Description

本発明は、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料に関するものであり、より詳しくは、飲食用容器を初め、シート、フィルムなどの各種包装材料、緩衝材、生活用品、農業用品など広範囲の用途に用いることができ、廃棄処理されたときに短期間に生分解又は崩壊する澱粉を主成分とする澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料に関する。特に、真空成形、押出成形、インジェクション成形(射出成形)、インフレーション成形、ブロー成形(吹込成形)などプラスチックの各種成形法に適合した物性及び成形加工性を有するバラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料に関する。 The present invention relates to a starch / resin composite molding processing material, and more specifically, it is used for a wide range of applications such as food and drink containers, various packaging materials such as sheets and films, cushioning materials, daily necessities, and agricultural products. The present invention relates to a starch / resin composite molding process material containing starch as a main component, which biodegrades or disintegrates in a short period of time when it is disposed of. In particular, a starch / resin composite molding processing material having physical properties and molding processability suitable for various plastic molding methods such as vacuum molding, extrusion molding, injection molding (injection molding), inflation molding, and blow molding (injection molding). Regarding.

石油資源等に基づくプラスチック成形品は、飲食用容器を初め、シート、フィルムなどの各種包装材料、緩衝材、生活用品、農業用品など産業資材として広範囲の用途に用いられている。一方で、大量消費により温室効果ガスによる地球温暖化や石油資源の枯渇が地球規模で長期的に取り組む重要な課題となっている。さらに、従来から石油系のプラスチック成形品が廃棄された際、自然環境では分解、崩壊し難く、長期にわたり自然の中に残存し、自然環境を汚染することが依然として課題として残っている。 Plastic molded products based on petroleum resources are used in a wide range of applications such as food and drink containers, various packaging materials such as sheets and films, cushioning materials, daily necessities, and agricultural products. On the other hand, global warming due to greenhouse gases and depletion of petroleum resources due to mass consumption have become important issues to be tackled on a global scale in the long term. Furthermore, when petroleum-based plastic molded products have been disposed of, they are difficult to decompose and collapse in the natural environment, remain in nature for a long period of time, and pollute the natural environment.

今日、プラスチック成形品の原材料として石油の代替材料となり、温暖化に影響しない、あるいは自然環境の中で比較的速やかに崩壊し、自然環境に優しい新たな材料として、天然素材が着目され、温暖化や資源の枯渇及び環境の汚染の課題を解消する一つの手段として、近年大きく進歩したバイオ技術に着目し、生物由来の有機資源であるバイオマス素材の活用が特に進められている。 Today, as a raw material for plastic molded products, it has become an alternative material to petroleum, and it does not affect global warming, or it collapses relatively quickly in the natural environment. As a means to solve the problems of resource depletion and environmental pollution, attention has been paid to biotechnology, which has made great progress in recent years, and the utilization of biomass materials, which are organic resources derived from living organisms, is being particularly promoted.

そのようなバイオマス素材としてポリ乳酸、澱粉、変性澱粉、セルロース等の天然素材の使用が提案されている。バイオマス素材は、廃棄されても自然環境下で最終的に分解されることから、環境に悪影響を与えないものである。 The use of natural materials such as polylactic acid, starch, modified starch, and cellulose has been proposed as such biomass materials. Biomass materials do not adversely affect the environment because they are finally decomposed in the natural environment even if they are discarded.

バイオマス素材の代表例が澱粉である。澱粉は、生分解性樹脂や他のバイオマス由来プラスチックに比べて安価であり、生分解性の促進、焼却時の低エネルギー化を実現できるバイオマス素材である。澱粉を充填剤として用いることで、自己分解性、崩壊性の組成物をより安価に提供することができる。また、澱粉は、温暖化や石油資源の枯渇に対応でき、低コスト化を実現することを目的に近年、着目され、使用する割合が増している。 A typical example of a biomass material is starch. Starch is a biomass material that is cheaper than biodegradable resins and other biomass-derived plastics, and can promote biodegradability and reduce energy consumption during incineration. By using starch as a filler, a self-degradable and disintegrating composition can be provided at a lower cost. In addition, starch has been attracting attention in recent years for the purpose of being able to cope with global warming and depletion of petroleum resources and realizing cost reduction, and the proportion of starch being used is increasing.

しかしながら、広範な用途にバイオマス素材を適用するためには、機械的特性、熱的特性、溶融加工性などが要求され、環境対応素材の多くは、十分な物性を有さず、成形することが困難である。 However, in order to apply biomass materials to a wide range of applications, mechanical properties, thermal properties, melt processability, etc. are required, and many environmentally friendly materials do not have sufficient physical properties and can be molded. Have difficulty.

そこで、物性や加工性を改善し、プラスチック成形加工材料の代替を可能とするため、バイオマスを原料としたポリ乳酸やバイオポリエチレン、澱粉やセルロースを、ポリオレフィン等の合成樹脂材料と複合材料化し、対応したものがある(特許文献1、2)。 Therefore, in order to improve physical properties and processability and make it possible to substitute for plastic molding processing materials, polylactic acid, biopolyethylene, starch and cellulose made from biomass are made into composite materials with synthetic resin materials such as polyolefins. (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

澱粉は、高分子量の素材であり、澱粉のままでは通常の形状が微粒体であること、さらに密度が低いことなどにより、粉塵が舞いやすいとともに粉体の流動安定性が悪く、定量供給しにくく、澱粉のままでは成形加工時、材料の流動性に欠け、取り扱い性、成形加工性に難点がある。さらに、澱粉と合成樹脂との複合化により形成される澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は均一性や均質性の面で安定しない。すなわち、材料の形態や性質の異なる澱粉とプラスチックスの複合材料であり、混合し複合成形加工材料を形成できても、できた
ものは、製品全体の物性、性質にバラツキを生じてしまう。複合化のためには自ずと使用量が制限されるばかりでなく、使用量が多い場合は、強制的に澱粉を供給させるような特殊な定量フィーダーや成形機が必要である。そのため、製造コストを押し上げる要因ともなっている。
Starch is a high molecular weight material, and as it is, the normal shape of starch is fine particles, and the density is low. Therefore, dust is likely to fly and the flow stability of the powder is poor, making it difficult to supply a fixed amount. If starch is left as it is, the material lacks fluidity during molding, and there are problems in handleability and molding processability. Further, the starch / resin composite molding processed material formed by combining starch and synthetic resin is not stable in terms of uniformity and homogeneity. That is, it is a composite material of starch and plastics having different material forms and properties, and even if the composite molded material can be formed by mixing, the resulting product will have variations in the physical properties and properties of the entire product. Not only is the amount used limited naturally for compounding, but when the amount used is large, a special quantitative feeder or molding machine that forcibly supplies starch is required. Therefore, it is also a factor that pushes up the manufacturing cost.

バラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、各種成形法、例えば、押出成形、T−ダイ押出成形、インジェクション成形、真空成形などの成形法により、各種包装材料や使い捨ての製品である買物袋、生ゴミ収集袋、使い捨て弁当箱、コップ、食品トレー、ナイフ、フォーク、スプーン、歯ブラシ、クシや農業用製品である農業用袋、育苗ポット、栽培セット、コンポスト袋や緩衝材、飲食容器などが製造でき、製造された成形物は、近年、分解性又は崩壊性が付与され、早く減容でき、環境に優しい成形物として、石油系の合成樹脂成形物に代わり利用され始めている。 The starch / resin composite molding processing material with less variation can be obtained by various molding methods, for example, extrusion molding, T-die extrusion molding, injection molding, vacuum molding, etc., to obtain various packaging materials and disposable products such as shopping bags. Manufactures garbage collection bags, disposable lunch boxes, cups, food trays, knives, forks, spoons, toothbrushes, combs and agricultural products such as agricultural bags, seedling pots, cultivation sets, compost bags and cushioning materials, food and drink containers, etc. In recent years, the produced molded articles have been imparted with degradability or disintegration property, can be quickly reduced in volume, and have begun to be used in place of petroleum-based synthetic resin molded articles as environmentally friendly molded articles.

そのような環境に優しい素材として澱粉を含む成形材料を製造するためには、合成樹脂の添加量を少なくするように考慮する必要があり、澱粉の量を多くすると澱粉・合成樹脂複合材料として機械的特性や成形性の低下が起きるため、澱粉の添加量や成形自由度に制限が出るなどの課題があった。 In order to produce a molding material containing starch as such an environment-friendly material, it is necessary to consider reducing the amount of synthetic resin added, and when the amount of starch is increased, the machine becomes a starch / synthetic resin composite material. There is a problem that the amount of starch added and the degree of freedom of molding are limited because the characteristics and moldability are deteriorated.

熱可塑性樹脂としては、ペレット状の粒状物が用いられ、本発明の均一、均質な澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料を形成するためには、20重量%以上50重量%未満の範囲にあることが好ましい。熱可塑性樹脂が、20重量%未満であると、得られる澱粉・樹脂複合成形材料として比重が小さい澱粉の量が多くなり、バイオマス成形材料として均一化し難くなり、複合成形加工材料として均一、均質なものが得難くなる。しかも添加剤の量も多くする必要がある。結果、機械的特性の低下が著しく、成形時、偏肉、破れなどが生じ、薄物の成形、深物の深絞り成形が困難となり、質感が得られず、成形加工が困難になる。 As the thermoplastic resin, pellet-shaped granules are used, and in order to form the uniform, homogeneous starch / resin composite molding processed material of the present invention, it may be in the range of 20% by weight or more and less than 50% by weight. preferable. When the thermoplastic resin content is less than 20% by weight, the amount of starch having a small specific gravity as the obtained starch / resin composite molding material increases, making it difficult to homogenize as the biomass molding material, and uniform and homogeneous as the composite molding processing material. It becomes difficult to obtain things. Moreover, it is necessary to increase the amount of additives. As a result, the mechanical properties are significantly deteriorated, uneven thickness, tearing, etc. occur during molding, which makes it difficult to mold thin materials and deep drawn products, and it is difficult to obtain a texture and molding processing.

一方、熱可塑性樹脂が50重量%だと、澱粉が熱可塑性樹脂の改質剤として、例えば、充填剤として位置付けられ、得られる澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、プラスチック成形材料としての物性、性質が強く出て、成形は可能であるが、得られる澱粉・樹脂複合成形材料は、澱粉が充填剤として添加されるものとなり、プラスチック材料の性質が強く、減容化がし難く、温室効果ガスの排出削減への貢献が低下し、バイオマス原料としての澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料が得られ難くなる。しかも、成形加工材料は、充填剤の澱粉が多く、成形加工材料の物性及び複合材料としての均一性、均質性の変動が大きく、安定した材料が得られ難くなる。 On the other hand, when the thermoplastic resin is 50% by weight, the starch is positioned as a modifier for the thermoplastic resin, for example, as a filler, and the obtained starch / resin composite molding processing material has physical properties and properties as a plastic molding material. However, in the obtained starch / resin composite molding material, starch is added as a filler, and the properties of the plastic material are strong, it is difficult to reduce the volume, and the greenhouse gas. Contribution to reduction of emissions will decrease, and it will be difficult to obtain starch / resin composite molding processed materials as biomass raw materials. Moreover, the molding-processed material contains a large amount of starch as a filler, and the physical properties of the molding-processed material and the uniformity and homogeneity of the composite material fluctuate greatly, making it difficult to obtain a stable material.

また、本発明の複合成形加工材料の製造方法において澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を形成することなく、原材料の各成分組成が同じ材料から成形加工材料を製造した場合、製造される成形材料の物性、複合材料としての均一性、均質性の変動が大きく、バラツキが大きく、安定した材料が得られ難くなる。 Further, in the method for producing a composite molding material of the present invention, when a molding material is produced from a material having the same composition of each component of the raw material without forming a starch / resin composite intermediate granule, the physical properties of the produced molding material. , The uniformity as a composite material, the variation of homogeneity is large, the variation is large, and it becomes difficult to obtain a stable material.

コア部を形成する生分解性材料としては、メチルセルロース、ヒドロキシメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシブチルメチルセルロースなどのセルロース誘導体、ポリビニルアルコール、カルボキシメチルセルロース、ポリアクリル酸系ポリマー、ポリアクリルアミドなどの親水性高分子材料、各種アクリレート、エチレン/酢酸ビニル共重合体、ポリウレタンなどのエマルジョン、脂肪族ポリエステル系樹脂であるカプロラクトン、ポリ乳酸、ポリブチレンアジペート、ポリブチレンサクシネート、ポリヒドロキシブチレート・バリレート共重合体などの生分解性材料を挙げることができる。 Biodegradable materials forming the core include cellulose derivatives such as methyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and hydroxybutyl methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethyl cellulose, and polyacrylic acid.

