Description

Method for improving strength and toughness of polymer melt
Technical Field

Background
With the rapid development of polymer material industry, the application of polymer materials has penetrated into various fields of industry, agriculture and people's daily life, however, most of polymer materials are derived from petroleum base, are not easy to realize natural degradation and are difficult to recover at present. Polyglycolic acid, glycolic acid-based copolymer, polylactic acid, lactic acid-based copolymer, polyethylene terephthalate are all biodegradable high molecular materials, which have excellent degradability, no toxicity and good biocompatibility, but have the disadvantage of low melt strength in processing, so that they are modified.
The existing method for improving the melt strength, such as CN103626982A, provides a method for improving the melt strength of polyester resin, and the prepared intermediate with active functional groups breaks down the degradability of polyester system although the intermediate gets rid of the limitation of small molecules; in the process of melt processing of the ester polymer, the coupling copolymer intermediate changes the molecular chain structure of the polymer so as to improve the melt strength, and the method is easy to generate a cross-linking structure, so that the system fluidity is poor, and even the melt processability is lost.
In addition, the current methods for improving the melt strength of polyglycolic acid, glycolic acid-based copolymer, polylactic acid, lactic acid-based copolymer and polyethylene terephthalate do not effectively improve the defect of high brittleness of polyester, so that a new method for preparing a polymer composition with high melt strength and excellent toughness is greatly needed.
