Description

Method for preparing polylactic acid by utilizing modified cellulose nanocrystalline
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polylactic acid, and particularly relates to a method for preparing polylactic acid by utilizing modified cellulose nanocrystals.
Background
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a polymer obtained by polymerizing lactic acid as a main raw material, is a non-toxic, non-irritating, biocompatible and biodegradable high molecular compound, and can participate in metabolism of human body in vivo, and is widely used in the fields of medical treatment, clothing, industry, food packaging industry and the like.
The preparation method of the polylactic acid mainly comprises a direct polycondensation method and a ring-opening polymerization method, wherein the polylactic acid is obtained by direct dehydration condensation of the lactic acid, and the product obtained by the method has lower relative molecular weight, wider molecular weight distribution, easy decomposition and no practical value; the latter depolymerizes the oligomer obtained after lactic acid dehydration condensation under the action of a catalyst to obtain lactide, and then adds the catalyst to carry out ring-opening polymerization to obtain polylactic acid with higher relative molecular mass, and the ring-opening polymerization method has no small molecular byproducts, so that the polymerization reaction degree can be accurately controlled and improved, the molecular weight of the obtained polylactic acid product reaches more than 10 ten thousand, and the performance index of the polylactic acid product reaches the performance requirement of being used as a common structural material, thereby being a general technical process for industrial production of polylactic acid at present.
Theoretically, PLA belongs to a crystalline polymer, and crystallization occurs during cooling in molding processing, but only the properties of semi-crystalline resins can be achieved in practical production, and the degree of crystallization is low and the crystallization speed is slow. If the crystallinity is not improved more, the heat resistance and transparency of the product are affected, for example, the glass transition temperature of low-crystallization PLA is only about 60 ℃, and the crystallization capability of PLA can be improved by modifying PLA, so that the heat resistance, transparency, tensile strength, bending strength and modulus, degradation rate and barrier property can be improved.
However, the nucleation rate and crystallization rate of PLA under homogeneous nucleation conditions are low, and the nucleation speed is increased by adding a nucleating agent, so that the surface free barrier required by PLA nucleation can be reduced by adding the nucleating agent, and the PLA is heterogeneous for nucleation, thereby shortening the crystallization time, increasing the crystallization rate and promoting the crystallization of PLA. In addition, the nucleation mobility of the molecular chains is increased by adding a plasticizer, thereby improving the crystallization performance of PLA. The nucleating agent of PLA has the main functions of improving the nucleation density, shortening the semi-crystallization time and reducing the nucleation induction period, and mainly comprises an inorganic nucleating agent and an organic nucleating agent. The inorganic nucleating agent commonly used at present has the advantages of layered silicate, inorganic salts, carbon and the like, and the inorganic nucleating agent has the defects of poor compatibility with PLA, general nucleating effect and low price. While organic nucleating agents have good compatibility and good nucleating effect, but are expensive.
Cellulose nanocrystals are rod-like nanomaterials extracted from cellulose, and are usually separated from the fibers by sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, whereby the disordered and semi-crystalline portions of the cellulose are preferentially hydrolyzed during acid treatment, and the crystalline portions are completely retained because they are better resistant to acidolysis, thus obtaining cellulose nanocrystals. The cellulose nanocrystalline has excellent performances of complete biodegradability, low density, high strength and the like, and can be used as a crystallization nucleating agent of PLA. The cellulose nanocrystalline and the polylactic acid are compounded to prepare the nanocomposite to improve the performance of the polylactic acid, so that the application range of the polylactic acid can be effectively enlarged. However, because the cellulose nanocrystals have strong hydrogen bonding effect, the cellulose nanocrystals are easy to aggregate in a solution and are unfavorable for dispersion, so that the application of the cellulose nanocrystals in polylactic acid materials is limited. On the other hand, the nano particles have obvious hydrophilicity, which is not beneficial to the compatibility between cellulose nano crystals and polylactic acid, and the combination of the cellulose nano crystals and polylactic acid brings great challenges.
