Description

Polylactic acid capable of being processed at low temperature and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of degradable polylactic acid materials, and particularly relates to polylactic acid capable of being processed at low temperature and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a degradable polymer material synthesized from lactic acid, and can be completely degraded into carbon dioxide and water in natural environment. The PLA with high molecular weight has the advantages of excellent mechanical property, easy processing, good appearance properties of product glossiness, transparency and the like. Therefore, PLA is the most prominent fully biodegradable material in the traditional polymer industry, and is often used to replace some petroleum-based plastics commonly used at present, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc., and is the best material to solve the increasingly serious white pollution problem. At present, in order to respond to the national call and reduce the use of non-degradable plastics, the application prospect of PLA is wider, and the demand of PLA is further expanded.
The synthesis method of high molecular weight PLA is mainly a two-step method, namely, lactide is synthesized by taking lactic acid as a raw material, and Ring-opening Polymerization (ROP) is carried out on the lactide to form the high molecular weight PLA. In the conventional process, meso-lactide in lactide used for synthesizing polylactic acid is generally removed as an impurity, which increases the production cost of PLA.
The PLA articles are often processed by thermal processing. For example, the processing temperature of poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is up to 200 ℃ and the processing temperature of poly (D, L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) is also up to 170 ℃. Due to the hydrolysis sensitivity and thermal degradation of PLA, molecular chain breakage is inevitably accompanied in the high-temperature processing process, and the hydrolytic degradation caused by trace water in the PLA raw material and water vapor in the processing environment can be accelerated. This results in a reduction in the molecular weight of the PLA, a broadening of the molecular weight distribution, with the result that the properties of the PLA article are severely affected. In addition, with the rapid development of 3D printing technology, 3D printing has been expanded from applications such as industrial product manufacturing, personalized therapy, preoperative planning to products in the aspects such as home applications, childhood education applications, and the like, and home 3D printers, 3D printing pens, and the like are becoming popular. PLA as a degradable biosafety material undoubtedly becomes the main raw material for household and educational 3D printing application. However, the high temperature processing characteristics of PLA cause the risk of scalding when used in daily environments such as home, which is a big obstacle to the use of PLA in daily environments such as home.
Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a polylactic acid material having low temperature processability. Kolstad et al (Journal of applied polymer science,1996,62(7):1079-1091) found that, after introducing a small amount of meso-lactide units into PLLA, the amorphous region resulting from the copolymerization of meso-lactide with L-lactide increases the disorder of the molecular arrangement of the copolymer, thereby increasing the melting point (T) of the resulting PLA m ) The PLA can be processed at 150 ℃ to 180 ℃ reduced by 20 ℃ to 50 ℃ compared to PLLA. However, the temperature of 150 ℃ to 180 ℃ is still higher, which is not favorable for further popularization and application of the material. Furthermore, the process is only applicable to PLLA, and forAnother broad class of amorphous polymers, PDLLA, in the PLA class of materials currently lacks the associated studies to lower processing temperatures.

Experimental example 1 melt flow index test
The melt flow index of meso-co-D, L-PLA was measured with a HRZ-400B melt flow Rate tester according to the standard GB/T3682.1-2018. The results of measurements on the samples of examples 1, 6, 8, 9 and 1 are shown in Table 1, wherein the temperature is 100 ℃, 105 ℃, 110 ℃ and 115 ℃ and the load is 2.16 kg.
TABLE 1 melt flow index (MFR) of PDLLA with meso-co-D, L-PLA
Figure BDA0003202875580000091
As can be seen from the data in the table, the MFR values of the samples of each example are significantly improved relative to the PDLLA sample of comparative example 1. The results show that the melt flow index of the copolymer can be obviously increased after the copolymerization of the meso-LA and the D, L-LA, namely, the meso-co-D, L-PLA obtained after the copolymerization of the meso-LA and the D, L-LA can obviously lower the processing temperature compared with the PDLLA.
Secondly, the MFR values of two samples of meso-co-D, L-PLA-11% (example 6), meso-co-D, L-PLA-10% (example 8) and meso-co-D, L-PLA (example 9) having the same ratios of the raw materials used, with higher contents of copolymerized units, were relatively higher. This shows that in the polymerization process of mixed lactide, compared with the one-step heating method, the two-step heating method is more preferable to prepare polylactic acid with more copolymerization units.
Further, when the molar percentages of meso-LA and D, L-LA in the mixed lactide as a raw material were 68% and 32%, respectively, the MFR of the prepared samples (meso-co-D, L-PLA-11%, meso-co-D, L-PLA-10%, and meso-co-D, L-PLA) was increased by a relatively high degree; whereas the molar percentages of meso-LA and D, L-LA in the mixed lactide were 52% and 48%, respectively, the resulting samples (meso-co-D, L-PLA-12%) had relatively low increases in MFR. This shows that in the solution of the invention, the preferred ratio of meso-LA to D, L-LA in the mixed lactide is 68% and 32% in mole percent.
Experimental example 2 example of low temperature processing
The meso-co-D, L-PLA sample prepared in example 1 was subjected to processing detection, and a PDLLA sample was used as a control, and polymer samples were processed by a method combining extrusion and injection molding of a twin-screw extruder, wherein the processing steps are as follows:
PDLLA and meso-co-D, L-PLA granules (granules with the length and the width of less than 5 mm) are placed into a charging barrel of a double-screw extruder, are extruded into the charging barrel of an injection molding machine after being circulated for 3 minutes in the double screw, are subjected to injection molding, are taken out, and are stored at room temperature in a dryer.
Wherein, the specific parameters are compared as follows:
screw temperature: for PDLLA, the screw temperature was 165 ℃; for meso-co-D, L-PLA, the screw temperature is 105 ℃;
injection molding temperature: for PDLLA, the barrel temperature was 165 ℃ and for meso-co-D, L-PLA, the barrel temperature was 105 ℃.
The injection pressure was 180bar, the mold pressure 10bar and the mold temperature 33 ℃.
As can be seen from the above processing examples, the meso-co-D, L-PLA sample of example 1 can be processed at a lower temperature.
As can be seen from the above examples and experimental examples, the novel polylactic acid provided by the present invention has low temperature processing properties. The processing temperature can be reduced from 165 ℃ to 105 ℃ of the PDLLA material. The processing difficulty of the polylactic acid material is greatly reduced, the safety of processing the polylactic acid is improved, the production cost is reduced, the application and the popularization of the polylactic acid material are facilitated, and the polylactic acid material has high application potential.
