Description

Biodegradable poly (adipic acid)/butylene terephthalate-isosorbide copolyester and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of synthesis of degradable polyesters, and particularly relates to biodegradable poly (adipic acid)/butylene terephthalate-isosorbide copolyester, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Plastic is a major material of current economy and society due to its versatility, durability, high strength to weight ratio, and excellent economy, and is used as disposable articles such as packaging. However, after a short first use, approximately nine pieces of plastic are not recycled but rather are landfilled, burned and even leaked into the natural environment, and the recycled plastic is also only used in low value products, in contrast to the recovery of plastic being much lower than the other two important materials, paper (58%) and steel (85%). Therefore, a wide consensus has been reached for disposable plastic packaging articles using novel biodegradable and compostable plastics, which are currently under intensive research, development and industrialization. Representative seven major classes of biodegradable plastics are respectively: polylactic acid PLA, poly (3-hydroxy alkyl acid ester) PHA, poly (epsilon-caprolactone) PCL, polyester-PBS/PBSA, aliphatic aromatic copolyester PBAT, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carbon dioxide copolymer PPC.
The comprehensive performance of the poly (butylene adipate/terephthalate) (PBAT) is closest to that of general plastic polyethylene, and has become one of three biodegradable materials which are mainly developed worldwide. Although PBAT is the largest market share in replacing traditional disposable packaging and film materials, these biodegradable materials suffer from certain drawbacks compared to traditional plastics, such as higher production costs, lower strength, lower thermophysical properties, etc. In addition, PBAT is a fossil-based biodegradable plastic, which still leads to carbon dioxide emissions, so it is of great importance to study degradable plastics that obtain novel bio-based rigid monomers from renewable energy sources.
The bio-based rigid monomers on the market at present mainly comprise two types of furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and Isosorbide (IS), the former IS one of 12 bio-based platform compounds which are identified by the United states department of energy and are preferentially developed and utilized, but the production technology of the FDCA IS not mature and has high price, the price of the bio-based rigid monomers IS hardly accepted when the bio-based rigid monomers are used as monomers for producing plastic packaging products for consumer markets, and the latter IS the only bio-based rigid monomer produced on a large scale and can be fully introduced into the consumer markets.
The isosorbide structure comprises two cis-fused Tetrahydrofuran (THF) rings, the included angle of the rings is 120 degrees, the whole molecule presents a V-shaped structure, one of two hydroxyl groups carried by the molecule extends out of the V-shaped annular structure (exo), the other hydroxyl group is positioned in the V-shaped annular structure (endo), and the difference of the reactivity of the two hydroxyl groups causes the polymer containing the isosorbide to have the problems of low molecular weight and the like. Patent CN113861399A discloses a biodegradable polyester PBIAT and a preparation method thereof, which are prepared by uniformly mixing adipic acid, terephthalic acid, isosorbide and butanediol, adding the mixture into a reaction kettle for esterification reaction, adding a catalyst, and increasing the temperature for polycondensation reaction to obtain the PBIAT copolyester. This patent has the following problems: (1) There are problems common in the art that prepolymer is largely withdrawn when a vacuum is drawn in the polycondensation stage; (2) Because of complex monomer components, the preparation process adopts a single temperature, which can cause insufficient reaction; (3) Lower temperatures are detrimental to the polymerization reaction due to the lower reactivity of isosorbide. All of the above problems result in products with low molecular weight and poor properties, and thus it is difficult to obtain PBIAT copolyesters with high molecular weight and excellent properties.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems and the defects existing in the prior art, the invention aims to provide biodegradable poly (adipic acid)/butylene terephthalate-isosorbide (PBIAT) copolyester, and a preparation method and application thereof.
In order to achieve the aim of the invention, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
the first aspect of the invention provides a method for preparing biodegradable PBIAT copolyester, comprising the following steps:
(1) Mixing terephthalic acid or methyl terephthalate with adipic acid, butanediol and isosorbide to obtain a monomer mixture; heating to monomer mixture melting under inert atmosphere, adding catalyst, continuously heating to 180-205 ℃ for reaction to obtain prepolymer;
(2) Continuously heating the prepolymer to 235-245 ℃, reducing the pressure of a reaction system to 0.01-0.2kPa, heating to 250-255 ℃ for reaction for 5-7 hours, and obtaining the biodegradable PBIAT copolyester after the reaction is finished.
