Description

Polyglycolic acid composition with special microstructure and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high molecular materials, in particular to a polyglycolic acid composition with a special microstructure and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Polyglycolic acid (PGA), which is the simplest linear aliphatic polyester, is a typical high-crystallinity polymer, which has a stable crystal lattice and a high melting point. In recent years, PGA has received wide attention and applications in the fields of medical sutures, drug controlled-release carriers, fracture fixation materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, reinforcing materials, oil fields, and the like, because PGA has the advantages of excellent biodegradability, high degradation rate, good biocompatibility, good bioresorbability, high mechanical strength (certain indexes are higher than those of engineering plastics), and the like. However, PGA has a serious problem in that it has a high melting point, a narrow processing temperature, a large crystallinity, and an excessively fast degradation rate, which has a serious influence on its processing and material applications.
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polyester material mainly prepared from bio-based materials, and has the advantages of high rigidity and strength, good biocompatibility, complete biodegradation and the like. The PLA structure comprises chiral carbon atoms, and has two structures of levorotatory structure and dextrorotatory structure, and the current most used is levorotatory polylactic acid-PLLA. PLA is a preferred choice for reinforcing soft biodegradable materials because of its good performance and relatively low cost.
Since PLA and PGA have excellent biocompatibility, degradability and mechanical rigidity, a great number of researchers in recent years use composite metal-substituted materials of PLA and PGA in the biomedical fields of artificial bones, scaffolds and the like. Although PGA and PLA have similar structures, gekko et al (engineering plastics application, 2020,48 (1): 8-12.) find that the blending of PGA and PLA belongs to a thermodynamically incompatible system, and the compatibility can be improved to a certain extent after the chain extender is added, but obvious phase separation still exists. Therefore, there are certain problems in the application of PGA/PLA blends. It has now been found that the degradation rate of PLA is much smaller than PGA, i.e. PLA has better stability. Thus, in PGA/PLA blends and articles made therefrom, long shelf life and stability are often still achieved with PLA as the major phase. But this brings an upper limit to the amount of PGA added to the blend.

The applications are not particularly limited, and include but are not limited to wide applications in medicine, daily necessities, oil recovery, and the like.
The materials and preparation methods used in the present invention are briefly described below:
1. polyglycolic acid
Polyglycolic acid (PGA), also known as Polyglycolic acid, is the simplest-structured thermoplastic linear aliphatic polyester. PGA can be produced by a melt polycondensation method of glycolic acid, a ring-opening polymerization method of glycolide, or the like. Polyglycolic acid is a typical high crystallinity polymer that is lattice stable and has a relatively high melting point. PGA is a hydrophilic resin, and its surface tends to absorb moisture and undergo hydrolytic aging, so that its product stability is poor, thereby limiting its applications.
Polyglycolic acid has excellent biodegradability, can enter a human body circulatory system for in vivo degradation and discharge out of the body, can also degrade in an in vitro environment, and is mainly applied to the fields of medical sutures, drug controlled release carriers, fracture fixation materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, reinforcing materials and the like. Through solution spinning and melt spinning, the polyglycolic acid can be processed into a surgical suture line, has strong tensile strength and can be maintained for a sufficient time, and is suitable for wound suturing of deep tissues.
2. Polylactic acid
Polylactic acid (PLA) is an important lactic acid derivative product, is a polyester material which is nontoxic and harmless to a human body, and is a biodegradable high polymer material chemically synthesized by a lactic acid monomer. Currently, PLA is obtained by direct polycondensation of lactic acid (PC method) or ring-opening polymerization of lactide (ROP method). The PC method includes melt polycondensation, melt polycondensation-solid phase polymerization, and solution polycondensation. In contrast, the ROP method can obtain polylactic acid having a relatively high molecular weight. The polylactic acid has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and no toxicity, and is commonly used as a suture line for a surgical operation, a bone repair material, a drug controlled release material, an artificial bone and the like without taking out stitches in medicine.
Polylactic acid as a biodegradable high molecular polymer has the characteristic of good toughness, can be directly processed and formed by extrusion, injection molding, spinning blow molding and the like through general plastic processing equipment, and is widely applied to the fields of agricultural mulching films, agricultural and sideline product packaging bags, snack boxes, disposable knives and forks and the like at present.
3. Composition of polyglycolic acid and polylactic acid
In the method for preparing the polyglycolic acid/polylactic acid composition, melt blending reaction extrusion is adopted, and required amounts of the components are uniformly mixed in a molten state to obtain the polyglycolic acid/polylactic acid composition with high toughness.
One concrete embodiment is that polyglycolic acid and polylactic acid are respectively metered into a double-screw extruder according to a certain feeding proportion to be subjected to melt blending extrusion granulation. Another embodiment is that polyglycolic acid and polylactic acid are blended according to the required proportion and then added into a double-screw extruder for melt blending extrusion granulation.
In the step of preparing the polyglycolic acid/polylactic acid composition, the extrusion temperature suitable for the present invention may be 200 to 260 c, preferably 220 to 250 c. The rotation speed of the extruder is preferably 50rpm to 500rpm, more preferably 60rpm to 250rpm.
The invention provides a polyglycolic acid composition with a special microstructure and a preparation method thereof. The structure is a special microstructure, i.e. PGA and PLA do not form a conventional sea-island phase-marine phase microstructure (marine phase is abundant), but a special microstructure forming a bicontinuous phase has been unexpectedly found. Thus, the problem that the PGA (with high content) is degraded by too fast aging to have negative effect on the overall mechanical property of the PGL/PLA composite material and the shelf life is too short to meet the use requirement is creatively solved. According to the invention, with high PGA content, PLA unexpectedly forms a continuous phase structure, namely the surface of the product contains PLA coating with slow degradation speed, so that the aging stability of the product can be better relieved and improved, and the shelf life and the application period of the product are prolonged. After 3 weeks of xenon lamp accelerated aging, the tensile strength retention rate of a sample strip prepared by the injection molding composition is more than 35 percent, and the problems that polyglycolic acid is easy to degrade and has poor long-term storage stability can be solved.

