Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and in particular relates to a thermosetting degradable polymer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Plastics are widely used in aerospace, machinery and electronics because they are easy to manufacture and use and are inexpensive. However, it is generally believed that plastics will aggravate chemical degradation when exposed to ultraviolet rays, heat and oxygen conditions, leading to fragmentation and the formation of microplastics. Microplastics are harmful to animals, plants and the environment due to the ability of plastics to adsorb, transport and release chemicals and the potential toxicity of particles. In order to reduce the generation of microplastics, people usually enhance the durability of plastics by covalent cross-linking, however, this often leads to recycling difficulties. For example, epoxy resin, a typical thermosetting plastic, has significantly improved mechanical properties after curing (covalent cross-linking), but the cured epoxy resin is difficult to melt and recycle. Therefore, the recycling of such plastics can only be achieved through mechanical crushing, high-temperature incineration or chemical recycling. However, these recycling methods will lead to resource waste or secondary pollution.
[0003] In recent years, non-covalent cross-linking technologies based on hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and metal-coordination have shown great potential in the recyclability of thermosets. However, the dissociation processes of these supramolecular interactions often require the use of toxic reagents, resulting in high energy costs and large amounts of hazardous waste. Therefore, it has become particularly important to develop innovative green recycling technologies to achieve sustainable management of thermosets. Summary of the invention

[0068] (4) Preparation of polymer film: CPIVA was prepared into a polymer film by a casting method.
[0069] Test example
[0070] 1. Bio-tailoring of Thermosetting Plastics
[0071] Using Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a representative example of microorganisms, the biological response of a small molecule compound (Tryp) in liquid culture medium of E. coli was studied (see 8c).
[0072] Preparation of E. coli liquid culture medium: weigh 0.85g soluble starch culture medium, 0.5g glucose and 50mL distilled water in a 100mL beaker, stir and boil, continue to boil for 10 minutes, cool to room temperature, and then put into a 250mL conical flask to obtain unsterilized glucose-starch culture solution. Seal the conical flask with cotton gauze and put it into a vertical high-pressure steam sterilizer. Set the autoclave at 121°C for 20 minutes for high-pressure steam sterilization; after sterilization, cool to room temperature and take it out, transfer it to the clean bench to inoculate E. coli, and put the inoculated liquid culture medium into a constant temperature incubator for cultivation for standby use.
[0073] The operation process is as follows: Taking the CPIVA plastic in Example 1 as an example, 2 mL of Escherichia coli liquid culture medium soaked with CPIVA plastic is placed in a small glass bottle, and then 2-3 mL of ether is added to the glass bottle, and indole is extracted into the ether by sufficient shaking. After standing for a period of time, the ether layer floats on the culture medium. At this time, 3-5 drops of Kovacs indole kit are slowly added along the bottle wall (do not shake the glass bottle after adding the reagent); if indole is present, the ether layer will be rose red, which is an indole positive reaction. On the contrary, if the ether layer is yellow or no yellow, it is a negative reaction. Different reaction results are shown in Figure 7 , the reaction process schematic diagram is shown in 8a.
[0074] The positive indole reaction results in this application show that Tryp can react with 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde after being cleaved by E. coli, and the solution turns red ( Figure 8 c-Ⅲ). This obvious color change indicates the presence of indole groups in the liquid culture medium. Therefore, it can be inferred that the change process of the polymer in this application is: the alkane side chain at the C3 position of the indole in Tryp is cut by E. coli, exposing the indole C3 position ( Figure 8 c-Ⅰ, Ⅱ); the exposed indole C3 position can be quickly replaced by 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to form rose indole, making the solution red.
[0075] 2. Cross-linking of thermosetting plastics
[0076] In this application, the linear polymer PIVA and MDI-TAD are dissolved in DMSO and the covalently cross-linked thermosetting plastic (CPIVA) is prepared by a rapid click reaction at room temperature. Fig. 9 a; At room temperature, the obtained CPIVA is a transparent, non-sticky yellow solid; when the prepared PIVA is placed in different solvents, PIVA dissolves and disappears; when CPIVA is placed in different solvents, CPIVA curls and swells slightly, indicating that there are crosslinks in CPIVA (see Fig. 9 b and Table 1);
[0077] Table 1: Solubility of PIVA and CPIVA in different solvents
[0078] sample Methyl dimethacrylate Dimethyl sulfoxide dimethylformamide N-Methylpyrrolidone Tetrahydrofuran PIVA + + + + - CPIVA - - - - -
[0079] + means the polymer is completely soluble, - means the polymer is insoluble;
[0080] The structure of the prepared thermosetting plastic CPIVA was characterized and tested by FTIR and TG. The results showed that 2277 cm -1 The disappearance of the -N=N- stretching vibration peak at 100 nm indicates that there is almost no unreacted MDI-TAD in CPIVA, indicating that the conversion efficiency of MDI-TAD in the system is very high ( Fig. 9c). The thermogravimetric (TG) curve has a decomposition peak at 105°C, which is attributed to the covalent bond exchange of TAD-indole at high temperature ( Fig. 9 d). At the same time, the DSC curve of CPIVA shows an obvious glass transition peak at 90°C, further indicating that CPIVA is a thermosetting plastic ( Fig.10 b).
