Description

本発明は、農業用フィルムのような農業又は園芸材料;コンポストバッグ;ラップフィルムなどの食品包装材料;手術糸のような医用材料;魚網のような漁業材料;ラミネート用フィルム;ラベル;容器などに利用できる生分解性のポリ乳酸系樹脂積層フィルムに関する。詳しくは、生分解の時期を自由にコントロールできるポリ乳酸系樹脂積層フィルムに関する。さらに本発明は、この積層フィルムの製造方法及び易分解化処理方法に関する。   Agricultural or horticultural materials such as agricultural films; compost bags; food packaging materials such as wrap films; medical materials such as surgical threads; fishery materials such as fish nets; laminating films; labels; The present invention relates to a biodegradable polylactic acid resin laminated film that can be used. In detail, it is related with the polylactic acid-type resin laminated film which can control the time of biodegradation freely. Furthermore, this invention relates to the manufacturing method of this laminated film, and the easy-decomposition processing method.

プラスチックは軽く、強く、しかも耐久性、成型加工性に優れることから包装材料をはじめ、弱電部品、自動車部品、建材、日用雑貨などの多岐の分野で多量に使用されている。プラスチックの大半を占めるポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン、ポリ塩化ビニルなどの汎用プラスチックは使用後の処分方法として、焼却や埋め立てが行われている。   Plastics are light and strong, and because they are excellent in durability and moldability, they are used in large quantities in various fields such as packaging materials, light electrical parts, automobile parts, building materials, and household goods. General-purpose plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride, which account for the majority of plastics, are incinerated or landfilled as disposal methods after use.

これらの汎用プラスチックは化学的に安定であるため、埋め立て処分を行うと原型をとどめたまま半永久的に残留し、埋立地不足が深刻化する原因の一つとなっている。このように、不要となった大量のプラスチックのゴミをどのように処理するかが、大きな社会問題になっている。また、自然環境下に廃棄された場合には、美観を損ねたり、鳥などの生物が誤って捕食したり、さらには自然環境下の生態系を破壊して環境破壊の一因となっている。   Since these general-purpose plastics are chemically stable, when they are disposed of in landfills, they remain semi-permanently while remaining in their original form, and this is one of the causes of the shortage of landfills. In this way, how to deal with a large amount of plastic waste that has become unnecessary is a major social problem. In addition, when discarded in the natural environment, aesthetics are lost, birds and other organisms accidentally prey on, and the ecosystem in the natural environment is destroyed, contributing to environmental destruction. .

このような地球規模での環境問題に対しての関心が高まるにつれて、自然環境下で生分解して自然界の炭素サイクルに取り込まれる生分解性プラスチックの研究が盛んに行われている。   As interest in environmental problems on a global scale is increasing, research on biodegradable plastics that are biodegraded in the natural environment and incorporated into the natural carbon cycle is actively conducted.

注目されている生分解性プラスチックとしてポリ乳酸がある。ポリ乳酸は高いガラス転移温度を有する熱可塑性樹脂であり、結晶性のものは高い融点(180℃)を有する。原料となる乳酸はコンスターチ等の安価な原料の発酵から効率的に得られることが知られている。ポリ乳酸は通常、この乳酸を直接または環状2量体を経由して重合される。このようにポリ乳酸は農産物を原料とするため石油資源に依存せず、また高強度、高弾性率という物性的にも優れた点が多い。また、分解生成物は乳酸、水、二酸化炭素であり、有害物質は排出されない。   Polylactic acid is a biodegradable plastic that has attracted attention. Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic resin having a high glass transition temperature, and crystalline one has a high melting point (180 ° C.). It is known that lactic acid used as a raw material can be efficiently obtained from fermentation of an inexpensive raw material such as corn starch. Polylactic acid is usually polymerized directly or via a cyclic dimer. Thus, since polylactic acid uses agricultural products as raw materials, it does not depend on petroleum resources, and has many physical properties such as high strength and high elastic modulus. Moreover, decomposition products are lactic acid, water, and carbon dioxide, and no harmful substances are discharged.

ポリ乳酸は、微生物の豊富なコンポスト中では数週間で分解するものの、自然環境中では湿潤条件下で1年から2年で分解する。このようにポリ乳酸は自然環境中での分解速度が遅いため、成形体のように長寿命を必要とする用途には好適であるが、使用期間が短く比較的速く分解することが求められる用途には不向きである。このため、ポリ乳酸系樹脂の自然環境中での生分解性を向上させる技術の開発が種々試みられている。   Polylactic acid degrades in a few weeks in microbial-rich compost, but degrades in natural environments in 1 to 2 years under humid conditions. In this way, polylactic acid has a slow degradation rate in the natural environment, so it is suitable for applications that require a long service life, such as molded products, but applications that require a short period of use and relatively rapid degradation. Not suitable for. For this reason, various attempts have been made to develop techniques for improving the biodegradability of polylactic acid resins in the natural environment.

特許文献1には、ポリ乳酸またはこれと他のポリマーとのブレンド物を、pH7〜13、温度40〜95℃にて分解する方法が開示されている。しかし、この方法によれば、樹脂の分解に室温以上の温度が必要であるため、自然環境中で分解するのは困難である。   Patent Document 1 discloses a method of decomposing polylactic acid or a blend of this and other polymers at a pH of 7 to 13 and a temperature of 40 to 95 ° C. However, according to this method, it is difficult to decompose in a natural environment because a temperature higher than room temperature is required for the decomposition of the resin.

