Description

Thermoplastic cellulose ester derivative and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of high molecular compounds, and particularly relates to a cellulose ester derivative and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The modern society faces two problems of environmental pollution and resource shortage, on one hand, the waste plastic products seriously pollute soil and ocean resources, and on the other hand, the shortage of petroleum resources hinders the economic development. Therefore, the search for renewable resources to replace petroleum resources is one of the most important issues at present.
Cellulose (Cellulose) is a natural polymer material with the most abundant yield on the earth, is low in price and has excellent performances of regeneration, biodegradation and the like. The cellulose is formed by connecting D-glucose structural units (AGU) through beta-1,4-bonds, and each repeating unit is provided with three hydroxyl groups (-OH), so that cellulose molecular chains can form a large number of strong intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bond network structures, and due to the existence of the hydrogen bond network and the regular chain structure of the cellulose, the cellulose has extremely high crystallinity, and the cellulose cannot be dissolved in common solvents and cannot be melted, so that the cellulose is difficult to process in a traditional mode.
The current research on melt processing of cellulose is mainly divided into physical and chemical methods, and recent research is mainly focused on chemical modification methods because physical methods require high energy and are not ideal.
The chemical modification is to substitute hydroxyl groups on the cellulose into other groups so as to destroy the hydrogen bonding network and the crystal structure of the cellulose, such as Cellulose Acetate (CA), cellulose Nitrate (NC) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) which have already been prepared in industrial production systems. Although cellulose esters formed by small-group substitution can be dissolved in common solvents, they cannot be processed by conventional methods due to a too narrow processing window. And the hydroxyl on the cellulose is replaced by a larger and longer side chain, so that the content of the hydroxyl can be reduced, the molecular chain of the cellulose can be isolated, the hydrogen bond can be reduced, and the crystal structure can be damaged. In addition, the side chain can also endow the cellulose with other performances except meltability, thereby enlarging the application range of the cellulose and improving the utilization rate. However, limited by the low reactivity of cellulose, finding a general method for efficiently preparing cellulose ester derivatives in a green color has become a major and difficult point of research on the application problems of cellulose nowadays.
Cellulose was dissolved in N, N' -dimethylacetamide/lithium chloride (DMAc/LiCl) by Kevin j. Edgar et al as early as 1998, and cellulose fatty acid esters of various degrees of substitution and side chain lengths were prepared by reacting fatty acid chlorides with cellulose under homogeneous conditions using 4-pyrrolidinopyridine (PP) and Dicyclohexyldiimide (DCC) as catalysts. Research shows that the prepared Cellulose fatty acid ester can be dissolved in nonpolar solvents such as chloroform, and the long-chain side group has plasticizing effect on Cellulose (Kevin J. Edgar, et al. ACS Symposium series Vol.688: cellulose Derivatives,1998,38-60.). In addition to the DMAc/LiCl described above, ionic liquids (Raj K.Singh, et al, journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry,2015, 24.
Tuomas Kulomaa et al placed the pulp crumb in pyridine at 100 ℃ and soaked for 1h, then added the suspension into toluene solution containing unsaturated fatty acid chloride, stirred and reacted for 2-3 days at 90-100 ℃ in homogeneous solution system, and finally purified to obtain cellulose unsaturated fatty acid ester. The results show that the unsaturated fatty acid-modified cellulose derivative exhibits stronger thermal stability and a glass transition temperature (Tg) in the range of 104 to 119 ℃ than cellulose. In addition, the cellulose ester derivative also shows excellent hydrophobicity and mechanical properties, which provides possibility for practical application of the cellulose unsaturated fatty acid ester derivative (T.Kulomaa, J, et al.RSC Advances,5 (2015) 80702-80708).
The above examples fully illustrate that bulky side-chain modified cellulose ester derivatives are an effective way to achieve melt processing of cellulose. However, the homogeneous method requires a large amount of solvent, which not only increases the cost, but also causes some environmental damage, and thus a method for preparing cellulose ester in a heterogeneous system needs to be explored.
Huang Zujiang et al (chinese patent CN 103435702B) reported a method for preparing cellulose higher fatty acid esters in a heterogeneous system. The mixture of lauric acid and caprylic acid is used as an esterifying agent, trichloroacetic anhydride is used as a co-reactant, and a relatively ideal cellulose ester product can be prepared by virtue of high-efficiency mixing and high mechanical energy of ball milling. The method can reduce the usage amount of organic solvent in the esterification reaction process and shorten the reaction time; however, the pretreatment of the cellulose before the reaction is required, and the pretreatment time even exceeds the time required for the subsequent esterification reaction step, which seriously affects the efficiency of the reaction.
In addition, with trichloroacetic anhydride as the co-reactant, most of the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chain are replaced by short-chain acetyl groups, and a large amount of long-chain fatty acids cannot be grafted onto the cellulose backbone. Furthermore, there is a document (Huang Lang, et al. ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering,2019,19:1, the highest degree of substitution was obtained, but the problem of imbalance in the long and short chain reactions still existed, in which the degree of substitution of acetyl was 1.67 and the degree of substitution of the long-chain oleic acid side chain was only 0.041. This method is not ideal for obtaining highly substituted cellulose higher fatty acid esters, and further, melt-processable cellulose esters cannot be obtained.
Therefore, the existing research using ball-milling modified cellulose cannot really realize the one-step method for preparing the cellulose derivative with high substitution degree; therefore, there is a need to find a method for more efficiently producing thermoplastic cellulose ester derivatives having a high degree of substitution.