本発明では、製造過程で形成された複合中間粒体、シート又は成形後の抜きかすを破砕し、粒状体にしたフラフも澱粉・樹脂複合材料あるいは澱粉材料からなる生分解性材料であることから、再利用し、熱可塑性樹脂とともに、コア部となる粒状体として用いることができる。 In the present invention, the fluff formed by crushing the composite intermediate granules, sheets or post-molded debris formed in the manufacturing process into granules is also a starch / resin composite material or a biodegradable material made of a starch material. , Can be reused and used as a granule to be a core part together with a thermoplastic resin.

本発明において、使用する熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体の平均粒径は、長軸1〜10mm、短軸1〜10mmの範囲のものが採用される。この長軸の大きさを超えた場合又は大きさが小さい場合は、粒体の付着量のバランスが悪くなるため、いずれも澱粉と熱可塑性樹脂との澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体として均一、均質性が劣る。さらには、成形物中での両者の分散性が劣る。粒径の大きい粒体が存在することもあって、物性や製品の外観も劣る結果と
なる。少ない量で効果的に粉粒体ができ、成形加工性がよく、製品の外観に影響しないことを総合的に考慮して、本発明の澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料に使用する熱可塑性樹脂は、平均粒径を上記の範囲のものを使用する。
In the present invention, the average particle size of the granular material of the thermoplastic resin used is in the range of 1 to 10 mm on the major axis and 1 to 10 mm on the minor axis. If the size of the major axis is exceeded or the size is small, the balance of the amount of adhered granules becomes unbalanced. Therefore, all of them are uniform and homogeneous as starch / resin composite intermediate granules of starch and thermoplastic resin. Inferior in sex. Furthermore, the dispersibility of both in the molded product is inferior. Due to the presence of granules having a large particle size, the physical properties and the appearance of the product are also inferior. The thermoplastic resin used in the starch / resin composite molding material of the present invention is comprehensively considered that it can effectively form powders and granules with a small amount, has good molding processability, and does not affect the appearance of the product. , Use one with an average particle size in the above range.

Therefore, in the step of heating and stirring, the additive is entangled with the starch and the thermoplastic resin and adheres to the starch. Further cool and agitate, at least to allow the starch and the thermoplastic resin granules to retain the properties of the fluid starch-resin composite material, as well as to have an affinity for and adhere to the thermoplastic resin. When the refractory additive is resolidified, it is necessary to add an additive that can act as an adhesive to stably form the morphology of the starch-resin composite intermediate granules.

さらに、澱粉・樹脂複合成形材料の押出時には、澱粉と熱可塑性樹脂を均一に分散させる分散剤として機能し、さらに溶融混練し、溶融する樹脂と溶融しない澱粉とを材料劣化することなく押し出すことができるようにするため滑性を付与することができる添加剤を加える。

本発明では、上記のように機能する添加剤として、投入直後は粉体だが、材料の昇温と共に溶融状態になり、澱粉に付着することで澱粉を熱可塑性樹脂と付着させやすくし、澱粉と均一、均質に混合され、澱粉の流動性を高めるように働くよう、内部滑性を高める添加剤を用いる。そして添加剤は、熱可塑性樹脂の溶融温度より低い溶融温度を有し、比較的低温度、例えば、100℃以下で溶融するもの、好ましくは、60〜100℃で溶融するもの、しかも粘性があり、粉体と絡み粘着させるように機能し得る添加剤が用いられる。少なくとも前記のような性質、機能を果たすことができ、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体中に同時存在する、相対的に低温で溶融され、澱粉と絡ませ、付着され添加される添加剤を本発明では「低融点添加剤」と定義する。
(Low melting point additive)
In the present invention, as an additive that functions as described above, it is a powder immediately after being added, but it becomes a molten state as the temperature of the material rises, and by adhering to starch, it becomes easier for the starch to adhere to the thermoplastic resin, and the starch and starch. Additives that increase internal slipperiness are used so that they are mixed uniformly and uniformly and work to increase the fluidity of the starch. The additive has a melting temperature lower than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, and melts at a relatively low temperature, for example, 100 ° C. or lower, preferably 60 to 100 ° C., and is viscous. , Additives that can function to entangle and adhere to the powder are used.

該低融点添加剤の添加量は、好ましくは、0.1〜10.0重量%である。0.1重量%以下であると、付着剤としての機能が不十分であり、10重量%以上であると、原材料にベタ付きを生じさせ、流動撹拌性が低下し、また、澱粉玉が形成されやすくなり、高温撹拌機中での流動性のある澱粉混合物の形成が遅れ、製造効率が低下する。しかも、加熱時間が長くなることで澱粉の黄変が観察される。 The amount of the low melting point additive added is preferably 0.1 to 10.0% by weight. If it is 0.1% by weight or less, the function as an adhesive is insufficient, and if it is 10% by weight or more, the raw material becomes sticky, the flow agitation property is lowered, and starch balls are formed. The formation of a fluid starch mixture in a high temperature stirrer is delayed, and the production efficiency is lowered. Moreover, yellowing of starch is observed as the heating time becomes longer.

(高温撹拌機による加熱撹拌処理)
(1)澱粉と低融点添加剤の加熱撹拌処理
加熱撹拌処理では、高温撹拌機中で澱粉と低融点添加剤を加熱撹拌することで、加熱混合するものであって、以下のように行う。
先ず、高温撹拌機1は高温撹拌機中に澱粉と、グリセリン系脂肪酸エステルなどの低融点添加剤を混合投入し、加熱撹拌する。
その加熱撹拌処理は、加熱温度を低融点添加剤の融点温度以上に設定し、低融点添加剤を溶融させ、低融点添加剤が溶融状態を維持できる温度、例えば、低融点添加剤の融点温度より10〜20℃高く設定、あるいは高融点添加剤の融点温度以上の温度に設定し、回転数及び撹拌時間を制御することで澱粉の粉体と溶融した低融点添加剤とが絡み、付着され低融点添加剤が付着され含有された澱粉の流動性の澱粉混合物が形成できるように、製造効率を考え、温度、回転数及び撹拌時間などを制御し、処理する。
(Heating and stirring with a high temperature stirrer)
(1) Heat-stirring treatment of starch and low-melting point additive In the heat-stirring treatment, starch and low-melting point additive are heated and mixed by heating and stirring in a high-temperature stirrer, and are carried out as follows.
First, the high-temperature stirrer 1 mixes and charges starch and a low-melting point additive such as a glycerin-based fatty acid ester into the high-temperature stirrer, and heats and stirs the mixture.
In the heating and stirring treatment, the heating temperature is set to be equal to or higher than the melting point temperature of the low melting point additive, the low melting point additive is melted, and the temperature at which the low melting point additive can maintain the molten state, for example, the melting point temperature of the low melting point additive. By setting the temperature higher than 10 to 20 ° C or higher than the melting point temperature of the high melting point additive and controlling the rotation speed and stirring time, the starch powder and the melted low melting point additive are entangled and adhered. The temperature, rotation speed, stirring time, etc. are controlled and processed in consideration of production efficiency so that a fluid starch mixture of the starch containing the low melting point additive can be formed.

