Description

Method for preparing polyarylsulfone ether based on double-end capping method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of high polymer materials, in particular to a method for preparing polyarylsulfone ether based on a double-end capping method.
Background
The polyarylsulfone ether plastics are amorphous aromatic thermoplastic high molecular plastics which are formed by linking the 2 types of structures, wherein the aromatic sulfone bonds (-SO 2 -) and aromatic ether bonds are contained in the high molecular repeating unit structure. Commercially valuable polyarylsulfone ether plastics mainly include polysulfone (abbreviated PSF, PSU, PSO and the like hereinafter, PSU for polysulfone), polyethersulfone (abbreviated PES) polyphenylsulfone (abbreviated PPSF, PPSU, PPSO and the like hereinafter, PPSU for polyphenylsulfone), polythioether sulfone (abbreviated PTES) and the like.
The sulfone bond and the ether bond in the polyarylsulfone ether endow the polymer with toughness, transparency and high heat resistance. The sulfone bond on the main chain of the aromatic ring makes the polyarylsulfone ether possess rigidity and hardness, while the structure of the continuous aromatic ring makes them possess high-temperature oxidation resistance; on the other hand, the presence of flexible ether bonds in the main chain gives them toughness and impact resistance. The heat distortion temperature is 174-221 ℃, the continuous use temperature is 160-190 ℃, and the continuous use temperature of special varieties is up to 205 ℃ or more. This class of plastics also has intrinsic flame retardant properties and even when burned, gives up very little smoke. In addition, the plastics have high chemical resistance and can meet the severe safety requirements. The polyarylsulfone ether plastic is a special engineering plastic with high thermal stability, good transparency, excellent hydrolytic stability, low molding shrinkage, good biocompatibility, moderate electrical property and mechanical property and excellent resistance to acid, alkali, alcohol, aliphatic hydrocarbon and salt solution, and can be completely compared with high-quality engineering plastics such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether ketone (PEKK) and the like. Especially, the application of the polyarylsulfone ether plastic in the fields of sea water desalination, ultra-pure water filtration in the IC field, membrane separation of artificial kidneys and the like is unique, and the application value of the polyarylsulfone ether plastic is more remarkable.
However, the preparation of polyarylsulfone ether has a certain technical difficulty, which restricts the industrial application.
For example, when an ultrafiltration membrane is prepared using a polyarylsulfone ether, the most commonly used technique is a solution film-forming method, which requires dissolving a polyarylsulfone ether plastic in a solvent such as Dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), etc., and then forming the membrane. This requires that the solution of the polyarylsulfone ether plastic be very clear, transparent, stable throughout the processing cycle. Unfortunately, in the prior art, a considerable number of products have failed to meet this requirement. In addition, since the synthesis of polyarylsulfone ether plastics basically adopts a condensation polymerization method that halogen is combined with phenol metal and removed, one end group of a molecular chain always retains halogen, which is extremely disadvantageous for the use of the plastics in a biological filtration membrane. In addition, the molecular weight distribution of the condensation polymerization process is also difficult to control, so that it is difficult to ensure both sufficient strength of the film and flowability during processing of the film and sufficient ductility of the resulting film. In addition, during the synthesis of the polyarylsulfone ether plastic, the phenol metal is also a main functional group of polycondensation, so that a large amount of phenol metal atoms are inevitably remained at the terminal of the molecular chain of the polyarylsulfone ether, which seriously hinders the application of the polyarylsulfone ether film in the field of ultra-pure water filtration of IC industry. In addition, some applications in the field of membrane separation, which require both maintaining the intrinsic properties of the polyarylsulfone ether and the stability in solution, and also require different permeabilities to certain substances for different applications, require some modification of the structure of the polyarylsulfone ether molecule, which have problems that are naturally also of interest to the scientific and industrial community and are in an effort to change this state of the art.
