动态共价亚胺网络构建策略制备竹纤维生物塑料及性能

Preparation of Bamboo Fiber Bioplastics and Performance via Dynamic Covalent Imine Network Construction Strategy

  • 摘要: 当前,传统塑料的难降解性正加剧着全球环境负荷。尽管生物基可降解材料被视为替代方案之一,但其长期使用仍受制于高昂的成本与漫长的降解周期。竹纤维虽来源天然产物且可再生,然而其加工却面临技术瓶颈,分子内密集的氢键网络使其不具备热塑性,从而无法直接进行热成型。针对上述问题,本研究采用基于动态共价化学键构建亚胺网络结构的新策略。首先通过化学提取获得竹纤维,经高碘酸钠选择性氧化引入醛基,再通过席夫碱反应形成动态亚胺交联结构,最终通过热压成型制备竹纤维塑料。研究结果表明,动态亚胺键的引入成功取代了纤维素中的部分强氢键,使材料可利用动态共价键的交换反应实现热压重塑。所得竹纤维塑料在具备良好稳定性的同时,展现出优异的力学性能 (拉伸强度达40.3 MPa)、疏水性能(水接触角达101.2°,吸水率仅1.25%),并且在室外土壤埋藏实验中表现出明显的可降解性。本研究为开发兼具高性能、可加工性和环境友好性的全生物质塑料提供了新的技术路径。

     

    Abstract: The poor degradability of conventional plastics is intensifying the global environmental burden. Although bio-based biodegradable materials are considered one of the alternatives, their long-term application remains constrained by high costs and lengthy degradation cycles. Bamboo fiber, derived from natural sources and renewable, faces technical bottlenecks in processing, as its dense intramolecular hydrogen bonding network renders it non-thermoplastic and unsuitable for direct thermoforming. To address these issues, this study adopted a new strategy based on dynamic covalent chemical bonds to construct an imine network structure. Bamboo fiber was first extracted via chemical methods, followed by selective oxidation with NaIO4 to introduce aldehyde groups. Dynamic imine crosslinked structure was then formed through Schiff base reaction, and finally, bamboo fiber-based plastic was prepared by hot pressing. The results show that the introduction of dynamic imine bonds successfully replaced part of strong hydrogen bonds in cellulose, enabling material reshaping through exchange reaction of dynamic covalent bonds via hot pressing. The obtained bamboo bioplastic exhibits good stability, outstanding mechanical properties (tensile strength up to 40.3 MPa), hydrophobic performance (water contact angle up to 101.2°, water absorption rate as low as 1.25%), and demonstrates clear degradability in outdoor soil burial experiments. This study provides a new technological pathway for developing all-biomass-based plastics that combine high performance, processability, and environmental friendliness.
