Completely biodegradable master batch and preparation method thereof

The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and relates to a completely biodegradable masterbatch and a preparation method thereof. The fully biodegradable master batch is made of the following components in parts by weight: 70-95 parts of starch, 5-30-50 parts of pbat, 5-30 parts of plasticizer, 0.5-3 parts of compatilizer, 0.05-2 parts of initiator, 0.5-5 parts of hydrophobic modifier, 0-0.6 parts of lubricant and 0. 1.6 antioxidant. The fully biodegradable master batch provided by the invention not only has good thermoplasticity, good processability and good dispersion effect in polymer matrix, but also has low water absorption performance, which can ensure the mechanical properties of the material during long-term storage; When added to biodegradable polyester, the preparation cost of the mixture can be greatly reduced.

This patent describes a completely biodegradable masterbatch and its preparation method.

Technical field

[000 1] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials, and relates to a completely biodegradable master batch and a preparation method thereof.

technical background

[0002] The use of plastic film has penetrated into all fields of people's lives, and is widely used as food packaging, electronic and electrical product packaging, shopping bags and garbage bags in shopping malls. Traditional plastic film materials, such as polypropylene (PP) film and polyethylene (PE) film, are all made of petroleum, which is difficult to degrade after being abandoned in nature, causing great harm to the environment. With the exhaustion of petroleum resources and the enhancement of people's awareness of environmental protection, it has become the mainstream in the future to develop fully degradable and environmentally friendly polymer materials as film materials.

[0003] Polylactic acid (PLA), polybutylene succinate (PBS), poly (butylene terephthalate-co-butylene adipate) (PBAT), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), etc. All of them are biodegradable and can be completely degraded into water and carbon dioxide after use. Therefore, it can be widely used in the field of plastic films and reduce the environmental pollution caused by the use of traditional films. However, the price of these biodegradable materials is high, and the prepared films are not competitive compared with traditional films.

[0004] Starch widely exists in plants in nature, which is rich in resources, low in price and biodegradable. Therefore, by adding starch to biodegradable polyester, the prepared mixture can not only achieve complete biodegradation, but also reduce the preparation cost of the mixture and increase its market competitiveness.

[0005] One method of adding starch to high molecular weight polyester is to directly mix starch, plasticizer and various processing AIDS with polyester in a high mixer, and then add them to a screw machine for extrusion granulation to obtain a * * * mixture, as described in patent CN 13 15927. Due to the poor thermoplasticity of untreated starch, it is difficult to process, so plasticizer should be added to plasticize it at the same time to improve the processing performance of starch. However, due to the existence of a large number of high molecular weight polyesters in the above processing methods, starch is easily plasticized unevenly, resulting in poor dispersibility in polyester. In order to improve the processability and dispersibility of starch in polyester, starch can be made into thermoplastic starch masterbatch and then mixed with high molecular weight polyester to obtain a biodegradable mixture. Therefore, the properties of thermoplastic starch masterbatch have great influence on the properties of the final mixture. One of the most important problems is the high water absorption of starch, and in order to improve the plasticity of starch, the added polyol plasticizer makes the prepared thermoplastic starch more water-absorbent, which will obviously reduce the mechanical properties of biodegradable polyester * * * mixture containing starch with the extension of storage time. Patent CN 10 1328285 and patent cn10122517 use two monomers with reactive end groups and hydrophobic alkyl chains to react with starch for hydrophobic treatment, which can significantly reduce the water absorption of modified starch, but the obtained starch has poor plasticity.
