Microplastics produced from the discarded traditional non-degradable mulch film deteriorate the ecological environment and pose a great threat to human health. Developing eco-friendly and biodegradable materials to substitute traditional plastic mulch film highly contributed to the progress of green agriculture. Herein, a category of eco-friendly and all-biodegradable soy protein isolate (SPI)/oxidized sucrose (OS)/Lignin mulch film was innovatively proposed by employing OS as green cross-linker and lignin as nanofiller under chemical/physical interaction. The cross-linking effect and hydrogen bonds between biopolymers act as sacrificial bonds for energy dissipation and effectively reinforced the intermolecular interactions as well as tensile strength from 6.67 MPa of pristine SPI film to 8.45 MPa of SPI/OS/Lignin film. Moreover, the SPI/OS/Lignin mulch film also presented excellent UV-shielding, moisture retention, heat preservation effect and sustained urea release properties. Benefitting from the above-mentioned merits, higher germination rate of cabbage seed was achieved when the natural soil was covered by such multifunctional mulch film compared to traditional low-density PE film. Our findings paved a solid way in rational designing and fabricating eco-friendly, low-cost and all-biodegradable mulch film to facilitate the crops growth, boosting the development of green farming.
由废弃的传统不可降解地膜产生的微塑料恶化了生态环境,对人类健康构成了巨大威胁。开发环保、可生物降解的材料来替代传统塑料地膜,极大地促进了绿色农业的发展。在此,我们创新性地提出了一类环保的全生物降解的大豆分离蛋白(SPI)/氧化蔗糖(OS)/木质素地膜,采用 OS 作为绿色交联剂,木质素作为纳米填料,通过化学/物理相互作用。生物聚合物之间的交联效应和氢键作为能量耗散的牺牲键,有效地增强了分子间相互作用和拉伸强度,使原始 SPI 薄膜的拉伸强度从 6.67 MPa 提高到 SPI/OS/Lignin 薄膜的 8.45 MPa。此外,SPI/OS/Lignin 地膜还具有良好的遮光、保湿、保温效果和持续的尿素释放性能。得益于上述优点,与传统低密度聚乙烯地膜相比,当天然土壤覆盖这种多功能地膜时,白菜种子的发芽率更高。我们的研究结果为合理设计和制备环保、低成本、全生物降解的地膜铺平了道路,有利于作物生长,推动了绿色农业的发展。