After quenching the 6 PGA/PLA blends of example 1 and comparative examples 1-5 in liquid nitrogen, the sections were sprayed with gold and observed on a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) of ZEISS MERLIN model, germany, and the microscopic morphologies of the sections were as shown in FIGS. 1-6 and Table 1.
TABLE 1
Test specimen PGA/PLA Screw speed/rpm Temperature/. Degree.C Type of microphase structure
Example 1 95/5 67 230 Bicontinuous phase
Example 2 94/6 67 230 Bicontinuous phase
Example 3 93/7 67 230 Bicontinuous phase
Example 4 91/9 135 230 Bicontinuous phase
Example 5 85/15 202 230 Bicontinuous phase
Example 6 87/13 202 230 Bicontinuous phase
Comparative example 1 94/6 67 235 Sea island-sea phase
Comparative example 2 95/5 67 235 Sea island-sea phase
Comparative example 3 92/8 135 235 Sea island-sea phase
Comparative example 4 87/13 202 235 Sea island-sea phase
Comparative example 5 80/20 230 235 Sea island-sea phase
As can be seen from the results, examples 1-6 formed a more pronounced bicontinuous phase structure (as shown in FIG. 1) in which the polyglycolic acid phase or polylactic acid phase had a length of about 50 microns and the width of the polyglycolic acid phase or polylactic acid phase was about 10 microns. Comparative examples 1 to 5 formed a conventional sea-island phase structure. As can be seen from examples 1 and 2, examples 2 and 1, and examples 6 and 4, the different temperatures are very sensitive to the microstructure of the PGA/PLA composition at the same PGA/PLA composition and screw rotation speed, and the bicontinuous phase can be formed only at 230 ℃. When the screw speed is 67rpm and the screw temperature is 230 ℃, the PLA content in the composition is 5-7 percent, and a bicontinuous phase can be formed. When the screw rotation speed is 202rpm, the screw temperature is 230 ℃, and the PLA content in the composition is 13-15 percent. PGA/PLA composition is extremely sensitive to processing temperature and screw rotation speed, and can form a special microstructure only when specific process and composition conditions are satisfied; under other compositions and process conditions, only a micro-phase structure with PGA marine phase and PLA as the sea island phase can be obtained.
EXAMPLE 7 preparation and testing of polyglycolic acid composition extruded Material
Examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 5 were dried at 100 ℃ for 3 hours together with 11 seed particles. HAKKE by Thermo Fisher technologies, USA TM And (3) performing injection molding in a MiniJet II micro injection molding machine. The mold is a model 557-2295-60 × 10 × 1 produced by Thermo Fisher technologies, and the temperature of the cavity and the temperature of the mold during the experiment are respectively set as follows: 230 ℃ and 60 ℃.

Next, the 6 injection-molded specimens were subjected to xenon accelerated aging test in a Q-Sun Xe-3-HS xenon accelerated aging test chamber of Q-Lab, USA. And sampling on days 0, 7, 14 and 21 respectively, and testing the mechanical properties of the injection-molded sample strips. Obtaining the change relation of the mechanical strength of the PGA/PLA composition sample bars with different compositions along with the aging time.
TABLE 2 tensile Strength Retention (%)
Figure BDA0003945639020000141
From the aging test results, it was found that only when the PGA/PLA splines exhibited bicontinuous special microstructures (examples 1 to 6) as compared with PGA/PLA splines of ordinary sea-island-marine phase structure (comparative examples), the PGA/PLA splines exhibited the highest retention of tensile strength after accelerated aging for 21 days (39.7 to 40.6%, see Table 2), whereas the tensile strength retention of the comparative examples of sea-island-marine phase structure was only 13.2 to 35.2%. Therefore, the PGA blend with the double-continuous-phase special microstructure has excellent aging stability, and the shelf life of the product is prolonged, which greatly promotes the wide application of the PGA in the field of injection molding products.
