Problems solved by technology

The production raw materials in the phosgene method are phosgene and diols. Due to the high toxicity of phosgene and the large amount of waste water generated during the production process, the production conditions are harsh and the pollution is relatively large, so it has been basically eliminated.
In the ring-opening polymerization method of cyclic carbonates, polycarbonates with higher molecular weight can be synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of six-membered and more than six-membered cyclic carbonates, but most of the cyclic carbonates are made by the phosgene method, and there are also Pollution
In addition, decarbonation occurs during the ring-opening process of five-membered ring carbonates. Most studies have focused on the ring-opening polymerization of six-membered ring carbonates, which greatly limits the types of aliphatic polycarbonates prepared by this method.
Carbon dioxide / epoxide regulated copolymerization method also can only synthesize the polycarbonate of specific structure, and needs to use a large amount of catalyzers in the preparation process, will remove a large amount of catalyzers from the product of high viscosity simultaneously; In addition, this The aliphatic polycarbonates prepared by this method are all in an amorphous state, which leads to poor heat resistance of the polymer
But the molecular weight of the prepared aliphatic polycarbonate of prior art is all very little (no more than 2000), as US 2789946, US 3000849, CN 1616407A etc., can't be directly used as plastics at all, but as preparation polycarbonate type polyurethane The use of raw materials
US 3544524 utilizes aryl carbonate as a raw material to react with small molecule diol to synthesize high molecular weight aliphatic polycarbonate, but the utilization rate of carbonate is too low (aryl is finally discharged from the reaction vessel in the form of phenol), thus limits the application of this reaction

Abstract

The invention discloses aliphatic polycarbonate with high molecular weight and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: in inert atmosphere, gradually heating divalent alcohol and carbonic ester under the action of a catalyst to complete an ester exchange reaction, and completely removing methyl alcohol generated in the process of the reaction to obtain a prepolymerof the aliphatic polycarbonate; and adding a polycondensation catalyst into the reaction system, and carrying out a polycondensation reaction in vacuum to obtain a product. The method has low cost ofraw materials and higher utilization ratio, reduces the cost of the product greatly, overcomes the defect of high cost of biodegradable materials, uses less dosage of catalyst in the reaction process,and avoids the complicated catalyst separation process. The aliphatic polycarbonate obtained by the method is white crystalline solid, has the number average molecular weight of between 6,000 and 2*10<5>, and can be directly used as plastics, does not contain an ether bond in the main chain of the polycarbonate, is a crystalline polymer, and greatly improves the heat-resistant quality of the polymer.