For example, chinese patent CN 116218220a discloses a polyphenylsulfone composition comprising, in parts by weight: 95-99 parts of polyphenylsulfone resin; 0.1-5 parts of polyaramide liquid crystal polymer; 0.05-0.3 part of acid absorber; wherein, the polyphenylsulfone resin comprises the following monomers and the derivatives of the same kind according to mole percent: 10-35mol% of 4,4' -biphenol; 15-40mol% of bisphenol monomer containing amide groups; 45-55mol% of 4,4' -dichloro diphenyl sulfone. The main innovation of the scheme is that 0.1-5 parts of polyaramid liquid crystal polymer is added into polymerized monomer to carry out copolymerization so as to increase the hydrophilic property of polyphenylsulfone, and 0.15% parts of acid absorber is added so as to simplify the polycondensation process. However, there is no clear contribution to the formation of clear, transparent, stable polyarylsulfone ether plastic solutions, as well as to the control of molecular weight distribution and elimination of phenolic metal residues.
Chinese patent CN 116589680A discloses a method for preparing an aromatic polymer, which comprises performing polycondensation reaction of halogenated monomer and second monomer in the presence of alkali, solvent and water absorbent, wherein the second monomer comprises phenol monomer, thiophenol monomer or amine monomer, the main innovation of the scheme is that the monomer is not limited to phenol group only, and thiophenol group or amine group can be adopted at the same time; also, not limited to the use of dichlorobenzene sulfone, various types of chlorophenyl sulfones may be used, and even fluorinated phenylene sulfones may be used. In addition, a water absorbing agent is added during the reaction. The water absorbent is considered to be cheap and easy to obtain, is used for absorbing water generated in the polymerization reaction process, does not need to add a water diversion agent or a water diversion process, and reduces insoluble solid content, so that the synthesis of the series of aromatic polymers with low cost and high efficiency can be realized. However, this approach also does not clearly contribute to the formation of clear, transparent, stable polyarylsulfone ether plastic solutions, and to how to control the molecular weight distribution and eliminate the phenol metal residue.
In addition, in terms of the end capping technique, li Shengzhu and Wu Cunlei are disclosed in the description of sulfone polymers and their applications, which uses methyl chloride to cap the end groups. However, since the boiling point of chloromethane is far lower than the temperature of polycondensation reaction, most chloromethane is inevitably emitted into the gas phase in the polymerization process, and the chloromethane has no end-sealing effect and can cause environmental pollution due to escaping into the air.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior polyarylsulfone ether preparation technology and provides a method for preparing the polyarylsulfone ether based on a double-end capping method.
The scheme of the application adopts the halogen-eliminating phenol metal end-capping agent to be added into the system when the polycondensation reaction reaches a preset stage, so that not only can the end groups of halogen atoms which are not suitable for some application occasions be eliminated, but also the molecular weight distribution of the polyarylsulfone ether can be controlled according to the needs, so that the polyarylsulfone ether not only meets the requirements on strength, but also can ensure the fluidity in the processing process and the requirement on sufficient ductility after being made into a film.
In addition, after the condensation polymerization reaches the preset molecular weight, the scheme of the application adopts the high-activity phenol metal-removing aromatic end-capping agent to terminate the polymerization reaction, so that the polymerization reaction can be quickly terminated, the pollution caused by the fact that the low-boiling end-capping agent is discharged into the air is avoided, the heat resistance of the polyarylsulfone ether is not influenced by the end capping of the aryl, and the phenol metal end group with an undesirable metal atom is removed. More prominently, the stability of the solution can be further improved according to different solvents used when the ultrafiltration membrane is prepared from the polyarylsulfone ether, and the selective permeability of certain substances is realized through the functional groups contained in the high-activity dephenolization metal aromatic end-capping agent according to different application fields, so that the application range of the ultrafiltration membrane prepared from the polyarylsulfone ether is wider.