In the step (1), four raw materials of terephthalic acid or methyl terephthalate, adipic acid, butanediol and isosorbide are stirred and mixed in an inert atmosphere, heated and melted, and then a catalyst is added for esterification or transesterification, for example, when 1, 4-butanediol is selected, an oligomer containing the following four structural units is prepared:
wherein IA represents a poly (adipic acid)/isosorbide polyester structural unit, BT represents a poly (adipic acid)/1, 4-butanediol polyester structural unit, IT represents a poly (terephthalic acid)/isosorbide polyester structural unit, and BA represents a poly (adipic acid)/1, 4-butanediol polyester structural unit.
According to the preparation method, preferably, the catalyst is added in the step (1), and the specific operation of continuously heating to 180-205 ℃ for reaction is as follows: adding an esterification catalyst, sealing a reaction system, heating to 160-170 ℃, and reacting for 1-2h at a temperature; then the condensation reflux is started, and the temperature is raised to 180-205 ℃ for reaction. The water and the methanol generated in the reaction process can exist in the reaction system in a gaseous state in the airtight system reaction for 1-2h, so that the system pressure is slightly higher than the normal pressure, the raw materials react in a micro-positive pressure state, and the reaction efficiency is improved.
According to the preparation method, preferably, in the step (1), the reaction is carried out by continuously heating to 180-205 ℃, and the specific operation is as follows: heating to 180-185 ℃ to react for 1-1.5h, and then heating to 200-205 ℃ to react for at least 1h. The invention adopts a gradient heating strategy to enable the reaction system to sequentially reach the optimal reaction temperature of adipic acid, isosorbide and dimethyl terephthalate, so that all raw materials can fully react, and the reaction efficiency is improved.
According to the production method, preferably, the lowering of the reaction system to 0.01 to 0.2kPa in the step (2) comprises: firstly, the pressure of the reaction system is reduced to 1.5 to 2.0kPa, the reaction system is maintained for 30 to 40 minutes, and the pressure value is continuously reduced to 0.01 to 0.2kPa.
According to the production method, preferably, the pressure of the reaction system is reduced to a speed of 1.5 to 2.0kPa at a rate of half every 15 minutes.
In the vacuum melt polycondensation stage, the system pressure is gradually and slowly reduced, particularly the pressure is maintained for 30-40min at 1.5-2.0kPa, and finally the melt polycondensation is carried out at the temperature of 250 ℃ under the high vacuum condition, so that the polycondensation reaction efficiency can be effectively improved, a large amount of prepolymer is prevented from being pumped out, and the molecular weight of the copolyester is improved.
According to the preparation method, preferably, the molar mass percentage of isosorbide in the step (1) is 5-40mol% and the molar mass percentage of butanediol is 60-95mol% based on 100mol% of the total molar mass of isosorbide and butanediol.
According to the invention, isosorbide is introduced into the PBAT, the rigid ring structure of the isosorbide is utilized to strengthen the molecular chain of the copolyester, so that the mechanical property of the copolyester PBAT can be obviously improved, and meanwhile, the unique V-shaped structure of the isosorbide is utilized to damage the crystallinity of the copolyester, so that the breaking elongation of the PBIAT is improved. However, when the molar mass percentage of isosorbide is too high, the polymerization reaction becomes more difficult, and the molecular weight and crystallinity of the copolyester are reduced at the same time, so that the mechanical properties are reduced. Thus, the molar mass percentage of isosorbide according to the invention is controlled to be 5 to 40mol%, preferably 5 to 20mol%.
