Description

Biodegradable mulching film with soil protection effect and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biodegradable films, in particular to a biodegradable mulching film with a soil protection effect and a preparation method thereof, and the PBAT composite film prepared by blow molding has excellent mechanical property and water vapor barrier property through the introduction of low-cost biochar with the soil protection effect, and can be used in the field of agricultural planting mulching films.
Background
The plastic products bring more and more attention to environmental pollution caused by accumulation of waste plastics while bringing convenience to life of people. Traditional petroleum-based plastic products, such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, are difficult to degrade in natural environments, and cause serious 'white pollution'. The development of environmentally friendly biodegradable polymers has become the focus of research in recent decades. The biodegradable polymer can be degraded into CO within six months under certain conditions 2 The water and biomass can effectively relieve the problem of white pollution, and particularly can be used in the application fields difficult to recycle, such as disposable packages, mulching films and the like.
Polybutylene terephthalate-adipate (PBAT) has excellent processing, mechanical and biological degradation properties, and is expected to replace Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) to be applied to different fields. Among them, the field of agricultural mulching film with high recovery cost and serious pollution is one of sites where PBAT is expected to be applied on a large scale. The agricultural film currently used takes petroleum-based plastics as raw materials, the main component of the low-density polyethylene is not degraded after being remained in the field for decades, broken films are accumulated on a soil cultivation layer year by year after being used for successive years, so that soil hardening and permeability deterioration are caused, the root growth of crops is hindered, and the yield of succeeding crops is reduced. According to the investigation of China department of agriculture, the residual quantity of the mulching film in China is generally 60-90 kg/hectare, and the maximum quantity is 165 kg/hectare at present. Researches show that when the residual film content in the soil is 58.5 kg/hectare, the corn yield is reduced by 11-23%, the wheat yield is reduced by 9-16%, the soybean yield is reduced by 5.5-9%, and the vegetable yield is reduced by 14.6-59.2%. Therefore, the existing agricultural mulching film is greatly concerned in pollution control in China. An effective way to solve this problem is to change the material matrix and develop a biodegradable agricultural mulching film. At present, the existing test results show that the biodegradable mulching film based on PBAT has shown good effects on potato, peanut, tobacco and rice production. However, it is urgent to solve the problems of economy and service properties such as low modulus and poor barrier properties.
Blending or adding low cost inorganic fillers is a widely adopted strategy to solve the above problems. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is often used for blending modification of biodegradable polymers because of its low cost, but its introduction also leads to further degradation of mechanical properties and moisture barrier properties due to compatibility issues, as well as the intrinsic hydrophilic character of TPS. Other biodegradable polymers are also used for modification of PBAT to prepare mulch specialty materials. The Chinese patent application with publication number of CN 114806106A discloses a preparation method of a special material for the PBAT-based biodegradable mulch film, and the PBAT-based biodegradable mulch film is prepared by a blending method. In chinese patent applications publication nos. CN114874476A, CN114933785A and CN114591609a, there are also disclosed biomass fillers (cellulose, lignin, modified rice hull powder, etc.), nanofillers (e.g. hydrotalcite nanoplatelets), and technical solutions that are also introduced into PBAT to enhance the performance of PBAT and reduce its cost. Nanoclays have also been incorporated into PBAT or blends of PBAT to enhance their processability and moisture barrier properties (ref: akhlish et al Composites Part B: engineering 2021.198,108141).
The biochar is prepared by pyrolysis of waste biomass and is mainly used for soil improvement. Recently, it has been shown that the reinforcing effect and the black dyeing effect are exhibited when added to a polymer matrix. Furthermore, the use of such fillers in agricultural mulch has a number of advantages: the cost is low, and the black and inherent high modulus are expected to improve the mechanical properties of the polymer phase. Furthermore, the natural high porosity of biochar may lead to further enhancement of barrier properties by entrapment of air or water within the pores, which is rarely reported compared to its application as a supercapacitor or adsorbent, etc. With the degradation of PBAT in soil, the biochar is released to be expected to play a role in soil improvement and promotion of PBAT degradation. The prepared black film is expected to be applied to the field of covering agriculture and other packaging applications. The introduction of biochar into PBAT to prepare the biodegradable mulch film with low cost and high performance is not disclosed and reported.

