FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a cellulose composite membrane provided in the examples of this application. Explanation of reference signs: 10 cellulose composite film; 11 cellulose film; 12 primer layer; 13 barrier layer.


In related technologies, polyethylene terephthalate (polyethylene glycol terephthalate, PET), polyvinyl chloride (polyvinyl chloride, PVC), etc. are often used as packaging materials to meet the packaging visualization needs of refrigerated foods. However, these materials are difficult to degrade and will cause great harm to the environment after entering the environment.


As mentioned in the background technology, in order to meet the visualization needs of product packaging in a refrigerated environment, non-degradable materials such as PET and PVC are mostly used as packaging materials. If product packaging is discarded at will, it will cause great pollution to the environment after entering the environment.


Related technologies also relate to product packaging using degradable materials, such as cellulose films, as packaging materials to improve the environmental performance of product packaging. However, the barrier performance and heat-sealing performance of product packaging boxes made of packaging materials represented by cellulose film are not ideal, and it is difficult to meet the needs of visualization and preservation of product packaging in a refrigerated environment.


In view of this, the present disclosure provides a cellulose composite membrane and a preparation method thereof after deep thinking and a large number of experiments.


The first aspect of the present disclosure provides a cellulose composite film, including: a cellulose film; a primer layer, located on the surface of the cellulose film; a barrier layer, located on the surface of the primer layer; where the cellulose film is selected from self-regenerating cellulose film; the primer layer includes polyurethane film-forming resin; the barrier layer is polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coating including anti-fogging agent.


The present disclosure does not limit the type of cellulose film, which can be a commonly used, degradable regenerated cellulose film in the art, and those skilled in the art can choose voluntarily according to the needs of product packaging. The regenerated cellulose film has good plasticity and suitable strength, and it is easy to form a firm integrated structure with the primer and the barrier layer. Thus, the composite cellulose film of the present disclosure can have good processability.


The present disclosure does not limit the type of primer layer. The primer layer can be a primer layer that contains polyurethane film-forming resin with good adhesion to both the cellulose film and the barrier layer. Those skilled in the art can choose according to their needs. As an example, the primer layer can be the primer selected by those skilled in the art based on the use of the cellulose composite film. For example, when the cellulose composite film is used to prepare a food packaging box, the primer layer can be a food packaging-specific polyurethane adhesive. The primer layer containing the polyurethane film-forming resin has good compatibility with the cellulose film and the barrier layer, thus, the structural stability of the cellulose composite film can be further improved, thereby improving the product packaging using the cellulose composite film barrier properties.


In the present disclosure, the barrier layer can be a PVDC coating selected according to the application of the cellulose composite film. The present disclosure does not limit the type of antifogging agent in the barrier layer, which can be selected from low molecular weight dispersants containing hydrophilic groups, for example, can be selected from xylitol esters, sorbitol monopalmitate, lauric acid, glyceryl stearate, glycerol esters, polyglycerol esters, etc. Chlorine atoms in PVDC molecules are hydrophobic and will not form hydrogen bonds. Oxygen molecules and water molecules are difficult to move in PVDC molecules, so that it has excellent oxygen resistance and moisture resistance, and its oxygen resistance is not affected by the surrounding environment. The effect of humidity. That is to say, under any temperature or humidity conditions, the PVDC coating can fully block water vapor, oxygen and odor, thereby improving the barrier performance of the cellulose composite film. In addition, PVDC has good weather resistance, and when the anti-fog agent is wrapped in the PVDC coating, it can have high stability, so that the barrier layer has long-term stable anti-fog performance. Furthermore, the PVDC coating also has good heat-sealing performance, which can make the cellulose composite film have high heat-sealing strength, thereby improving the processability of the cellulose composite film.


In the present disclosure, the cellulose film includes two surfaces in the thickness direction. The primer layer can be located on both surfaces of the cellulose film, and the surface of the primer is provided with a barrier layer. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an example of the cellulose composite membrane of the present application. The cellulose composite film 10 includes a cellulose film 11, a primer layer 12, and a barrier layer 13. The primer layer 12 is located on both surfaces of the cellulose film 11, and the barrier layer 13 is located on the surface of the primer layer 12.


