Description

Multifunctional polylactic acid nano composite material with high transparency and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of high polymer materials, relates to a multifunctional polylactic acid nano composite material with high transparency and a preparation method thereof, and particularly relates to a multifunctional polylactic acid nano composite material obtained by modifying nano particles and reactively blending and a preparation method thereof.
Background
It is well known that polylactic acid is the most widely studied and applied biodegradable green polymer at present. It not only has good mechanical properties (high modulus and high strength), biocompatibility, high transparency and easy processing, but also is more environment-friendly than the traditional petroleum-based polymer in the production process, so that the polymer is widely applied to the aspects of packaging, textile and biomedicine. But as a biodegradable thermoplastic material it is susceptible to degradation during processing and thus loss of mechanical properties. In addition, polylactic acid has some serious disadvantages, such as high brittleness, poor toughness, low impact strength, poor ductility, low crystallization rate, poor heat resistance, low heat distortion temperature, etc., which affect the processing conditions of polylactic acid and limit the application of polylactic acid. Therefore, in order to expand the application range of polylactic acid, it is necessary to modify polylactic acid to improve the performance of the material.
At present, there are many methods for modifying polylactic acid using inorganic fillers and fibers as a compatibilizer. Compared with other fillers, the nano particles have the characteristics of small volume and high surface area, so that the nano composite material can improve better mechanical property under the same addition amount. The Ming Wang et al successfully prepares the PLLA/multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite material with the isolation structure by utilizing two PLLAs with different viscosities and crystallinities, the intensive distribution of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes in the L-PLLA phase and the continuous L-PLANT network formed by the isolation structure enable the material to show high conductivity, ultralow permeation threshold and high performance electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, and the Young modulus, the tensile strength and the elongation at break are improved. Jinping Qu et al prepared PLLA/Organically Modified Montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites with different OMMT concentrations using an extruder, found that the rheological properties and modulus of the material are significantly enhanced, and the addition of OMMT nanoparticles increases the crystallinity of the PLLA matrix. Jacques Lemaitre et al prepared a compact PLLA/nano-hydroxyapatite composite material using a hot pressing method, and found that increasing the concentration of nano-hydroxyapatite increased the Young's modulus and mechanical strength of the composite material while maintaining the particle size and degree of dispersion, and at the same time, the failure mechanism of the material changed from plastic to brittle. Long Jiang et al first adsorbed and modified the surfaces of calcium carbonate and montmorillonite, improved the affinity of two kinds of particles with polylactic acid, made the particles obtain good dispersion in the polymer matrix, and realized the enhancement and toughening modification to polylactic acid. Jean-Jacques Robin et al grafted PLLA molecular chains onto Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC) to obtain a PLLA-based nanocomposite grafted with nanocrystals (PLLA/PLLA-g-CNCs), which has significantly enhanced crystallinity and mechanical properties due to the interaction between the cellulose nanocrystals and PLLA, compared to the ungrafted one. Changren Zhou et al prepared g-CHW/PLLA nanocomposites by solution casting, and compared to unmodified CHW/PLLA materials, g-CHWs were better dispersed throughout the matrix than CHWs, with greater improvements in tensile strength, tensile modulus and energy at break. Dong Keun Han et al prepared two surface modifications nMH with oligomeric lactic acid, and the addition of modified nMH not only improved the mechanical properties, but also improved the uniformity of the magnesium hydroxide particles in the PLLA matrix due to the increased interfacial interactions. Surface modified nMH successfully improved the physical and biological properties of the PLLA/nMH composite compared to the unmodified control sample.
However, in most work, transparency of PLLA materials is often sacrificed in order to obtain excellent mechanical properties. In addition, the poor heat resistance of the polylactic acid composite material is still a problem to be solved urgently. Therefore, the present invention is still a difficult task to prepare a multifunctional PLLA nanocomposite material having excellent transparency, ductility, toughness, rigidity, heat resistance, flame retardancy and complete biodegradability while maintaining good dispersibility of the filler.
According to the invention, a boehmite nanorod is synthesized by a hydrothermal method, surface modification and modification are carried out on the boehmite nanorod to modify an epoxy group, and then the polylactic acid nanocomposite with high transparency and versatility is prepared by a melt blending method. The epoxy groups on the nanorods can be grafted with polylactic acid molecular chains through ring-opening reaction in the process of melt blending, so that the polylactic acid molecular chains are uniformly dispersed in a polylactic acid matrix, and because the high-filled nanorods cause the limitation of crystallization space in the polylactic acid matrix, although the introduction of the nanorods promotes the nucleation of polylactic acid, the growth of polylactic acid crystals is inhibited, and the high transparency of the material is maintained; in addition, the nucleation of the polylactic acid matrix is promoted by increasing the content of the nano rods, and a good interface is formed between the uniformly dispersed nano rods and the polylactic acid matrix, so that the toughness, the ductility and the modulus of the material are increased. In addition, the addition of the boehmite nano-rods with high filling amount also endows the material with certain flame retardant property and heat resistance.

