Description

A kind of melt phase polycondensation-solid state polymerization prepares the method for high molecular poly (l-lactic acid)
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for preparing the high molecular poly (l-lactic acid) of fully biodegradable by L-lactic acid.
Background technology
Plastics have been widely used in the every field of national economy and people's daily life.At present, about 1.5 hundred million tons of global plastics gross annual output amount, and with the speed increase more than 5%.But the development of plastics is faced with the difficult problem of twice sternness: the one, and raw material is limited, more and more shortage; The 2nd, serious environment pollution.The used resin raw material overwhelming majority of plastics derives from petrochemical complex, and people have found also that when opening up petrochemicals energetically petroleum resources are limited.Plastic material is because that be subjected to itself and effect and the influence external world, will wear out gradually and become waste, becomes social huge source of pollution.
Poly(lactic acid) is stable performance at normal temperatures, can adopt the working method of general-purpose plastics, as extrude, injection moulding, slush molding etc., can be made into film, sheet material, porous plastics, injection-molded item, hollow blow molding bottle etc.Under oxygen enrichment and high humidity, can be degraded to CO fully by microorganism 2And H 2O is one of effective way that solves the waste plastic problem of environmental pollution.The material acid of poly(lactic acid) can belong to the environment renewable resources by fermentative preparation such as starch, can avoid the problem of petroleum resources exhaustion.Poly(lactic acid) and human body have good consistency, obtain than widespread use in medical field.
The research and development of poly(lactic acid) can be traced back to the thirties in last century, mainly contains two approach by the lactic acid synthesizing polylactic acid: direct polycondensation method and ring-opening polymerization method.The ring-opening polymerization method is the cyclic dimer-rac-Lactide of preparation lactic acid earlier, and rac-Lactide ring-opening polymerization again obtains poly(lactic acid).Require highly purified rac-Lactide in this method, route is long, and complex process causes the price height of poly(lactic acid), is difficult to compete with general-purpose plastics.Direct polycondensation method is by dehydrating condensation polymerization between lactic acid or its oligomer molecules, solution polycondensation (Bull Chem Soc Jpn is arranged usually, 1995, NO.8, P2125), melt-polycondensation (Macromolecules, 1997, NO.3, P373), melt phase polycondensation-solid phase polymerization method (Polymer, 2001, NO.11, P5059) etc.The gordian technique of direct polycondensation method is effectively to get rid of the water that generates in the reaction, and suppresses the reaction that the poly(lactic acid) depolymerization is a by product such as rac-Lactide.The lactic acid solution direct polycondensation method, the water that adopts high boiling phenyl ether equal solvent and reaction to generate forms azeotrope, take the water that reaction generates out of reaction system, to react simultaneously in the rac-Lactide Returning reacting system that generates, can prepare high molecular weight polylactic acid, but have the problem that residual solvent is difficult to remove in solvent recuperation and the product.In the lactic acid direct melt polycondensation, react deuterogenic shipwreck, cause the molecular weight of poly(lactic acid) lower with the discharge system.The product of lactic acid melt phase polycondensation can improve its molecular weight through solid state polymerization, and the side reaction that the vapour pressure of water and inhibition rac-Lactide generate in the how reduction system is very important at this moment.

By the gordian technique of L-lactic acid direct condensation synthesizing polylactic acid is effectively to get rid of the water that generates in the reaction, and suppresses the reaction that the poly(lactic acid) depolymerization is a by product such as rac-Lactide.By the synthetic low-molecular-weight L-lactic acid prepolymer of L-lactic acid melt phase polycondensation, prepolymer can keep it not melt under the solid phase polymerization conditions of comparatively high temps behind isothermal crystal earlier in the present invention, and the depolymerization reaction of poly(lactic acid) greatly suppresses when solid state polymerization.Be added in this moment and still have strong water sorption under high temperature and the vacuum condition, and the molecular sieve less to the rac-Lactide adsorption, reduce the vapour pressure of water in the solid state polymerization environment, driving a reaction carries out to the direction of high molecular poly (l-lactic acid).
