Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer materials and relates to a biodegradable super absorbent polymer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are functional polymer materials that contain a large number of hydrophilic groups and have very high water absorption capacity. They are widely used in hygiene and biological related fields. Among them, baby diapers, female hygiene products and adult incontinence products account for more than 95% of the super absorbent polymer market.
[0003] Water absorption capacity is a standard parameter that describes the water retention capacity of SAPs, which is defined as the weight of absorbed liquid (g) divided by the dry weight of SAPs (g). At present, the common super absorbent resins on the market are mainly polyacrylic acid and its sodium salt series products, which have super strong water absorption capacity. Although polyacrylic acid and its sodium salt series products have brought great convenience to people's lives, as the number of uses increases, the environmental problems caused by the use of this series of products have gradually attracted people's attention. Since most of these products are disposable and cannot be degraded in the natural environment, white pollution in nature is increasing, causing great damage to the ecological environment. Therefore, the research and development of degradable super absorbent polymers is very urgent and necessary.
[0004] Degradable super absorbent resins can be prepared from a variety of materials, which can be divided into natural and synthetic polymers according to the source of the materials. Natural polymers mainly include materials such as cellulose, starch and alginate. There are a large number of hydroxyl groups in the chemical structure of cellulose, which is highly hydrophilic, but its water absorption capacity is still insufficient for SAPs applications. Starch is the most abundant polysaccharide in plants, with the advantages of low cost, easy modification and good processing performance. Starch is also a natural macromolecule rich in hydroxyl groups and has high SAP development potential. However, starch has a low specific surface area and needs to be further chemically modified to enhance its water absorption capacity. Alginate is a naturally occurring anionic polymer with large output and low price, but the water absorption and mechanical properties of natural alginate resin are poor and cannot meet the requirements of actual use.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the prior art often further improves the water absorption performance by grafting acrylic molecules. For example, patent CN 103122049 B adds (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8The cellulose was modified by using an aqueous solution of sodium acrylate to propose a method for preparing a cellulose super absorbent resin, which absorbs 975 g of water per gram of resin. Patent CN 103073684 B developed a super absorbent resin based on a starch / sodium alginate / acrylic acid composite system by adding starch to a polymerization system of sodium alginate and acrylic acid, which absorbs 960 g of water per gram of resin. However, although the above method can achieve high water absorption of the resin, it cannot be completely degraded due to the introduction of non-degradable acrylic acid, and there is even a risk of deriving microplastics.
[0006] Based on the above technical status, in recent years, researchers have begun to focus on developing a new generation of SAPs that are more environmentally friendly. For example, using bio-based raw materials to develop low-carbon or degradable products. Itaconic acid (IA) is a bio-based monomer. The double bonds in its chemical structure can undergo free radical polymerization and have a structure very similar to acrylic acid. Researchers have developed some new SAPs around itaconic acid. Although itaconic acid has a structure very similar to acrylic acid, the olefin bond faces greater steric hindrance, and the molecular weight of the polymer prepared by itaconic acid is low. In order to overcome this problem, patent CN113089181 B proposes to prepare a copolyester with high strength and good water absorption by reacting sodium p-styrene sulfonate, diol, initiator, and itaconic acid. However, whether it is homopolymerization or copolymerization, itaconic acid is used as the polymer skeleton for the CC bond structure, which is extremely stable under natural conditions, so the final product prepared does not have biodegradability.
[0007] In order to obtain better biodegradability, some new technical solutions have also been introduced. Some researchers have used a degradable substrate as a base and sprayed a water-absorbing material to achieve the purpose of water absorption. For example, patent CN 111920587 B proposes to use a polylactic acid fiber mesh as a matrix, spray it with polyvinyl alcohol super absorbent resin powder after heat reinforcement, so as to prepare a degradable water-absorbing composite material for use in disposable sanitary products. The polylactic acid fiber mesh used in this method can be biodegraded, however, the added polyvinyl alcohol super absorbent resin powder is still non-degradable SAPs, so it does not fundamentally solve the problem of the degradability of the absorbent resin. Patent CN 112625306 B prepares a fully degradable super absorbent resin by mixing natural degradable polymer materials (carboxymethyl chitosan, chitosan quaternary ammonium salt, carboxymethyl starch, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, gelatin, etc.) with calcium chloride through a simple solution blending process. Although the fully degradable super absorbent resin in this patent has excellent degradation performance and water absorption capacity, it is prepared by solution processing. A large amount of organic solvents are used in the preparation process, causing environmental pollution and endangering the health of operators. In addition, trace amounts of solvent residues may be toxic.
[0008] Therefore, it is of great significance to study a biodegradable super absorbent polymer and a preparation method thereof to solve the problem that the super absorbent polymer in the prior art cannot have super absorbent capacity, excellent biodegradability and processing performance. Summary of the invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a biodegradable super absorbent polymer and a preparation method thereof.
[0010] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0011] A method for preparing a biodegradable super absorbent polymer, comprising: firstly, performing a ring-opening polymerization reaction on polyol I and terpene acid to generate a carboxyl side chain oligomer, then performing a polycondensation crosslinking reaction on the carboxyl side chain oligomer and polyol II to obtain a degradable crosslinked polymer, wherein the degradable crosslinked polymer has poor water absorption performance, and finally reacting the degradable crosslinked polymer with a sodium salt (other high-valent salts such as calcium salts and aluminum salts, Ca²⁺ and Al³⁺ will crosslink with multiple carboxylic acid groups, resulting in a compact network structure and greatly reducing the water absorption capacity) to obtain a biodegradable super absorbent polymer, wherein after the degradable crosslinked polymer reacts with the sodium salt to form sodium carboxylate, an osmotic pressure difference is formed during water absorption, thereby further absorbing water, and the biodegradable super absorbent polymer has excellent water absorption performance;
[0012] Polyol I is ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, hexylene glycol, octanediol, isosorbide, isomannide, isoidide, IIDML (isoidose-2,5-dimethanol, )、IMDML(isomannose-2,5-dimethanol, )、ISDML(isosorbide-2,5-dimethanol, ), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol or furandimethanol, polyol I includes but is not limited to these aliphatic diols and cyclic diols, such as cyclic diols can also be Galx-OH (2,3:4,5-di-O-Methylene-galactitol, ), Manx-OH (2,3:4,5-di-O-Methylene-D-mannitol, ), BCD (4,4'-Bicyclohexanone Glycerol Diketal, ), CHD (1,4-Cyclohexanedione Glycerol Diketal, ), CaG (Camphorquinone Diketal Glycerol, ), CM diol (2,4:3,5-di-O-camphor-D-mannitol, ), etc., polyol II is a triol such as propylene glycol, triethanolamine, 1,2,4-butanetriol, or a tetraol such as pentaerythritol, erythritol, etc. Similarly, polyol II includes but is not limited to these two types of polyols.
[0013] The present invention utilizes polyols and terpene acids to carry out ring-opening polymerization and alkyd polycondensation, increases the polymer molecular weight through ring-opening polymerization, provides cross-linking sites through alkyd polycondensation, and constructs a new polymer system in which the polymer main chain is degradable and has excellent water absorption performance. Compared with traditional non-degradable polyacrylic acid super absorbent materials, due to the presence of ester groups in the polymer main chain, the prepared biodegradable super absorbent polymer can be degraded under conditions such as hydrolysis, soil, composting, and microorganisms. Due to the presence of sodium carboxylate groups in the polymer side chains, the prepared biodegradable super absorbent polymer has excellent water absorption performance, and the biodegradable super absorbent polymer has cross-linking characteristics, which can ensure that it can still maintain a solid shape after absorbing water.
