Description

[0001] The present application claims priority to the patent application with the application number of 2021114161422 and the title of "Polyester macromolecular compound and its preparation method and application" filed on November 25, 2021. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application belongs to the technical field of polymer synthesis, and relates to a polyester macromolecular compound and its preparation method and application, in particular to a chemical recyclable macromolecule based on CO2, H2 and 1,3-butadiene and its preparation method and application. BACKGROUND

[0003] Synthetic macromolecules, mainly carbon-based solid macromolecular materials, have a global annual output of hundreds of millions of tons. Using carbon dioxide CO2 as the main raw material to synthesize commercial solid macromolecular materials has great prospects for CO2 emission reduction. Currently, the commercial CO2-based macromolecular materials synthesized by using CO2 on the market are mainly polycarbonates and polyols, but the use amount of CO2 is not large, which cannot meet the demand for CO2 emission reduction. Therefore, it is still a major challenge in the field of CO2 energy saving and emission reduction to develop new types of CO2-based macromolecular materials that can be produced on a large scale.

[0004] To realize large-scale research and production of CO2-based macromolecules, at least the following requirements should be met, for example: in order to meet the economic requirements of large-scale production, the raw material copolymerized with CO2 should be a cheap bulk chemical raw material; the obtained polymer should be easily processed into the desired properties and have commercial performance indicators; in order to solve the increasingly serious problem of plastic pollution, the new type of polymer must be degradable. Unfortunately, there is currently no report of a CO2-based macromolecular material that can simultaneously meet the above multiple requirements and can fix a large amount of CO2 in it for a long time.

[0005] High molecular weight polymers containing heteroatoms in the backbone, especially polyester materials, are one of the ideal materials for polymer recycling approaches due to the nature of the ester bond in the backbone that can be easily broken. Therefore, the preparation of novel polyester high molecular weight materials from CO2 and cheap bulk chemical feedstocks, especially using ethylene and butadiene which are abundant and can be derived from biomass as raw materials, has been an important challenge that has not been solved in the field for decades. Although solid-state polyolefin materials containing ester groups derived from CO2 and 1,3-butadiene have been proven to be obtained by a multi-step process, due to their lack of processability, commerciality and recyclability, their potential for large-scale use is limited. The prior art reports that CO2 and 1,4-butadiene are synthesized into diethyl-substituted six-membered lactone, i.e. 3,6-diethyltetrahydro-2h-pyran-2-one (HL), but di-substituted lactone represented by HL is considered to be one of the non-polymerizable monomers. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a polymer material that can be synthesized from CO2 and cheap bulk chemical feedstocks, and has the properties of degradability, recyclability and applicability. SUMMARY

[0126] The present invention also provides polyester polymer compounds prepared by the above method.

[0127] The present invention also provides the application of the polyester polymer compound or the polyester polymer compound prepared by the above method in the fields of polyurethane and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

[0128] In the polyurethane field: Polyurethane, short for polyurethane, is a high molecular weight compound, mainly of two types: polyester and polyether. Polyurethane is primarily obtained by copolymerizing polyester polyols or polyether polyols with multifunctional isocyanates (such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate MDI, toluene diisocyanate TDI, etc.). Therefore, polyester polyols or polyether polyols of different molecular weights are indispensable raw materials in the field of polyurethane synthesis.

[0129] Polyurethane is classified into rigid foam, flexible foam, polyurethane elastomer, thermoplastic plastic, polyurethane adhesive, polyurethane coating, and paint according to its material properties. It is widely used in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, furniture, construction, insulation materials, and footwear manufacturing, and has very important application value.

[0130] Polyester polyols and polyether polyols are important precursors used industrially in the synthesis of polyurethane materials, and polyurethane materials based on polyester polyols often exhibit better mechanical properties than those based on polyether polyols. However, the production cost of polyester polyols is much higher than that of polyether polyols, thus limiting their large-scale application. Therefore, the polyHL prepared in this invention, a cheap and readily available polyester material with a novel chemical structure, and its corresponding polyester polyol, have significant and far-reaching implications for the polyurethane and even the chemical industry.

[0131] Pressure-sensitive adhesives, also known as pressure-sensitive self-adhesives or simply pressure-sensitive glues, are an indispensable functional material in the polymer industry. Chemically, most pressure-sensitive adhesives on the market are based on polyolefins. However, polyolefins cannot be degraded after use. Preliminary experimental results from this invention have demonstrated that polyHL possesses relatively better pressure-sensitive adhesive performance. Furthermore, because polyHL allows for the chemical recovery of its monomers, it has the potential to become the first pressure-sensitive adhesive on the market that enables monomer recovery, thus possessing a bright prospect for industrialization.

[0174] Example 2

[0175] In a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere, 0.0158 mmol of TBD catalyst and 0.0158 mmol of BnOH were added to a flame-dried 10 mL Schlenk tube. The Schlenk tube was then sealed with a rubber stopper, wrapped with sealing film, and removed from the glove box. It was then placed in a pre-set 30°C oil bath until temperature equilibrium was reached. Once temperature equilibrium was reached, 0.63 mmol of HL was rapidly injected into the Schlenk tube using a syringe, and the mixture was stirred for 96 h. Then, 1 mL of 5% HCl-methanol solution was added to quench the reaction, and 50 μL of the reaction solution was used for… 1 ¹H NMR was used to analyze the monomer conversion rate. To purify the polyHL product, the quenched reaction solution was added dropwise to 20 mL of ice-cold methanol. After centrifugation, the supernatant was discarded, and the precipitate was polyHL. The above purification steps were repeated 3-5 times. After obtaining the precipitate on the last attempt, it was placed in a vacuum drying oven and dried to constant weight. The resulting product was the polyHL sample purified under these conditions. n (number average molecular weight) and (Molecular weight distribution) was determined by GPC method at 40°C in a tetrahydrofuran mobile phase after correction based on PMMA standard sample.

