  • the invention also relates to a method for producing an extruded product and the extruded product thus obtained.
  • the present invention furthermore relates to methods for producing a starting material for a foamed moulded product and the starting material thus obtained.
  • the present invention moreover relates to methods for producing a foamed moulded product and the moulded product thus obtained.
  • the present invention also relates to applications of these products.
  • polylactic acid or PLA
  • PLA polylactic acid
  • PLA a renewable biologically degradable material for a broad range of applications
  • attention is now also being paid to recycling in connection with the constantly increasing volumes of waste and the growing concern for the environment and recycling issues.
  • polylactic acid is not recyclable, and causes problems in particular if it is involved in the process chains of other polymers in the form of contamination.
  • One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a polymer mixture comprising polylactic acid, which polymer mixture has improved processability and temperature resistance.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an extruded product formed from the polymer mixture with improved properties, such as ductility and impact strength.
  • Another object of the present invention is moreover to provide methods for producing extruded products and foamed moulded products using a polymer mixture comprising polylactic acid.
  • One or more of the above objects is accomplished by a polymer mixture comprising polylactic acid and a polymer having a glass transition temperature above 60° C.
  • a polymer as used herein is understood to mean a polymer other than polylactic acid. It is of course also possible for more than one other polymers to be contained in the present polymer composition besides polylactic acid.
  • the present invention thus relates to a polymer mixture comprising at least two polymers, viz. polylactic acid and another polymer having a glass transition temperature above 60° C.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the modulus of elasticity of polylactic acid alone and a present polymer mixture.
  • Polylactic acid is a collective term used for polymers based on polylactic acid monomers, in which the structure of the polylactic acid may vary according to the composition, from completely amorphous to semi-crystalline or crystalline. Polylactic acid can be produced from milk products or for example maize.
  • Lactic acid is the monomer of which polylactic acid is composed, and this monomer occurs in two stereoisomers, viz. L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid. So polylactic acid contains a certain proportion of L-lactic-acid monomers and a certain proportion of D-lactic-acid monomers. The ratio between the L- and D-lactic-acid monomers in polylactic acid determines its properties. This is also known as a D value or D-content, which represents the percentage of D-lactic-acid monomers in the polylactic acid. Polylactic acid that is at present commercially available has an L:D ratio of between 100:0 and 75:25; in other words, a D-content of between 0 and 25%, or between 0 and 0.25.
  • polylactic acid contains more than approximately 12% D-lactic acid it can no longer crystallise, and is hence completely amorphous.
  • the D-content is approximately 5%, it is referred to as semi-crystalline polylactic acid.
  • the crystallinity of the polylactic acid can be determined by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
  • DSC differential scanning calorimetry
  • the term “semi-crystalline” is understood to mean that the polymer is capable of crystallising and also melting. Thus it can be stated that the lower the D-content, the higher the crystallinity of the polylactic acid will be.
  • the D-content is usually determined by using a known method, such as a so-called R-lactate determination using gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) after complete hydrolysis of the polymer. Another standard method is determination via optical rotation (measured in chloroform using a Jasco DIP-140 polarimeter at a wavelength of 589 nm).
  • the D-content of the polylactic acid according to the present invention preferably ranges between 0 and 15%, in particular between 1 and 10%, more in particular between 2 and 5%, especially between 3 and 4.7%.
  • the D-content is in particular less than 5 wt. %
  • the ratio between amorphous and (semi-)crystalline polylactic acid according to the present invention preferably ranges between 0 and 90% amorphous, more preferably between 10 and 75%, in particular between 30 and 60%.
  • the quantity of (semi-)crystalline polylactic acid according to the present invention preferably ranges between 10 and 100%, more preferably between 25 and 90%,in particular between 40 and 70%.
  • the presence of a polymer having a glass transition temperature above 60° C. in the polymer mixture will ensure that the modulus of elasticity of the polymer mixture will decrease less at a temperature above the glass temperature of polylactic acid.
  • the bottom curve (PLA) represents polylactic acid alone (not according to the invention)
  • the top curve (PS/PLA) represents a polymer mixture according to the invention containing 10% polystyrene (PS) and 90% polylactic acid (PLA).
  • PS polystyrene
  • PLA polylactic acid
  • a biologically degradable polyester such as Ecoflex, for example type ECOFLEX* F BX 7011 produced by BASF, has no clear Tg, but it does have a good high-temperature resistance, expressed as the heat deflection temperature HDT/A, of 80° C., measured according to ASTM-648. This is certainly also effective with respect to improving the intended improvement with respect to temperature resistance.
