摘要:
The present invention relates to a new water-disintegrable environmentally friendly macromolecular material formed by blending fine particles of water absorbing resins into polystyrene material and the like, said material will disintegrate into powder in a certain rate or lose its intensity when meets water. The present invention also relates to two kinds of methods for preparing the material. The first method is the blend polymerization method by adding fine particles of water absorbing resins which have particle sizes of up to 5 µ m and initiators into styrene monomers and the like followed by polymerization. The second method is the reverse phase-two phase polymerization method by agitating monomers which will become water absorbing polymer after polymerization, such ais oil-soluble monomer like styrene, sodium acrylate, and methylene bisacrylamide, with water, initiators and W/O type emulsifiers, forming W/O type emulsion, then carrying out polymerization. The material of the present invention has the advantage of simple preparing method, low, cost, water disintegrating rate in control and etc, it can be in place of disposable packing materials such as disposable lunch boxes, foamed polystyrene which pollutes environment heavily and is hard to be recycled at present, etc.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel water-disintegrable environment-friendly macromolecular material formed by blending water absorbent resin particles into polymers, such as polystyrene. Said material will disintegrate into powder or lose its intensity at a certain rate in the presence of water. The present invention also relates to two kinds of processes for preparing said material. The first process is called blending-polynaerization process, wherein water absorbent resin particles with particle size not more than 5 µm, together with an initiator, are added into one or more monomers, such as styrene, to carry out polymerization. The second process is called reverse-phase emulsion polymerization process, wherein a W/O emulsion was firstly formed by agitating a mixture of one or more oil-soluble monomers, such as styrene, one or more water-soluble monomers that will form water-absorbent polymer after polymerization, such as sodium acrylate and methylene bisacrylamide, water, initiators and a W/O emulsifer, and then a polymerization was carried out. The material of the present invention has advantages that its preparation involves low cost, and its water-disintegrating rate is controllable. The material of the present invention can be used to replace the currently used foamed polystyrene type packing materials, especially the packing materials for disposable meal boxes, which are pollutive and difficult to be recycled and degraded.
