Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing copolyether ester elastomer. The method comprises the following steps of mixing aromatic binary acid, polyether glycol and micromolecule glycol to carry out an esterification reaction, removing by-products of tetrahydrofuran and water to obtain carboxylate after the reaction is finished; transferring the obtained carboxylate into a pre-polycondensation reactor, adding an antioxidant and a catalyst to react for 1-2 hours, so as to obtain a prepolymer; transferring the prepolymer to a polycondensation kettle, wherein the polymerization time is 1.5-3 hours and the pressure is 100-200Pa; and obtaining the copolyether ester elastomer after the reaction is finished. By adopting the method disclosed by the invention, the copolyether ester elastomer is prepared from terephthalic acid as a raw material; the cost is low; and the by-product tetrahydrofuran generated by reaction is rectified and purified to obtain the high-purity tetrahydrofuran. The method has no negative effect on the cost of synthetizing TPEE (thermoplastic polyeher ester elastomer); the performance of the synthetized copolyether ester elastomer is consistent with that of the product prepared from dimethyl terephthalate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing copolyetherester elastomer. Background technique [0002] Polyester thermoplastic elastomer (TPEE for short) has the characteristics of both rubber and thermoplastic engineering plastics. It exhibits the characteristics of rubber at room temperature and the characteristics of thermoplastics at high temperatures. It can be plasticized and molded, and it is easy to process. Its molecular structure is composed of hard segment and soft segment. The hard segment is aromatic polyester (PET or PBT), and the polyether or polyester block with a lower glass transition temperature is used as the soft segment. It is elastic at the use temperature. Partial crystallization of the polyester hard segment of the polyether / polyester forms a crystalline microdomain, and the polyether / polyester soft segment and uncrystallized hard segment form an amorphous phase, and the crystalline microdomain acts as a physical crosslinkin...
