Abstract
Description
Preparation method of polycarbonate polyol by organic catalytic non-reversible polycondensation TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of polymer synthesis and depolymerization, in particular to a preparation method of polycarbonate polyol by organic catalytic non-reversible polycondensation. BACKGROUND
[0002] Catalytic polycondensation of polycarbonate polyols is widely used in the preparation of polyurethane materials, and is an important synthesis method. Polycarbonate polyols have excellent hydrolysis resistance, light resistance, oxidation resistance and heat resistance, and can be used to prepare elastomers, paints, coatings or adhesives, and have been widely used in microelectronics, chip packaging, construction, medical and other fields. The traditional synthesis method of polycarbonate polyol requires the use of toxic metal organic solvents, which has caused certain impact on the environment. Therefore, the research on catalytic polycondensation of polycarbonate polyols has attracted widespread attention.
[0003] At present, some important achievements have been made in the research on catalytic polycondensation of polycarbonate polyols. First of all, the research on catalyst is the key. Researchers have found that different types of catalysts have different catalytic effects on the synthesis of polycarbonate polyols. Commonly used catalysts include organic metal compounds, ionic liquids and biological catalysts [Dazhong Fertilizer. 2022, 45, 128-132]. Second, the optimization of reaction conditions is an important factor to improve the synthesis efficiency and product quality. Researchers have realized the high selectivity and high yield synthesis of polycarbonate polyols by adjusting the reaction temperature, time, catalyst dosage and other conditions. In addition, some novel catalyst design and reaction mechanism research also provide new ideas and methods for the catalytic polycondensation of polycarbonate polyols.
[0004] However, there are still some challenges and problems in the catalytic polycondensation of polycarbonate polyols at present. The key to the synthesis of polycarbonate polyols is the selection of catalysts, among which organic titanium compounds are the most studied catalysts, such as tetrabutyl titanate (Ti(OC4H9)4) [Polymer Materials Science and Engineering, 2010, 26, 12-15], titanium isopropyl titanate (Ti(OC3H7)4) and titanium acetylacetone (Ti(acac)4) [Polymer Materials Science and Engineering. 2011, 27, 8-10] have been reported, but due to the residual metal catalyst, it cannot be used in high value-added fields, including microelectronics industry, chip packaging, construction, medical and other fields, therefore, the development of new organic catalysts is still the focus of current research. First of all, the stability and life of the catalyst are the key to its application, some catalysts are easy to deactivate during long-term use, and need to be further improved and optimized. How to improve the selectivity and yield of the reaction is also one of the focuses of current research. TECHNICAL PROBLEM