特許文献2及び特許文献3には、ポリ乳酸を主成分とする脂肪族ポリエステルと、アタクチック構造のポリ[(R,S)−3−ヒドロキシブタン酸]とを主成分とする脂肪族ポリエステルとを組み合わせることにより、生分解性を調節する技術が開示されている。この技術によれば、脂肪族ポリエステルの量の増大によって生分解性が促進されるが、フィルムの機械的強度が大きく低下する。特に脂肪族が連続相となる場合は、生分解性が大きく増大する一方、機械的強度が大きく低下する。   Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 include an aliphatic polyester mainly composed of polylactic acid and an aliphatic polyester mainly composed of poly [(R, S) -3-hydroxybutanoic acid] having an atactic structure. A technique for adjusting biodegradability by combining them is disclosed. According to this technique, biodegradability is promoted by increasing the amount of aliphatic polyester, but the mechanical strength of the film is greatly reduced. In particular, when aliphatic becomes a continuous phase, the biodegradability is greatly increased, while the mechanical strength is greatly decreased.

特許文献4には、ポリ乳酸にポリ乳酸分解活性を有する酵素を0〜35℃の温度下で接触させることにより分解する方法が開示されている。しかし、この方法は分解に長時間が必要であるため、用途が限定される。   Patent Document 4 discloses a method of degrading polylactic acid by bringing it into contact with an enzyme having polylactic acid decomposing activity at a temperature of 0 to 35 ° C. However, since this method requires a long time for decomposition, its application is limited.

特許文献5は、ポリ乳酸とポリ乳酸以外の他の成分とで材料の傾斜構造を形成した成形体は、ポリ乳酸本来の機械的強度を保ったまま生分解が促進されることを開示している。ポリ乳酸以外の他の成分としてポリエチレンオキサイドが挙げられている。しかし、材料の傾斜構造を形成するのは、コスト高になる。   Patent Document 5 discloses that a molded body in which a gradient structure of a material is formed of polylactic acid and other components other than polylactic acid is accelerated in biodegradation while maintaining the original mechanical strength of polylactic acid. Yes. Polyethylene oxide is mentioned as another component other than polylactic acid. However, forming the material gradient structure is costly.

文献1〜5の技術では、種々の方法でポリ乳酸の生分解性は促進されるが、一旦フィルム等に成形した後に生分解速度を変更することはできない。このため、生分解性が促進された樹脂ではすぐ分解するため長期使用に適さない。一方、難生分解樹脂は長期使用には耐えるが廃棄した場合の分解速度は非常に遅い。従って、使用時は分解し難く、廃棄時には忽ち分解する樹脂が望まれている。すなわち、分解までの誘導時間があり、分解し始めると迅速に分解する樹脂や、長期使用後にある引き金(トリガー)によって迅速に生分解する樹脂が望まれているが、未だ存在しない。

In the techniques of Documents 1 to 5, the biodegradability of polylactic acid is promoted by various methods, but the biodegradation rate cannot be changed after once formed into a film or the like. For this reason, a resin with enhanced biodegradability is not suitable for long-term use because it decomposes immediately. On the other hand, the hardly biodegradable resin can withstand long-term use, but the degradation rate when discarded is very slow. Therefore, it is desired to use a resin that is difficult to decompose during use and that decomposes when discarded. That is, there is an induction time until decomposition, and a resin that rapidly decomposes when it starts to decompose or a resin that rapidly biodegrades with a trigger after a long-term use is desired, but it does not exist yet.

本発明によれば、生分解開始時を自由にコントロールできるポリ乳酸系樹脂フィルム、その製造方法、及び易分解化処理方法が提供された。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the polylactic acid-type resin film which can control the biodegradation start time freely, its manufacturing method, and the easy-decomposition processing method were provided.

詳述すれば、本発明のポリ乳酸系積層フィルムは、生分解性可塑剤を含むポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物層Aの両面に生分解性可塑剤を含まないポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物層Bが存在するため、常温下で使用中はポリ乳酸と同程度に生分解し難い。また、加熱することにより、生分解性可塑剤が層B中を拡散して積層フィルム表面にまで分布し、積層フィルムの生分解が始まる。このように、加熱が引き金となって生分解を開始させることができる。   More specifically, the polylactic acid-based laminated film of the present invention has a polylactic acid-based resin composition layer B that does not contain a biodegradable plasticizer on both sides of a polylactic acid-based resin composition layer A that contains a biodegradable plasticizer. Because it exists, it is hardly biodegradable to the same degree as polylactic acid during use at room temperature. Further, by heating, the biodegradable plasticizer diffuses in the layer B and is distributed to the surface of the laminated film, and biodegradation of the laminated film starts. Thus, biodegradation can be initiated by heating as a trigger.

