The invention discloses polyethersulfone with low yellowness and narrow molecular
weight distribution and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of polyethersulfone. According to the technical scheme, the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding
bisphenol S, 4, 4 '-dichlorodiphenyl
sulfone,
sodium dodecyl sulfate, a salt-forming agent and a
water diversion agent into N-methyl pyrrolidone, introducing protective gas, heating to 120-150 DEG C, and carrying out heat preservation reaction for 1-3 hours; when the
water extraction amount reaches a theoretical value, continuously heating to 160-200 DEG C, and keeping the temperature for 2-5 hours to obtain a polyethersulfone resin
polymer solution; cooling to 60-150 DEG C, and then carrying out an end-capping reaction for 1-4 hours to obtain an end-capped polyethersulfone resin
polymer solution; and cooling to 60-80 DEG C, filtering, adding an
organic acid, adjusting the pH value to 4.5-5, stirring, and after
sodium dodecyl sulfate is completely separated out, carrying out post-treatment to obtain the low-yellowness narrow-molecular-weight-distribution polyethersulfone resin. The polyethersulfone is low in
small molecule content and narrow in molecular
weight distribution, and application of the polyethersulfone in downstream injection molding products is facilitated.
