Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polymer synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for preparing functionalized polymers based on macro-micro reactor chemical-enzyme method. BACKGROUND
[0002] This section provides background information only and is not necessarily prior art.
[0003] Functionalized polyacrylates are an important class of polymer materials that can be used to produce products with excellent properties such as heat resistance, water resistance, and ultraviolet resistance. For example, new functionalized acrylates can be used in industry to synthesize high-performance polymers, coatings, adhesives, and other chemicals, to manufacture materials that are resistant to chemical corrosion, high-strength, and high-transparency. In pharmaceutical chemistry, they can be used to manufacture drug delivery systems, control drug release rate and duration, and improve drug treatment effect and reduce adverse reactions. In biology and biomedical science, they can be used to manufacture biosensors, biochips, and biomedical materials. Traditional chemical preparation is to use transition metals as catalysts to catalyze ester exchange reactions, and introduce them in situ into ATRP polymerization to polymerize different monomers in sections to obtain polymers.
[0004] Enzymatic method is one of the green methods for preparing functionalized acrylates. Coupling enzymatic method with chemical catalysis can efficiently prepare functionalized polyacrylates. For example, combining enzymatic ester exchange monomer synthesis with light-controlled polymerization technology, through photo-induced reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (PET-RAFT), high monomer conversion rate (~100%) and good end group integrity (>80%) are achieved. By continuously adding monomers, different multi-block copolymers are quickly synthesized without purification steps. Not only is it efficient and convenient to obtain products with complex structure and function, but also the synthesis steps are simplified and the synthesis cost is reduced, embodying the concept of green chemistry and sustainable development, which is increasingly attracting attention from the chemical and industrial communities. However, in the use of traditional batch reactors, there are a series of problems such as enzyme deactivation and low conversion rate caused by vigorous stirring, and how to improve the yield and increase the reuse of enzymes has become a new challenge.
[0005] Enzymes are considered as green and efficient catalysts, with high chemical selectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity in the reaction process. Candida antarctica lipase A (CALB) is a lipase derived from Candida antarctica, and its commercial name is Novozyme 435. Due to its excellent selectivity, thermal stability, and catalytic activity, it is widely used in catalyzing ester exchange reactions, ring-opening polymerization, esterification reactions, and polycondensation reactions, etc.
[0006] Copper(0)-mediated reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP) is a kind of living radical polymerization with Cu(0) as the only catalyst, which has the advantages of simple and mild reaction conditions, fast polymerization of acrylate, etc., and is used to prepare various structures of small molecule homopolymers, block copolymers, complex structure polymers, functional polymers, functional surfaces and biological coupling. The metal Cu(0) exists in the form of wire or powder, and the reaction rate can be adjusted by changing the surface area. After polymerization, the unused Cu(0) can be removed from the polymer solution and reused for new reactions. In recent years, Cu(0)-mediated RDRP(Cu(0)-RDRP) in continuous flow microreactors has attracted more and more attention, which greatly promotes the possibility of industrial application.
[0007] In traditional tank reactors, enzyme-catalyzed transesterification reactions and controlled radical polymerization reactions have orthogonality, and functional polyacrylates can be prepared by "one-pot method", but there are problems such as difficulty in enzyme recovery, easy deactivation, long reaction time, poor controllability of reaction, etc.
[0008] By introducing microreactors, their small size has high specific surface area and volume ratio, thereby enhancing mass and energy transfer, improving reaction rate, reducing diffusion distance and reactant residence volume, thereby providing advantages for process intensification, which can overcome the problems of long reaction time in tank reactors, but the yield needs to be improved. The present application is based on macro-micro reactor for chemical-enzyme coupling reaction, which greatly shortens the reaction time of enzyme-catalyzed transesterification and polymerization, and successfully improves the conversion rate, and the characteristic scale of macro-micro reactor can reach centimeter level, which can realize high-throughput synthesis.

Then, another 20 mL of distilled water is drawn into the tubes and flushed into the tubes at a flow rate of 4 mL / min for 5 min to remove Cu2O and CuO from the copper surface. Then, 20 mL of trifluoroethanol is drawn into the tubes and flushed into the tubes at a flow rate of 0.333 mL / min for 60 min.

The microchannel tube with inner diameter of 1 mm was used to connect the syringe and the new microreactor (retention volume 0.5 mL), and the microchannel reactor with inner diameter of 1 mm was used to connect the new microreactor and the receiving device (retention volume 0.5 mL). The toluene solvent treated by heavy evaporation drying was used to flush the pipeline. 62.5 mmol (10.137 g) of benzyl acrylate, 62.5 mmol (6.125 g) of furfuryl alcohol, 0.3125 mmol (0.061 g) of 2-bromo-2-methylpropionic acid ethyl ester, 0.078 mmol (0.018 g) of tris (2-dimethylaminoethyl) amine and dimethyl sulfoxide (2.05 mL) were added in a 50 mL Schlenk round-bottom flask to form a solution, and the dissolved oxygen in the solvent was removed by bubbling. It was moved into the sample injection syringe, and the flow rate was set to 0.083 mL / min, i.e. the residence time was 60 min. The reaction temperature was 60°C, and the reaction was started. After 120 min, the reaction solution was collected, and at the same time, it was quenched in liquid nitrogen. After the collection was completed, 90 mL of cold methanol was added and left for 2 h, and the precipitate was separated by centrifugation, dissolved with tetrahydrofuran and re-separated by the above-mentioned precipitation separation. The separation and purification step was repeated for a total of three times, and the product was placed in a vacuum drying box for drying for 48 h. The structure of the obtained benzyl acrylate-furfuryl acrylate copolymer was identified by 1 HNMR and GPC identification showed that the enzyme catalyzed ester exchange conversion rate was 6.07%, and the Cu(0) catalyzed polymerization conversion rate was 48.44%. The number average molecular weight of the polymer was 7190 g / mol, and the molecular weight distribution index was 1.14, which was determined by GPC.
