modified starch-based foam material is still more expensive than a non-degradable foam product, the process is complicated, and a plasticizer, a filler and a polymer with good water resistance need to be added simultaneously to improve the comprehensive performance. Relevant investigation shows that the price of degradable foam prepared by modified starch is more than half higher than that of the traditional non-degradable foam product. Therefore, a new substance is needed to modify the starch-based foam material, so that the cost is reduced, and the starch-based foam material has better mechanical property and thermal stability.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the examples given herein without any inventive step, are within the scope of the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material obtained by a copolycondensation reaction of raw materials including starch and furfuryl alcohol. In one embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the starch to the furfuryl alcohol is 1 (0.5-1).
The invention improves the thermal stability of the starch-based foam material by introducing furfuryl alcohol with better thermal stability to react with starch. In a preferred scheme, the content of free hydroxyl can be further reduced by adding a small amount of formaldehyde to react with the free hydroxyl of the starch, so that the viscosity of the starch-based foam material is reduced. The raw materials adopted by the invention are mostly from biomass materials, and starch does not need to be modified, such as heat treatment, surface ultraviolet crosslinking and chemical modification of the starch, and the preparation process is simple. The obtained starch-based foam material has better hardness, compressive strength and heat resistance.
The invention also relates to a preparation method of the foam material, and the flow chart of the method is shown in figure 1, and the method comprises the following steps:
(1) preparation of thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol resin
(i) Mixing starch with water, adding NaOH to adjust the pH value to 9-10, then adding water and stirring to obtain paste, wherein the purpose of the step is to expand and degrade the starch;
in one embodiment of the invention, the starch is selected from at least one of corn starch, tapioca starch, wheat starch, potato starch, sweet potato starch, bean starch and rice starch. The mass ratio of the starch to the water is 1 (1-2). The starch is native starch, and modified starch such as acid hydrolyzed starch, esterified starch, oxidized starch, etherified starch or cross-linked starch can also be used. Since the cost of modified starch is higher than that of native starch, native starch is preferably used as the raw material in the present invention.
In one embodiment of the invention, NaOH is added in the form of an aqueous solution, and the mass concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 20-40%.
(ii) (ii) mixing the paste obtained in the step (i) with furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde, adding p-toluenesulfonic acid to adjust the pH value to 2-3, and then stirring for 2-3 h at 50-70 ℃;
furfuryl alcohol is a renewable material as it can be obtained from biomass materials such as corn, wheat processing residues; and the furfuryl alcohol contains stable furan rings and hydroxymethyl, and can react with starch and formaldehyde to improve the mechanical strength and the thermal property of the foam. Thus, the present invention selects furfuryl alcohol to make starch-based foams.
In one embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the starch to the furfuryl alcohol is 1 (0.5-1). The addition amount of the furfuryl alcohol cannot be too large because the cost is higher than that of the starch, and the excessive addition amount is easy to generate self-polycondensation, so that the furfuryl alcohol cannot react with the starch; if the furfuryl alcohol is added in an excessively small amount, the reaction effect is not obtained.
In one embodiment of the invention, the stirring reaction is carried out under the water bath condition, namely, the stirring is carried out for 2-3 hours in the water bath at the temperature of 50-70 ℃. The purpose of heating and stirring is to carry out the pre-polycondensation reaction of the starch, the furfuryl alcohol and the formaldehyde. The principle of the prepolycondensation reaction is as follows: under the condition of strong acid, the carbon atom at the ortho position of the furfuryl alcohol furan epoxy atom and the hydroxyl at the end group of the starch are subjected to condensation reaction. Meanwhile, formaldehyde reacts with hydroxymethyl of a Starch side chain and hydroxymethyl of Furfuryl alcohol, and the two can be further condensed to obtain thermosetting Starch/Furfuryl alcohol resin, SF resin for short (the resin is obtained by polycondensation of Starch and Furfuryl alcohol, so that the resin is called SF resin).
