Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polyolefin materials technology. Specifically, this invention relates to a recyclable polymer and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Polar polyolefins are a class of high-performance materials designed by introducing functional groups containing heteroatoms (such as oxygen and nitrogen) into the traditional polyolefin polymer chain. This molecular-level chemical modification strategy effectively improves the comprehensive properties of polyolefin materials, including mechanical strength, interfacial compatibility, and adhesion, thereby significantly broadening their application scenarios and achieving multifunctionality. Therefore, the controllable and efficient introduction of polar functional groups into the polyolefin chain has always been a core research topic and challenge in the field of polyolefin materials science. Current research focuses on two synthetic routes: post-modification and polar monomer-olefin copolymerization, mainly to prepare side-chain polar polyolefins. For example, polyolefin elastomers (POEs), after free radical grafting, can be used as photovoltaic encapsulation films, which can effectively enhance the sealing performance and long-term weather resistance of solar modules, significantly extending their service life; ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH), with their excellent gas barrier properties (especially against oxygen), excellent dyeability, and good print adhesion, have important value in high-requirement fields such as food and pharmaceutical packaging.
[0003] Polar polyolefins possess excellent properties and a wide range of applications, but these characteristics also present significant challenges to their recycling: the complex composition of post-consumer waste materials leads to low efficiency in physical separation and mechanical recycling. More critically, their polymer backbone structure is essentially composed of inert carbon-carbon bonds, lacking controllable breakage sites, making efficient and selective chemical recycling, especially closed-loop recycling, difficult. The increasing global consumption of polar polyolefins has exacerbated the problem of waste accumulation. Therefore, establishing an efficient and sustainable polar polyolefin recycling technology system has become a crucial scientific and engineering challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of materials circular economy.
[0004] Currently, there have been a few breakthrough reports on methods for achieving closed-loop recycling of polar polyolefins, but it remains a huge challenge. Mecking et al. synthesized recyclable polyesters from bio-based palm oil, but the monomers are expensive, which is not conducive to large-scale industrial production. Tang et al. synthesized telechelic polyolefins with one hydroxyl end and one ester end through coordination chain transfer polymerization, achieving closed-loop recycling of ester-linked polyolefins, but their performance is lower than that of commercially available polar polyolefins.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a recyclable polar polyolefin material with controllable degradation sites and high utilization rate of telechelic macromolecular monomers, as well as a method for its preparation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the difficulty in degrading traditional polyolefins in the prior art, and to provide a recyclable polymer and its preparation method.