The aim of the invention can be achieved by the following technical scheme:
The invention provides a method for preparing polyarylsulfone ether based on a double-end capping method, which comprises the following steps:
s1, salifying and polycondensing: taking difunctional phenol and difunctional halogenated aryl sulfone as raw materials, carrying out condensation polymerization reaction in an organic solvent in the presence of inorganic caustic alkali or inorganic caustic salt, wherein the inorganic caustic alkali or inorganic caustic salt firstly reacts with the difunctional phenol to generate phenolate, then reacts with halogen atoms to remove halogenated alkali metal salt, and forming polycondensation product polyarylsulfone ether;
S2, controlling the molecular weight distribution of the polyarylsulfone ether: after the molecular weight of the polyarylsulfone ether reaches a preset value, adding a halogen-eliminating phenol metal end-capping agent into a polymerization system, gradually removing the end group of halogen atoms through reaction, so that the only remaining end of the end-capped molecular chain can carry out chain growth reaction, and the two ends of the molecular chain which is not end-capped can still bidirectionally continue the chain growth reaction, thereby realizing control on the distribution of the molecular weight of the polymerization through the sequence before and after end capping;
S3, terminating condensation polymerization reaction: after the condensation polymerization reaches the preset molecular weight, a high-activity phenol-removing metal aromatic end-capping agent is added into the polymerization system to remove the phenol metal end groups, and the condensation polymerization reaction is terminated, so that the polyarylsulfone ether has aromatic end groups and contains necessary functional groups, namely, the high-activity phenol-removing metal aromatic end-capping agent is adopted, and the polyarylsulfone ether has corresponding functional groups through a simple end-capping reaction.
In one embodiment of the invention, the amount of difunctional phenol used in relation to difunctional haloaryl sulfone is: the molar ratio of phenol to halogen is (0.8-1.1): 1, preferably, the molar ratio of phenol to halogen is 1:1.
In one embodiment of the invention, the difunctional phenol is selected from the group consisting of one or more of the following structural formulas:
In one embodiment of the invention, the difunctional haloaryl sulfone is selected from the group consisting of one or more of the following structural formulas:
in one embodiment of the invention, the number of equivalents of inorganic caustic or inorganic caustic salt is 1 to 1.5 times the number of phenol equivalents.
In one embodiment of the invention, the inorganic caustic or inorganic caustic salt is selected from one or a combination of several of the following:

In one embodiment of the invention, the organic solvent is selected from one or a combination of several of the following: dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, sulfolane, N-methylpyrrolidone, cyclohexanone.

Wherein: w is the dosage of the end-capping agent, and the unit is weight unit, and can be one of gram, kilogram, ton and the like; m is the molecular weight of the polyarylsulfone ether; v is the mass of the theoretical repeating unit of the polyarylsulfone ether; n is the number of theoretical repeating unit structures converted from the raw materials of the difunctional phenol and the difunctional sulfone; q is the sum of the masses of the added functional groups after the two ends of the polyarylsulfone ether are completely blocked; c is the molar mass of the end-capping agent.

In one embodiment of the present invention, during the salt formation and polycondensation reaction in step S1, gas phase protection is performed by using inert gases such as Ar and N 2.
In one embodiment of the present invention, during the salt formation and polycondensation reaction of step S1, water, a reaction byproduct, and an alkali metal halide salt are simultaneously removed to gradually increase the molecular weight of the polyarylsulfone ether. In the salt forming and polycondensation reaction process of the step S1, water and halogenated alkali metal salt are formed through the end groups of 2 molecules, and after the reaction byproducts are removed, the rest parts are bonded with each other to form macromolecules.
In one embodiment of the present invention, in step S2 and step S3, the method for determining whether the molecular weight of the polyarylsulfone ether reaches a predetermined value is as follows: and continuously sampling in the polymerization process, testing the viscosity of the obtained sample in a fixed solvent and concentration, and determining the molecular weight of the polyarylsulfone ether according to the viscosity.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages and beneficial effects that:
1) Since the synthesis of polyarylsulfone ethers is basically a condensation polymerization method in which one halogen atom of a bifunctional halogen-containing aryl sulfone is bonded to one phenol metal atom of a bifunctional phenol metal and removed, and the removed molecular chains are bonded to each other, one end group of the molecular chain still retains one halogen atom, which is extremely disadvantageous for use as a biological filtration membrane. In addition, the molecular weight distribution of the condensation polymerization process is difficult to control, so that it is difficult to ensure both sufficient strength and process flowability and sufficient ductility of the article or film. The classical synthesis method is left at the discretion of the halogen atoms left at one end of the polyarylsulfone ether chain and is also uncontrollable with respect to the molecular weight distribution during the condensation polymerization. When the polymerization reaches the preset molecular weight, the halogen-eliminating phenol metal end-capping agent for removing the end groups of the aryl halogen is added, so that the end groups of the halogen are gradually removed; on the other hand, the molecular chain losing the halogen end group only leaves the other end to carry out chain growth reaction, and the molecular chain which is not blocked can still carry out bidirectional continuous chain growth reaction at the two ends, so that the requirement of expanding molecular weight distribution is realized;