The formaldehyde is used as a cross-linking agent and has the function of polymerizing starch and furfuryl alcohol to a certain extent to generate cross-linking, so that an insoluble cross-linked polymer is obtained. The p-toluenesulfonic acid is a strong non-oxidizing acid and is used for adjusting the pH value of the reaction system. Non-oxidizing strong acids are used in order to reduce the degradation of the polymer molecules, and an increase in oxidizing strength promotes the degradation of the polymer.
The reaction of the above starch, furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde is shown below:
Figure BDA0003140418100000051
in one embodiment of the invention, formaldehyde and p-toluenesulfonic acid are added in the form of aqueous solution, the mass concentration of the formaldehyde solution is 37%, and the mass concentration of the p-toluenesulfonic acid solution is 20% -40%.
In one embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the starch, the furfuryl alcohol and the formaldehyde is 1 (0.5-1) to 0.2-0.4.
(2) Preparation of thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam: and (2) adding a foaming agent into the SF resin obtained in the step (1), uniformly mixing, injecting into a mold, carrying out copolycondensation reaction, foaming and curing, and obtaining an SF foam material, namely the thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material.
The foaming agent may be at least one selected from the group consisting of an AC foaming agent and diethyl ether, and functions to reduce the surface tension of the liquid and form fine pores in the polymer. Preferably, the foaming agent is added and simultaneously the foam stabilizer is also added, and the foam stabilizer is at least one selected from Tween, an organic silicon foam stabilizer and a polyurethane foam stabilizer and is used for emulsifying a foam material, stabilizing foam and adjusting foam holes.
In one embodiment of the invention, the mass ratio of the SF resin to the foam stabilizer to the foaming agent is 3 (0-1): 1.
In one embodiment of the invention, the foaming and curing temperature is 60-80 ℃ and the time is 12-15 h, so that the starch and the furfuryl alcohol are subjected to a polycondensation reaction, and the principle of the polycondensation reaction is as shown above. And simultaneously, curing under the action of a foaming agent and a foam stabilizer to obtain the thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material.
More than 90% of the raw materials of the invention come from biomass materials and are natural and renewable. Compared with pure starch-based foam and modified starch-based foam, the thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material provided by the invention has better compressive strength and hardness, and is simple in preparation process and lower in cost.

(i) Mixing corn starch with the purity of 90-95% and distilled water according to the mass ratio of 1:1, stirring for 5 minutes, adding NaOH aqueous solution with the mass concentration of 30% to adjust the pH value to 9, then continuously adding distilled water and stirring to obtain paste;
(ii) (ii) transferring the paste obtained in the step (i) into a three-neck flask, adding furfuryl alcohol and a 37% formaldehyde aqueous solution, adding a 30% p-toluenesulfonic acid aqueous solution to adjust the pH value to 2, and stirring for 2 hours in a water bath at 60 ℃ to obtain SF resin;

And placing the mould in an oven at 60 ℃ for foaming and curing for 12h to obtain the thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam material.
The foaming agent is an AC foaming agent, and the foam stabilizer is Tween 80. The mass ratio of the SF resin to the foam stabilizer to the foaming agent is 3:1: 1.
The reaction conditions in examples 2 to 7 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were changed, and the specific settings are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Examples Modified reaction conditions
Example 2 Step (ii) of(1) In the preparation method, the mass ratio of the starch, the furfuryl alcohol and the formaldehyde is 1:1: 0.2.
Example 3 In the step (1), the mass ratio of the starch, the furfuryl alcohol and the formaldehyde is 1:0.3: 0.2.

Example 6 In the step (1), the mass ratio of the starch, the furfuryl alcohol and the formaldehyde is 1:0.5: 0.5.
Example 7 In the step (2), the mass ratio of the SF resin, the foam stabilizer and the foaming agent is 3:0: 1.
Comparative example 1 In the step (1), furfuryl alcohol is replaced by benzyl alcohol.
Comparative example 2 In the step (1), formaldehyde is not added.
Comparative example 3 In the step (1), the aqueous solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid is replaced by an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of the same concentration.
