The invention discloses a star-shaped comb-type fluorescent
polylactic acid and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of high
molecular materials. The structure of the star-shaped comb-type fluorescent
polylactic acid is C-(Pf)n, wherein C is a star-shaped macroinitiator residue, P is
polylactic acid, f is a fluorescent functional group, n is the star-shaped branching degree, and n is greater than or equal to 3; the number-average molecular weight of the star-shaped comb-type fluorescent polylactic acid is 1*10<4>-50*10<4> g / mol, and the single-arm number-average molecular weight is 0.1*10<4>-2*10<4> g / mol; a star-shaped macroinitiator is a star-shaped hydroxylated
polymer, there are 8-60
hydroxide radicals, and the number-average molecular weight is 0.1*10<4>-2*10<4> g / mol; the fluorescent functional group comprises fluorescent small molecules containing carboxy groups, and the end blocking rate of the fluorescent small molecules is 10%-100%. Firstly, an active anion reaction is utilized for synthesizing a star-shaped hydroxylated
polymer initiator, organic alkali is taken as a catalyst, and
lactide ring opening polymerization is catalyzed; a kind of star-shaped comb-type polylactic acid is synthesized, the star-shaped comb-type polylactic acid and the fluorescent functional group are subjected to a
grafting reaction, and the star-shaped comb-type high-branching fluorescent polylactic acid is prepared. The functionalization method is simple, synthesis
reaction conditions are mild, and a star-shaped comb-type high branching structure effectively improves the
polymer performance and the
fluorescence enhancement efficiency.