このことから、本発明の積層フィルムは、特に、環境中で使用又は保存できるとともに、不要になったときに加熱するだけで環境中での分解を開始させることができる。この点で、農業用フィルムのような農業又は園芸材料、コンポストバッグ、魚網のような漁業材料等として好適に用いることができる。また、本発明の積層フィルムをラップフィルムなどの食品包装材料として用いるときは、使用後は食品とともにコンポストに入れ加熱するだけで分解させることができる。また、手術糸のような医用材料として用いるときは、保存中又は生体内で使用中は分解せず、例えば傷口が塞がった後に縫合部分を暖めることにより生体内で分解させることができる。この他、ラミネート用フィルム、ラベル、容器などのあらゆる用途に用いることができ、不要時に加熱して環境中に廃棄するだけで処分することができる。   From this, the laminated film of the present invention can be used or stored particularly in the environment, and can be decomposed in the environment only by heating when it becomes unnecessary. In this respect, it can be suitably used as agricultural or horticultural materials such as agricultural films, compost bags, fishery materials such as fish nets, and the like. Moreover, when using the laminated | multilayer film of this invention as food packaging materials, such as a wrap film, it can be decomposed | disassembled only by putting in a compost with a food and heating after use. Further, when used as a medical material such as a surgical thread, it does not decompose during storage or in use in the living body, and can be decomposed in the living body by warming the sutured portion after the wound is closed, for example. In addition, it can be used for all uses such as a laminating film, a label, and a container, and can be disposed of by simply heating it when it is unnecessary and disposing it in the environment.

以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
(I)ポリ乳酸系樹脂積層フィルム
本発明のポリ乳酸系樹脂積層フィルムは、ポリ乳酸系樹脂と生分解性可塑剤とを含む樹脂組成物層Aと、ポリ乳酸系樹脂を含むか、又はポリ乳酸系樹脂と非生分解性可塑剤とを含む樹脂組成物層BとがB/A/B型に積層された積層フィルムである。
ポリ乳酸系樹脂
本発明において、ポリ乳酸系樹脂とは、L−乳酸残基および/またはD−乳酸残基を50重量%以上含有するホモポリマーまたはコポリマーを指す。ホモポリ乳酸としては、0〜50重量%のD−乳酸残基をもつポリL−乳酸、0〜50重量%のL−乳酸残基をもつポリD−乳酸、ポリL−乳酸とポリD−乳酸との混合物が挙げられる。本発明で使用するホモポリ乳酸は公知の方法で製造できる。ホモポリ乳酸の製造法としては、例えば、乳酸から環状2量体であるラクチドを合成し開環重合により高分子量のポリ乳酸を得る方法や、乳酸の直接脱水縮合によりポリ乳酸を得る方法が挙げられる。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
(I) Polylactic acid-based resin laminated film The polylactic acid-based resin laminated film of the present invention includes a resin composition layer A containing a polylactic acid-based resin and a biodegradable plasticizer, and a polylactic acid-based resin, or a polylactic acid-based resin. This is a laminated film in which a lactic acid resin and a resin composition layer B containing a non-biodegradable plasticizer are laminated in a B / A / B type.
Polylactic acid resin In the present invention, the polylactic acid resin refers to a homopolymer or copolymer containing 50% by weight or more of L-lactic acid residues and / or D-lactic acid residues. As homopolylactic acid, poly L-lactic acid having 0 to 50% by weight of D-lactic acid residue, poly D-lactic acid having 0 to 50% by weight of L-lactic acid residue, poly L-lactic acid and poly D-lactic acid And a mixture thereof. The homopolylactic acid used in the present invention can be produced by a known method. Examples of the method for producing homopolylactic acid include a method of synthesizing lactide which is a cyclic dimer from lactic acid and obtaining high molecular weight polylactic acid by ring-opening polymerization, and a method of obtaining polylactic acid by direct dehydration condensation of lactic acid. .

また、コポリマーはポリ乳酸重合時又は重合直後に、副成分を加え重合をさらに進めることにより得られる。副成分の種類は特に限定されないが、例えばグリコール酸、3−ヒドロキシ酪酸、4−ヒドロキシ酪酸、3−ヒドロキシ吉草酸、4−ヒドロキシ吉草酸、6−ヒドロキシカロトン酸のようなヒドロキシカルボン酸;カプロラクトン;酢酸ビニル;ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコールのようなポリオール;エチレンテレフタレート重合体類;エチレンビニルアルコール重合体類などが挙げられる。副成分は単独で、又は2種以上を組み合わせて使用できる。副成分はポリ乳酸の性質を損なわない範囲で使用することができる。コポリマーの形態は、ブロックコポリマー、ランダムコポリマー、交互コポリマー、グラフトコポリマーなどいずれの形態でもよい。   Further, the copolymer can be obtained by adding the subcomponent during the polylactic acid polymerization or immediately after the polymerization to further proceed the polymerization. Although the kind of subcomponent is not specifically limited, For example, glycolic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, 4-hydroxybutyric acid, 3-hydroxyvaleric acid, 4-hydroxyvaleric acid, hydroxycarboxylic acids such as 6-hydroxycarotonic acid; caprolactone Vinyl acetate; polyols such as polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol; ethylene terephthalate polymers; ethylene vinyl alcohol polymers; A subcomponent can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more types. The accessory component can be used as long as the properties of polylactic acid are not impaired. The form of the copolymer may be any form such as a block copolymer, a random copolymer, an alternating copolymer, and a graft copolymer.

