Abstract

The invention discloses a melt polycondensation method for preparing high molecular weight polylactic acid. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of: (1) pre-polymerizing, namely adopting a heating decompression dehydration process to remove free water and partial bound water in a raw material, namely lactic acid, to obtain a prepolymer, wherein the temperature of a reaction system is between 100 and 200 DEG C, and the pressure of the reaction system is between 0 and 30kPa; and 2) performing azeotropic water removal polycondensation by lactide, namely taking the prepolymer prepared in the step (1) as a raw material for polycondensation under the condition of adding a catalyst, a cocatalyst and an azeotropic water removal agent, namely the lactide, wherein the temperature of the reaction system is between 150 and 250 DEG C, the pressure of the reaction system is between 0 and 20kPa, the reaction time is between 1 and 45 hours, the adding amount of the catalyst is between 0.001 and 5 weight percent, the adding amount of the cocatalyst is between 0.001 and 5 weight percent, and the adding amount of the azeotropic water removal agent, namely the lactide is between 0.01 and 50 weight percent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic polymer materials, and relates to a preparation method of polylactic acid, in particular to a method for directly synthesizing high-molecular-weight polylactic acid by a melting polycondensation method. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer material produced from renewable resources such as corn starch. An ideal ecological cycle that participates in the process of regeneration of biomass resources is part of the natural carbon cycle. Polylactic acid is non-toxic and non-irritating, and is a typical green chemical. High molecular weight polylactic acid has a glass transition temperature of about 60°C and a melting point of 170-200°C. It is a thermoplastic polymer with similar physical and mechanical properties to polystyrene (PS) and polyester (PET), and has excellent properties. Physical and mechanical properties, and good processing performance, can be processed b...