加熱撹拌処理では、高温撹拌機を、例えば、加熱温度110〜160℃、回転数5〜50Hzに設定し、撹拌時間を制御して、低融点添加剤の成分を溶融状態にし、高温撹拌機中で澱粉と低融点添加剤を撹拌、混合する。この処理により澱粉に溶融した低融点添加剤を付着させ、含有し、低融点添加剤を含有した澱粉混合物を形成する。その際、澱粉に低融点添加材がくまなく絡めている状態となる。本発明の加熱撹拌処理では、製造時間、製造効率を考慮して温度は100℃以上とすることが好ましい。温度と時間の調整により澱粉が黄変するのを避けるようにすることが好ましい。また、黄変、製造効率に問題なく手早く均等に混ぜるため、撹拌状態、回転数及び剪断力などを調整して行なうことが好ましい。 In the heat stirring process, the high temperature stirrer is set to, for example, a heating temperature of 110 to 160 ° C. and a rotation speed of 5 to 50 Hz, and the stirring time is controlled to melt the components of the low melting point additive in the high temperature stirrer. Stir and mix the starch and low melting point additive in. By this treatment, a melted low melting point additive is attached to and contained in the starch to form a starch mixture containing the low melting point additive. At that time, the low melting point additive is entwined all over the starch. In the heat-stirring treatment of the present invention, the temperature is preferably 100 ° C. or higher in consideration of the production time and production efficiency. It is preferable to avoid yellowing of starch by adjusting the temperature and time. Further, in order to mix quickly and evenly without any problem of yellowing and production efficiency, it is preferable to adjust the stirring state, the number of rotations, the shearing force and the like.

(2)澱粉・樹脂複合材料の形成
高温撹拌機で撹拌澱粉と溶融した低融点添加剤の混合物とした後、熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体及び少なくとも1種以上の脂肪酸金属塩等の高融点添加剤をさらに添加し、加熱撹拌する。
(2) Formation of starch / resin composite material After making a mixture of starch and a molten low melting point additive with a high temperature stirrer, a high melting point additive such as a granular material of a thermoplastic resin and at least one fatty acid metal salt Is further added and heated and stirred.

本発明では、加熱撹拌時の温度を高融点添加剤が溶融する温度以上、熱可塑性樹脂の溶融温度以下に高温撹拌機の温度を設定、例えば、加熱撹拌温度として、当初から高融点添加剤の溶融温度以上に設定し、加熱温度を固定して行なうこともでき、例えば、110〜160℃に設定し、少なくとも2種類の、低融点及び高融点添加剤が溶融した状態にして撹拌混合する。そして低融点及び高融点添加剤が溶融した状態下、回転数及び撹拌時間を制御しつつ加熱撹拌することで、澱粉及び熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体と、溶融した低融点及び高融点添加剤とが撹拌混合され、均一に分散された流動性の澱粉・樹脂複合材料の混合物を形成する。 In the present invention, the temperature at the time of heating and stirring is set to be equal to or higher than the temperature at which the high melting point additive melts and below the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin. For example, the heating and stirring temperature is set to the temperature at which the high melting point additive is melted from the beginning. It can be set to a melting temperature or higher and the heating temperature is fixed. For example, it is set to 110 to 160 ° C., and at least two kinds of low melting point and high melting point additives are melted and mixed by stirring. Then, under the molten state of the low melting point and high melting point additives, by heating and stirring while controlling the rotation speed and the stirring time, the granules of starch and the thermoplastic resin and the melted low melting point and high melting point additives can be obtained. It is agitated and mixed to form a uniformly dispersed mixture of fluid starch / resin composite material.

(冷却撹拌機による冷却撹拌処理)
高温撹拌機中で得られた流動性の澱粉・樹脂複合材料の混合物は、冷却撹拌機に移され、低融点添加剤成分の溶融温度以上であって、その融点温度近傍まで冷却撹拌機中で撹拌しながら冷却され、主として溶融した高融点添加剤の添加剤成分が再固化されるように冷却撹拌する。
(Cooling and stirring treatment with a cooling stirrer)
The mixture of the fluid starch / resin composite material obtained in the high temperature stirrer is transferred to the cooling stirrer, and is kept above the melting temperature of the low melting point additive component in the cooling stirrer until near the melting point temperature. It is cooled with stirring, and is cooled and stirred so that the additive component of the melted high melting point additive is resolidified.

澱粉・樹脂複合材料は、冷却撹拌機中で冷却しながら撹拌することにより流動性の澱粉・樹脂複合材料の温度が低下し、少なくとも脂肪酸金属塩などの高融点添加剤成分が冷却され、溶融温度以下になることにより再固化するように冷却撹拌する。その際、流動性の澱粉・樹脂複合材料の混合物中の高融点添加剤が冷却撹拌されることにより熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体の表面に付着した状態に固化し、また流動性のある低融点添加剤を含有した澱粉が、再固化する少なくとも高融点添加剤を介して熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体に付着することにより、熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体をコア部とし、そのコア部の表面に少なくとも低融点添加剤を含有する澱粉を含む粉粒体の被覆層が形成され、図2aに示すように澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体となる。その澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体は、その断面を模式的に示すと図3に示す構造のものである。 By stirring the starch / resin composite material while cooling it in a cooling stirrer, the temperature of the fluid starch / resin composite material is lowered, and at least the refractory additive component such as a fatty acid metal salt is cooled, and the melting temperature is reached. Cool and stir so that it solidifies as follows. At that time, the high melting point additive in the mixture of the fluid starch / resin composite material is cooled and stirred to solidify in a state of being attached to the surface of the granular material of the thermoplastic resin, and the low melting point addition with fluidity is added. The starch containing the agent adheres to the granular material of the thermoplastic resin via at least the high melting point additive that resolidifies, so that the granular material of the thermoplastic resin becomes the core portion, and at least the low melting point is applied to the surface of the core portion. A coating layer of a powder or granular material containing starch containing an additive is formed, and as shown in FIG. 2a, a starch / resin composite intermediate particle is formed. The starch / resin composite intermediate granule has a structure shown in FIG. 3 when its cross section is schematically shown.

澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体は、性質や形状が異なる成分材料を原材料とする材料を、加熱混合して流動性の複合材料混合物とし、該混合物を撹拌しながら冷却し、流動性の複合材料混合物が温度の低下により、溶融した添加剤成分が溶融温度以下になることにより、固化するという、単純な操作により簡単に、撹拌製造工程への原材料の安定供給を可能にする、取り扱い性のよい澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体が造粒化し、形成されたものである。 In the starch / resin composite intermediate granules, materials made of component materials having different properties and shapes are heated and mixed to form a fluid composite material mixture, and the mixture is cooled with stirring to obtain a fluid composite material mixture. However, as the temperature drops, the molten additive component becomes solidified when it falls below the melting temperature, which is a simple operation that enables the stable supply of raw materials to the stirring manufacturing process. -The resin composite intermediate granules are granulated and formed.

本発明では、従来、成形加工材料の製造に際し、性状や形状が異なる成分の原材料を、それぞれ、製造工程に個別又はバッチで供給していたのを、取り扱い性のよい複合中間粒体という複合形態の原材料として成形加工材料の製造工程に投入できるようになり、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の製造において原材料の安定供給及び定量化を可能にすることができる。 In the present invention, in the production of a molded material, raw materials having components having different properties and shapes are conventionally supplied to the production process individually or in batches, which is a composite form called a composite intermediate granule with good handleability. It becomes possible to put it into the manufacturing process of the molding processed material as a raw material of the above, and it is possible to stably supply and quantify the raw material in the manufacturing of the starch / resin composite molding processed material.

冷却撹拌操作による造粒工程は、温度、回転数及び撹拌時間などを制御し、添加剤成分を再固化することにより熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体の表面に澱粉を含む粉粒体の被覆層が形成される状態を確認しながら、最適温度下に冷却撹拌することで造粒化し、形成された粒体の形態、形状を維持し取り出すことが可能になる。 In the granulation process by cooling and stirring operation, the temperature, rotation speed, stirring time, etc. are controlled, and the additive component is resolidified to form a coating layer of powder or granular material containing starch on the surface of the granular material of the thermoplastic resin. By cooling and stirring at an optimum temperature while confirming the state of being formed, it becomes possible to granulate, maintain the shape and shape of the formed granules, and take them out.

本発明は、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を、造粒された粒体の外観をみながら、外観の仕上がりのよい状態を確認でき、低融点添加剤成分の固化が進まない温度域で冷却撹拌機から排出してストックタンク中に落下させ、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体形状の中間原料として取
り出され、ストックされる。これにより、粉落ちのほとんどない、形態安定性の優れた澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を得ることができる。
In the present invention, the starch / resin composite intermediate granules can be confirmed to have a good appearance while observing the appearance of the granulated granules, and the low melting point additive component is cooled and stirred in a temperature range where solidification does not proceed. It is discharged from the machine, dropped into a stock tank, taken out as an intermediate raw material in the form of a starch / resin composite intermediate particle, and stocked. As a result, it is possible to obtain a starch-resin composite intermediate granule having excellent morphological stability with almost no powder falling off.

複合中間粒体の形成状況を温度、回転数及び撹拌時間などを制御し、添加剤の成分を再固化することにより熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体の表面に澱粉を含む粉粒体の被覆層が形成される状態を観察し、確認することにより、形成された粒体の形態、形状を維持し、粉落ちのほとんどない、形態安定性の優れた澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を得ることができる。 By controlling the formation status of the composite intermediate particles such as temperature, rotation speed, stirring time, etc. and resolidifying the components of the additive, a coating layer of the powder or granular material containing starch is formed on the surface of the granular material of the thermoplastic resin. By observing and confirming the state of being formed, it is possible to obtain a starch / resin composite intermediate granule having excellent morphological stability while maintaining the morphology and shape of the formed granules and having almost no powder falling off.

複合中間粒体の形成に過程で低融点添加剤と高融点添加剤の添加量が少ない場合、澱粉と熱可塑性樹脂の粒状体との親和性が低下するためか澱粉が付着して被膜層ができず、粉状のままあるいは被覆層からの澱粉の脱落が生じ、複合中間粒体と粉状体との混合物(図2b参照)となり、押出ができなかった。また、複合中間粒体を低融点添加剤の溶融温度より十分に高い温度で排出すると、表面被覆層の粉粒体が流動変形し得るため、落下時の衝撃で粒体の形状、形態が変形し、型崩れを生じ、かつ粒体が塊状になり、流動安定性が低下する。 If the amount of low melting point additive and high melting point additive added is small in the process of forming the composite intermediate granules, the starch adheres to the coating layer, probably because the affinity between the starch and the granular material of the thermoplastic resin decreases. It could not be extruded because it remained in powder form or starch was shed from the coating layer, resulting in a mixture of composite intermediate particles and powder (see FIG. 2b). Further, when the composite intermediate particles are discharged at a temperature sufficiently higher than the melting temperature of the low melting point additive, the powder particles of the surface coating layer may be fluidly deformed, so that the shape and shape of the particles are deformed by the impact at the time of dropping. However, it loses its shape and the granules become lumpy, resulting in reduced flow stability.

この加熱、冷却撹拌工程により澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を製造する方法は、バッチ式で製造することもできる。一方、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の製造は、成分材料を複合中間粒体という形態の原材料として連続的に混練し押し出することを可能にするので、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体の製造方法において、複合中間粒体をストックタンクに排出する工程は、複合中間粒体製造工程を澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の製造方法に組み入れるバッファとなり、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料を連続的に一貫して製造することを可能にする。 The method for producing the starch / resin composite intermediate granules by this heating / cooling / stirring step can also be produced in a batch system. On the other hand, the production of the starch / resin composite molding processed material enables the component material to be continuously kneaded and extruded as a raw material in the form of a composite intermediate granule, and therefore, in the method for producing a starch / resin composite intermediate granule. , The process of discharging the composite intermediate granules to the stock tank serves as a buffer for incorporating the composite intermediate granule manufacturing process into the manufacturing method of the starch / resin composite molded material, and continuously and consistently the starch / resin composite molded material. Makes it possible to manufacture.