ポリ乳酸系樹脂の重量平均分子量は、1000〜100万程度が好ましく、5000〜50万程度がより好ましい。上記分子量範囲であれば、液状にならず、かつ十分な強度が得られる。また、上記分子量範囲であれば、低粘度で成形性に優れ、かつ可塑剤との親和性がよいためにポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物層中の可塑剤の拡散速度が十分なものになる。本発明におけるポリ乳酸の分子量は、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィーで測定して得た分子量であり、具体的には実施例の項目に記載の方法で測定した値である。   The weight average molecular weight of the polylactic acid resin is preferably about 1,000 to 100,000, and more preferably about 5,000 to 500,000. If it is the said molecular weight range, it will not become liquid and sufficient intensity | strength will be obtained. Moreover, if it is the said molecular weight range, since it is low-viscosity, it is excellent in a moldability, and affinity with a plasticizer is good, the diffusion rate of the plasticizer in a polylactic acid-type resin composition layer will become sufficient. The molecular weight of polylactic acid in the present invention is a molecular weight obtained by measurement by gel permeation chromatography, and specifically, a value measured by the method described in the item of Examples.

層Aを構成するポリ乳酸系樹脂と層Bを構成するポリ乳酸系樹脂とは同一の組成であってもよく、異なる組成であってもよい。
生分解性可塑剤
層A中には生分解性可塑剤が含まれる。生分解性可塑剤は、ポリ乳酸系樹脂に添加することによってガラス転移温度の低下や剛性の低下を導くような混合性に優れたものであればよく、特に限定されない。エーテルエステル誘導体、グリセリン誘導体、フタル酸誘導体、グリコール酸誘導体、アジピン酸誘導体、エポキシ系可塑剤などの広範囲の可塑剤から選択して使用できる。
The polylactic acid resin constituting the layer A and the polylactic acid resin constituting the layer B may have the same composition or different compositions.
The biodegradable plasticizer layer A contains a biodegradable plasticizer. The biodegradable plasticizer is not particularly limited as long as the biodegradable plasticizer has excellent mixing properties that lead to a decrease in glass transition temperature and a decrease in rigidity when added to a polylactic acid resin. A wide range of plasticizers such as ether ester derivatives, glycerin derivatives, phthalic acid derivatives, glycolic acid derivatives, adipic acid derivatives and epoxy plasticizers can be selected and used.

生分解性可塑剤の溶解性パラメータは16〜23(MJ/m3)1/2程度であることが好ましい。この範囲であれば、ポリ乳酸の溶解性パラメーターである20と近いため、可塑剤とポリ乳酸とが混ざり易く、室温下でのブリードアウトが抑制され、可塑化効率を高めることができる。溶解性パラメータは、P. Small, J. Appl. Chem.,3,71(1953)に示された方法で計算できる。 The solubility parameter of the biodegradable plasticizer is preferably about 16 to 23 (MJ / m 3 ) 1/2 . Within this range, since the solubility parameter of polylactic acid is close to 20, the plasticizer and polylactic acid are likely to be mixed, bleeding out at room temperature is suppressed, and plasticization efficiency can be increased. The solubility parameter can be calculated by the method shown in P. Small, J. Appl. Chem., 3, 71 (1953).

生分解性可塑剤の分子量は300〜30000程度が好ましく、350〜5000程度がより好ましい。生分解性可塑剤がポリエチレングリコールのようなポリマーである場合は、分子量300〜30000程度が好ましく、600〜20000程度がより好ましい。上記範囲であれば、A層中の生分解性可塑剤がB層中を拡散し易く、また可塑化効果が高い。また上記範囲であれば、A層中の生分解性可塑剤がB層中に拡散した後フィルム表面からブリードアウトしたりフィルム端面からブリードアウトし難い。本発明における可塑剤の分子量は、予測される分子量が1000程度以下の場合は分子式から算出した値であり、1000程度より大きい場合はゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィーで測定して得た値である。   The molecular weight of the biodegradable plasticizer is preferably about 300 to 30000, more preferably about 350 to 5000. When the biodegradable plasticizer is a polymer such as polyethylene glycol, the molecular weight is preferably about 300 to 30000, more preferably about 600 to 20000. If it is the said range, the biodegradable plasticizer in A layer will spread | diffuse easily in B layer, and the plasticization effect is high. Moreover, if it is the said range, after the biodegradable plasticizer in A layer diffuses in B layer, it is hard to bleed out from the film surface or from the film end surface. The molecular weight of the plasticizer in the present invention is a value calculated from a molecular formula when the predicted molecular weight is about 1000 or less, and a value obtained by measurement by gel permeation chromatography when the molecular weight is more than about 1000.

生分解性可塑剤の添加量は、可塑剤やポリ乳酸系樹脂の種類、必要とされる生分解性発現の誘導期間によって異なる。層A中の生分解性可塑剤の含有量は、ポリ乳酸系樹脂 100重量部に対し10〜200重量部程度が好ましく、12〜100重量部程度がより好ましく、15〜80重量部程度がさらにより好ましい。上記範囲であれば、積層フィルムにおいて十分な生分解性が得られる。また、上記範囲であれば、積層フィルムの強度が十分なものとなるとともに、フィルム表面や端面からの可塑剤のブリードアウトが生じ難い。

Moreover, if it is the said range, while the intensity | strength of a laminated | multilayer film will become sufficient, it is hard to produce the bleed-out of the plasticizer from a film surface or an end surface.
The non-biodegradable plasticizer layer B contains no plasticizer or contains a non-biodegradable plasticizer. The non-biodegradable plasticizer is not particularly limited as long as it is excellent in mixing properties that lead to a decrease in glass transition temperature and a decrease in rigidity when added to a polylactic acid resin.

