Definitions

  • the present invention relates to biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starch which contains side chains bonded via ester groups, the proportion by weight of the side chains being at least 10% by weight, based on the biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starch, and the global migration being less than 50 mg / dm 2 , determined in accordance with the conditions laid down in Directive 90/128 / EEC.
  • the present invention relates to methods for producing this starch and to the use thereof. Preferred embodiments can be found in the subclaims and in the description.
  • ethers and esters of starch such as starch acetate or starch acetate butyrate, are known which can be processed thermoplastic - essentially without the addition of plasticizers or plasticizers.
  • these known derivatives of starch are not biodegradable or only very slowly.
  • TPS can be partially esterified with polyhydroxyalkanoates or with the lactones of hydroxyalkanoates.
  • DE-A-42 37 535 discloses the starches which, for example, are converted into TPS with hydroxy acids such as lactic acid as an additive.
  • hydroxy acids such as lactic acid as an additive.
  • native starches ie native starches with a water content of less than 10%, are preferably used to produce the TPS.
  • the TPS is then reacted with polymers which contain groups reactive towards the starch.
  • suitable reactive groups are epoxy, anhydride or ester groups which are built into the polymer chain and become reactive with the starch at elevated temperature.
  • the starches obtainable in this way have a low degree of grafting and contain homogeneously mixed aggregate.
  • TPS is degassed with polycaprolactone before the reaction in order to be able to use a TPS with the lowest possible water content.
  • Compositions produced in this way are biodegradable. However, they can only be processed thermoplastically as long as the aggregate is contained in the composition. However, they have the disadvantage that the aggregate mixed homogeneously with the starch emerges from the composition during processing and also later in the course of time or can be eluted. This is particularly disadvantageous if packaging materials for the food sector are to be produced from the compositions or their blends with other polymers.
  • starch such a wide variety of origins or compositions can be used as starch.
  • the expression starch includes, for example, polysaccharides of natural, vegetable origin, which are mainly composed of amylose and / or amylopectin.
  • Starch can be obtained from various plants, for example potatoes, rice, tapioca, corn, peas or cereals such as wheat, oats or rye. Starches made from potatoes, corn, wheat or rice are preferred. Mixtures of starches of different origins can also be used.
  • native starches which are produced by drying raw starch obtained from plants and have a water content of about 10 to 20% by weight, based on the starch, are assumed.
  • physically modified starches can also be used. These can also be starches which have been modified by adding acids.
  • Starches can also be used in which the ions contained in the starch have been partially or completely replaced by other ions.
  • Native starches are preferred. Particular preference is given to native starches with a reduced water content, for example a water content of less than 6% by weight, in particular less than 1% by weight, very particularly preferably 0.001 to 0.2% by weight, based on the starch .
  • the starches according to the invention are biodegradable. In general, this means that the strengths disintegrate under environmental influences in a reasonable and verifiable period of time.
  • the degradation takes place, for example, hydrolytically and / or oxidatively, for the most part through the action of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, fungi and algae.
  • Biodegradability can be determined, for example, by mixing samples with compost and storing them for a certain period of time. For example, compost ripened according to ASTM D 5338 is flowed through with CO-free air during co-posting and subjected to a defined temperature program.
  • the ratio of the net C0 release of the sample (after deduction of the C0 2 release by the compost without sample) to the maximum C0 2 release of the sample (calculated from the carbon content of the sample) is defined as biodegradability.
  • Films made from the starches according to the invention generally show clear signs of degradation, such as fungal growth, cracking and pitting, after only a few days of storage in the compost.
  • the starches can be processed thermoplastically, i.e. they can be processed at elevated temperatures, for example in the range from 100 to 230 ° C., preferably in the range from 120 to 160 ° C., using conventional methods such as extrusion or injection molding to give extrusion films, blow-molded (tubular) films or molded parts.
  • the biodegradable and thermoplastic processable starch chains contain side chains which are bonded to the starch molecules via ester groups.
  • the starches according to the invention can also contain side groups which are bonded to the starch molecules via ether or acetal groups or a mixture of these groups.
  • the side chains can be derived from monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric compounds which can be esterified, etherified or acetalized with the hydroxyl groups or aldehyde groups contained in the starch.
  • Side chains of different chain lengths can also be bound to the starch molecules.
  • a wide variety of side chains are possible, but preference is given to those which are derived from compounds which are themselves biodegradable. Particular preference is given to those which, during biodegradation, do not give rise to any additional compounds which are harmful to the environment, such as nitrogen compounds which can lead to overfertilization.
  • Suitable side chains are those derived from hydroxyalkenylcarboxylic acids, their oligomers or polymers, esters of alkane carboxylic acids with diols, their oligomers or polymers or mixtures of the compounds mentioned.
  • Lactic acid, dilactide, polylactide, glycolic acid, glycolide are included , Polyglycolide, caprolactone, polycaprolactone, C to C esters of adipic acid, succinic acid, subacid, glutaric acid, oligomers or polymers of C to C 4 esters of adipic acid, succinic acid, subacid or glutaric acid. It is also possible to use copolyesters of the compounds mentioned.
  • R 1 , R 2 , R 3 are the same or different and, independently of one another, can mean a C 1 to C 5 alkenyl radical. This can be both linear and branched.
  • Preferred alkenyl radicals are methylene, ethylene, propylene, i-propylene, n-butylene, i-butylene and t-butylene.
  • the variables n and m can independently be an integer from 1 to 10.
  • the biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starch particularly preferably contains side chains which are derived from a mixture of lactic acid and polycaprolactone.

  • 20 to 80% by weight of all side chains are derived from monomeric compounds and 20 to 80% by weight of all side chains from oligomeric or polymeric compounds.
  • the degree of substitution of the starch is essential to the invention, since it can only be processed thermoplastically with a sufficiently high degree of substitution, for example at least 0.5 (based on the anhydroglucose units of the starch).
  • the proportion by weight of the side chains is therefore at least 10% by weight, based on the biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starch according to the invention. It can be, for example, up to 40% by weight, but is also higher. It is preferably at least 15, in particular at least 20% by weight, based on the starch according to the invention. The proportion is particularly preferably at least 30% by weight.
  • the biodegradable and thermoplastic processable starches have a global migration of less than 50 mg / dm 2 , determined in accordance with the conditions specified in Directive 90/128 / EEC. Alternatively, they have a global migration of less than 300 mg / kg of food.
  • Preferred biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starches according to the invention have global migrations of less than 40 mg / dm 2 or 240 mg / kg of food, in particular less than 20 mg / dm 2 or 120 mg / kg of food.
  • Biodegradable and thermoplastically processable starches according to the invention which have global migrations of less than 10 mg / dm 2 or 60 mg / kg of foodstuffs are very particularly preferred.
  • Global migration values are determined according to the directive by exposing plastics to various solvents at certain temperatures and for a prescribed period of time. The amount of the components washed out of the plastic is then determined and given in mg / dm 3 .
  • the global migration can be measured by bringing certain foods into contact with the plastic to be examined under standardized conditions. The foreign substances ingested in the food are determined. The global migration figure is expressed as mg / kg of food.
