Thermoplastic cellulose-based solid-solid phase transition material and preparation method thereof

The invention discloses a thermoplastic cellulose-based solid-solid phase transition material and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1, drying cellulose or a cellulose derivative; 2, respectively dissolving a cross-linking agent and polyethylene glycol alkyl ether in an organic solvent I to obtain a cross-linking agent solution and a polyethylene glycol alkyl ether solution, adding the polyethylene glycol alkyl ether to the cross-linking agent solution in a dropwise manner, adding a catalyst, and reacting for 0.5-10h to obtain a prepolymer solution, wherein a mole ratio of the polyethylene glycol alkyl ether to the cross-linking agent is 1:1; and 3, dissolving cellulose in an ionic liquid to obtain a cellulose solution, adding the prepolymer solution, acid anhydride and a catalyst to the above obtained cellulose solution, carrying out a polymerization reaction for 2-24h to obtain a finally obtained mixture, adding the finally obtained mixture to deionized water or an organic solvent II for precipitation, repeatedly washing the above obtained precipitate with deionized water 2-3 times, and carrying out vacuum drying to obtain the thermoplastic cellulose-based solid-solid phase transition material. The phase transition material has a good thermal stability and a melting processing performance, and can be blended with a thermoplastic copolymer matrix for melting processing.
