Technical Field
The invention relates to an application of an inorganic nano material in the aspects of improving the smoothness and softness of a cellulose membrane.
Background
Under the current severe environment-friendly situation, the application of the regenerated cellulose membrane is more and more extensive, and especially in the field of food and drug packaging, the cellulose membrane is favored by the unique characteristics of easy tearing, easy distortion, good air permeability and excellent printing composite performance. In developed countries in Europe and America, the regenerated cellulose membrane with the largest use amount belongs to two fields of meat food packaging and medicine packaging such as ham and the like, but with the continuous improvement of production efficiency, the regenerated cellulose membrane has the limitations of low smoothness, poor softness, poor usability under low-temperature and high-humidity conditions and the like under special use conditions.
According to investigation, the required environmental temperature is below 15 ℃ when meat such as ham and the like is produced or processed, the temperature of meat products packaged by the cellulose membrane is required to be 0-5 ℃, the relative humidity is about 70% RH, and the requirement on the smoothness of the cellulose membrane is quite high under the low-temperature and high-humidity condition; in the field of medicine packaging, a consumable material of a full-automatic medicine dispensing machine is a composite film of regenerated cellulose and polyethylene, and the requirements of the processing and using processes of products on the smoothness and softness of a regenerated cellulose film are strict.
Currently, the conventional cellulose film preparation in industry uses a multi-step, complex viscose process. The process is a high-energy-consumption and heavy-pollution technology, is complex and long, is difficult to control conditions, and has various chemical species, strong toxicity and corrosivity and large consumption; in the production process, a large amount of waste gas and waste water with high acidity and difficult treatment are generated. Therefore, researchers turn to new green and efficient cellulose membrane production processes, and at the present stage, methods for producing cellulose materials by dissolving ionic liquids are widely concerned. The invention provides a preparation method for preparing a regenerated cellulose/inorganic nano-material composite membrane by taking ionic liquid as a solvent, which not only meets the requirements of food and medicine packaging on smoothness and softness of a regenerated cellulose membrane, but also avoids the problems of high energy consumption and high pollution of the traditional regenerated cellulose membrane preparation.
