Starch grafted fluorescent copolymer emulsion and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fluorescent whitening agents and surface sizing agents, and particularly relates to a starch grafted fluorescent copolymer emulsion as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Based on the problem of wood raw material shortage in China, high-yield pulp is popular in the papermaking industry due to the advantages of small fiber damage, high yield, small environmental pollution and the like, but the problems of poor paper-making strength, easy yellowing and the like limit the expanded application of the pulp. The stilbene fluorescent whitening agent is used as the most widely applied fluorescent whitening agent in the papermaking industry, and has the advantages of good whitening effect and high fluorescence quantum yield. The traditional stilbene fluorescent whitening agent has the defects of serious light-induced cis-trans isomerization phenomenon, poor binding force with paper and the like, so that the application range of the stilbene fluorescent whitening agent is greatly limited. Researchers have prevented cis-trans isomerism by incorporating uv absorbers into optical brighteners to reduce the absorption of uv light by the optical brighteners, but this does not substantially ameliorate the disadvantages of photo-cis-trans isomerism. Macromolecules are also adopted to modify the fluorescent whitening agent, so that the structural stability and the light stability of the compound are improved, but the loss of the fluorescent whitening agent is serious.
