Description

Preparation method of thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane, belonging to the field of high molecular compounds.
Background
Cellulose (Cellulose) is a high molecular compound with the largest yield in nature, 50-70% of the components of the cell wall of higher plants are Cellulose, and organisms or metabolites such as some animals (such as tunicates), bacteria and the like also contain a large amount of Cellulose. According to statistics, the annual output of cellulose in the world currently exceeds 2000 million tons, and the cellulose is one of natural high polymer materials developed and utilized earlier by human beings, and has a plurality of excellent properties such as renewability, biodegradability, derivatizability, no toxicity and the like. The molecular weight of the natural cellulose is large, the molecular structure contains a large amount of hydroxyl, a large amount of intramolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular hydrogen bonds can be formed through self-assembly, and the strong intermolecular action ensures that the cellulose is decomposed before melting, namely the natural cellulose has no melting behavior. The molding of cellulose can not be realized by using the advantages of high production efficiency, strong designability of product shape, mature process and the like of thermoplastic molding processing, so that most of cellulose can not be well developed and utilized. Therefore, the utilization of the cellulose can be effectively improved by developing the thermoplastic cellulose, so that the dilemma that the traditional petroleum-based polymer material is not renewable and degradable is hopefully solved, and the thermoplastic cellulose has high development value.
Research has shown that cellulose can exhibit thermoplasticity under strong physical action. As early as 2005, Schroeter Johannes et al reported a method of melt-flowing cellulose, and according to the authors, under pressure, shear force and laser irradiation, satin-like fibers in cotton linters disappeared, indicating that melt-flowing of cellulose occurred (Schroeter Johannes et al cellulose,12(2005): 159-. Subsequently, Zhang et al have found that thermoplastic flow of previously ball-milled cellulose powders can be achieved by specific shearing actions (back pressure-equal channel angular pressure) at relatively low temperatures (150 ℃) to form continuous thermoplastic materials with significantly reduced crystallinity (Xiaoming Zhang et al carbohydrate Polymers,87(2012): 2470-. The intense physical action can enable the cellulose to generate melt flow to a certain extent, but the reported physical method has some defects, such as stronger physical action, higher requirement on processing equipment and potential safety hazard; strong physical effects require a large amount of energy consumption; in addition, the above mentioned physical actions require severe conditions and the whole process is difficult to control, which makes it reported that the physical measures for achieving melt flow of cellulose are difficult to industrialize.
Furthermore, with the discovery of cellulosic proton inert solvents, reports on the melt processing of cellulose by the preparation of cellulose derivatives have also been generated in response, such as Zhang et al dissolving cellulose in ionic liquids (1-allyl-3-methylimidazole chloride), cellulose grafted L-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate grafted polylactic acid (YIHAo L uranet al. Cellulose,20(2013), 327. Cellulose,21(2014), 2369. 2378. and cellulose esters containing hard/soft side chains (Zhangyan chemical Chemistry. ACS Sustaininavailable & Engineering,6(2018), 6. 1. 4939. through optical microscopy observation, it was found that cellulose derivatives produced can significantly melt flow during elevated temperatures, in addition, cellulose derivatives prepared by the methods of ionic modification have been found to have a higher cost than cellulose derivatives prepared by the conventional methods of ionic modification of cellulose esters, such as DMAC, cellulose derivatives are still available in the melt processing of cellulose, such as cellulose derivatives under the conditions of the melt modification of cellulose, such as DMSO, cellulose derivatives are not disclosed in the industry, but have been effectively popularized in the melt processing of cellulose derivatives under the conditions of cellulose polymers of DMSO, such as DMAc, cellulose derivatives under the temperature-ionic modification of DMSO, cellulose derivatives under the current industrial processes, and the cost report that the ionic modification of DMSO (DMAc) is lower than under the ionic modification of cellulose derivatives produced by the Zhangyan-ionic modification of DMSO industries, the methods of DMSO industries, the cellulose derivatives under the methods of DMSO industries, the cellulose derivatives, the methods, the cellulose derivatives produced by the methods of DMSO industries, the DMAc, the methods of the cellulose derivatives under the methods of the ionic modification of the methods of the cellulose derivatives under the ionic modification of the.
Cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose propionate, etc., which have been commercialized at present, can melt flow in a narrow temperature range, so many researches have been made to improve the melt processing behavior of cellulose by using a plasticizing means, such as ethylene glycol, glycerol, etc., as a plasticizer, which can effectively improve the processability of cellulose derivatives. Izabela cielca et al plasticize hydroxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethylcellulose made from bacterial cellulose with glycerol, and studies have shown that the processing behavior of cellulose derivatives can be improved and the flexibility of the resulting cellulose composite material can be improved by the plasticization effect of glycerol (Izabela cielca et al cellulose,26(2019): 5409-. In addition, due to the strong swelling and dissolving capacity of the ionic liquid to cellulose, the ionic liquid is also an ideal plasticizer for cellulose, and Chinese patents CN 104163943A and CN 104194059A report that the ionic liquid is used as the plasticizer to prepare thermoplastic cellulose materials. The Xiaolin Xie research team also prepared thermoplastic cellulose using ionic liquids as plasticizers and prepared cellulose samples by injection molding, and performance test analysis showed that the properties of thermoplastic cellulose materials were related to the ionic liquid content of the materials (Jun Wu et al cellulose,22(2014): 89-99.). Plasticization enables melt-forming of cellulose, but the aggregation state of cellulose in the resulting material remains highly controversial, and the use of large amounts of plasticizer makes stability of the material in use difficult to ensure, e.g., plasticizer migration affects the useful life of the resulting cellulosic material.
In summary, in the currently reported thermoplastic cellulose, a barrier of high energy consumption and high equipment requirement exists in the strong physical action; the stability of the product is difficult to ensure by using the plasticizer; the homogeneous method for preparing the thermoplastic cellulose derivative needs to use a large amount of expensive aprotic solvent, so the cost is higher and the production efficiency is lower. There are still significant challenges to making thermoplastic cellulose.