Not intended to be limited by any theory or explanation, the cellulose film composite membrane of the present application uses regenerated cellulose film as the base film, the regenerated cellulose film is degradable, and it is not easy to pollute the environment when it enters the environment. Therefore, the fiber of the present disclosure, the plain composite film has excellent environmental performance. In addition, compared with the cellulose film, the barrier layer has higher heat-sealing strength and better barrier performance. Thus, when the cellulose composite film of the present application is applied to product packaging, it can prolong the shelf life of the product. In the cellulose composite film of the present application, the primer layer bonds the cellulose film and the barrier layer into an integrated structure, and the barrier layer includes an antifogging agent, so that the hydrophilic group in the antifogging agent can absorb the air in the air. The water molecules wet and diffuse on the surface of the barrier layer to form an ultra-thin transparent water film, thereby reducing the risk of water molecules in the air aggregating into water droplets and then forming water mist. Thus, when the cellulose composite film of the present application is applied to the packaging of refrigerated foods, it can prevent the moisture from forming mist on the inner or outer walls of the package due to the rapid temperature difference between cold and heat when the food is taken out of the refrigerated device or put into the refrigerated device. In this way, the visualization needs of related product packaging can be met.


In some examples, the barrier layer may include the following raw material components: 100 parts by weight of PVDC monomers, 1.5 to 3 parts by weight of emulsifiers, 0.2 to 0.6 parts by weight of initiators, 0.05 to 0.2 parts by weight of buffering agent, 3 to 5 parts by weight of anti-fogging agent and 1.5 to 2.5 parts by weight of anti-sticking agent; wherein, based on the total mass of the monomer, the monomer includes 85 wt %˜92 wt % of vinylidene chloride, 7 wt %˜9.5 wt % methyl acrylate and 0.5 wt %˜6 wt % acrylic acid.

Thus, when the cellulose composite film prepared according to the method of the present application is applied to product packaging, the shelf life of the product can be extended. In the cellulose composite film prepared according to the method of the present application, the primer layer bonds the cellulose film and the barrier layer into an integrated structure, the barrier layer includes an antifogging agent, and the cellulose composite film can pass through the antifogging agent. The hydrophilic group adsorbs water molecules in the air, and wets and diffuses on the surface of the barrier layer to form an ultra-thin transparent water film, thereby reducing the possibility of water molecules in the air aggregating into fine water droplets and then forming water mist. risk. Thus, when the cellulose composite film prepared according to the method of the present application is applied to the packaging of refrigerated food, it can reduce the formation of water mist on the inner or outer wall of the package due to the rapid temperature difference between cold and heat when the food is taken out of the refrigerator or put into the refrigerator, so as to meet the visualization needs of related product packaging.


In some examples, the preparation method may further include: 100 parts by weight of PVDC monomers, 1.5 to 3 parts by weight of emulsifiers, 0.2 to 0.6 parts by weight of initiators, 0.05 to 0.2 parts by weight of buffers, 3 parts by weight ˜5 parts by weight of antifogging agent and 1.5˜2.5 parts by weight of anti-sticking agent are mixed to form a barrier coating.

PVDC has a suitable molecular structure, such as suitable chlorine atom content, suitable cyano group content, suitable molecular weight, etc., which can make PVDC coatings have good barrier performance, heat sealing performance and weather resistance. PVDC has good compatibility with anti-fogging agent, which can make anti-fogging agent wrapped in PVDC coating, so that the anti-fogging agent has high stability, and then makes the cellulose composite film have long-term stable anti-fogging performance. Thus, the cellulose composite film prepared according to the method of the present application can have good barrier performance, heat sealing performance, processability and anti-fog performance, and can be applied to product packaging, which can make the product packaging have excellent comprehensive performance and meet the visualization needs under refrigerated conditions.


In some examples, in the above step of preparing the barrier coating, each component can satisfy at least one of the following (1) to (5).

    • (1) The emulsifier is selected from the emulsifier mixed with sodium secondary alkane sulfonate and dodecylphenol polyoxyethylene ether in a mass ratio of 2:1˜3:1.
    • (2) The initiator is selected from the initiator mixed with potassium persulfate and sodium bisulfite in a mass ratio of 1:1˜2:1.
    • (3) The buffers are Na2HPO4 and NaH2PO4.
    • (4) The antifogging agent is selected from one or more of glyceryl stearate, xylitol ester, lauric acid or sorbitol monopalmitate.
    • (5) The release agent is at least one selected from silicone or organic wax. As an example, the release agent may be at least one of silicic acid sol or carnauba wax.