2) In the synthesis process of the polyarylsulfone ether, besides eliminating and blocking the halogen, the other end group is the functional group of the phenol metal, so that a great amount of phenol metal is inevitably remained at the molecular chain terminal of the polyarylsulfone ether. This severely hampers the use of polyarylsulfone ether membranes in the field of ultra-pure water filtration in the IC field and can lead to the occurrence of solution instability in the film making process. In the classical synthesis method, methyl chloride is used for end capping, but the boiling point of methyl chloride is far lower than the polymerization temperature, so that the methyl chloride inevitably escapes into the weather, the utilization rate is very low, the metering is impossible, and the toxic gases pollute the environment. The technical scheme provided by the application adopts the high-activity dephenolization metal aromatic end-capping agent with the boiling point higher than the polymerization temperature, so that the utilization rate is high, the metering can be precisely carried out, and the environmental pollution is avoided. On the one hand, the aromatic end group is beneficial to improving the heat-resistant stability of the polyarylsulfone ether, and on the other hand, the corresponding functional group can be bonded according to the requirement of an application scene;
3) In the application field of the polyarylsulfone ether membrane separation, firstly, the film preparation solution is required to be stable, secondly, not only the intrinsic performance of the polyarylsulfone ether is required to be ensured, but also the permeability with different selectivity to certain substances is required to be aimed at different application occasions, and then the molecular structure of the polyarylsulfone ether is required to be modified. For example, for certain applications, it is desirable to increase hydrophilicity, carbophilicity, amidphilicity, etc. In the classical polymerization technique, the copolymerization is usually carried out by adding other monomers, which often changes the intrinsic properties of the polyarylsulfone ether and does not have the effect of activating the higher end groups. The scheme of the application is as described in the above 2, and the high-activity phenol metal-removing aromatic end-capping agent containing corresponding functional groups is adopted, so that the required preset target can be achieved through a simple end-capping reaction while the phenol metal is removed.

In particular, in the examples, not only the halogen content was reduced by several tens times after elimination and blocking of the halogen end groups, but also the molecular weight distribution was fully effectively enlarged by conducting the end-capping reaction at a predetermined degree of polymerization. Thereby greatly improving the breaking elongation of the resin and the ductility of the product. This is extremely advantageous for the use of polyarylsulfone ether polymers in the field of membrane filtration.
Secondly, the elimination and end capping of the phenolic metal end groups reduce the content of alkali metal by more than ten times, which is very favorable for the application of the polyarylsulfone ether membrane in the field of IC industry ultrapure water filtration.
Furthermore, by eliminating and blocking the phenolic metal end group, functional groups such as amido, hydroxyl or carbonyl are introduced, so that the polyarylsulfone ether membrane meets the requirement of filtering different compounds in various application fields. For example, in example 3, the reaction of eliminating the phenol metal caused by bonding the aromatic end group containing the amide group significantly improved the hydrophilicity, particularly the hydrophilicity, as compared with example 2. Therefore, the transmissivity of wastes such as urea and the like can be greatly improved in the application of the polyarylsulfone ether membrane in the renal dialysis membrane separation.
In addition, the pellets of the above examples and comparative examples were prepared as a relatively general 18% concentrated solution using dimethylformamide, which is most widely used in the film-forming process, and the time for which they remained clear, transparent and stable solutions was observed, and the results are shown in table 2.
Table 2 observations of stability after the pellets in examples and comparative examples were formulated into solutions
It can be clearly seen that the polyarylsulfone ether polymer with molecular weight and mechanical property meeting application requirements can be obtained by adopting the conventional synthesis method, but the requirements of the film making process are difficult to meet. However, by adopting the double-end capping technology in the invention, the requirement of the film preparation process on the standing period of the stable solution (see the example 3) can be met, the content of halogen and alkali metal in the polyarylsulfone ether can be greatly reduced, and the requirement of the application field on the molecular weight distribution of the polyarylsulfone ether polymer can be met according to different application occasions.