FIGS. 1(a) - (b) are the quenched cross-sectional morphologies of the composite sheets prepared in comparative example 1 and example 6, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 1, SEM analysis of example 6 (polylactic acid containing 30 wt% AG) and comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid) shows that after the nanoparticles are added, the nanoparticles are uniformly dispersed in the polylactic acid matrix, and no obvious agglomeration phenomenon is found, which indicates that the modified boehmite nanorods have better dispersibility.
FIGS. 2(a) - (b) are polarization microscope images of the composite sheets prepared in comparative example 1 and example 6, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 2, when POM analysis was performed on example 6 (polylactic acid containing 30 wt% AG) and comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), it was found that melt crystallization at a temperature of 130 ℃ resulted in slow crystallization of the pure polylactic acid sample, forming large and small crystals at 120min, while the polylactic acid sample containing 30 wt% AG completely crystallized at 13min, forming small and large crystals. This is because the highly filled nanorods cause the crystallization space in the polylactic acid matrix to be limited, and even though the introduction of the nanorods promotes the nucleation of polylactic acid, the growth of polylactic acid crystals is inhibited, thereby obtaining spherulites of smaller size.
FIG. 3 is a macroscopic picture of the composite sheet obtained in comparative example 1 and examples 1 to 6.
As shown in FIG. 3, by macroscopically comparing the flakes of examples 1 to 6 with that of comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), it can be seen that the transparent property is better exhibited regardless of the pure polylactic acid or the nanorod-added sample. This is attributed to the fact that the epoxy groups on the nanorods can be grafted with polylactic acid molecular chains through ring-opening reaction in the process of melt blending, so that the polylactic acid molecular chains are uniformly dispersed in the polylactic acid matrix, and because the highly filled nanorods cause the crystal space in the polylactic acid matrix to be limited, even if the introduction of the nanorods promotes the nucleation of the polylactic acid, the growth of polylactic acid crystals is inhibited, the spherulite size is small, and the high transparency of the material is still maintained.

It is well known that pure polylactic acid crystals crystallize slowly and amorphous polylactic acid is highly transparent. While the well-crystallized polylactic acid is opaque because large spherulites are formed. Such non-uniformity typically results in reflection and refraction of light, resulting in low light transmission and high haze of the material. As shown in table 1, comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid) has a light transmittance of 93.2% and a haze of 2.12%, and is a good transparent material. The light transmittance slightly decreases as the amount of added nanorods increases, because the addition of nanorods promotes the nucleation of polylactic acid. However, even at an extreme addition level of 30%, the light transmittance of the example 6 (polylactic acid containing 30 wt% AG) sheet was still 90% or more. Correspondingly, the haze of the composite material gradually increases with the increase of the addition amount, but the material still maintains lower haze (less than 4%) due to the uniform dispersion and smaller spherulite size of the nanorods, wherein the haze of example 6 is the highest, and is only 3.1%, and all the haze meets the use requirement of the transparent high polymer material.
FIG. 4 is a drawing of a composite sheet obtained in comparative example 1 and examples 4 to 6.
As shown in fig. 4, when the stress-strain curves of examples 4 to 6 are compared with that of comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), it can be seen that the pure polylactic acid sample shows a typical brittle fracture, and the elongation at break, modulus, and strength are low. With the introduction of the nano-rods, the material yields, shows completely different toughness fracture and obviously enhances the ductility. At the same time, the modulus and tensile strength of the material also gradually increase, and a higher plateau is shown with increasing addition during the yielding process, and strain hardening occurs. This is because the rigid structure of the nanorods improves the modulus of the composite. Specific data on the mechanical properties of the composites of comparative example 1 and examples 4-6 are as follows:

As shown in Table 3, when the impact data of examples 3 to 6 were compared with that of comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), it can be seen that the pure polylactic acid sample showed brittle fracture in the impact test, and the impact strength of the material gradually increased with the increase of the amount of AG added, wherein the impact strength of example 5 (polylactic acid containing 20 wt% AG) was 35.8KJ/m2, which is about 17 times that of the pure polylactic acid, and showed the best toughness. Whereas example 6 (polylactic acid containing 30 wt% AG) had a material with a reduced impact strength at an extreme addition of 30%, but still higher than comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), about 5 times as high as pure polylactic acid.

FIG. 5 is an impact diagram of composite sheets prepared in comparative example 1 and examples 3-6.
FIG. 6 is a DMA map of composite sheets made in comparative example 1 and examples 3-6.
As shown in fig. 6, comparing the DMA modulus curves of examples 3 to 6 with comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid), it can be seen that as the temperature rises, the molecular segment starts to move near Tg, the storage modulus of the material decreases, then the modulus starts to rise due to cold crystallization of polylactic acid, and as the amount of AG added increases, the modulus at the lowest point also gradually increases, which is related to the crystallinity of the material, demonstrating that the addition of AG can promote the crystallization of polylactic acid. Interestingly, the polylactic acid sample containing 30 wt% AG still maintains a certain modulus and has higher dimensional stability at 250 ℃ (far exceeding the melting point of polylactic acid).
As shown in Table 4, it was found that the storage modulus of the material also gradually increased with the increase in the amount of AG added at room temperature (25 ℃ C.). This is because the rigid structure of the nanorods increases the hardness and modulus of the material, which is consistent with the reinforcement in the stress-strain curve. In addition, as the addition amount of AG is increased, the Tg of the material is gradually reduced, because the free volume between the polylactic acid molecular chains grafted on AG is increased, so that the polylactic acid molecular chains move more easily. This also leads to the polylactic acid/AG nano composite material being easier to generate forced high elastic deformation under the action of external force, thereby leading the material to generate yield and finally show ductile fracture.

FIGS. 7(a) - (b) are flame retardant pictures of composite sheets prepared in comparative example 1 and example 6, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 7, when example 6 (polylactic acid containing 30 wt% AG) is compared with comparative example 1 (pure polylactic acid) in a flame retardant test, it can be found that the addition of boehmite nanorods slowed down the melting-off phenomenon of polylactic acid and formed a dense and uniform carbon layer at the ignition site in the case of high filling. This demonstrates that the addition of boehmite nanorods also imparts some flame retardancy to the material.
The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and all embodiments are within the scope of the present invention as long as the requirements of the present invention are met.
