Quick-drying and shaping device for fiber reinforced starch composite material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of product drying and shaping, in particular to a quick-drying and shaping device for a fiber reinforced starch composite material.
Background
Starch is a renewable recyclable green material from natural plants, can be used as grain for human use, and is widely applied to the fields of chemical industry and new materials for preparing various composite materials. Due to the excellent biodegradability, starch is generally used as filling to prepare thermoplastic high-biochar-content bio-based composite materials, is widely applied to disposable products, and is more and more valued by people in the large environment that petrochemical resources are increasingly in shortage and white pollution is increasingly serious at present. The plant fiber is used as another natural renewable resource with wide source, is used as a main raw material of the bio-based composite material for synthesis and manufacture of new materials, is applied to papermaking, wood-plastic composite materials and the like, and effectively promotes the application of the environment-friendly bio-based composite material. Many researches have been carried out to add starch and plant fiber as filling components into plastic materials for preparing novel composite materials, and the addition of the plant fiber can change the characteristics of the traditional pure plastic materials, so that the processing technology is more complicated and is more difficult to control. Moreover, most of the materials cannot be degraded after being mixed with the plastic resin, and the recyclability of the composite material is affected.
There has also been much research and application in which natural plants are made into pulp, and a heterogeneous product is produced through a pulp molding process, and is called stereolithography. Although the process can obtain fully-degradable pure natural products without plastic components, the forming process is relatively complex, the energy consumption is high, the yield is low, and the application is greatly limited. If the plant fiber, the starch and the adhesive component are prepared into a sizing agent with a certain concentration and the sizing agent is prepared into a special-shaped product through injection molding, the special-shaped product has very important application value. But the technical difficulty is how to quickly discharge the water in the slurry and accelerate the shaping of the product. The traditional process adopts an electric heating process, but has high energy consumption and slow water evaporation, and is difficult to simultaneously maintain the quality and the efficiency.