According to the preparation method, preferably, the sum of the molar masses of butanediol and isosorbide is denoted as n 1 The sum of the molar masses of terephthalic acid or methyl terephthalate and adipic acid is denoted as n 2 ,n 1 :n 2 =1.1-1.3:1. If n 1 :n 2 Less than or equal to 1.1, especially when n 1 :n 2 When the polymerization rate is less than or equal to 0.9, the polymerization rate is greatly reduced, and copolyester with higher molecular weight is difficult to obtain, so the invention controls n 1 :n 2 =1.1-1.3:1, preferably n 1 :n 2 =1.1:1。
According to the preparation method, preferably, the catalyst is used in an amount of 0.02-0.06 wt% of the total mass of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate, adipic acid, butanediol and isosorbide.
According to the preparation method, preferably, the catalyst is at least one of tetrabutyl titanate, isopropyl titanate, antimony trioxide and a titanium magnesium bimetallic catalyst.
According to the preparation method, preferably, the butanediol is one or more of 1, 4-butanediol, 1, 3-butanediol, 1, 2-butanediol and 2, 3-butanediol.

Structural characterization and performance testing
1. Nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum
FIG. 2 shows the PBIAT copolyesters and pairs obtained in example 1 and example 4The nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum of the PBAT copolyester obtained in the proportion 1 is shown in FIG. 2 1 When the H-NMR spectrum is analyzed, the sharp strong peak d at delta 8.09ppm is attributed to a proton on the benzene ring, and two similar groups of peaks at delta 4.43, 4.37, 4.14 and 4.09ppm are respectively attributed to methylene e and e' on the adjacent ester carbonyl group on the 1, 4-butanediol connected with aliphatic group or aromatic group, wherein the proton chemical shift on the methylene on the adjacent ester carbonyl group on the 1, 4-butanediol is shifted to the low field due to the formation of a larger conjugated structure of the ester carbonyl group connected with the benzene ring; the sharp peak at δ2.32ppm is attributed to proton g on the methylene group of the adipic acid segment adjacent to the ester carbonyl group; the peak at δ1.97ppm is attributed to proton f on the methylene group of the 1, 4-butanediol unit other than the adjacent ester carbonyl group; the peak at δ1.65ppm is assigned to proton h on the methylene group of the adipic acid unit other than the adjacent ester carbonyl group; the characteristic peak of the isosorbide unit is very tiny and concentrated between delta 5.5 and 3.5ppm, and the characteristic peak is obviously increased along with the rising of the addition amount of the isosorbide, which proves that the isosorbide chain segment successfully enters the copolyester.
2. Infrared spectrum
FIG. 3 is an infrared spectrum of the PBIAT copolyester obtained in examples 1 to 5 and the PBAT copolyester obtained in comparative example. 1713cm in FIG. 3 -1 The strong and sharp absorption peak is derived from C=O, 1238cm -1 The strong absorption peak at the position is derived from asymmetric vibration of ArC-O-C bond in polyester ester group, 1016cm -1 Is provided with a plurality of stretching vibration produced by methylene-connected C-C bonds, 874cm -1 The weak peak at which represents benzene ring, 723cm -1 The strong and sharp absorption peak is caused by out-of-plane vibration of C-H on the benzene ring. Examples 1-5 were at 972cm compared to comparative example 1 -1 There is a very weak absorption peak, which is a characteristic peak of isosorbide units in the polyester segment, derived from symmetrical vibration of the C-O-C groups in the isosorbide fused bicyclic ring, indicating that the examples of the invention successfully produced PBIAT.
3. Mechanical properties
The mechanical properties of the copolyester samples prepared in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-2 were tested, FIG. 4 shows stress strain curves of the copolyesters obtained in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-2, and FIG. 5 shows ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break of the copolyesters obtained in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-2, specific data of which are shown in Table 3, wherein the measurement standards of tensile strength and elongation at break were developed according to national standard GB/T1040.3-2006.
