Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, it is easy to obtain L-lactide and D-lactide in the industry, but because the preparation of D-lactide needs to use scarce D-lactic acid, which makes it expensive, it can be seen that the above method is not economical.

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of polylactic acid with low optical purity and high molecular weight. The method comprises the following steps: enabling lactide, to be subjected to isomerization reaction under the catalysis of alcohol alkali metal salt, so as to obtain isomer mixture of meso-lactide, D-lactide and L-lactide, wherein the optical purity of L-lactide or D-lactide in lactide is 90 to 100 percent; enabling the mixture to be subjected to polymerization reaction, so as to obtain the polylactic acid with low optical purity and high molecular weight. The preparation method is simple in process route and easy to operate; the polylactic acid prepared is low in optical purity. The weight-average molecular weight of the polylactic acid prepared through the preparation method is 90 to 120 kg / mol, the molecular weight distribution index is 1.3 to 1.7, the glass-transition temperature is 53 to 57 DEG C, and the optical rotation is -125 to 120 degrees.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of polymer synthesis and preparation, in particular to a method for preparing polylactic acid with low optical purity and high molecular weight. Background technique [0002] Polylactic acid (PLA) is a new type of polymer material that is completely biodegradable. It has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water in the body and in the natural environment. Poison is harmless. With the strengthening of people's awareness of environmental protection, more and more people pay more attention to PLA, and its application fields are expanding day by day. [0003] The degree of polymerization of high molecular weight polylactic acid is usually ≥ 1000 (calculated by lactoyl units). Polylactic acid includes poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and poly-D-lactic acid (PDLA). Polylactic acid is often due to a small amount of meso-lactide and / or D-lactide contained in the monomer L-lacti...