Encouragingly, t Bu-P4 significantly promoted polymer formation, achieving a conversion rate of 87% after 12 hours, yielding M. n =19.9kg mol -1 PolyHL with a slightly wider molecular weight distribution D = 1.90. t Bu-P1、 t Bu-P2 and t The pKa values ​​of Bu-P4 in acetonitrile were 26.9, 33.5, and 42.7, respectively, which may be due to the significant differences in basicity among the three phosphazenes. Next, the pKa values ​​were gradually decreased... t Reducing the loading of Bu-P4 from 2 mol% to 0.2 mol% makes the polymerization more controllable. In particular, when... t When the loading of Bu-P4 was reduced to 0.2 mol%, M was obtained. n = 9.2 kg mol -1 The polyHL, with a very low dispersion D = 1.09 (Table 2, run 7), indicates living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of HL. However, as the initial monomer concentration of the system was gradually diluted in THF to 2.0, 1.6, and 1.3 M, the ROP of HL became less controlled: the conversion rate decreased significantly, and M... n With increased dispersibility (Table 2, runs 8-10), increasing the reaction temperature from -25°C to 41°C also leads to more uncontrollable polymerization. This invention also designed two sets of experiments with [HL] / [BnOH] ratios of 25 / 1 and 100 / 1. Both polymerization conditions achieved the highest monomer conversion of 88%, and the resulting polymers had a high M... n The [HL] / [BnOH] ratio increases linearly with increasing [HL] / [BnOH] ratio, while the dispersibility of the polymer remains low throughout.

[0203] Example 20: Study on the reaction characteristics of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of Example 9

[0204] For the reaction system, reaction conditions, and reaction steps used to study the characteristics of ring-opening polymerization, please refer to Example 9. Multiple parallel polymerization reactions were carried out by changing only the reaction time to study the change in conversion rate over time. The reaction was quenched after a predetermined reaction time to avoid systematic errors in conversion rate caused by continuously sampling and testing from the same reaction system.

[0205] Figure 4 The data in a and 4b comes from 1Conversion rate data characterized by H NMR, Figure 4 The data in c and 4d are derived from GPC analysis. Polymerization kinetics data support that the polymerization under these conditions is a living polymerization: monomer conversion increases linearly with reaction time. Figure 4 a).

Figure 4 The GPC curve with a unimodal distribution given by d also confirms this conclusion.

[0206] Example 21 characterizes the polymer molecules obtained in Examples 9 and 16.

[0207] The fidelity of the synthesized polyester (polyHL) chain end groups was investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The MS signal of polyHL showed only one set of molecular ion peaks, which is consistent with the desired structure of linear polyHL induced by BnOH in this invention. Figure 5 The structure of polyHL obtained by the tBu-P4 / BnOH system was further characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and it was observed that in the 1H NMR spectrum ( Figure 6 BnO - The proton signal on the methylene group (δ 5.12 ppm) and the proton signal on the methine group connected to the hydroxyl terminal group (δ 3.49 ppm) were observed, and in... 13 The corresponding signal can also be observed in the CNMR spectrum. Figure 7 ).

[0208] MALDI-TOF Experimental Procedure: The selected sample was the purified polymer sample from Example 9. The experiment was conducted using a Bruker Autoflex Speed ​​MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer in positive ion, reflectance mode. First, a drop of 1% NaI solution was added to the stainless steel target plate. Then, 1 μL of a mixture of matrix and polymer sample was added (DHB is the matrix concentration, an abbreviation for 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, with a matrix concentration of 20 mg / mL). -1 (The solvent was THF). MALDI-TOF performs external molecular weight calibration by adding a peptide calibration standard sample next to the sample well on the target plate. Raw data processing was performed in FlexAnalysis software, and the acquired raw data was used for the aforementioned spectra. Figure 5The rendering was performed using Origin Pro 2019b.

[0209] Figure 6 and Figure 7 The sample used for NMR testing was obtained in Example 16. Since the polymers initiated by BnOH belong to the same substance (with completely identical chemical structures), the difference in molecular weight has no effect on the chemical shift and characteristic peaks in the NMR spectrum. Only the integral area of ​​the polymer end groups differs. Therefore, the characteristic spectrum of the polymer obtained under the preferred conditions in the example is used as a representative for illustration.

Figure 11 This shows the curves showing the change in HL monomer concentration over time under different temperature conditions. Figure 12 Display the Van't Hoff analysis curve for HL.

[0220] This invention further investigates the effects at different temperatures (-25, -16, -9, 28, 41°C). t Bu-P4 / BnOH catalyzes the ROP reaction of HL, thereby calculating its polymerization thermodynamic parameters. Figure 11 and 12 According to the Dainton equation, the THF concentration at [HL]0 = 1.0 mol / L was calculated. -1 enthalpy change over time (ΔH) o p ) and entropy change (ΔS) op The values ​​are -13.12 kJ / mol. -1 and -49.09 J mol -1 K -1 To further obtain T c The temperature is -6℃.

Therefore, introducing substituents at the α- and δ- positions of δ-VL is an effective strategy to improve the chemical recyclability of the monomer.
