The principle of the invention is that firstly imidazole and epichlorohydrin are used as monomers, and Poly [ ECH-MIM ] -DBS with dodecylbenzene sulfonate ion as anion is synthesized through quaternization reaction and ion exchange reaction; the starch is used as a plasticizer to be mixed with starch, and new hydrogen bonding effect is generated by utilizing anions and cations of the polyionic liquid and hydroxyl groups on starch molecular chains, so that the hydrogen bonding effect between the molecular chains is greatly weakened compared with that of the original starch, the starch molecular chains can slide at a relatively low temperature, and the melting phenomenon is macroscopically expressed, thus obtaining the thermoplastic starch. On the other hand, due to the hydrophobicity of the polyion liquid Poly [ ECH-MIM ] -DBS anion, the thermoplastic starch material can be endowed with hydrophobicity, and the hydrophobic thermoplastic starch in the invention has hydrophobicity after secondary thermoplastic processing, which is different from the common surface hydrophobic modification. The thermoplastic starch material plasticized by the polyionic liquid can be pressed into a sheet by a flat vulcanizing machine, which fully represents the thermoplasticity of the material. And the infrared spectrum, the differential scanning calorimetry image, the thermal weight loss image and the mechanical property test can be used as effective means for analyzing the interaction of the corn starch and the polyion liquid. Particularly, the contact angle of the material is tested by using a full-automatic video microcosmic contact angle measuring instrument, so that the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the material are judged.
The polyionic liquid Poly [ ECH-MIM ] -DBS is designed and synthesized and is used for preparing hydrophobic thermoplastic starch, an imidazole cationic ionic liquid unit is contained on the main chain of the polyionic liquid, and the polyionic liquid contains a hydroxyl structure, anions and cations can form hydrogen bond action with hydroxyl of a starch molecular chain, the effect of effectively avoiding the recombination of the hydrogen bond of starch molecules is achieved, the starch is in an amorphous state, so that the starch obtains thermoplastic processing performance, and hydrophobic dodecyl benzene sulfonate ions on the Poly [ ECH-MIM ] -DBS can bring hydrophobicity to the thermoplastic starch; the preparation method is simple, does not use micromolecular plasticizers, is different from common surface hydrophobic modification, and the obtained thermoplastic starch still has hydrophobicity after secondary thermoplastic processing and good mechanical property, thereby expanding the application field of the starch, optimizing the performance of the thermoplastic starch material and developing the application value of the starch more greatly.