The parameters of examples 2 to 7 and comparative examples 1 to 3 were the same as those of example 1 except for the parameters described in table 1.
Comparative example 4
The preparation method of the starch-based foam by using ungelatinized starch comprises the following steps: in the step (1), starch and water are directly mixed to obtain paste, and then furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde are added for subsequent reaction. Namely, the procedure was the same as in example 1 except that NaOH was not added in step (1).
Comparative example 5
The preparation method adopts modified starch-based foam, wherein the modified starch is carboxymethyl starch, and comprises the following steps: 50mL of distilled water is placed in a 250mL three-neck flask, 25g of NaOH aqueous solution with the mass concentration of 30% is added, 50g of starch and 5g of chloroacetic acid are added while stirring, the stirring is continued to uniformly mix the substances, and the three-neck flask is placed in a 55 ℃ water bath and stirred for 5 hours. After the reaction is finished, reducing the temperature of the system, and adjusting the pH value of the reaction system to 6-7. And then carrying out suction filtration, washing the precipitate with distilled water, and drying to obtain the carboxymethyl starch. The subsequent preparation of SF resin and thermosetting starch/furfuryl alcohol foam using the carboxymethyl starch was the same as in example 1.
The starch-based foams prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were tested for mechanical properties and thermal stability. The compressive strength and modulus of elasticity tests of the foams were carried out according to GBT15048-1996, including tests carried out using a general-purpose tester (AG-50KN, Shimadzu, Japan) and an indenter of 50 KN. The samples were cut to dimensions of 30X 1.5mm and compression tested at a constant loading rate of 2.0 mm/min.
The thermal stability of the foam was checked using a TGA 5500 analyzer (TA instruments, USA) comprising transferring 5-8mg of sample powder into a platinum pan, testing under a nitrogen flow at a heating rate of 10 ℃/min, the test temperature rising from room temperature to 800 ℃, resulting in mass loss at 300 ℃ and 500 ℃. The results of the above tests are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003140418100000081
As can be seen from table 2, examples 2 and 4 increased the amount of furfuryl alcohol added as compared to example 1. The addition amount of furfuryl alcohol in example 2 is still within the range of the invention, and the measured compressive strength, elastic modulus and heat resistance are partially improved compared with those in example 1, which shows that the performance is not greatly improved by increasing the amount of furfuryl alcohol; on the basis of the above, the performance of the foam is reduced by continuously increasing the addition amount of furfuryl alcohol.
Example 3 the furfuryl alcohol addition was reduced and all properties measured were lower than in example 1. The reason is that the furfuryl alcohol is added in an excessively small amount, the starch contains more hydroxyl groups, and the viscosity is excessively high, so that the performance of the foam material is deteriorated.
Example 5 the amount of formaldehyde added was reduced and the measured properties were lower than those of example 1; comparative example 2 no formaldehyde was added and the performance degradation was more pronounced. Example 6 increased the amount of formaldehyde added and the properties measured were slightly higher than those of example 1, indicating that formaldehyde acted as a crosslinking agent.
Example 7, without the addition of a foam stabilizer, also showed a decrease in performance compared to example 1.
Compared with example 1, each performance of comparative example 1 is reduced, which indicates that benzyl alcohol can not replace furfuryl alcohol; comparative example 3 also has lower performance than example 1 because hydrochloric acid is oxidizing and promotes polymer degradation and cannot replace p-toluenesulfonic acid.
Compared with the example 1, the performance of the comparative example 4 is reduced, which shows that the starch is treated by NaOH to achieve the gelatinization effect, and the number of functional groups participating in the reaction is increased; comparative example 5 compared with example 1, the properties of the two are similar, which shows that the invention adopts furfuryl alcohol and formaldehyde to modify starch, and the performance of the obtained foam material is equivalent to that of modified starch foam. In contrast, the preparation cost of the starch foam material is greatly reduced.
The above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of the changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present invention, and all the changes or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the appended claims.
