Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials, specifically relating to an organometallic catalyst based on biguanide ligands, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Polyester materials, represented by polylactic acid, polycaprolactone, and poly1,3-dioxane-2-one, are a typical class of biodegradable polymer materials. They have advantages such as environmental friendliness, good mechanical properties, non-toxicity, non-irritation, and good biocompatibility, and have been successfully applied in agriculture, food, medical and other fields.

[0003] The most common method for preparing polyester materials is the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic lactones, where cyclic lactones undergo ring-opening polymerization under the action of a catalyst to obtain the target polyester material. This type of method typically involves metal catalysts, such as those with aluminum, tin, calcium, zirconium, and zinc as the core metal. Among these, stannous octoate is the most widely used ring-opening polymerization catalyst in industry due to its low cost and high efficiency. However, using stannous octoate as a catalyst in the preparation of polyester materials results in the presence of trace amounts of tin in the material. Since tin has a certain degree of biotoxicity, tin residue in polyester materials limits their application, especially in the food and medical fields. Developing metal catalysts with lower toxicity can effectively solve the problem of tin residue in polyester materials. Therefore, metal catalysts such as aluminum catalysts, zinc catalysts, magnesium catalysts, and zirconium catalysts have been extensively studied. Summary of the Invention