  • Amorphous polylactic acid has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about 55° C. Such a low glass transition temperature leads to material having a highly restricted thermal stability.
  • Tg glass transition temperature
  • the thermal stability of semi-crystalline polylactic acid is better, as it has a higher glass transition temperature, viz. 90° C. (the height of the temperature is a function of the crystallinity). It is therefore preferable to use a mixture of amorphous and semi-crystalline polylactic acid as the polylactic acid part of the polymer mixture.
  • the type of polylactic acid selected determines the hardness and thermal stability of the foamed moulded product ultimately obtained.
  • At least 70 wt. %, in particular at least 80 wt. %, more in particular at least 90 wt. %, and especially at least 95 wt. % of the polymer mixture consists of the combination of polylactic acid and the polymer having a glass transition temperature above 60° C.
  • This weight ratio will lead to in particular the favourable properties mentioned in this description.
  • the remaining part of the polymer mixture consists of other components, for example other polymers and processing aids.
  • the polymer's glass transition temperature is higher than 95° C.
  • Such a polymer mixture according to the present invention has an even better temperature resistance, as a result of which this polymer mixture can be used in applications at higher temperatures.
  • the present invention preferably relates to a polymer mixture for which the polymer—other than polylactic acid—is selected from the group comprising a polyvinylarene, cellulose diacetate and a combination thereof.
  • the polymer—other than polylactic acid— is selected from the group comprising a polyvinylarene, cellulose diacetate and a combination thereof.
  • Such polymers have a glass transition temperature that is higher than that of polylactic acid and hence increase the temperature resistance, which greatly improves the processability of polylactic acid.
  • These polymers are also preferable because they can be reasonably easily obtained and are economically favourable.
  • the present invention relates to a polymer mixture as described above in which the polymer is polystyrene, expandable polystyrene or a combination hereof.
  • polystyrene polymers have a high glass transition temperature, viz. one which, depending on the beater, may be 95-102° C.
  • the Tg of EPS is 8° C. lower, depending on the percentage of pentane used as blowing agent per vol. % pentane, but the disappearance of this blowing agent makes it possible to realise an end situation with a Tg of 98° C. The Tg must therefore be measured after controlled removal of pentane.
  • polystyrene polymer to polylactic acid gives the polymer mixture better temperature resistance, which greatly improves the processability of polylactic acid.
  • expandable polystyrene is understood to mean polystyrene particles that have been impregnated with a blowing agent.
  • the polylactic acid is preferably contained in the polymer mixture described above in an amount of between 0.1 and 35 wt. % relative to the combined weight of the polylactic acid and the polymer, preferably 2-25 wt. %, in particular 5-20 wt. %.
  • a first preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to extruded particles, also referred to as beads, with a high concentration of the polymer and a low concentration of polylactic acid.

  • Such particles can by means of optional prefoaming methods, optional coating methods and foaming methods be converted into foamed moulded products having a better ductility than foamed moulded products based on the polymer alone (see example 1 of the examples).
  • the polymer is preferably contained in the polymer mixture described above in an amount of 0.1-35 wt. % relative to the total polymer mixture, in particular 2-25 wt. %, and above all 5-20 wt. %.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the present invention hence refers to extruded particles or beads with a high concentration of polylactic acid and a low concentration of polymer.
  • Such particles are produced by extruding the present polymer mixture or by extruding a mixture of particles of polylactic acid and particles of the polymer to obtain particles of the present polymer mixture.
  • Such particles can by means of optional prefoaming methods, optional coating methods and foaming methods be converted into foamed moulded products with better impact strength and temperature resistance than foamed moulded products based on the polymer alone.
  • the polymer is preferably polystyrene (see example 2 of the examples).
  • foamed moulded products are no longer affected by the disadvantages of the low glass transition temperature of polylactic acid they have a broader field of application.
  • foamed moulded products also have a broader field of application because they have a higher temperature resistance, which makes them suitable for use in the production of objects in which heat is used.
  • a third preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to an extruded film having a high concentration of polylactic acid and a low concentration of the polymer.
  • Such films are produced by extruding the present polymer mixture or by extruding a mixture of particles of polylactic acid and particles of the polymer to obtain a film of the present polymer mixture.
  • Such films can by means of reduction methods (for example slicing or cutting) be converted into strips that can be used to reinforce foamed moulded products preferably based on polystyrene, which strips exhibit improved impact strength, temperature resistance and adhesion to foamed moulded products (see example 3 of the examples).
