Technical background
As everyone knows, be used for preparing in the various materials of biological degradation goods in consideration, starch is the most potential a kind of raw material.Starch is as the potential advantages that exploitation has biodegradable plastic: (1) starch all possesses biodegradability completely in various environment; (2) after the starch molecule biological degradation, finally resolve into CO
2And H
2O can not produce any pollution to soil or air; (3) can reach the mechanical property that is used to make plastic material after taking suitable technology to make starch thermoplasticityization; (4) starch is renewable resources, and that gets is without cease; (5) the new Application Areas of developing starch helps rural economic development; (6) the starch cost is low, and the biodegradable material of preparation has price advantage.
In recent years, along with people to eliminating " white pollution " and to the raising day by day of environmental protection cry, starch-base biodegradation material arises at the historic moment.But present most of starch-base biodegradation material and product are not water-fast, or even the water dissolution type, cause its application in a lot of fields to be restricted.As Novon International, Inc. company is at US5,852, propose preparation in 114 and had a kind of method of the thermoplastic polymer blend matrix material of very fast biodegradation rate, this body of material composition: ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and starch, adopt extruding forming method, article shape is various, but does not solve the water-fast problem of material.
US 6,517,994 prepared (methyl) acrylate of a kind of containing, the repeated monomer unit is that structural formula is:
Or
Polylactone, wherein R1, R2 are H or methyl.
This synthesis route carries out in the aqueous solution, does not extrude at the forcing machine internal reaction to obtain, and is not suitable for large-scale production, the cost height.Polylactone after the polymerization does not have the active reaction center in addition, can not react with hydroxyl again.
US5,631, though 342 made structural formula and be:
Lactone polymer, wherein R1 is H or methyl, R2 is that carbonatoms is 1~10 group, X represents from lactone ring-opening reaction deutero-structural unit, its structural formula is
Ra, Rb are H or methyl.But this synthesis route also carries out in the aqueous solution, does not extrude at the forcing machine internal reaction to obtain, and is not suitable for large-scale production, the cost height.Polylactone after the polymerization does not have the active reaction center in addition, can not react with hydroxyl again.
US4,632,975 have made structural formula is
Polylactone, wherein R1 is H or methyl, and R2 is the lactone repeated structural unit, and m is the integer between 2~6, and n is the integer between 0~2, and m+n 〉=3, m>n.But the polylactone of this structure does not have the active reaction center, can not react with hydroxyl again, and carry out in the aqueous solution, and complicated operation can not large-scale production.
US4504635 adopts aqueous solution approach to synthesize structural formula
Polylactone, R wherein, R1, R2, R3 is H or methyl; R4, R5 are that H or carbonatoms are 1~12 alkyl; X is the integer between 4~7.The polymerization in solution of this polylactone obtains, and its X resin is less, and the polylactone relative molecular mass that obtains is less.Not having in the molecular structure of this polylactone in addition can be again and the functional group of hydroxyl reaction.
In the above-mentioned document of mentioning, though have made the polylactone that contains unsaturated double-bond, all be to adopt the solution method preparation, prepared polylactone does not have and can carry out the reactive activity reactive center with hydroxyl.

Represent the starch polymer structure
The structure of catalyzer is example with the titanium propanolate:
1. the polymerization of lactone polymer (is example with the caprolactone)
Reaction formula (1)
Since this lactone polymer contain can with the titanium propanolate active centre of hydroxyl reaction, with the melt-mixing process of starch or other polymkeric substance in, the titanium propanolate active centre can react with the hydroxyl in starch or other polymkeric substance and seal hydroxyl, make the hydrophobic performance of material be improved, with with starch in hydroxyl reaction be example, react as follows:
Reaction formula (2)
N is an integer in the formula, 1≤n≤3.If n 〉=2, then abutment has been served as at the titanium active reaction center of lactone, and it is crosslinked that starch polymer is taken place, and the molecular structure of starch polymer changes, and the tensile strength of material, elongation, hydrophobic performance are improved.If the titanium active centre with starch polymer and other polymer macromolecule reaction has taken place simultaneously, reaction product then can be served as the interfacial compatibilizer of starch and this polymkeric substance, thereby has improved the interface compatibility of the two, and the mechanical property of material also can correspondingly improve.
In addition,, be opened at the following pair key of action of evocating because this lactone polymer contains unsaturated double-bond, the generation free radical, free radical can react with starch or other polymkeric substance, and it is as follows with starch to be that example is then reacted:
Reaction formula (3)
The generation of this type of reaction, partial destruction the molecular structure of starch, the part ripple hydroxyl of living is fallen in sealing, so the hydrophobic performance of material improves.
This patent adopts the functionalization catalyzer, obtained the polylactone that contains unsaturated double-bond and have the active reaction center by the reaction extrusion method, this chain carrier can react with the hydroxyl in starch or other polymkeric substance, thereby the free hydroxyl in starch or other polymer molecular chain is fallen in sealing, changed their molecular structure, strong interaction between its molecule is seriously undermined, thereby improved the material hydrophobic performance.Abutment also can be served as in this active centre, and it is partial cross-linked that starch or other hydroxyl polymer-containing are taken place, thereby has improved the mechanical property of goods.
Advantages such as the present invention has that cost is low, goods hydrophobicity height, simple to operate, material fully biodegradable can solve white pollution problems.The method that the present invention adopts reaction to extrude, the modification of material and forming materials carry out simultaneously, have simplified production technique, have reduced production cost, and are convenient to serialization production.
