The invention provides an unsaturated aliphatic ester grafted
polylactic acid copolymer, which has a structure shown in the following general formula, R1, R2,... and Rn are respectively and independently selected from H or # imgabs 0 #, R is a C1-C6 substituted or unsubstituted
alkyl group, and the number of R1, R2,... and Rn which is a # imgabs 1 # group accounts for not less than 25 mol% of the total amount of R1, R2,... and Rn. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly copolymerizing unsaturated aliphatic ester and L-
lactide, then pre-polymerizing at low temperature to obtain HEM-LLA
oligomer, and finally polymerizing at high temperature to obtain the
copolymer with high molecular weight. More unsaturated aliphatic ester polar groups are successfully introduced on a
side chain of
polylactic acid through
grafting reaction, so that the
toughness, elongation at break and
glass transition temperature of the
polylactic acid material are improved, and the product is green and can be fully biodegraded. # imgabs2 #
