Abstract

Abstract Liquid mulching film is an emerging film material to replace the traditional plastic film, which causes wide public concern. In this study, a graft copolymer (LS-AA) was synthesized from sodium lignosulfonate (LS) by free radical polymerization, which was added as enhancer to the cationic starch (CS) solutions to obtain the CLA based film. The grafting conditions was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) for the preparation of LS-AA, after that the LS-AA was characterized by FTIR, XRD, and TG. The highest grafting rate was obtained under the reaction conditions of 80 °C for 2.6 h with the mass ratio of monomer and LS of 5.5/5 at initiator dosage of 1 %. The fabricated liquid mulching film with addition of LS-AA showed outstanding anti-ultraviolet, biodegradation, anti-erosion, which provided theoretical base and practical references for popularizing and application of liquid mulching film in the dust prevention and sand fixation.