本発明は、粉落ちのない、形態安定性のよい澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を原材料とする成形加工材料を製造するものであり、品質にバラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形材料を安定的に得ることができる。そして、均一で均質な澱粉・樹脂複合材料として安定的に安価に調製することが可能になり、バイオマス複合材料を安定的に提供することができる。 The present invention is for producing a molding processing material using a starch / resin composite intermediate granule as a raw material, which does not cause powder to fall off and has good morphological stability, and stably produces a starch / resin composite molding material with little variation in quality. Obtainable. Then, it becomes possible to stably and inexpensively prepare a uniform and homogeneous starch / resin composite material, and it is possible to stably provide a biomass composite material.

(澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の製造)

(Manufacturing of starch / resin composite molding processing material)
The starch / resin composite molding processing material of the present invention is produced by producing the above-mentioned starch / resin composite intermediate granules, and using the starch / resin composite material of an aggregate in which each component material coexists as a raw material. In order to produce a starch / resin composite molding process material that can be applied to various molding methods using starch / resin composite intermediate particles as a raw material, the step of producing the starch / resin composite intermediate particles is performed by the starch / resin composite molding process. It will be a production line that can be stocked as an intermediate raw material for starch / resin composite molding processing materials by incorporating it into the manufacturing process of the material, or it will be a composite intermediate separately from the manufacturing process of the starch / resin composite molding processing material. By providing it as a production line for granules, stable supply of starch / resin composite intermediate granules as raw materials realizes stable supply of raw materials with different properties and shapes, and starch / resin composite molding processing with little variation. It is a material that can be continuously supplied.

製造された澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、さらに、シート状又はフィルム状に成形されたり、ブロー成形されたり、あるいは真空成形され、最終製品の成形加工材料として利用することもできる。 The produced starch / resin composite molding material can be further molded into a sheet or film, blow-molded, or vacuum-formed, and can be used as a molding material for a final product.

具体的には、本発明のストックされた、熱可塑性樹脂をコア部とし、その外側に低融点添加剤を含有する澱粉の粉粒体の被覆層で覆われた構造を有する澱粉・樹脂複合材料の均一な粒体として存在する澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体から、各種成形加工法に用いることができる澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料を製造するため、通常のプラスチックの成形加工技術のように、例えば、ヘンシエルミキサー、タンブラー型混合機、バーバリミキサー、ニーダーミキサーなどの混合機により澱粉や添加剤等を混合する必要なく、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を直接二軸押出機に投入、供給するだけで、通常のプラスチック成形加工と同様に回転数、撹拌時間及び温度などの制御を行い、加熱混練することにより澱粉と熱可塑性樹脂を均一に混練、混合することができる。 Specifically, a starch-resin composite material having a structure in which the stocked thermoplastic resin of the present invention is used as a core portion and the outside thereof is covered with a coating layer of a powder or granular material of starch containing a low melting point additive. In order to produce a starch / resin composite molding processing material that can be used in various molding processing methods from the starch / resin composite intermediate granules existing as uniform particles of, for example, as in ordinary plastic molding processing technology, for example. , Hensiel mixer, tumbler type mixer, barbary mixer, kneader mixer, etc., without the need to mix starch and additives, just put the starch / resin composite intermediate granules directly into the twin-screw extruder and supply them. Therefore, the starch and the thermoplastic resin can be uniformly kneaded and mixed by controlling the rotation speed, stirring time, temperature, and the like in the same manner as in the normal plastic molding process and heating and kneading.

澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を二軸押出機中で加熱混練する処理に際し、加熱加工温度(シリンダ温度)を100℃〜190℃、熱可塑性樹脂が溶融する温度以下の温度、添加剤の融点以上の温度に設定し、加熱混練する。それにより澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を流動性の澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料を形成する前段階として、剪断と温度上昇を抑えつつ、安定した材料の定量送り及び材料を十分に撹拌混練することができる。これにより、材料の劣化、退色させずに均一に混練することができ、均一で均質なバラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料とすることができる。 When the starch / resin composite intermediate granules are heated and kneaded in a twin-screw extruder, the heat processing temperature (cylinder temperature) is 100 ° C to 190 ° C, the temperature is below the temperature at which the thermoplastic resin melts, and above the melting point of the additive. Set to the temperature of and heat and knead. As a preparatory step for forming a fluid starch / resin composite molding process material from the starch / resin composite intermediate granules, stable fixed quantity feeding of the material and sufficient stirring and kneading of the material while suppressing shearing and temperature rise are performed. Can be done. As a result, the material can be kneaded uniformly without deterioration or fading, and a starch / resin composite molded material that is uniform and has little variation can be obtained.

本発明では、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を十分な加熱混練の後、プラスチックの溶融押出工程と同様、流動性のある澱粉・樹脂複合材料を一軸押出機により熱可塑性樹脂の溶融温度以上、150〜220℃に温度設定し、押出圧力を適宜設定し、熱可塑性樹脂を溶融押出することにより安定した押出温度、押出圧力下で、均一で均質なバラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料を得ることができる。 In the present invention, after the starch / resin composite intermediate granules are sufficiently heated and kneaded, the fluid starch / resin composite material is extruded by a uniaxial extruder at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin, 150 as in the melt extrusion step of plastics. By setting the temperature to ~ 220 ° C., setting the extrusion pressure appropriately, and melt-extruding the thermoplastic resin, a uniform and uniform starch / resin composite molding material with little variation can be obtained under a stable extrusion temperature and extrusion pressure. be able to.

押出に際し、押出機による成形品の製造、Tダイ押出機によるシートの製造、インフレーション成形機によるフィルムの製造、カレンダ成形機によるシートの製造、インジェクション成形機による成形品の製造などの成形加工技術及び成形加工機が採用でき、各種成形加工法に適した優れた成形加工性を備えた澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料が得られる。 For extrusion, molding technology such as manufacturing of molded products by an extruder, sheet manufacturing by a T-die extruder, film manufacturing by an inflation molding machine, sheet manufacturing by a calender molding machine, and molding by an injection molding machine. A molding machine can be adopted, and a starch / resin composite molding material having excellent molding processability suitable for various molding methods can be obtained.