Considering that it may be used for food packaging, etc., and that undegraded products may remain in compost / farmland, it has been recognized by the FDA and polyolefin hygiene council etc. that there is no problem in food hygiene. A plasticizer is preferred.

非生分解性可塑剤の分子量は300〜30000程度が好ましく、400〜5000程度がより好ましい。非生分解性可塑剤がポリ酢酸ビニルのようなポリマーである場合は、分子量300〜30000程度が好ましく、600〜20000程度がより好ましい。上記分子量範囲であれば、ブリードアウトし難くその結果ポリ乳酸系樹脂の柔軟性が長期にわたり安定に保持される。また、上記分子量範囲であれば、ポリ乳酸系樹脂の柔軟性が損なわれない。   The molecular weight of the non-biodegradable plasticizer is preferably about 300 to 30000, more preferably about 400 to 5000. When the non-biodegradable plasticizer is a polymer such as polyvinyl acetate, the molecular weight is preferably about 300 to 30000, more preferably about 600 to 20000.

Further, the thickness of the layer B in the entire film is preferably 90% or less, more preferably 50% or less, and even more preferably 30% or less. If it is this range, the bleed-out to the laminated film surface of the biodegradable plasticizer at room temperature will be suppressed, and the mechanical strength sufficient practically of a laminated film will be ensured.

The thickness of the adhesive layer may be any thickness that is usually employed in the dry laminating method. Usually, if it is 100 mm or less, the biodegradable plasticizer can diffuse in the adhesive layer.

本発明の積層フィルムは、延伸されていてもよく、未延伸であってもよい。延伸されたものは、分子のパッキングがよく生分解性に劣る傾向にあるため、未延伸フィルムの方が好ましい。また、用途に応じて透明性又は柔軟性の低下を回避すべき場合は、層Bが延伸されたものであってもよい。

The laminated film of the present invention may be stretched or unstretched. Since the stretched film has a good molecular packing and tends to be inferior in biodegradability, an unstretched film is preferred. Moreover, when the fall of transparency or a softness | flexibility should be avoided according to a use, the layer B may be extended | stretched.
(II) Method for Producing Polylactic Acid Resin Laminate Film The method for producing a polylactic acid resin laminate film of the present invention includes a composition a containing a polylactic acid resin and a biodegradable plasticizer, and a polylactic acid resin. Or a layer A composed of the composition a and a composition b by a coextrusion method, a dry laminating method, or a solvent casting method, using a composition b containing a polylactic acid resin and a non-biodegradable plasticizer. The layer B is a method including a step of obtaining a laminated film in which the layer B is laminated in a B / A / B type.
Among these, a laminated film obtained by a dry laminating method is preferable in that it has high flexibility, and the plasticizer does not move to the layer B during multilayering, so that the stability is good.

組成物aの成分は層Aの成分について説明した通りであり、組成物bの成分は層Bの成分について説明した通りである。可塑剤をポリ乳酸系樹脂に所定量含有させる手法は特に限定されず、予め樹脂と可塑剤とを混合しておく方法、剪断のかかる二軸のロールで両者を混練する方法、二軸の押出機中で溶融した樹脂に可塑剤を計量しつつ添加する方法などの公知の方法を採用できるが、溶融した樹脂に可塑剤を計量しつつ添加する方法が好ましい。   The components of the composition a are as described for the components of the layer A, and the components of the composition b are as described for the components of the layer B. The method of adding a predetermined amount of plasticizer to the polylactic acid-based resin is not particularly limited, a method in which the resin and the plasticizer are mixed in advance, a method in which both are kneaded with a shearing biaxial roll, and biaxial extrusion. A known method such as a method of adding a plasticizer to a molten resin in a machine can be employed, but a method of adding a plasticizer to a molten resin while measuring is preferable.

共押し出しの場合は、押し出し時に層A中の生分解性可塑剤が層B中に拡散するのを抑制するために、加工時に層Bが層Aに接触するときの温度は160℃以下で、その後6080℃まで冷却するのに要する時間は30秒間以下、特に接触時の温度は140℃以下でその後60℃まで冷却するのに要する時間は10秒間以下とすることが好ましい。   In the case of co-extrusion, in order to prevent the biodegradable plasticizer in layer A from diffusing into layer B during extrusion, the temperature when layer B contacts layer A during processing is 160 ° C. or less, Thereafter, the time required for cooling to 6080 ° C. is preferably 30 seconds or less, particularly the temperature at the time of contact is 140 ° C. or less, and the time required for subsequent cooling to 60 ° C. is preferably 10 seconds or less.

また溶剤キャスト法では、押し出し成形法(Tダイキャスト法、インフレーション法)や溶剤キャスト法で成形した層A上に組成物bを塗布することにより層A両面に層Bを形成してもよく、層B上に組成物aを塗布して層Aを形成した後、その層A上に組成物bを塗布して層Bを形成してもよい。溶剤の蒸発は室温下で行うか、加熱しても60℃より低い温度で行えばよい。   In the solvent casting method, the layer B may be formed on both surfaces of the layer A by applying the composition b on the layer A formed by the extrusion molding method (T die casting method, inflation method) or the solvent casting method. After the composition a is applied on the layer B to form the layer A, the composition B may be applied on the layer A to form the layer B. The solvent may be evaporated at room temperature or may be heated at a temperature lower than 60 ° C.

