摘要

Low cost

green sustainable and biodegradable biomass-based fluorine-free water and oil repellent. The prepared product did not exhibit any leakage after being soaked in hot water and hot oil at 95±5℃ for 30 minutes.

Abstract

With the global ban on plastics intensifying

the substitution of plastic with paper has garnered increasing attention. However

the inadequate water and oil repellency of pulp molding hinders its practical applications. Currently

the common method to enhance the oil and water repellency of pulp molding is by adding fluorinated water and oil repellents. Nevertheless

fluorinated compounds are environmentally and physiologically harmful. Therefore

the development of fluorine-free

water and oil repellent alternatives is crucial. In this study

chitosan and stearic acid were utilized as the first and second layers of the oil and water repellent coatings

respectively. The coated samples exhibited favorable water repellency

with a water contact angle of 116.4°

and excellent oil repellency

achieving a 12/12 rating on the kit scale. Importantly

the samples did not exhibit any leakage after being soaked in hot water and hot oil at 95±5 °C for 30 min

demonstrating remarkable performance as a barrier against hot water and oil. Moreover

the coated samples displayed outstanding mechanical properties

thermal stability

biodegradability

and recyclability. The approach presented in this study is simple

cost-effective

environmentally friendly

and represents a promising technique for producing fluoride-free

oil- and water-resistant pulp molding products.