Example 2
A preparation method of a biodegradable mulching film with soil protection effect comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparation of a compatilizer: after 94 parts of PBAT and 5 parts of maleic anhydride were blended, 1 part of 2, 5-dimethyl-2, 5-bis (t-butylperoxy) hexane as a radical initiator was added, and the mixture was fed into a twin-screw extruder to be mixed, the extrusion temperature was set at 130/135/140/150/150/140/135/130 ℃from a feed section to a die section), and the screw rotation speed was set at 60rpm.
(2) 20 parts of biochar with the water content lower than 0.5wt%, 74 parts of PBAT (poly (butylene terephthalate)) and 5 parts of compatilizer are dried, 1 part of compound lubricant (stearic acid amide: n-butyl stearate compound according to the mass ratio of 1:1) is mixed and granulated at 180 ℃ and 100rpm in a double screw extruder (a double screw extruder of Coperion) to form composite material particles, and the composite material particles are subjected to blow molding by using a single screw micro extruder (RCP-0625 single screw micro extruder model of Randcastle Co., U.S.) at the blow molding temperature of 180, 180, 180 and 170 ℃ (mouth die temperature) and the screw speed of 20rpm.
Comparative example 1
A preparation method of a PBAT blown film comprises the following steps: 100 parts of PBAT matrix is dried for 24 hours in a vacuum oven at 80 ℃, and then added into a single screw extruder for direct extrusion blow molding, thus obtaining the PBAT film.
Comparative example 2
A preparation method of a biodegradable mulch film comprises the following steps: 10 parts of dried biochar and 90 parts of PBAT were pelletized by blending in a twin screw extruder (twin screw extruder from Coperion, corp., germany) at 180℃and 100rpm, and the pellets were blow molded by a single screw micro extruder (RCP-0625 single screw micro extruder from Randcastle Co., U.S.A.), the blow molding temperature was set at 180, 180, 180, 170℃and the screw speed was 20rpm.
Effect verification experiments the bubble stability of the above examples and comparative examples in the film blowing process, as shown in fig. 1, it can be seen from the accompanying drawings that the introduction of biochar did not destroy the excellent film blowing stability of PBAT, and the bubble stability was improved with the increase of the compatibilizing agent compared to 2 parts (example 1) and 5 parts (example 2).
The light transmittance of the biodegradable film and the electron photograph of the biochar dispersion are shown in fig. 2, in which it can be seen that the light transmittance of the film is reduced with the increase of the biochar content (10 parts (example 1) vs.20 parts (example 2)).
From the SEM images shown in fig. 3 of the dispersion of biochar in PBAT and the action of biochar-PBAT matrix interface, it was found that in comparative example 1, the action of biochar and polymer matrix interface was weak without the compatibilizer, and the separation of biochar and matrix was remarkable; after the compatibilization (examples 1 and 2), the biochar particles and the PBAT matrix interface were more effective and the inorganic filler was less dislodged from the matrix. More importantly, as the compatibilizer is added, the size of the biochar agglomerates is reduced and the dispersibility of the biochar in the PBAT is improved.
The tensile properties of the blown films of examples and comparative examples were measured in the Transverse (TD) and Machine (MD) directions of the composite films as shown in table 1 below, and the results were an average of 4 samples. The water vapor barrier properties of the examples and comparative examples were tested as shown in table 1 below, and the results are an average of 2 samples, under conditions of 38.7 ℃ and 100% RH. From the mechanical properties, the introduction of pure biochar increased the modulus of PBAT, but at the same time the elongation at break was also reduced (comparative example 2), which was caused by uneven dispersion of inorganic particles; with the introduction of compatilizer and lubricant, the elongation at break of the material is improved, the elongation at break of the material in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is close to or even higher than that of pure PBAT, and the tensile modulus is further increased to more than twice that of the PBAT. From the aspect of water vapor permeability, the introduction of the biochar, especially at high content (20 parts of biochar, example 2), reduces the water vapor permeability to 21% of PBAT, and greatly improves the moisturizing performance of the PBAT film.
