Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of polymer polymerization, and relates to (meth)acrylate polymers derived from biomass and non-biomass sources and their polymerization processes. Specifically, it relates to a method for polymerizing (meth)acrylate monomers derived from biomass and non-biomass sources under the synergistic regulation of a thiourea anion containing an S nucleophilic center without hydrogen bond participation and a Lewis acid. Background Art

[0002] In many branches of the polymer industry, monomers based on (meth)acrylates derived from biomass and non-biomass sources play a crucial role as materials for polymer films, paints, sealants, coatings, and various adhesives used in modern technological processes. Anionic polymerization is an efficient living / controlled polymerization method widely used in the polymerization of (meth)acrylate monomers, with great potential and value in industrial applications.

[0003] In 1995, Haddleton et al. reported the preparation of homopolymers and various block copolymers of lauryl methacrylate (LMA) derived from biomass using a triisobutylaluminum / tert-butyllithium initiating system. By anionic polymerization in a triisobutylaluminum / tert-butyllithium system, a narrow molecular weight distribution PLMA-b-PMMA block copolymer (M n = 14.3 kg / mol, D = 1.20, I * = 113%) was synthesized in toluene as a solvent at near ambient temperature. In 1996, the H.E. Müller research group polymerized MMA at room temperature using a tert-butyllithium / 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenoxy-bis(diisobutyl)aluminum (tBuLi / iBu2Al(BHT)) catalytic system. The monomer conversion reached 93.4%, and the resulting polymer had a relatively wide molecular weight distribution with a molecular weight of 8.50 kg / mol higher than the theoretical molecular weight (5.02 kg / mol), and the stereoregularity of the polymer was syndiotactic. In 2004, Inoue et al. initiated the anionic polymerization of tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) using a combination of a potassium tert-butoxide / triisobutylaluminum (tBuOK / iBu3Al) system and controlled the polymerization in terms of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The resulting polymer had a molecular weight of 20.0 - 80.0 kg / mol, much larger than the theoretical molecular weight (6.4 - 19.2 kg / mol), and the polymer had a narrow molecular weight distribution In the study of anionic polymerization, the initiator mainly undergoes a Michael addition reaction between the C anion as the nucleophilic center and the polar double bond of the monomer, thereby initiating the polymerization reaction. In 2020, we invented a method to polymerize methyl methacrylate (MMA) to prepare poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using a thiourea anion with a hydrogen bond as the initiator alone (Patent No. ZL2020115928009). However, due to the too low activation degree of the monomer by the single hydrogen bond interaction, the reaction has a long induction period, resulting in poor controllability and conversion rate for the polymerization of MMA with a dosage higher than 200 equivalents. Subsequently, in 2022, based on the previous work, we introduced an organoaluminum Lewis acid as a co-catalyst to participate in the polymerization reaction of MMA, and obtained PMMA with a relatively high molecular weight (Patent No. ZL2022110155840). Although this system can prepare PMMA with a narrow molecular weight distribution under the premise of a high monomer feed amount, the actual molecular weight of the obtained polymer deviates far from the theoretical molecular weight, resulting in too low initiation efficiency. Subsequently, in 2023, we changed the organoaluminum Lewis acid to an organoboron Lewis acid, which improved the polymerization initiation efficiency of the system (Patent Application No. 2023105523156). In this work, we found that eliminating the N-H structure in the thiourea anion, that is, eliminating the hydrogen bond interaction between the anion and the monomer, has a positive effect on the polymerization reaction. Therefore, in this work, we used a thiourea anion without a hydrogen bond as the initiator and paired it with an organoaluminum Lewis acid for polymerization research. This system is a further improvement and expansion of the previous invention. Compared with the previous system, the current system has the following advantages: 1. By eliminating the hydrogen bond interaction between the N-H group of the initiator and the monomer, the activation mode of the monomer is unified and improved, that is, only the organoaluminum Lewis acid is used to activate the monomer, greatly improving the controllability of the polymerization; 2. Realized the living / controlled preparation of homopolymers, eliminated side reactions, and further enabled high-equivalent homopolymerization and copolymerization reactions; 3. The monomer range was expanded to monomers from biomass sources, realizing the controlled homopolymerization and copolymerization of such compounds, laying a foundation for the research on the production of high molecular materials with different properties.

