Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biodegradable foaming materials, and particularly relates to an environment-friendly starch-based foaming material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The polymer foam material has great market in the fields of packaging, transportation and heat preservation due to good heat preservation performance and buffering performance. The traditional foaming material is mostly prepared from general plastics such as polyolefin and the like, but the traditional foaming material is not degradable, so that the environment can be seriously polluted after being discarded. Therefore, the preparation of the environment-friendly foaming material by using the biodegradable material is very important. The starch as a natural polymer material has the advantages of low cost, renewable utilization, complete degradability and the like. The preparation of the foaming material by using the starch can slow down white pollution caused by general plastic, accords with the current environmental protection and sustainable idea, and is widely concerned. However, the comprehensive performance and water resistance of the existing thermoplastic starch foaming material are poor, so that the large-scale market application of the thermoplastic starch foaming material is limited. Therefore, the starch-based foaming material with excellent barrier property and water resistance is prepared by adding the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) with excellent barrier property and water resistance, and the application range of the starch-based foaming material can be remarkably improved.
In the prior art, the chinese patent application No. 201610971285.2, entitled "starch-foamed disposable tableware", discloses a method for preparing a starch-based foamed material by using modified corn starch, wood pulp fiber, modified chaff and the like, which conforms to the strategy of environmental protection and sustainable development compared with the traditional disposable foamed material, but the overall water resistance is not ideal from the formula analysis, and the disposable tableware is difficult to popularize as the disposable tableware application, and the molding process has poor stability for starch-based foaming. The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201710015666.8, namely 'starch foaming product and preparation method thereof', discloses a preparation method of starch or modified starch and a starch foaming material containing a nucleating agent, wherein the preparation process of the foaming material is twin-screw extrusion foaming, the preparation is simple and convenient, but the prepared starch foaming material has serious water absorbability and is not beneficial to practical application. The Chinese patent application with the application number of 201710309478.6, namely 'fully biodegradable fiber-reinforced starch foaming tableware and a preparation method thereof' and the Chinese patent application with the application number of 201610650903.3, namely 'starch foaming formula and a foaming method thereof', disclose two preparation methods for blending and modifying thermoplastic starch by using other biodegradable high polymer materials, so that the cost of raw materials is greatly increased, but the comprehensive properties such as compatibility, water resistance, cost performance, processing technology and the like among the components of the composite material need to be improved.
In China, the yield of starch crops is huge, and the preparation of the starch-based foaming material by taking starch as a base material is an effective way for improving the non-edible value of starch, reducing the cost and reducing the environmental pollution. However, the starch-based foaming material with excellent mechanical property, good water resistance and simple preparation process is lacked in the field. Therefore, a high polymer material with excellent water resistance and good starch compatibility is urgently needed to be found, the processing technology of the starch-based foaming material is further improved, the mechanical property and the water resistance of the foaming material are improved, and the comprehensive performance of the foaming material is improved while the cost is ensured to be low.

At room temperature, a microcomputer controlled electronic universal tester is used for testing the tensile property and the compression speedThe rate was 2 mm/min. Compressive strength sigmam(KPa) is calculated using the following formula:
in the formula: fmMaximum compressive force (KN); s0Is the initial area (mm) of the cross section of the sample2). At least five sample strips are selected for each group of samples to be tested, and the average value is taken. The test results are shown in table 1.
Water absorption test: the samples were first dried at 40 ℃ for 24 h, sealed and cooled for 24 h, and weighed. They were then placed in distilled water at room temperature. After a specific immersion period, the samples were removed from the water, drained with a dry cloth or lightly wiped to remove water from the sample surface and weighed. The water absorption was calculated using equation (2).
In the formula: m0Mass (g) before water absorption; mtThe mass (g) after water absorption.
The experimental data of comparative examples 1-2 show that the foaming effect is greatly improved after the addition of EVOH, the foaming ratio of example 2 is improved by about 481.8% compared with example 1, analysis on mechanical properties shows that after the addition of EVOH, the strength parameter of the foamed material is obviously reduced, the toughness parameter is obviously increased, analysis on water resistance shows that after the addition of EVOH, the water resistance is obviously improved, the sample of example 1 is pasty and cannot be weighed after being taken out after being placed in water for 10 min, and the sample of example 2 is taken out, weighed and calculated after being placed in water for 10 min, so that the water absorption of the sample is 39.8%. The experimental data comparing example 1 with comparative examples 1 to 3 show that the conditioning time of the pellets, i.e., the water content of the foaming agent, has a large influence on the foaming effect. Compared with comparative examples 1-3, the foaming effect of example 1 is obviously improved, the humidity control time is long, the foaming ratio is low on the contrary because the foaming agent has too high water content and is collapsed in the injection foaming process, and the humidity control effect of 12 min under the conditions of 50 ℃ and 80% of relative humidity is the best. Compared with comparative examples 4-5, the foaming effect of example 1 is obviously improved, which shows that the influence of the glycerol content on the foaming effect is larger under the same humidity control time, and when the glycerol content is too high, because the melt fluidity is too high, the collapse phenomenon is easy to occur in the injection foaming process, so that some mechanical properties are higher than those of example 1, wherein when the glycerol content is 40%, the foaming effect is optimal. The expansion ratios of example 2 were increased by about 92.2% and 137.8% as compared with those of comparative examples 6 to 7, respectively, indicating that the best expansion effect was obtained when the EVOH content was 10%. From the analysis of mechanical properties, when 10% of EVOH is added, compared with comparative examples 6-7, the strength parameter is similar, and the toughness parameter is higher.