Detailed Description
In the invention, trifluoroacetic anhydride is selected as a coreactant, a substance with carboxyl is selected as an esterifying agent, and the mechanism is as follows: trifluoroacetic anhydride and an esterifying agent generate asymmetric anhydride, and then the asymmetric anhydride reacts with hydroxyl on cellulose; both sides of the asymmetric anhydride may react with cellulose, but the reaction tendency (side reaction direction) on the trifluoroacetic acid side is particularly low, so that cellulose ester mostly using an esterifying agent (main reaction direction) can be produced.
The invention discovers for the first time that when trifluoroacetic anhydride is used as a co-reactant, cellulose trifluoroacetate formed with cellulose in the reaction process is extremely unstable, is easily decomposed under the action of ball milling and is then substituted by a group with larger steric hindrance; the invention utilizes the characteristics that trifluoroacetic anhydride, cellulose and carboxylic acid with different chain lengths and different configurations are used as esterifying agents to directly prepare the high-substitution cellulose ester without trifluoroacetic acid side groups by a one-step method without pretreatment. Therefore, the method can omit the pretreatment step and really realize the one-step method for efficiently preparing the cellulose derivative; and the resulting product has melt characteristics.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which are provided only for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
To illustrate the effects of the examples, the structure of the obtained thermoplastic cellulose stearate was analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectroscopy, and the melting temperature of the thermoplastic cellulose stearate was observed by an Optical Microscope (OM) equipped with a temperature-controlled hot stage. In addition, thermoplastic cellulose grafted stearate was hot-pressed into a film to observe melt characteristics, transparency and flexibility.
The cellulose used in the following examples is: microcrystalline cellulose powder (MCC, 50 μm, aladdin), available from shanghai alatin biochemical science co ltd, has an average Degree of Polymerization (DP) of MCC of 215 as measured by the viscometry according to international standards (ISO 5351.
Example 1

Further, using the product obtained in example 1, a film having a thickness of 300. + -. 20 μm was obtained by hot pressing at 160 ℃ under 10MPa using a plate vulcanizer (BL-6170-B, takara Kogyo precision measuring instruments Co., ltd., china) for a hot pressing duration of 5min. The mechanical properties of the sample strips were further tested using a universal tester, and the results are shown in FIG. 6. As can be seen from FIG. 6 (a), the elongation at break and tensile stress of the samples of 1h to 4h both gradually increased with the increase in the degree of substitution. Probably because the cellulose stearate with high substitution degree has higher content of side chains, the existence of the side chains improves the flexibility of the cellulose on one hand and further improves the elongation at break, and the side chains on the other hand can be tangled and crystallized, so that the tensile stress is improved; FIG. 6 (b) is the Young's modulus and tensile strength of the sample, the Young's modulus gradually decreasing with increasing degree of substitution.
Example 2
0.16g (1 mmol) of cellulose, 0.60g (3 mmol) of Lauric Acid (LA) and 1.26g (6 mmol) of trifluoroacetic anhydride are added into a planetary ball mill and reacted for 4 hours at the rotating speed of 450rpm to obtain a reaction product, the reaction product is fully washed and dried to obtain pure cellulose laurate, and the long-chain substitution degree is 2.96 by using nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectrum characterization.

Example 4

Comparative example 1
The other steps are the same as in example 1, except that 1.85g (6 mmol) of trichloroacetic anhydride is used instead of 1.26g (6 mmol) of trifluoroacetic anhydride; it was found experimentally that the resulting product was insoluble in dichloromethane and therefore the degree of substitution of the product could not be characterized.
The results of the degree of substitution, the characteristics of the product, the melting temperature, and other properties of the products obtained in examples 1 to 5 and comparative example 1 are shown in Table 1. Therefore, different carboxylic acids are used as esterification agents to carry out derivatization reaction with cellulose, so that the cellulose derivative with good thermoplasticity can be obtained, and the preparation method has universality and can be used for preparing various cellulose ester derivatives. In addition, the cellulose derivatives with different degrees of substitution can be obtained by changing the time, the rotating speed and the reactant proportion, and the method has a certain guiding function on improving the utilization rate of cellulose and preparing degradable materials.
In the invention, the substitution degree is tested and calculated as follows: the MCC-g-SA was recorded at room temperature using a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (AV-400, bruker, germany) 1 H NMR; 5mg of the sample was dissolved in 0.6mL of a solution containing tetramethylDeuterated chloroform (CDCl) of silane (TMS, 0.03%) 3 ) In the method, TMS is used as an internal standard to record the chemical shift of a sample, and the scanning times are 64 times; and to 1 Calculating the Degree of Substitution (DS) of-OH on MCC-g-SA by performing integration treatment on an H NMR spectrum; specifically calculated according to the following formula: DS =7I H-MCC /35I H-SA。