  • Another favourable property, besides the high temperature resistance, of reinforcing strips made of a polymer mixture according to the present invention is that, contrary to reinforcing strips made of polyvinyl arene alone, they exhibit very good adhesion to expanded polyvinyl arenes. It is hence preferable for reinforcing strips according to the present invention to be used in foamed moulded products made of polyvinyl arenes.
  • the present inventor found particularly good adhesion between a reinforcing element according to the present invention and foamed moulded products made of polystyrene. It is therefore more preferable for reinforcing strips according to the present invention to be used in foamed moulded products made of polystyrene.
  • the present films can by means of forming methods known per se (for example moulding and thermoforming) be converted into moulded products to be used for a large number of applications, for example packaging material for foodstuffs, other packaging materials or plant pots.

  • the particle size of the particulate extruded product preferably ranges between 0.5 mm and 5 mm.
  • a particle size of less than 0.5 mm is very difficult to obtain without loss of the desired properties, and a particle size of more than 5 mm leads to less advantageous foam properties on account of the reduced ratio between the area and volume of the particle.
  • the particle size in particular ranges between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm, with a view to obtaining optimum foam properties.

  • An extruded product was produced using a mixture of polylactic acid (Zhejiang Hisun Biomaterials type expansion grade PLA: PLA type 1 or NatureWorks 2002 D: PLA type 2) and polystyrene (Synbra Technology) using a twin-screw extruder (Berstorff ZE 40A), which extruded product had a particle size of 1.0-1.2 mm. The particles were then impregnated with 8% CO 2 and subsequently prefoamed in a prefoamer to a certain density (kg/m 3 ).
  • the present polymer mixture was processed in a film extruder in which HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene) is usually processed into film.
  • the device is a twin-screw extruder (Berstorff ZE 40A), which was operated at a processing temperature of 180-200° C.
  • the extruded film was 50 mm wide and 0.7 mm thick.
  • the results of experiments using 0, 5, 10, 20, 50, 70, 90 and 100 wt. % polylactic acid are given in Table 3.
  • the present inventors noted that at a certain polylactic acid concentration the film acquired a very white appearance and was characterised by a desirable mother-of-pearl structure, predominantly at a concentration of between 40 and 70 wt. % polylactic acid.
  • the Charpy impact strength was determined according to standard ISO 179-1:2000.
  • the temperature resistance was determined at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100° C.
  • the extent of fusion with foamed polystyrene moulded products was also
  • polystyrene can be used as an impact modifier for polylactic acid and that this may also have a pleasing aesthetic effect.
  • Strips made of the aforementioned polymer mixtures having a thickness of 0.7 mm, a width of 5 cm and a length of 20 cm were tested. What improved above all was the temperature resistance of these strips as soon as a small added quantity of polystryrene was contained in the polylactic acid.
  • the employed 100% polylactic acid had lost its form and structure completely at 60° C. (its Tg was 60° C.).
  • the self-supporting capacity was determined by placing an arbitrary weight of 3 grams on the strips, and all the strips were capable of supporting this weight, except for 100% polylactic acid. Only at 90° C. did the supporting properties rapidly decrease. At 100° C. all the strips were completely deformed, just like HIPS.
  • DMTA Dynamic-Mechanical Thermal Analysis
  • a film was produced using mixtures of HIPS (supplied by Synbra technology), polylactic acid (supplied by Nature Works, type 2002D) and a number of other substances, viz. starch and cellulose diacetate.
  • the material could be thermoformed in the usual manner using a thermoforming machine. It was used to produce packaging for foodstuff (noodle containers). The loss of shape was determined through immersion in hot water of 60, 70, 80 and 90° C. The results are shown in Table 4.
  • a film containing 10% polystyrene, 20% starch and 70% PLA was then also produced.
  • the starting material was dried in a vacuum drier prior to the extrusion.
  • Film produced herefrom was subsequently thermoformed.
  • the produced packaging was found to exhibit no deformation following brief immersion in water of 60° C. This was repeated at 70° C. and 80° C. and the effect closely resembled that observed in the previous experiment.
  • a number of strips produced according to example 4 were also incorporated in foamed moulded products having a wall thickness of 1 cm made of polystryrene. The strips were incorporated in the foam halfway through the thickness. Moulding was effected by steaming expanded polystryrene particles having a density of 25 kg/m3 and thus processing them into a foamed moulded product. The results are shown in Table 5.
  • the strips were subsequently incorporated in a commercial founding system of IsoBouw Systems, the Powerkist, in which the strips act as a medium for absorbing tensile forces, as described in NL1022503C.