TABLE 2 Effect of monomer ratios on thermoplastic cellulose graft polyurethane Properties
Figure BDA0002275072710000081
Comparing the data in table 2, it can be found that the content of PEG in the polymerization system has a significant influence on the performance of the thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane, and when the amount of substance AGU/PEG is 1/18, the amount of monomer participating in the reaction is too small, so that the branched chain in the grafted product is shorter, the reaction is more uneven, and the thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane has no significant thermoplastic flow under OM and poor flexibility; as the PEG content increases, the resulting thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane exhibits significant thermoplastic flow at OM and the melting temperature gradually decreases.

The comparative example shows that the chemical grafting is difficult to be directly carried out by taking the microcrystalline cellulose as a reaction monomer because the molecular chains of the microcrystalline cellulose are regularly stacked, have higher crystallinity and have stronger capacity of resisting chemical reagents; after the microcrystalline cellulose is prepared into the aerogel, although the cellulose precursor is loose and porous macroscopically, a large number of molecular chains are recrystallized microscopically, so that the chemical grafting is difficult to be carried out efficiently; when micromolecular ethylene glycol is used as a grafting monomer, the molecular weight of the ethylene glycol is too small, so that branched chains grafted on cellulose are short, and the performance of the obtained cellulose grafted polyurethane is not satisfactory; the thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane with good flexibility and high transparency can be prepared only by grafting polyurethane on cellulose by taking the regenerated cellulose/PEG gel containing PEG as a reaction monomer.
As can be seen from the data in tables 1 to 3, after dissolving cellulose in sodium hydroxide solution and regenerating with liquid polyethylene glycol (PEG), PEG can act as a transient spacer structure to prevent the reestablishment of hydrogen bonds between cellulose molecular chains and within the molecules, so that a large amount of-OH in cellulose is exposed to chemical environment to participate in chemical reaction. Then, the PEG is chemically bonded on the cellulose by flexible Hexamethylene Diisocyanate (HDI) to form a Polyurethane (PU) side chain, so that the hydrogen bond reconstruction in the cellulose can be permanently isolated, and the movement of the cellulose chain is not bound by the hydrogen bond any more, namely, thermoplasticity is shown; the PU side chain changes the regular arrangement of the cellulose, so that the cellulose is converted from high crystallization to amorphous, and the obtained cellulose grafted polyurethane material has high transparency; in addition, the high-flexibility straight-chain PU side chain plays a toughening role in a semi-rigid cellulose system, so that the prepared cellulose grafted polyurethane material has high elongation at break and excellent flexibility.
According to the invention, polyurethane is grafted on a cellulose molecular chain under the condition of not using an expensive aprotic solvent, so that the movement capability of the cellulose molecular chain in a thermal field is improved, and the thermoplastic cellulose grafted polyurethane material with low melting temperature, good flexibility and high transparency is prepared. The preparation process has the advantages of simple process, low equipment requirement, low production cost and environmental protection. The upper and lower limits and interval values of the raw materials and the upper and lower limits and interval values of the process parameters can all realize the invention, and examples are not listed here.
