A kind of preparation method of polycaprolactone
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of polycaprolactone, is to be related to a kind of metallic halid catalyst in oneself specifically
The method that ester body or polymerisation in solution prepare polycaprolactone.
Background technology
Polycaprolactone as biodegradable Environmentally-friepolymer polymer material, be just increasingly subject to people extensive concern and
Pay attention to, be widely used in the fields such as bio-medical material, medicine and environmental protection, for example operation suture thread, tissue engineering bracket,
Bone renovating material, medicine controlled release carrier and biodegradable plastic etc..
At present, the synthesis of polycaprolactone is mainly by metal complex catalysts, such as tin, aluminium, rare earth metal and
Some transition metal etc., are catalyzed caprolactone ring-opening polymerization to realize under body or solution condition.However, catalyst is complicated
Preparation process, high cost, the last handling process of required severe reaction conditions and complexity brings difficult and challenge to production.
A kind of method that seeking simple, cheap and high activity catalysis material is used to synthesize polycaprolactone has potential commercial Application valency
Value.
The method that Chinese patent 201510488607.3 discloses a kind of iron powder/halides catalyzed preparation of poly caprolactone, but
Temperature (90~120 DEG C) higher, time needed for reaction is (12~48 hours) more long.In addition, organic metal tin is used also as urging
Agent prepares polycaprolactone, and Chinese patent 201210246621.9 is disclosed makees catalyst with organic metal tin, and epoxides is made
Reaction temperature needed for initiator is obtained polycaprolactone, but the system is higher, up to 120-190 DEG C.
Therefore, the weak point that the technique of catalysis caprolactone ring-opening polymerisation at present is present, develops a kind of mild condition, effect
The polycaprolactone preparation method that rate is high, properties of product are high has great importance.
The content of the invention
It is an object of the invention to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, there is provided a kind of preparation method of polycaprolactone.
To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
A kind of preparation method of polycaprolactone, comprises the following steps:With 6-caprolactone as monomer, metal halide is catalysis
Agent, adds initiator, is obtained using the method for polymerisation in bulk or polymerisation in solution under conditions of being 20~100 DEG C in reaction temperature and gathered
Caprolactone, scrubbed, precipitation and vacuum drying obtain polycaprolactone, wherein:The mol ratio of monomer and initiator for 200~
2000:1, initiator is 1~5 with the mol ratio of catalyst:1, polymerization time is 2~12 hours.
In above-mentioned polycaprolactone preparation method, described initiator is preferably phenmethylol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, isopropyl
One kind in alcohol, n-butyl alcohol, benzyl carbinol, expoxy propane, 1,2- 7-oxa-bicyclo[4.1.0s.
In above-mentioned polycaprolactone preparation method, described catalyst is preferably FeCl3、FeCl2、FeBr3、Fe
(ClO4)3、MgCl2、ZnCl2、AlCl3、MgBr2With the one kind in CuI.
In above-mentioned polycaprolactone preparation method, preferred reaction temperature is 40~80 DEG C, and monomer rubs with initiator
You are than being 500~1000:1.Initiator is 1~2 with the mol ratio of catalyst:1.
In above-mentioned polycaprolactone preparation method, the solvent used in the polymerisation in solution preferably toluene, dimethylbenzene,
One kind in dichloromethane, dichloroethanes and chloroform.
The present invention has the advantages that compared with prior art:
(1) metal halide used by the present invention is industrially readily available, low cost.
(2) the metallic halid catalyst system used by the present invention is more suitable for industrial production polycaprolactone, it is to avoid in oneself
Ester, inert gas shielding etc. are operated.
(3) catalysis activity of the catalyst used by the present invention is high, good product performance, and the molecular weight of polycaprolactone is high, molecule
Amount branch is narrow, reaction condition is gentle.
Specific embodiment
The present invention is illustrated with following examples, but protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the model that embodiment is represented
Enclose.
