comparative example 1 was different from example 1 in that the raw material of the heat-resistant coating layer of comparative example 1 did not contain a crosslinking agent, and comparative sample 1 was obtained in the same manner as in example 1.
Comparative example 2:
comparative example 2 is different from example 1 in that the raw material of the heat-resistant coating layer of comparative example 2 does not contain a photoinitiator, and otherwise the same as example 1, comparative sample 2 is obtained.
Comparative example 3:
comparative example 3 is different from example 1 in that the inorganic platelet filler in the raw material of the heat-resistant coating layer in comparative example 3 is not modified by the silane coupling agent, and otherwise the same as example 1, comparative sample 3 is obtained.
Comparative example 4:
comparative sample 4 was obtained by using the packaging composite film obtained by the method of example 1 described in the prior art with the patent number CN111267446 as comparative example 4.
Comparative example 5:
the HDPE film (melting point: 128 ℃) of the same thickness as that of example 1 described in the prior art in CN113388180 was subjected to a secondary stretching treatment to obtain a comparative sample 5.
Comparative examples 6 to 10:
to verify the effect of relative humidity on the present application, comparative examples 6 to 10 were designed, and comparative examples 6 to 10 differ from example 1 in the relative humidity, and comparative examples 6 to 10 were obtained, respectively, in the same manner as in example 1, with specific relative humidities shown in the following table 6.
Table 6: relative humidity of
Performance tests were conducted on the PE films obtained in examples 1 to 5 and the comparative samples 1 to 10 obtained in comparative examples 1 to 10, respectively, according to the following methods.
Heat sealing performance: heat sealing temperature 160 ℃, pressure: 0.2MPa, time 0.4s. And (5) observing the heat sealing fastness and knife sticking condition of the sample to be tested.
Heat shrinkage rate: the samples were cut into 50X 50 mm pieces, placed in an oven at 120℃for 30min, taken out for measurement and the longitudinal and transverse shrinkage was calculated.
Coating binding force: the sample was cut into 50X 50 mm pieces and placed under a friction tester for reciprocating friction experiments. The experimental conditions were as follows: the friction head is a 30X 30 mm sponge friction head, the load is 50g, the friction length is 1cm, the friction times are 100 times, and the friction mode is as follows: and (5) dry grinding. The sample sheet friction area was then cut to size 30X 30 mm, placed in an oven at 120℃for 30min, and the measurement was taken out and the longitudinal and transverse shrinkage after friction was calculated. The results are shown in Table 7 below.
Table 7: performance comparison
From the data analysis of table 6, the PE films prepared in examples 1 to 5 in the present application have more excellent heat resistance, and are shown to have better heat sealing performance, firm heat sealing, no knife adhesion, and lower heat shrinkage, which indicates that the examples have better heat stability. Moreover, the PE films obtained in examples 1 to 5 of the present invention can be recovered and have excellent flexibility and transparency.
The comparative examples 1-2 do not contain a cross-linking agent or a photoinitiator, and the examples 1-5 contain the cross-linking agent and the photoinitiator, so that the heat resistance of the coating and the binding force to the PE film substrate can be effectively improved, and the good retention degree can be maintained after friction test, which shows that the heat shrinkage rate after friction is not changed obviously. In comparative examples 1-2 without cross-linking agent and photoinitiator, the coating was destroyed after abrasion and the heat shrinkage yield was significantly improved. The inorganic platelet filler in comparative example 3 was not modified with the silane coupling agent, and it can be seen that the performance was inferior to that of the examples. Comparative examples 4 to 5 are technical schemes disclosed in the prior art, and it is obvious that samples in comparative example 4 and comparative example 5 are all sticky and inapplicable, and are difficult to meet the requirements of the prior art. Comparative examples 6-10 are different relative humidities, and it can be seen that the performance of the PE film prepared in the present application is also affected by the process parameters of the relative humidities.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of curing the heat-resistant coating of example 1 according to the present invention, and as can be seen from FIG. 2, the benefits of the application of photoinitiated graft polymerization are: firstly, the photoinitiation reaction has higher reaction efficiency, and the crosslinking degree can be regulated and controlled by adjusting the light input intensity; secondly, the reaction can be carried out at room temperature or low temperature, so that the defects of shrinkage, warping or uneven surface of the PE film caused by high temperature initiation are avoided; and thirdly, the method can be used for continuous production, and meets the requirements of scale and industrialization. The in-situ chain extension reaction and the photo-grafting reaction can be completed in the UV irradiation box 1 with humidity control, and the crosslinking degree of the coating is regulated by regulating the humidity and the irradiation intensity, namely, the humidity is improved to be beneficial to chain extension; the irradiation intensity is improved, the crosslinking and grafting are facilitated, and the drying treatment is carried out in the drying box 2.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