[0004] Specific comparison data are shown in the following table. Under the same conditions, taking 200 equivalents of MMA as an example:

[0035]

[0036] The aggregation mechanism is i Bimolecular catalytic activation mode involving BuAl(BHT)2. i BuAl(BHT)2 generates two complexes: 1 mol i BuAl(BHT)2 and 1 mol TUA′-2 form an “ate” complex, and another 1 mol i BuAl(BHT)2 activates MMA through complexation, making the activated monomer more susceptible to TUA′-2 / i The nucleophilic attack of the "ate" complex of BuAl(BHT)2(1:1). And after a monomer is inserted, i A new "ate" complex is formed between the BuAl(BHT)2 molecule and the growing chain end. i The BuAl(BHT)2 molecule is released and can reactivate a new MMA monomer. The molecular weight (18.6-56.3 kg / mol) of the polymer obtained by this polymerization system is close to the theoretical molecular weight (10.2-40.3 kg / mol), and the molecular weight distribution is narrow (1.10-1.14).

[0037] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0038] (1) The present invention utilizes the synergistic effect of Lewis acid and thiourea anion containing S negative nucleophilic center without hydrogen bond regulation to initiate biomass-derived and non-biomass-derived (meth)acrylate (co)polymerization reaction, and the molecular weight of the obtained biomass-derived or non-biomass-derived poly (meth)acrylate polymer is in the range of 3200 to 260000 g / mol, the molecular weight distribution D is 1.10 to 1.27, and the monomer conversion rate is as high as 100%. The raw materials of the initiation system are cheap and easy to obtain, the catalyst is highly stable and easy to store, and the reaction controllability is good, so that low-cost and large-scale industrial production can be achieved.

[0039] (2) After eliminating the N-H structure on the thiourea anion in the present invention, that is, after eliminating the hydrogen bond interaction between the anion N-H structure and the monomer, the induction period of the polymerization reaction is significantly shortened in the presence of organoaluminum Lewis acid, and there is no occurrence of side reactions such as "backbiting" at the active chain end of the obtained polymer; the catalytic system can prepare polymers with molecular weights closer to the theoretical molecular weights, and the reaction conditions are mild with high conversion rates;

[0049] To further understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] Using TUA'-2 as an anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect, different Lewis acids are used to polymerize (meth)acrylate monomers from biomass sources or non-biomass sources. The different Lewis acids selected in this specific embodiment are i BuAl(BHT)2, i Bu2AlBHT, i Bu3Al, MeAl(BHT)2, and the selected (meth)acrylate is MMA.

[0052] During the feeding process of the polymerization reaction, the Lewis acid ( i BuAl(BHT)2, i Bu2AlBHT, i Bu3Al, MeAl(BHT)2), MMA and TUA'-2 are mixed and stirred. The specific operations are as follows:

[0053] The polymerization reaction is carried out in a glove box. MMA is taken and mixed with i BuAl(BHT)2, i Bu2AlBHT, i Bu3Al, MeAl(BHT)2 respectively, and a certain amount of toluene is added, and then TUA'-2 is added. Maintain [M]0 = 3.2 M or 4.8 M; the polymerization reaction time is set according to the time in Table 1, and the polymerization temperature is room temperature (the temperature under non-room temperature is separately marked and explained in Table 1);

[0054] After the reaction is completed; take 0.1 mL of the reaction solution, and use deuterated chloroform for 1 1H NMR test to obtain the conversion rate. Outside the glove box, methanol containing 5% HCl is added to the reaction solution to terminate the reaction, and then the polymer is washed with a large amount of methanol and placed in an oven at 40 °C to dry to a constant weight. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer are measured by gel permeation chromatography.

[0055] As shown in Table 1 below, different catalytic results are obtained when using TUA′-2 as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect and different Lewis acids.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] TUA′-2 was used as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect and was combined with i BuAl(BHT)2 as the Lewis acid to conduct experiments and calculations on the initiation efficiency of bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). This example was to verify the reaction rate or the time required to complete 100% conversion, and at the same time, judge whether the polymerization reaction was a linear controlled polymerization based on the data.