本発明では、澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を原材料とし、Tダイスを用い、150〜220℃に温度設定し、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料をシート状物として押出し、シート状成形加工材料を得ることができる。成形温度が220℃を越えた場合は、ヤケの発生や分解の発生が起きる。著しい場合は、茶色又は黒色に変色し、シリンダ内の焼き付きにより成形機を損傷する。また、150℃未満の成形温度域では澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料が未溶融状態で吐出され、好ましくない。著しい場合は、シリンダとスクリュー間の剪断力が高まり、圧力上昇とともに、トラブルの原因となる。 In the present invention, a starch / resin composite intermediate granule is used as a raw material, a temperature is set to 150 to 220 ° C. using a T die, and the starch / resin composite molding material is extruded as a sheet to obtain a sheet molding material. be able to. If the molding temperature exceeds 220 ° C., discoloration or decomposition occurs. In significant cases, the color changes to brown or black, and seizure in the cylinder damages the molding machine. Further, in the molding temperature range of less than 150 ° C., the starch / resin composite molding processing material is discharged in an unmelted state, which is not preferable. In a remarkable case, the shearing force between the cylinder and the screw increases, which causes a trouble as well as an increase in pressure.

押出機によりシート状に押し出し成形した澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料シートは、押し出された後、直ちに、引取りロールの温度を60℃以下に設定し、所定の厚さに成形したシートを冷却し、原反シートとして引取り、巻き取られるか、あるいは、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の原反シートをロールに冷却機能を持たせてロール表面を冷却して行なう三本圧延ロールの間を通過させ、圧延ロールによりシート化しつつ冷却して厚み0.1〜2.0mmの澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工シートを得、各種成形加工法の原材料シートとして又は該シートを粉砕又はカットして粒状体を得ることによりインジェクション成形、インフレーション成形、ブロー成形に適した原材料ペレットの成形加工材料とすることができる。 The starch / resin composite molded material sheet extruded into a sheet by an extruder is extruded, and immediately after being extruded, the temperature of the take-up roll is set to 60 ° C. or lower, and the sheet formed to a predetermined thickness is cooled. , It is taken up as a raw sheet and wound up, or the raw sheet of a starch / resin composite molding process material is passed between three rolling rolls which are made by giving a cooling function to the roll and cooling the roll surface. Then, the sheet is formed into a sheet by a rolling roll and cooled to obtain a starch / resin composite molded sheet having a thickness of 0.1 to 2.0 mm, which is used as a raw material sheet for various molding methods or the sheet is crushed or cut to form granules. By obtaining it, it can be used as a molding processing material for raw material pellets suitable for injection molding, inflation molding, and blow molding.

本発明において、シート状物の澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料原反ロールを圧延ロールにより厚みを制御された、表面スキン層を形成した成形加工材料シートとするため、あるいは表面スキン層のない成形加工材料シートとするため、冷却はロールに冷却機能を持たせてその表面を冷却して行なう三本圧延ロールの間を通過させ、厚さと表面スキン層の有無及び厚みを制御し、さらにシート表面温度の温度制御をすることにより所望の成形加工材料シート又は粉砕又はカット可能な成形加工材料シートとすることができる。また、圧延ロールによってシートに成形することで、澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料シートの厚さが均一になり、均質なペレットとすることができる。加えて圧延ロールの作用によってシートの表裏に平滑なスキン層を形成することにより、ペレット化後の水分吸収を減じた材料ができる。 In the present invention, in order to make a sheet-like starch / resin composite molding material raw fabric sheet into a molding material sheet having a surface skin layer whose thickness is controlled by a rolling roll, or molding without a surface skin layer. In order to make a material sheet, cooling is performed by giving the roll a cooling function and passing it between three rolling rolls that cool the surface, control the thickness and the presence / absence and thickness of the surface skin layer, and further control the sheet surface temperature. By controlling the temperature of the above, a desired molded material sheet or a molded material sheet that can be crushed or cut can be obtained. Further, by molding into a sheet by a rolling roll, the thickness of the starch / resin composite molding processing material sheet becomes uniform, and uniform pellets can be obtained. In addition, by forming a smooth skin layer on the front and back of the sheet by the action of the rolling roll, a material with reduced water absorption after pelletization can be obtained.

We also evaluated whether the container could be molded with an injection molding machine.
Table 1 shows the composition of the raw materials and the evaluation results of the produced composite intermediate particles and the composite molded material.

表1に示すとおり、実施例1ないし実施例3の澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体及びその複合中間粒体を原材料として溶融押出して製造された澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、各実施例の材料の1ロッドの中で上記試験法により測定した平均引張伸度が36〜160%、平均比重が1.08〜1.21の範囲の複合成形材料であって、実施例毎の引張伸度の測定値のバラツキは、実施例1〜3、それぞれ、34〜39%、73〜77%及び148〜164%の変動幅を有するものであり、変動幅が大きくても±7%以内、比重の測定値は、±0と変動幅がなく、バラツキの少ない優れた物性を有するものである。その製造した材料を用いた各成形加工法による成形加工性についても、シート化、及び容器の真空成形もでき、深絞りも可能な材料であり、各成形加工法による成形加工性も有するものであった。 As shown in Table 1, the starch / resin composite intermediate granules of Examples 1 to 3 and the starch / resin composite molding processed material produced by melt-extrusion using the composite intermediate granules as raw materials are the materials of each example. A composite molding material having an average tensile elongation of 36 to 160% and an average specific gravity in the range of 1.08 to 1.21 measured by the above test method in one rod of the above, and having a tensile elongation of each example. The variation of the measured values has fluctuation ranges of 34 to 39%, 73 to 77%, and 148 to 164%, respectively, in Examples 1 to 3, and even if the fluctuation range is large, it is within ± 7% and the specific gravity.

Regarding the molding processability by each molding method using the manufactured material, it is a material that can be made into a sheet and vacuum formed in a container, and can be deep-drawn, and has the molding processability by each molding method. there were.

これに対し、比較例に示したとおり複合中間粒体を経ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料

On the other hand, as shown in the comparative example, the starch / resin composite molded material that does not pass through the composite intermediate granules can be formed into a sheet, but cannot be molded, or the material is not slippery and cannot be extruded, or the composite intermediate granules.

Mechanical properties such as tensile elongation deteriorate or the machine The physical characteristics are poor, or the specific gravity varies, and it is not stable. Further, in terms of molding processability, even if the sheet can be formed, the sheet surface is sticky, or the material is powdery or lumpy and cannot be molded. Moreover, the container could not be molded.

