In this study, a polylactic acid/cellulose fiber ultrafine-fiber paper with a sandwich-like structure was developed using wet papermaking and laminated hot pressing techniques. The PLA/CF ultrafine-fiber paper exhibited remarkable mechanical properties and high biodegradability, making it a potential alternative to plastic straws.
Paper straws with environmental friendliness have been widely used to replace plastic straws, but their poor mechanical properties and uncontrollable deformation bring an unsatisfactory experience for users. Herein, we developed a polylactic acid/cellulose fiber (PLA/CF) ultrafine-fiber paper with a sandwich-like structure via wet papermaking and laminated hot pressing, employing PLA ultrafine fiber and CF as raw materials. The PLA/CF ultrafine fiber paper has remarkable mechanical properties due to the tangling of the fibers and the strong hydrogen bonding that occurs between the PLA and CF during hot pressing. The test results demonstrate that the tensile strength of PLA/CFs ultrafine fiber paper can reach 60.32 N/cm, and it still retains great wet strength (27 N/cm) and stiffness (117.7 mN center dot cm) after long-time service in various clod and hot liquids. Besides, PLA/CF ultrafine fiber paper also displays high biodegradability, with a degradation rate of 70% after being buried in soil for 120 days. We believe that PLA/CF ultra-fine fiber paper with excellent comprehensive performance can be expected to completely replace plastic straws.