In some examples, the preparation method can also include mixing one or more of glyceryl stearate, xylitol ester, lauric acid or sorbitol monopalmitate to form an anti-fogging agent.

In some examples, the preparation method may further include based on a total amount of 100 wt %, 85 wt %˜92 wt % of vinylidene chloride, 7 wt %˜9.5 wt % of methyl acrylate and 0.5 wt %˜6 wt % of acrylic acid is mixed to form the monomers of PVDC.


It is not intended to be limited by any theory or explanation. By preparing PVDC monomers through the above steps, the PVDC obtained in subsequent steps can have a suitable molecular structure and can have good compatibility with antifogging agents. PVDC has a suitable molecular structure, such as suitable chlorine atom content, suitable cyano group content, suitable molecular weight, etc., which can make PVDC coatings have good barrier performance, heat sealing performance and weather resistance.


In some examples, coating the barrier coating on the surface of the primer layer may include coating the barrier coating on the surface of the primer layer by a reverse coating roller.


Not intending to be bound by any theory or explanation, by applying the barrier coating on the surface of the primer layer by the reverse coating roller, the coating amount of the barrier coating can be controlled more precisely, and the barrier layer formed by the barrier coating has a more uniform thickness. The coating amount of the barrier coating is in an appropriate range, which can make the barrier layer have a suitable thickness, so that the effect of the barrier layer on improving barrier performance and heat sealing performance can be fully exerted; the barrier layer has better thickness uniformity, which can make Water molecules form a thinner transparent water film on the surface of the barrier layer, which makes the cellulose composite film have excellent anti-fog performance.


In some examples, after the barrier coating is coated on the surface of the primer layer, the preparation method may further include curing the cellulose composite film at a temperature of 30° C. to 40° C.


After curing, a large number of antifogging agent molecules can migrate to the surface of the barrier layer away from the primer layer, thereby further improving the antifogging performance of the cellulose composite film.

Example 1









It can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2 that the cellulose composite film provided by this application has degradability, good barrier performance, good heat-sealing performance and excellent anti-fog performance.


In contrast, Comparative Example 1 did not set a barrier layer, and the heat-sealing strength of the obtained film was 0, and the barrier performance was poor, which could not meet the needs of the preparation of the packaging box and the preservation of food. No anti-fog agent was added to the barrier layer of Comparative Example 2, and the anti-fog grade of the obtained film was 4-5, which was difficult to meet the visualization needs of refrigerated food packaging. The film material of Comparative Example 3 uses PVC film as the base film. Although it has high heat-sealing strength and excellent barrier properties, it is difficult to degrade and has no environmental protection performance.


The present disclosure provides a cellulose composite film, comprising: a cellulose film; the primer layer is positioned on the surface of the cellulose film; the barrier layer is positioned on the surface of the primer layer; wherein, the cellulose film is selected from regenerated cellulose film; the primer layer includes polyurethane film-forming resin; and the barrier layer includes a polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coating with an antifogging agent.


The cellulose composite membrane of the present disclosure takes the regenerated cellulose membrane as the base membrane, and the regenerated cellulose membrane can be degraded, further it is not easy to pollute the environment, therefore, the cellulose composite membrane of the present disclosure has excellent environmental protection guaranteed performance. In addition, the barrier layer has higher heat-sealing strength and barrier properties compared to the cellulose film, therefore, when the cellulose composite film of the present disclosure is applied to product packaging, the shelf life of the product can be extended. In the cellulose composite film, the primer layer bonds the cellulose film and the barrier layer into an integrated structure, and the barrier includes an anti-fogging agent, which can absorb water molecules in the air through the hydrophilic groups in the anti-fogging agent, and wet and diffuse on the surface of the barrier layer to form an ultra-thin transparent water film, thereby reducing the water in the air risk of molecules aggregating into fine droplets and thus forming a mist. Thus, when the cellulose composite film of the present disclosure is applied to the packaging of refrigerated food, it can reduce the formation of water mist on the inner or outer wall of the package due to the rapid temperature difference between cold and heat when the food is taken out of the refrigerated device or put into the refrigerated device. In this way, the visualization needs of related product packaging can be met.