ドライラミネート法では、押し出し成形法(Tダイキャスト法、インフレーション法)や溶剤キャスト法で成形した層A、層Bを公知の接着剤で貼り合わせればよい。接着層の厚さは、ドライラミネート法で通常使用される厚さとすればいが、通常0.1 mm以下であれば、生分解性可塑剤が接着剤層中を拡散できる。   In the dry laminating method, the layer A and the layer B formed by an extrusion molding method (T die casting method, inflation method) or a solvent casting method may be bonded together with a known adhesive. The thickness of the adhesive layer may be the thickness usually used in the dry laminating method, but if it is usually 0.1 mm or less, the biodegradable plasticizer can diffuse in the adhesive layer.

加熱手段は特に限定されず、その積層フィルムが使用される状況に応じて選択すればよい。通常は、使用後の積層フィルムを回収して、加熱炉内で加熱したり、熱ローラ対間を通過させたりすればよい。また、加熱により層A中の生分解性可塑剤の拡散を開始させた後、土、水中に放置すればよい。これにより、土や水中の微生物や微生物が分泌した酵素により積層フィルムが分解される。   A heating means is not specifically limited, What is necessary is just to select according to the condition where the laminated | multilayer film are used. Usually, the laminated film after use may be collected and heated in a heating furnace or passed between a pair of heat rollers. Further, after the diffusion of the biodegradable plasticizer in the layer A is started by heating, it may be left in soil or water. Thereby, the laminated film is decomposed by microorganisms in soil and water and enzymes secreted by the microorganisms.

(6) Measurement of biodegradable plasticizer concentration on the surface of layer B Using a micro Raman measurement device (Senturion with sure_cal; manufactured by Chromex), a small spot (diameter 2 μm, depth 2 μm or less) at the sample surface strength by measuring the Raman spectrum, a peak assigned peak attributed to a biodegradable plasticizer benzyl butyldiglycol adipate in uniform blend and (1002Cm around -1) polylactic acid (873Cm around -1) of The ratio of this peak ratio was applied to a calibration curve prepared by calculating the above peak ratio for a resin composition having a known composition ratio, and the biodegradable plasticizer concentration on the surface of layer B was measured.
Comparative Examples 1, 2, 3 (single layer film)
A single layer film was prepared using a composition in which 20% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate was added to the entire polylactic acid blend (Comparative Example 1). In addition, a single layer film was prepared using a composition in which 20% of acetyltributyl citrate was added to the whole polylactic acid blend (Comparative Example 2). Furthermore, a monolayer film made of polylactic acid without adding a plasticizer was prepared (Comparative Example 3).

これらの生分解の程度を以下の表1に示す。   The degree of biodegradation is shown in Table 1 below.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

ベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートを添加したポリ乳酸(比較例1)は分解酵素の存在下でよく分解された。一方、アセチルトリブチルサイトレートを添加したポリ乳酸(比較例2)、及び可塑剤を添加しないポリ乳酸(比較例3)は分解酵素が存在しても殆ど分解されなかった。   Polylactic acid to which benzylbutyl diglycol adipate was added (Comparative Example 1) was well degraded in the presence of a degrading enzyme. On the other hand, polylactic acid to which acetyltributyl citrate was added (Comparative Example 2) and polylactic acid to which no plasticizer was added (Comparative Example 3) were hardly decomposed even in the presence of a degrading enzyme.

従って、ベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートは生分解性の可塑剤に分類され、アセチルトリブチルサイトレートは非生分解性可塑剤に分類される。以下の各実施例では、これらの可塑剤を用いて積層フィルムを作製した。
実施例1、2、3、4(層Bの厚みの影響)
生分解性可塑剤としてベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して50%含有するポリ乳酸均一ブレンドフィルムを層Aとし、非生分解性層として可塑剤を含有しないポリ乳酸単独フィルムを層Bとした。また、層Aの厚みを1000μmとし、層Bの厚みを表2に示すとおり変えて、B/A/B層構成の多層フィルムを作製した。これを、層B表面の可塑剤濃度の急激な上昇挙動発現に最適な厚みを知るため、80℃で6時間熱処理を行った。結果を以下の表2に示す。
Therefore, benzyl butyl diglycol adipate is classified as a biodegradable plasticizer and acetyl tributyl citrate is classified as a non-biodegradable plasticizer. In each of the following examples, a laminated film was produced using these plasticizers.
Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 (influence of layer B thickness)
A polylactic acid uniform blend film containing 50% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate as a biodegradable plasticizer with respect to the whole polylactic acid resin composition is defined as layer A, and a polylactic acid containing no plasticizer as a non-biodegradable layer The single film was layer B. Moreover, the thickness of the layer A was set to 1000 μm, and the thickness of the layer B was changed as shown in Table 2 to prepare a multilayer film having a B / A / B layer configuration. This was heat-treated at 80 ° C. for 6 hours in order to know the optimum thickness for expression of the rapid increase behavior of the plasticizer concentration on the surface of layer B. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

層Bの厚みが薄いほど生分解性可塑剤が層Bに移行する時間が短いため、層B表面の生分解性可塑剤の濃度が大きくなり易く、生分解性が増大し易い。このため、生分解速度を制御し難くなる。このことから、層Bの厚みを適切に調整することで生分解速度を制御できることが分かった。   The thinner the layer B, the shorter the time required for the biodegradable plasticizer to move to the layer B. Therefore, the concentration of the biodegradable plasticizer on the surface of the layer B tends to increase and the biodegradability tends to increase. For this reason, it becomes difficult to control the biodegradation rate. From this, it was found that the biodegradation rate can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the thickness of the layer B.