[0060] The polymerization reaction was carried out in a glove box. MMA monomer, i BuAl(BHT)2 and TUA′-2 were pipetted and mixed; after all the reaction raw materials were mixed, timing started, and samples were taken at regular intervals until the reaction ended. 5% HCl-containing methanol was added to the reaction solution to terminate the reaction, and then the polymer was washed with a large amount of methanol and placed in an oven to dry to a constant weight at 40 °C. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography.

[0061] Using TUA′-2 as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect and using i BuAl(BHT)2 as the Lewis acid, the results obtained by sampling at intervals during the catalysis of MMA are summarized in Table 2.

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] This example was to detect whether the polymerization increased linearly with time. Based on the obtained data for analysis, a linear graph as shown in Figure 1 (a) was obtained. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography, and a GPC curve graph as shown in Figure 1 (b) was obtained. A conversion rate of 28.54% at 6 min indicated a relatively high initiation efficiency, and at this time, 28.54% of the monomers had polymerized; as the reaction time increased, the conversion rate continuously increased.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Using TUA′-2 as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect, paired with i BuAl(BHT)2 as the Lewis acid for gradient homopolymerization of MMA, and detecting the controllability of the polymerization system.

[0068] The polymerization reaction was carried out in a glove box, maintaining the molar ratio of TUA′-2 and i BuAl(BHT)2 at 1:2. Homopolymerization reactions of 100 equivalents, 200 equivalents, 300 equivalents, and 400 equivalents of MMA were carried out in parallel. The polymerization reaction was carried out at room temperature in a toluene solution. The obtained polymerization results are summarized in Table 3:

[0069] Table 3 Data of polymerizing different equivalents of MMA in the TUA′-2 / i BuAl(BHT)2 system

[0070]

[0071] In this example, it was detected whether the polymerization controllability increased linearly with the change of the monomer feed amount. According to the obtained data for analysis, the linear graph as shown in Figure 2 was obtained. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography, and the GPC curve graph as shown in Figure 3 was obtained.

[0072] Example 4

[0073] Using TUA′-2 as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation effect, paired with i BuAl(BHT)2 as the Lewis acid for the synthesis and characterization of low-equivalent polymers of MMA. The polymerization reaction was carried out in a glove box. The molar ratio of MMA, TUA′-2, and i BuAl(BHT)2 was 30:1:2. The polymerization reaction was carried out at 25 °C in a toluene solution until the reaction ended. 5% HCl-containing methanol was added to the reaction solution to terminate the reaction. Subsequently, the polymer was washed with a large amount of methanol and placed in an oven at 40 °C to dry to a constant weight. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the obtained polymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography, and the molecular weight was 3500 g / mol, and the molecular weight distribution D = 1.12. The obtained low-molecular-weight polymer was tested by MALDI-TOF-MS. As shown in Figure 4 and the analysis results are as shown in Figure 5 , indicating that the polymerization reaction obtained a linear polymer. The obtained low-molecular-weight polymer was also tested by infrared spectroscopy and 13 13C NMR. The results are as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, indicating that a sulfur atom serves as the nucleophilic central atom to initiate polymerization.

[0074] Example 5

[0075] Under the condition of toluene as the solvent, TUA′-2 is used as the anion without hydrogen bond regulation, and i BuAl(BHT)2 is used for the copolymerization of MMA and lauryl methacrylate (LMA).

[0076] The polymerization reaction is carried out in a glove box. Under the condition of toluene as the solvent, MMA, LMA, i BuAl(BHT)2 and TUA′-2 are transferred. Among them, the molar ratio of TUA′-2, i BuAl(BHT)2, MMA, and LMA is 1:2:100:100; the reaction is carried out for 120 min at a polymerization temperature of 25 °C. After the reaction, methanol containing 5% HCl is added to the reaction solution to terminate the reaction. Subsequently, the polymer is washed with a large amount of methanol and dried in an oven at 40 °C to constant weight.