Table 3 mechanical property data for examples 1-4 and comparative examples 1-2:
numbering device Sample name Tensile Strength (MPa) Elongation at break (%)
Example 1 PB 95 I 5 AT 27.1 1271.8

Example 3 PB 85 I 15 AT 14.2 1024.1
Example 4 PB 80 I 20 AT 9.1 784.3

Comparative example 1 PBAT 12.2 778.3
Comparative example 2 PB 95 I 5 AT* 14.9 800.7
As can be seen from fig. 4, 5 and table 3, the addition of isosorbide (example 1) significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the copolyester PBIAT compared to PBAT without isosorbide (comparative example 1), because the introduction of the rigid ring in the isosorbide structure has a certain reinforcing effect on the polymer molecular chain, while the unique V-shaped structure of isosorbide destroys the crystallinity of the copolymer, thereby resulting in an improvement of the tensile strength and elongation at break of the PBIAT. However, as the amount of isosorbide increases (examples 2 to 4), the mechanical properties tend to decrease again, since the low reactivity of the-OH in isosorbide makes the polymerization difficult, which leads to a decrease in the molecular weight of the polymer and thus to an influence on the mechanical properties. When the isosorbide unit content in the molecular chain further increases (example 5), the copolymer exhibits an amorphous state, at which time the copolymer strength is low and has extremely high elongation at break.
Compared with comparative example 2, in which the preparation process was not optimized (i.e., the micro-positive pressure state was not maintained and the temperature was not raised in sections during the esterification stage, and the pressure was not lowered in sections during the polycondensation stage), the mechanical properties of the samples of examples 1 to 4 were greatly improved. The esterification stage can maintain a micro positive pressure state for a period of time, so that the reaction efficiency can be improved, and meanwhile, the reaction system can sequentially reach the optimal reaction temperature of adipic acid, isosorbide and dimethyl terephthalate by adopting a gradient heating strategy in the esterification stage, so that the reaction efficiency is maximized. In addition, the invention adopts sectional depressurization in the vacuum melting polycondensation stage, especially keeps for a long time at about 1.5kpa, and finally polycondensates under the vacuum condition of 250 ℃, so that a large amount of prepolymer can be effectively prevented from being pumped out, the molecular weight of the copolyester is obviously improved, and the mechanical property of a sample is further influenced.
DSC curve
FIG. 6 shows DSC curves of the PBIAT copolyesters obtained in examples 1-4 and the PBAT copolyester obtained in comparative example 1, wherein (a) is a DSC curve of the second temperature rise and (b) is a DSC curve of the temperature decrease. The thermal transition performance data in the graph are listed in Table 4, T c Represents the crystallization temperature, deltaH c Indicating the crystallization enthalpy value, T g Indicating the glass transition temperature, T cc Represents the cold crystallization temperature, deltaH cc Indicating the enthalpy value, T, of cold crystallization m Represents melting point, deltaH m Indicating the melting enthalpy value.
TABLE 4 thermal transition Properties
As can be seen from FIGS. 6 and 4, as the content of isosorbide having a rigid structure in the polymer segment increases, the segment movement becomes more difficult, and is reflected in T g The upper part shows an ascending trend. The difficulty of segment movement and the V-shaped structure of isosorbide jointly destroy the regularity of molecular weight, so that the crystallinity of the PBIAT copolyester is obviously reduced along with the increase of isosorbide units, and the melting point, the crystallization temperature and the crystallization enthalpy of the copolyester are simultaneously reduced. Further, when the isosorbide content is more than 15mol% (examples 3 and 4), a distinct cold crystallization peak appears. Thus (2)As the isosorbide content continues to increase (example 5), we can predict that the copolyester will exhibit transparency due to reduced crystallinity.
5. Transparency of
A graph of a compression molded sheet of the PBIAT copolyester obtained in example 5 and the copolyester obtained in comparative example 1 is shown in FIG. 7, which shows that the PBIAT copolyester has a certain transparency, consistent with the predicted results of the present invention.
In summary, the PBIAT copolyester with higher toughness and strength is obtained by optimizing the preparation process of the PBIAT copolyester. Compared with pure PBAT copolyester, the PBIAT copolyester prepared by the invention has the highest tensile strength of 27.1MPa, the elongation at break of 784-2574 percent, the melting point of higher than 100 ℃, and excellent processability, and can be widely applied to the field of bio-based degradable film packaging.
The embodiments described above are specific embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, and any other combinations, changes, modifications, substitutions, and simplifications that do not exceed the design concept of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
