BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As a starch-based biodegradable composition, a composition containing starch as a main component,
The mainstream is a composition in which starch and a biodegradable resin are combined. However, biodegradable compositions based on starch are said to have insufficient mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength (elongation), compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, impact value, hardness, etc.). There was a problem. Furthermore, there were also disadvantages such as poor water resistance and poor moisture resistance, making it difficult to use in a wide range of fields.

[0003] Further, in a composition using starch as a part of raw materials, such as a composition in which starch and a biodegradable resin are combined, fluidity in an extruder and adhesion to a mold in a molding machine are reduced. In addition, moldability such as sagging in film and sheet molding has been a problem. Furthermore, when the starch-based biodegradable composition is made into a foam, the foaming state is not uniform, or the foam tends to be brittle, and when a composition obtained by combining starch and a biodegradable resin is made into a foam, There was also a problem that the blending ratio of the biodegradable resin had to be increased.

(Uniform foaming). However, there is a drawback that since a part of the composition contains a fluororesin, it cannot be incinerated when a molded article using the same is disposed of. Therefore, when an additive having the same effect was searched for without containing fluorine, it was found that an acrylic resin modifier was effective for a starch-based biodegradable plastic, and the present invention was reached.

The blending amount of the acrylic resin modifier is appropriately determined in consideration of the use of the composition of the present invention and the like.However, even in the field of a foam that can exert an effect at a low blending amount, the amount is not more than 0.01 part by weight. And the effect of adding the acrylic resin modifier was not observed. In addition, even in the field of injection molding requiring a relatively high blending amount, if the amount exceeds 5 parts by weight, the effect is flattened out and only the cost is increased. The blending amount of the acrylic resin modifier is preferably 100 parts by weight of starch or starch and biodegradable resin 10.

The amount of the plasticizer for starch is 100 parts by weight of starch or 100 parts by weight of starch and biodegradable resin.
It is appropriate that the amount is not less than 10 parts by weight and not more than 50 parts by weight. However, the optimum blending ratio varies depending on the ratio of starch / biodegradable resin and the ratio of wastepaper to the composite when wastepaper is composited, and also on the intended use. In general, if the blending ratio of the starch plasticizer is less than 10 parts by weight, it is difficult to flow and shows too hard physical properties. Occurs. The amount of the plasticizer for starch is preferably 20 parts by weight or more and 40 parts by weight or less based on 100 parts by weight of starch or 100 parts by weight of starch and biodegradable resin.

The composition of the present invention can contain waste paper in addition to the above components. By including waste paper,
There is an advantage that the same physical properties as the pulp mold can be imparted while taking the texture of the paper into consideration. Waste paper is
Although any of the collected paper products may be used, preferably, fine powder waste paper is used. Examples of the fine powder waste paper include those having a fiber length of 0.2 to 1 mm in the major axis direction. Use of fine powder wastepaper can improve the fluidity during molding. Fine powder waste paper can be produced by grinding or polishing the waste paper. Examples of the finely powdered waste paper include paper dust generated during bookbinding polishing, and the use of paper powder generated during bookbinding polishing is most economical. Of course, finely ground ordinary waste paper,
This can be used as fine powder waste paper.

When a sheet having a paper texture like a pulp mold is prepared, it is appropriate that the weight ratio of the waste paper is 50% or more. However, if the weight ratio of the waste paper exceeds 80%, molding becomes extremely difficult, and stable operation tends to be impossible.

As shown in Table 1, the cushioning materials of Examples 1 and 2
(Foam) had uniform foaming and was excellent in physical properties such as restoring force, foaming property, moisture absorption and water resistance as compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In particular, the results of the hygroscopicity indicate that the water content of the buffer material does not decrease even when left at low humidity. Moisture evaporates from the foam when dried in the winter, the equilibrium moisture in the foam is lost, and as a result, the flexibility is poor.
(Composition) does not occur. Further, in Examples 1 and 2, the torque fluctuation during the production of the foam was small and the value was low, whereas in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the torque fluctuation was severe, the load was high, and the productivity was poor. That is, the use of the composition of the present invention makes it possible to stably produce a foam having a fixed size with little torque fluctuation during the production of the foam. On the other hand, when the torque fluctuates greatly, the shape and size of the foam are not constant, and a problem of coloring occurs.

As shown in Table 2, in Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, the heat softening and the heat fluidity temperature in the flow tester test did not change. However, when a seedling pot was produced by injection molding using the composition of Example 3 as a trial, the mold releasability was excellent, whereas the composition of Comparative Example 3 had a problem with the mold releasability. The seedling pot formed using the composition of Example 3 was almost the same in shape and mechanical properties even after immersion in water for 24 hours, and was excellent in water resistance. In contrast, seedling pots formed using the composition of Comparative Example 3,
About half were dissolved in water and changed shape. Furthermore, the seedling pot molded using the composition of Example 3, while the stiffness is strong, moderate hardness and flexibility, while the seedling pot molded using the composition of Comparative Example 3, It was brittle without stiffness.
