Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polymer materials, and specifically, to a preparation method of a modified poly(propylene carbonate) material. Background Art
[0002] Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is a degradable plastic copolymerized from carbon dioxide and propylene oxide, and has excellent transparency, biocompatibility, and oxygen / water barrier properties. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in the fields of food packaging and medicine. However, PPC is an amorphous polymer with a relatively low glass transition temperature (Tg), which limits its application in high-temperature environments. To extend the service temperature range of PPC, heat-resistant structural units need to be introduced.
[0003] Currently, most of the third monomers used to modify PPC are aliphatic epoxides, which can increase the glass transition temperature of the polymer and improve its mechanical properties. However, the successful cases of copolymerization of epoxides containing electron-withdrawing groups (such as epichlorohydrin) with carbon dioxide are very limited. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modified poly(propylene carbonate) material and its preparation method that can retain the degradability of the PPC material and significantly improve the various properties of the material.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A modified poly(propylene carbonate) material is a high molecular polymer obtained by terpolymerization of carbon dioxide, propylene oxide, and epichlorohydrin, and its number average molecular weight is from 10,300 to 59,400; its structure is shown in formula (1); wherein a≥1, b≥1, c≥0, and a, b, c are all integers;
[0006] A preparation method of a modified poly(propylene carbonate) material includes the following steps: In a dry autoclave, add propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, and a catalyst, introduce carbon dioxide and maintain a constant pressure, and react at a set temperature; after the reaction is completed, cool the autoclave by an ice-water bath, release the unreacted carbon dioxide, and purify the product to obtain the modified poly(propylene carbonate) material.
[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified poly(propylene carbonate) material specifically includes the following steps: (1) Dry the autoclave overnight and heat it in an oven at 110°C, and then transfer it to a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere; After the autoclave is cooled to room temperature, propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, and a catalyst are sequentially added to the autoclave. After the autoclave is sealed, it is taken out of the glove box, and hot air at 300 °C is used to purge the CO 2 pipeline to remove moisture and oxygen, and then the CO 2 is connected to the autoclave valve, and at the same time, CO 2 is continuously introduced, and a certain pressure of CO 2 is charged and maintained at a constant pressure; when the internal temperature of the autoclave reaches the reaction temperature, the reaction starts and this temperature is maintained. After the polymerization reaction is completed, the autoclave is cooled in an ice-water bath, and then the valve is slowly opened to release the unreacted CO 2 ; then dichloromethane is added to dilute the product, and then poured into deionized water and stirred to purify the product. After standing for the solution to separate, the upper aqueous solution is poured off, and then deionized water is added and the above operation is repeated 3 times to completely wash away the catalyst and by-products in the sample, and the sample is repeatedly precipitated 3 times in methanol. Subsequently, the purified sample is placed in a fume hood to volatilize most of the solvent, then placed in a blast drying oven at 60 °C for drying, and then placed in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C for further drying to constant weight, and finally a modified poly(propylene carbonate) material is obtained.
[0008] Preferably, the molar ratio of propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, and the catalyst is 1000 – 200:100 – 800:1.
[0009] Preferably, the pressure of the CO 2 in step (3) is 1.5 MPa - 3.5 MPa; the reaction temperature is 25 - 50 °C; the reaction time is 16 h - 36 h.
[0010] Preferably, the catalyst is a tetra-nuclear organic boron catalyst.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The modification of traditional PPC (polypropylene carbonate) materials usually introduces polyester segments. However, a major drawback of this approach is the introduction of non-degradable components, which goes against the current trends of environmental protection and sustainable development. On the other hand, although the copolymerization of epichlorohydrin (ECH) monomer with carbon dioxide can theoretically endow the material with new properties, due to the electron-withdrawing property of epichlorohydrin, its ring-opening polymerization becomes extremely difficult. Therefore, attempts to modify PPC with epichlorohydrin are rare. However, with the invention of the tetra-nuclear organic boron catalyst, this problem has been effectively solved. The tetra-nuclear organic boron catalyst is non-toxic, environmentally friendly and has high yield. This catalyst has a windmill-like structure and can achieve the complete alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epichlorohydrin under mild reaction conditions. This catalyst can significantly reduce the activation energy of the ring-opening polymerization of epichlorohydrin, making this reaction relatively easy. Therefore, in the present invention, epichlorohydrin is innovatively used as the third monomer to carry out terpolymerization with propylene oxide (PO) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to successfully synthesize a new type of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) material containing rigid chlorine groups. This innovation not only retains the degradability of the PPC material, but also significantly improves the properties of the material by introducing rigid chlorine groups. The maximum molecular weight of the synthesized polymer can reach 59.4 kg / mol, indicating that the preparation method of the present invention can effectively promote the formation of polymer chains, increase the molecular weight of the material, and thus enhance its physical properties and mechanical strength.
[0012] (2) The glass transition temperature of the modified poly(propylene carbonate) material prepared in the present invention is significantly increased. Compared with the traditional PPC material, its glass transition temperature (Tg) can reach up to 41.2 °C at most, broadening the application temperature range of the PPC material.
[0013] (3) The tensile strength of the modified poly(propylene carbonate) material prepared in the present invention is also enhanced, reaching up to 21.1 MPa at most. The improvement of these properties is mainly attributed to the introduction of chlorine atoms, which increases the rigidity of the polymer main chain and thus effectively improves the mechanical properties of the material.
[0014] (4) The modified poly(propylene carbonate) material prepared in the present invention exhibits excellent water and oxygen barrier properties and can be used in the fields of food packaging and medicine. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the material is as low as 1.31 cm 3 ·mm / (m 2 ·day), and the water vapor permeability coefficient is only 0.033 g·mm / (m²·day). This data is much lower than that of traditional PPC materials, indicating its significant advantage in water and oxygen barrier.
[0015] (5) The polymer used in the present invention is synthesized from carbon dioxide, utilizing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which has the significance of carbon reduction and is environmentally friendly and green.
[0016] (6) The modified poly(propylene carbonate) material prepared in the present invention has good transparency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