すなわち、層Bの厚みが小さいほど層B表面への生分解性可塑剤の移行が大きく、それに伴い積層フィルムの生分解速度も大きくなった。このことから、層Bの厚みを調節することで、積層フィルムの生分解速度を制御できることが分かる。
実施例5、6、7、8(熱処理時間の検討)
生分解性可塑剤としてベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して50%含有するポリ乳酸均一ブレンドフィルムを層Aとし、非生分解性層として可塑剤を含有しないポリ乳酸単独フィルムを層Bとした。層Aの厚みを1000μm、層Bの厚みを90μmとし、B/A/B層構成の多層フィルムを作製した。これらについて、処理時間を表3に示すとおり変えて、80℃で熱処理を行った。
That is, the smaller the thickness of the layer B, the greater the migration of the biodegradable plasticizer to the surface of the layer B, and the greater the biodegradation rate of the laminated film. From this, it can be seen that the biodegradation rate of the laminated film can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the layer B.
Examples 5, 6, 7, and 8 (examination of heat treatment time)
A polylactic acid uniform blend film containing 50% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate as a biodegradable plasticizer with respect to the whole polylactic acid resin composition is defined as layer A, and a polylactic acid containing no plasticizer as a non-biodegradable layer The single film was layer B. The thickness of layer A was 1000 μm, the thickness of layer B was 90 μm, and a multilayer film having a B / A / B layer configuration was produced. About these, heat processing was performed at 80 degreeC, changing processing time as shown in Table 3.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

熱処理をしない場合や熱処理時間が短い場合には、層Bの表面の生分解性可塑剤濃度が低く、またポリ乳酸分解酵素が存在しても生分解し難かった。また、熱処理時間が大きくなるほど、生分解性可塑剤が層Bに移行して積層フィルム表面の生分解性可塑剤濃度が大きくなり、それに伴い積層フィルムの生分解性が大きく向上した。このことから、熱処理時間を調整することで生分解速度を制御できることがわかった。
実施例9、10、11、12(熱処理温度の検討)
生分解性可塑剤としてベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して50%含有するポリ乳酸均一ブレンドフィルムを層Aとし、非生分解性層として可塑剤を含有しないポリ乳酸単独フィルムを層Bとした。層Aの厚みを1000μm、層Bの厚みを150μmとし、B/A/B型の多層フィルムを作製した。これらを、処理温度を表4に示すとおり変えて、1時間、熱処理を行った。
When heat treatment was not performed or when the heat treatment time was short, the biodegradable plasticizer concentration on the surface of the layer B was low, and biodegradation was difficult even when polylactic acid-degrading enzyme was present. Moreover, as the heat treatment time increased, the biodegradable plasticizer moved to the layer B and the biodegradable plasticizer concentration on the surface of the laminated film increased, and the biodegradability of the laminated film was greatly improved accordingly. From this, it was found that the biodegradation rate can be controlled by adjusting the heat treatment time.
Examples 9, 10, 11, 12 (examination of heat treatment temperature)
A polylactic acid uniform blend film containing 50% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate as a biodegradable plasticizer with respect to the whole polylactic acid resin composition is defined as layer A, and a polylactic acid containing no plasticizer as a non-biodegradable layer The single film was layer B. The thickness of the layer A was 1000 μm, the thickness of the layer B was 150 μm, and a B / A / B type multilayer film was produced. These were subjected to heat treatment for 1 hour while changing the treatment temperature as shown in Table 4.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

表4より、熱処理温度が高くなるほど生分解性可塑剤の層Bへの移行速度が大きく、積層フィルム表面の生分解性可塑剤濃度が大きくなり、それに伴い積層フィルムの生分解性が大きく向上した。このことから、熱処理温度を調整することで生分解速度を制御できることが分かった。
実施例13、14、15、16(層B中の非生分解性可塑剤の有無の影響)
層Bが非生分解性可塑剤を含有しないポリ乳酸系樹脂層である場合、ポリ乳酸の剛性によって積層フィルムの柔軟性がやや低下する可能性がある。そのため、積層フィルムの柔軟性を向上させる観点からは、層B中に可塑剤が含まれることが好ましい。そこで、層B中に非生分解性可塑剤が存在する場合と存在しない場合との間で、積層フィルムの生分解性を比較した。
From Table 4, the higher the heat treatment temperature, the greater the rate of transfer of the biodegradable plasticizer to the layer B, the greater the biodegradable plasticizer concentration on the surface of the laminated film, and the greater the biodegradability of the laminated film. . From this, it was found that the biodegradation rate can be controlled by adjusting the heat treatment temperature.
Examples 13, 14, 15, 16 (effect of presence or absence of non-biodegradable plasticizer in layer B)
When the layer B is a polylactic acid resin layer that does not contain a non-biodegradable plasticizer, the flexibility of the laminated film may be slightly lowered due to the rigidity of the polylactic acid. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improving the flexibility of the laminated film, the layer B preferably contains a plasticizer. Therefore, the biodegradability of the laminated film was compared between the case where the non-biodegradable plasticizer was present in the layer B and the case where it was not present.

