Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of polymer materials, specifically a kind of composite toughening method of modifying of the poly(lactic acid) based on the crystallization regulation and control.
Background technology
Poly(lactic acid) is a kind ofly to take reproducible plant resources as raw material, the biodegradable polymer prepared through chemosynthesis, the forming process such as the thermoplasticity of poly(lactic acid) can equally be extruded as these polymers of PP, PS and PET on general processing units, injection moulding.In addition, poly(lactic acid) also has unique biocompatibility and biological degradability, and therefore, as a kind of biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic acid) has become the focus of the academic boundary of polymer and industrial community concern.
Intensity and the rigidity of poly(lactic acid) are high, but toughness and shock resistance are poor, under normal temperature, are a kind of hard and crisp materials.Therefore, to the toughness reinforcing plasticization and modification of poly(lactic acid), be its market-oriented important subject always.
Blending and modifying is a kind of comparatively economic and easy method of modifying.Blending and modifying be by poly(lactic acid), toughness preferably polymkeric substance jointly mix, thereby reach a kind of method of the toughness reinforcing purpose of poly(lactic acid).Blending modification method can improve the toughness of poly(lactic acid) effectively, also has but then between blend components that consistency is poor, a problem such as the system mechanical property is undesirable after blend.
Through the retrieval to prior art, find, in order to improve the toughness of poly(lactic acid), people have carried out many research work, as compound in adopted poly(lactic acid) and other aliphatic polyesters to carry out, but expensive, are difficult to be accepted by market.And ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is cheap and easy to get, and fabulous toughness is arranged, can be applied to the toughness reinforcing of poly(lactic acid).Japanese Patent JP-2007063435 proposes to prepare moulded products after poly(lactic acid), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer blend, although the shock strength of blend alloy is improved, the crystal property of poly(lactic acid) does not improve.(the plastics science and technology such as Fu Xuejun, 2007,35(7), 50) adopt ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to carry out toughness reinforcing to poly(lactic acid), and employing plasticizer phthalic acid dioctyl ester (DOP) improves the consistency of two-phase, but DOP has potential carinogenicity, and the application of its polylactic acid-based product also is restricted, and aforesaid method also makes poly(lactic acid) degree of crystallinity hang down difficult forming, and shaping cycle is long.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the prior art above shortcomings, a kind of composite toughening method of modifying of the poly(lactic acid) based on crystallization regulation and control is provided, simple in the implementation method step, further improved the toughness of matrix material when suitability is strong.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, and the present invention, by add glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in poly(lactic acid), realizes crystallization regulation and control and toughening modifying to poly(lactic acid).
A kind of composite toughening method of modifying of the poly(lactic acid) based on the crystallization regulation and control, according to following step, carry out: (1) is placed in poly(lactic acid) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer the dry 12h of vacuum drying oven of 60 ℃ in advance, (2) then by the poly(lactic acid) of drying and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer under the blending temperature of 170-180 ℃, add successively poly(lactic acid), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and glycidyl methacrylate, and, with the mixing 8-10 minute of the speed of 60-80 rpm, obtain the PLA/EVA intermingling material; (3) be placed in mould the product of above-mentioned blend banburying is cooling, carry out successively hot pressing in 2-3 minute and cold pressing in 3-5 minute on vulcanizing press with after 170-180 ℃ of lower preheating 2-4 minute, pressure is 10-15MPa, can reach the crystallization regulation and control of poly(lactic acid) and the purpose of toughening modifying.
The parts by weight of wherein said poly(lactic acid), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and glycidyl methacrylate are respectively 80-85 part, 10-15 part, 2.5-10 part.
Described poly(lactic acid) melting index be (190 ℃, 2.16Kg) 10g/min, the poly(lactic acid) that the trade mark that for example Natureworks company produces is 3051D, density is 1.24g/cm
3.
The melting index of described ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer be (190 ℃, 2.16Kg) 20g/min, wherein the content of vinyl acetate is 28wt%, the density that for example Hunan petro-chemical corporation produces is 0.95g/cm
3, the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer that the trade mark is VA800.
The present invention has adopted the method for ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and glycidyl methacrylate use, utilize the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer good elasticity to carry out toughness reinforcing to poly(lactic acid), utilize the crystallization behavior of glycidyl methacrylate regulation and control poly(lactic acid), to improve the elongation at break of material.Make material there are the characteristics of high tenacity.In poly(lactic acid), be 85, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer is 15, and when glycidyl methacrylate is 10 mass parts, the elongation at break of intermingling material reaches 215%, and shock strength reaches 97.18J/m.The present invention prepares that the technical process of poly(lactic acid) of good-toughness is simple, and processing characteristics is good, and cost is low and can realize large-scale industrial production.The blend obtained can be used for preparing film, sheet material and injection-molded plastic product.
