The specific test results are shown in Table one.
Table test results of polypropylene carbonate
From Table I, in combination with examples 1 to 7, it can be seen that the raw material conversion rates of examples 2 to 7 are not significantly different from example 1, the weight average molecular weight and tensile strength of the polypropylene carbonate obtained in examples 2 to 7 are not significantly changed from those of the polypropylene carbonate obtained in example 1, and it is demonstrated that the raw material conversion rates of examples 2 to 7 are similar to example 1, and the mechanical properties of the polypropylene carbonate obtained are similar to example 1. The reason for this may be that examples 2 to 7 merely changed the ratio of the raw materials, the ratio of the raw materials in the preparation process of the modified catalyst, and the related process parameters of the polypropylene carbonate within the required range, which means that the raw material ratio and the conversion rate of the raw materials of the polypropylene carbonate and the properties of the obtained polypropylene carbonate were not significantly affected by the change of the raw material ratio and the process parameters within the required range.
In combination with examples 1, 8, 9 and 12, it can be seen that the conversion of the raw materials in examples 8 and 9 is reduced compared with example 1, and the conversion in example 12 is significantly reduced; the weight average molecular weight and tensile strength of the polypropylene carbonates obtained in examples 8, 9 and 12 were reduced compared to example 1, indicating a reduction in the conversion of examples 8 and 9, and a more pronounced reduction in example 12, and a reduction in the properties of the polypropylene carbonates obtained. The reason for this may be that the modified catalyst employed in example 8 was reduced in the amount of aminosilane oligomer added during the preparation, the protective film attached to the molecular sieve surface was reduced, the functional material reinforcing the molecular sieve structure was reduced, so that the molecular sieve collapsed due to the inability to withstand the polymerization conditions of high temperature and high pressure during the reaction, the modified catalyst was deactivated, the catalytic efficiency was lowered, the conversion of the raw material was lowered, the molecular weight obtained was lowered, and the performance was also lowered; the modified catalyst in example 12 was free of aminosilane oligomer during the preparation process, and the number of molecular sieve collapse was increased, resulting in a more significant decrease in conversion and a decrease in performance. The modified catalyst used in example 9 had an increased amount of aminosilane oligomer added during the preparation, and on the one hand, the binding force between the metal ion and the modified molecular sieve was decreased during the coordination, and on the other hand, excessive aminosilane oligomer resulted in blocking of the pore diameter in the molecular sieve, and metal carboxylate was difficult to form in the molecular sieve, resulting in a decrease in the catalytic efficiency, and further, in a decrease in the conversion rate and a decrease in the molecular weight, and the properties of the obtained polypropylene carbonate were decreased.
In combination with examples 1, 10 and 11, it can be seen that the raw material conversion of examples 10 and 11 was reduced as compared with example 1, and the weight average molecular weight and tensile strength of the polypropylene carbonate obtained in examples 10 and 11 were reduced as compared with example 1; illustrating the reduced conversion in examples 10 and 11, the resulting polypropylene carbonate had reduced performance. The reason for this may be that the modified catalyst employed in example 10 was reduced in the amount of the organic ligand added during the preparation, the metal carboxylate formed was reduced, the catalytic efficiency was lowered, and further the conversion of the raw material was lowered, the molecular weight of the obtained polypropylene carbonate was reduced, and the performance was lowered; the modified catalyst used in example 11 increased the amount of organic ligand added during the preparation process, and too much metal carboxylate formed in the pore diameter of the modified molecular sieve, blocked the pore diameter of the molecular sieve, reduced the mass transfer efficiency of the raw material, and reduced the catalytic efficiency, thus resulting in a decrease in the conversion rate of the raw material, and also in the performance of the obtained polypropylene carbonate.
In combination with example 1 and example 13, it can be seen that example 13 has a reduced conversion of the raw material, a reduced weight average molecular weight of the obtained polypropylene carbonate and a reduced tensile strength compared to example 1, indicating that the conversion of example 13 and the properties of the obtained polypropylene carbonate have been reduced compared to example 1. The reason for this is probably that the metal carboxylate catalyst in example 13 was not supported on the molecular sieve, and the metal carboxylate catalyst was difficult to exert its catalytic action under the processing environment of high temperature and high pressure, resulting in a decrease in catalytic efficiency, and thus a decrease in conversion of the raw material, and also a decrease in the performance of the obtained polypropylene carbonate.
In combination with example 1 and comparative example 1, it can be seen that comparative example 1 has a significant decrease in the conversion of the raw material, the weight average molecular weight and the tensile strength of the obtained polypropylene carbonate as compared with example 1, indicating a significant decrease in the conversion of comparative example 1 and the properties of the obtained polypropylene carbonate as compared with example 1. The reason for this is probably that the carbon dioxide raw material used in comparative example 1 was not subjected to the pressure boosting treatment to form a supercritical state, the temperature and pressure were lowered during the polymerization reaction, the carbon dioxide in a gaseous state was not able to act as a solvent like supercritical carbon dioxide, the increase in viscosity at the latter stage of the reaction was prevented, the polymerization probability with propylene oxide was lowered, the heat transfer efficiency was also lowered, and the formed polypropylene carbonate was easily degraded, resulting in a significant decrease in the conversion of the raw material of comparative example 1, and the properties of the obtained polypropylene carbonate were also significantly lowered.
The present embodiment is merely illustrative of the present application and is not intended to be limiting, and those skilled in the art, after having read the present specification, may make modifications to the present embodiment without creative contribution as required, but is protected by patent laws within the scope of the claims of the present application.
