The plant wood fiber can be made into lignocellulose biomass plastic, but has the defects of low tensile strength, low elongation at break and poor heat resistance and water resistance. In order to improve the tensile strength, elongation at break and waterproof performance of the lignocellulose biomass plastic, the plant lignocellulose fiber can be blended with polyethylene glycol and polyethyleneimine to prepare the modified lignocellulose biomass plastic. However, polyethylene glycol and polyethyleneimine with high molecular weight are difficult to dissolve at normal temperature, cannot be well blended with lignocellulose, are easily unevenly distributed after being melted at high temperature, and thus the tensile strength, elongation at break and waterproofness of the formed lignocellulose biomass plastic cannot be well improved.
The invention takes plant wood fiber, polyethylene glycol with 4000-6000Da and polyethyleneimine with 30000-50000Da as raw materials, and the plant wood fiber solution is prepared by dissolving plant wood fiber powder after mixing methyl triethyl ammonium hydroxide, polyethylene glycol with 500-1500Da and sodium hydroxide solution with 1 mol/L. And then adding 4000-6000Da polyethylene glycol and 30000-50000Da polyethyleneimine, after dissolving, adding water to quickly regenerate lignin from the plant lignocellulose solution, and intertwining and crosslinking the regenerated lignin with 4000-6000Da polyethylene glycol and 30000-50000Da polyethyleneimine, and filling the cellulose nano-network structure to obtain a large number of stable solid plastic particles containing cellulose lignin with high toughness. The degradable plastic prepared by the regenerated solid plastic particles after extrusion granulation has good tensile strength, elongation at break and waterproof capability, and meanwhile, the degradable plastic is naturally degradable for a short time, and can be used for preparing disposable plastic bags, packaging boxes and the like.
The beneficial effects are that:
1. The invention successfully separates out the biodegradable material with good tensile strength, elongation at break and waterproof performance after adding water after the plant wood fiber solution, the polyethylene glycol with 4000-6000Da and the polyethyleneimine with 30000-50000Da are co-dissolved.
2. The plant wood fiber solution is prepared from plant wood fiber powder, methyl triethylammonium hydroxide, polyethylene glycol with the molecular weight of 500-1500Da and sodium hydroxide solution with the molecular weight of 1mol/L, and can dissolve plant wood fiber, high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol and polyethyleneimine simultaneously to fully mix the plant wood fiber powder, the high-molecular-weight polyethylene glycol and polyethyleneimine, so that the prepared degradable plastic structure has compact tensile strength, elongation at break and waterproof performance which are effectively improved.
3. The prepared plant wood fiber solution is degradable by a green solvent, and can be added with plant wood fiber powder again for recycling, so that the whole synthesis process is mild in condition and environment-friendly.
