Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of polycarbonate diols, and in particular to a polycarbonate diol containing a bio-based structure, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of material technology and the times, polyether diols and conventional polyester diols are gradually unable to meet the performance requirements of the industry; polycarbonate polyurethanes have the advantages of both polyether and polyester polyurethanes, and have excellent hydrolysis resistance and mechanical properties. Therefore, research on polycarbonate diols (PCDL) is increasing. Polycarbonate polyurethanes prepared using polycarbonate diols are highly valued by the polyurethane industry.

[0003] Polycarbonate polyurethane synthesized with polycarbonate diol as the soft segment has the advantages of both polyether and polyester polyurethanes, as well as excellent wear resistance, weather resistance, oil resistance and mildew resistance. It can be widely used in the fields of shoemaking, plastic running tracks and building sealing. In addition, due to its good biocompatibility, it can also be used as medical equipment and artificial organs in the medical and health fields.

[0004] The existing synthesis methods of polycarbonate diols mainly include phosgene method, cyclic carbonate ring-opening polymerization method, carbon dioxide-epoxide regulation copolymerization method, and ester exchange polycondensation method. Among them, the production risk of the phosgene method is relatively high, the product yield is low, and it has been gradually eliminated. The production cost of the cyclic carbonate ring-opening polymerization method is high, and the reaction conditions are demanding, which cannot be applied to the requirements of industrial large-scale production. The production performance of the carbon dioxide-epoxide regulation copolymerization method is unstable, and the post-processing is difficult, and it also cannot meet the requirements of industrial large-scale production. The ester exchange polycondensation method usually uses dialkyl carbonate and small molecule aliphatic diols to prepare polycarbonate diols through ester exchange polycondensation. It can avoid the use of highly toxic phosgene, and the raw materials are relatively cheap and easy to obtain, and the reaction conditions are mild. It is the current mainstream production process of polycarbonate diols.

[0005] However, the existing method for preparing polycarbonate diol by transesterification polycondensation method makes it difficult to control the number average molecular weight of the prepared polycarbonate diol, and the distribution of the number average molecular weight is difficult to control. At the same time, the biocarbon content of the polycarbonate diol prepared by the existing process is low, and the biocompatibility needs to be further improved; further, the inventors have also found through research that the low biocarbon content of the polycarbonate diol also leads to its poor compatibility with cellulose acetate, and the plasticizing effect of the polycarbonate diol on cellulose acetate needs to be further improved.