具体的には、生分解性可塑剤としてベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して50%含有するポリ乳酸均一ブレンドフィルムを層Aとし、非生分解性可塑剤としてアセチルトリブチルサイトレートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して20%添加して作製したブレンドフィルムを層Bとして、B/A/B型の積層フィルムを得た。さらに、非生分解性可塑剤を添加しないポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物フィルムを層Bとした場合との間で生分解性を比較した。各積層フィルムの層Aの厚みは1000μmとした。また、層Bの厚みが40μmである積層フィルムと層Bの厚みが90μmである積層フィルムの2種類を作製した。これらの積層フィルムについて、表5に示すとおり温度80℃で1時間熱処理した。結果を表5に示す   Specifically, a polylactic acid uniform blend film containing 50% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate as a biodegradable plasticizer with respect to the entire polylactic acid resin composition is used as layer A, and acetyl is used as a non-biodegradable plasticizer. A blend film prepared by adding 20% of tributyl citrate to the total amount of the polylactic acid-based resin composition was used as layer B to obtain a B / A / B type laminated film. Furthermore, biodegradability was compared with the case where the polylactic acid-based resin composition film to which the non-biodegradable plasticizer was not added was used as the layer B. The thickness of layer A of each laminated film was 1000 μm. In addition, two types, a laminated film having a layer B thickness of 40 μm and a laminated film having a layer B thickness of 90 μm, were produced. These laminated films were heat-treated at a temperature of 80 ° C. for 1 hour as shown in Table 5. The results are shown in Table 5.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

層B中に非生分解性可塑剤としてアセチルトリブチルサイトレートを添加した場合は、層B中に非生分解性可塑剤を添加しない場合と同程度に、層B表面に層A中の生分解性可塑剤が移行した。また、層Bが薄い方が層B表面への可塑剤の移行は大きかった。また、層B中に非生分解性可塑剤が含まれていても、酵素により積層フィルムは十分に生分解された。このことから、層B中に非中分解性可塑剤を含ませることで積層フィルムの柔軟性を向上させつつ、種々の条件を調整することで生分解速度を制御できることが分かった。
実施例17、18、19、20、21(常温下での保存安定性)
生分解性可塑剤としてベンジルブチルジグリコールアジペートをポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物の全体に対して50%含有するポリ乳酸均一ブレンドフィルムを層Aとし、非生分解性層として可塑剤を含有しないポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物フィルムを層Bとした。層Aの厚みを1000μm、層Bの厚みを120μmとし、B/A/B型の積層フィルムを作製した。これらを、23℃で表6に示す時間保存し、貯蔵安定性を調べた。結果を表6に示す。
When acetyltributyl citrate is added as a non-biodegradable plasticizer in layer B, the biodegradation in layer A on the surface of layer B is the same as when no non-biodegradable plasticizer is added in layer B. The plasticizer has moved. Further, the thinner the layer B, the greater the migration of the plasticizer to the surface of the layer B. Moreover, even if the non-biodegradable plasticizer was contained in the layer B, the laminated film was fully biodegraded by the enzyme. From this, it was found that the biodegradation rate can be controlled by adjusting various conditions while improving the flexibility of the laminated film by including a non-degradable plasticizer in the layer B.
Examples 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 (storage stability at room temperature)
A polylactic acid uniform blend film containing 50% of benzylbutyl diglycol adipate as a biodegradable plasticizer with respect to the whole polylactic acid resin composition is defined as layer A, and a polylactic acid containing no plasticizer as a non-biodegradable layer The base resin composition film was designated as layer B. The thickness of layer A was 1000 μm, the thickness of layer B was 120 μm, and a B / A / B type laminated film was produced. These were stored at 23 ° C. for the time shown in Table 6 and examined for storage stability. The results are shown in Table 6.

Figure 2007216541
Figure 2007216541

常温保存を行っても層Bの表面には生分解性可塑剤の析出が殆ど認められず、またポリ乳酸分解酵素が存在しても積層フィルムは殆ど生分解されなかった。これは、2664時間(111日間)経過した後も同様であった。111日間保存後の生分解の程度は、前掲の表1の可塑剤を含まないポリ乳酸系樹脂組成物(比較例3)の生分解の程度と同じであり、生分解性可塑剤を層A中に含んでいても、そのことで積層フィルムの使用又は保存中の易分解性が促進されないことが示された。このことから、一度に積層フィルムを多量に製造して保存できることが分かる。また、必要とされる生分解速度に応じて各種の条件で熱処理すれば生分解できる、ニーズに応じた積層フィルムを提供できることが分かる。   Even when stored at room temperature, almost no biodegradable plasticizer was deposited on the surface of layer B, and even when polylactic acid-degrading enzyme was present, the laminated film was hardly biodegraded. This was the same after 2664 hours (111 days). The degree of biodegradation after storage for 111 days is the same as the degree of biodegradation of the polylactic acid resin composition not containing the plasticizer shown in Table 1 (Comparative Example 3). Even if included, it was shown that this does not promote easy degradability during use or storage of the laminated film. This shows that a large amount of laminated films can be produced and stored at one time. Moreover, it turns out that the laminated | multilayer film according to the need which can be biodegraded if it heat-processes on various conditions according to the required biodegradation speed | velocity | rate can be provided.