[0081] The click reaction between indole and TAD is competitive. TAD first reacts with the C2 position of indole without destroying the aromaticity of indole. The slight change in the fluorescence intensity of the polymer solution ( Fig. 9 e) and the retention of UV absorption peaks before and after cross-linking ( Fig.10 a) to confirm.
[0082] The uniaxial tensile test of CPIVA showed that the mechanical properties of CPIVA were significantly enhanced due to covalent crosslinking ( Fig. 9 f). The dynamic net effect shows a significant increase in tensile strength by about 2 times, from σPIVA = 26 MPa to σCPIVA-12.5 = 57 MPa. However, the covalent crosslinking restricts the mobility of the polymer chains, which is manifested in a slight increase in elongation at break (from 200% to 243%). In addition, the tensile toughness is significantly increased by 2.5 times, from 45.1 MJ m -3 Increased to 109MJ m -3 ( Fig. 9 g). This room temperature rapid click cross-linking method provides a controllable and simple operation method for constructing thermosetting plastics while ensuring the mechanical properties of the material.
[0083] Add different proportions of MDI-TAD to prepare CPIVA-x, and measure the mechanical properties of different CPIVA-x. Fig.15 The results showed that the mechanical properties of CPIVA plastics with different MDI-TAD ratios were much higher than those of PIVA films. Uniaxial tensile tests showed that the mechanical properties of CPIVA plastics were significantly enhanced due to covalent crosslinking. This room temperature rapid click crosslinking method provides a controllable and simple operation method for constructing thermosetting plastics while ensuring the mechanical properties of the material.
[0084] 3. Recycling of Thermosetting Plastics
[0085] First, CPIVA-12.5 plastic (6 cm × 3 cm, 0.05 mm thick) was immersed in liquid culture medium of E. coli. Changes in CPIVA-12.5 plastic were monitored by recording the macroscopic phenomena of the liquid culture medium and performing an indole positive test ( Fig.11). The indole positive test results showed that as the cutting progressed, indole groups gradually appeared in the liquid culture medium. Compared with the CPIVA-12.5 plastic, the residual plastic in the liquid culture medium showed a surprising dissolution phenomenon after about 50 days of reaction ( Fig.12 ).
[0086] The above liquid culture medium and residual plastic were characterized. Fig.13 a shows the UV absorption spectra of the liquid culture medium in the absence and presence of CPIVA-12.5 plastic. The liquid culture medium after cutting CPIVA-12.5 plastic produced a strong UV absorption peak at 256nm, which is an obvious π-π* transition absorption peak of the indole group ( Fig.13 a). In addition, the fluorescence spectrum also shows a strong fluorescence emission peak at 338nm ( Fig.13 b) Liquid culture medium 1 H-NMR spectroscopy further revealed the above transformation ( Fig.13 c). The characteristic H in the indole group (ITAD) is marked on the figure. 1 H-NMR spectroscopy showed that the ITAD fragment was cleaved by E. coli from CPIVA-12.5 plastic and dropped into the liquid culture medium.
[0087] The residual plastic was further characterized. First, the fluorescence spectrum of the CPIVA-12.5 plastic before and after cutting was tested. The spectrum clearly showed that the fluorescence intensity at 338nm was significantly reduced ( Fig.13 d), this is because CPIVA-12.5 plastic has a large number of indole luminescent groups. As the E. coli is cut, the indole groups gradually fall off, resulting in a significant decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the plastic. The FTIR spectra of CPIVA-12.5 plastic before and after cutting also obtained the same results ( Fig.13 e). First, the 740 cm-1 -1 The characteristic CH out-of-plane deformation vibration peak at 1600 cm -1 The skeleton vibration of benzene in the indole structure disappears in the residual plastic. In addition, the 1770 cm -1 The characteristic carbonyl stretching vibration peak at 20° disappears in the residual plastic. 1 H-NMR spectrum further revealed the above transformation ( Fig.13 f). 1 H-NMR spectra showed that E. coli cleaved the indole group (ITAD) from the CPIVA-12.5 plastic and dropped it into the liquid culture medium. It is worth noting that this structural transformation is highly consistent with the changes in the liquid culture medium mentioned above.
[0088] The specific bio-tailoring technology for E. coli is described as follows ( Fig.13 g). First, the indole groups in the cross-linked network can be accurately recognized by E. coli and the alkane side chain at the C3 position of the indole can be cut, thereby cutting the cross-linked network into a new linear polymer (NPVA) and an indole group (ITAD) ( Fig.13 g). Meanwhile, ITAD easily separated from CPIVA-12.5 plastic and fell into the liquid medium. NPVA still retained large fragments and floated in the liquid medium. NPVA dissolved in DMSO could be reconstituted into a thin film ( Fig.13 g), and the film still maintains considerable mechanical properties ( Fig.14 ), can be used for plastic packaging materials.