本発明の澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を製造した後、該複合中間粒体を原材料とした澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の方が優れた物性、性状及び成形加工性などバラツキの少ない澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料が得られることが明らかとなった。 After producing the starch / resin composite intermediate granules of the present invention, the starch / resin composite molding processed material using the composite intermediate granules as a raw material has superior physical properties, properties, and molding processability, and the starch / resin has less variation. It was clarified that a composite molding processed material can be obtained.

実施例、比較例は、表1のとおりの配合組成の澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の組成物とした。実施例2で用いた澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料の配合組成のうち、実施例4、5では、主としてモノグリセリッドの配合量を、0.1重量%;10.0重量%に大幅に変更、実施例6、7では、ステアリン酸亜鉛及びステアリン酸マグネシウムの配合量をそれぞれ、0.5、0.5;5.0、10.0重量%に大幅に変更して各添加剤の造粒化、成形加工性への影響について確認した。 In Examples and Comparative Examples, the composition of the starch / resin composite molded material having the composition as shown in Table 1 was used. Of the blending composition of the starch / resin composite molding processing material used in Example 2, in Examples 4 and 5, the blending amount of mainly monoglyceride was significantly changed to 0.1% by weight; 10.0% by weight. In Examples 6 and 7, the blending amounts of zinc stearate and magnesium stearate were significantly changed to 0.5, 0.5; 5.0 and 10.0% by weight, respectively, to granulate each additive. The effects on the conversion and molding processability were confirmed.

製造された澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料から実施例1と同様の方法で、ペレット、シートを製造するとともに、そのシートを真空圧空成形で実施例1と同じ寸法の容器に成形し、実施例1と同様に成形加工性の評価をした。また、引張伸度、比重について、上記で説明した測定法に従い測定し、評価した。さらに、比較例として、澱粉とポリプロピレンの配合量、モノグリセリッドの配合量及びステアリン酸金属石鹸の配合量をそれぞれ変更し、表1に示すように形成された成形品を評価しつつ、添加する量の範囲を広げ、組成物を調製し、同様の測定を行ない評価した。
その結果を表1に示す。
Pellets and sheets are produced from the produced starch / resin composite molding processing material by the same method as in Example 1, and the sheets are formed into a container having the same dimensions as in Example 1 by vacuum pressure air molding. The molding processability was evaluated in the same manner as in the above. In addition, the tensile elongation and specific gravity were measured and evaluated according to the measuring method described above. Further, as a comparative example, the blending amount of starch and polypropylene, the blending amount of monoglyceride, and the blending amount of metal stearate soap are changed, respectively, and the molded product formed as shown in Table 1 is evaluated and added. The range of amounts was expanded, compositions were prepared, and similar measurements were made for evaluation.
The results are shown in Table 1.

実施例と比較例を比較して分かるように低融点添加剤のモノグリセリッド、高融点添加剤のステアリン酸亜鉛、ステアリン酸マグネシウムを添加する量によって造粒化できる場合とできない場合が生じることが分かる。さらに、添加量により、シート化及びその容器の成形加工性が期待できない場合とできる場合があることが分かる。 As can be seen by comparing Examples and Comparative Examples, granulation may or may not be possible depending on the amount of the low melting point additive monoglyceride, the high melting point additive zinc stearate, and magnesium stearate. I understand. Further, it can be seen that depending on the amount of addition, there are cases where sheet formation and molding processability of the container cannot be expected, and cases where it can be achieved.

T−ダイ押出機によるシート成形などが発明の効果であり、添加剤の添加量の増加により成形加工性が阻害されていることが分かる。 It can be seen that sheet molding by a T-die extruder is an effect of the invention, and molding processability is hindered by an increase in the amount of additives added.

実施例と比較例によれば、本発明の複合成形加工材料は、T−ダイ押出機によるシート成形など各種成形加工法による成形加工が可能であり、成形加工性において優位性がある。 According to Examples and Comparative Examples, the composite molding material of the present invention can be molded by various molding methods such as sheet molding by a T-die extruder, and has an advantage in molding processability.

本発明の澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を原材料とした澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、均一、均質な物性等にバラツキの少ない優れたものが得られる。従来法や極端な成分組成を用いた澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は同じ成分系であっても、表1にまとめたとおり中間体が形成できない、比重が安定しない、澱粉が舞ってしまうあるいは押出時、滑性がないため圧力が掛かりすぎシート化できない、シート化した際ブリードが激しくべたつく、又は中間粒体同士がくっつき、粒体が大きくなりすぎ、成形機に供給できないなど成形加工性が阻害されることが確認され、本発明の中間粒体を形成した澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料が優れた物性、性状を有することが確認できた。 The starch / resin composite molding processed material using the starch / resin composite intermediate granules of the present invention as a raw material can be obtained as an excellent material having uniform and homogeneous physical properties with little variation. Even if the starch / resin composite molding material using the conventional method or extreme component composition has the same component system, as shown in Table 1, intermediates cannot be formed, the specific gravity is not stable, starch flies or is extruded. At times, because there is no slipperiness, too much pressure is applied to form a sheet, the bleeding becomes extremely sticky when the sheet is formed, or intermediate grains stick to each other, the grains become too large, and the molding processability is hindered. It was confirmed that the starch / resin composite molded material on which the intermediate granules of the present invention were formed had excellent physical properties and properties.

本発明の澱粉・樹脂複合中間粒体を介した澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料は、従来の石油系プラスチックに代替し得るバイオマス材料由来の、押出機による成形品の製造、Tダイ押出機によるシートの製造、インフレーション成形機によるフィルムの製造、カレンダ成形機によるシートの製造、インジェクション成形機による成形品の製造などの各種成形加工技術及び成形加工機の材料に採用でき、広範な成形加工技術で利用できる澱粉・樹脂複合成形加工材料として有用である。 The starch / resin composite molding processed material via the starch / resin composite intermediate granules of the present invention is derived from a biomass material that can replace conventional petroleum-based plastics, and is produced by an extruder and a sheet by a T-die extruder. It can be used in various molding processing technologies such as manufacturing, film manufacturing by inflation molding machine, sheet manufacturing by calender molding machine, molding product manufacturing by injection molding machine, and material of molding machine, and is used in a wide range of molding processing technology. It is useful as a possible starch / resin composite molding processing material.
