Description

Polycarbonate with excellent hydrolytic stability
Invention field
The present invention relates to polycarbonate with excellent hydrolytic stability by the scorification preparation.The invention still further relates to a kind of method that is used to prepare polycarbonate with improvement stability to hydrolysis, and from described goods with polycarbonate of improvement stability to hydrolysis.
Background of invention
Conventional factory is mixed together polycarbonate synthesis by the aqueous solution that makes dihydroxy compound (as bisphenol-A) and the organic solvent (as methylene dichloride) that contains carbonylic halide (as phosgene).When mixing immiscible organic phase and water, described dihydroxy compound reacts at phase interface place and described carbonylic halide.Usually phase-transfer catalyst (as tertiary amine) is joined aqueous phase in order to strengthen this reaction.This synthetic method is usually " interface " synthesis method that is used to prepare polycarbonate known to us.
The described interfacial process that is used to prepare polycarbonate has several inherent shortcomings.One of shortcoming is to need process that requires phosgene as reagent of operation, and this will cause tangible security concerns.Two of shortcoming is to need process that requires a large amount of organic solvents of operation, must take the preventive measures of various costlinesses in order to prevent any hostile environment influence.Three of shortcoming is that described interfacial needs relatively large device and capital investment.Four of shortcoming is to have the particle of unsettled color, higher level content and the chlorine that can cause the corrosive high level easily by the prepared polycarbonate of interfacial.
Some new polycarbonate factories promptly come polycarbonate synthesis by the diester (as dipheryl carbonate base ester) that adopts dihydroxy compound (as bisphenol-A) condensation carbonic acid by transesterification reaction.This reaction need not be adopted solvent, and by mixing all ingredients phenol that distillation reaction produced simultaneously reaction is accomplished under decompression and high temperature.This synthetic technology is commonly referred to " fusion " technology.Fusion technology is superior to the interface tech part and is not adopt phosgene, does not need solvent, and needs less device.In addition, the polycarbonate of being produced by scorification does not contain the cl contaminant from all ingredients, and granule content is lower, and color is more stable.Therefore, people more need to adopt fusion technology in industrial manufacture process.
Producing in the polycarbonate by melt phase polycondensation, alkali metal hydroxide, particularly sodium hydroxide is commonly used for polymerizing catalyst.Though alkali metal hydroxide can be used as polymerizing catalyst, they also cause obtaining the side reaction of branching side reaction product.This will cause the change of the melting characteristic of polycarbonate, and then make processing become difficult.
To be the catalyzer that remains in the gained polycarbonate have a negative impact to the performance of polycarbonate another shortcoming of using basic catalyst.Particularly, the stability to hydrolysis of polycarbonate will be subjected to the influence of residual catalyst.
Can be different to its desired stability to hydrolysis of a given application.For some application, for example to produce in the flaky resin of double-walled (twin wall) sheet material can be used for, it is more crucial that the stability to hydrolysis of polycarbonate becomes.
US5,606,607 disclose a kind of method that is used to prepare aromatic polycarbonate, wherein add epoxide in the presence of the acidic components of sulfur-bearing.But the not mentioned influence that joins the various additives of polycarbonate to stability to hydrolysis of the document.
For the requirement that for the polycarbonate of scorification preparation, exists its stability to hydrolysis of improvement.Particularly, need a kind of polycarbonate that the stability to hydrolysis that can be used for producing flaky resin (being used for the double-walled sheet material) obtains improveing that have.
Summary of the invention
One aspect of the present invention relates to a kind of polycarbonate compositions of hydrolysis-stable, the polycarbonate compositions of described hydrolysis-stable has and is lower than about 98% mole terminal aryl carbonates group and 2% mole or above terminal hydroxyl (total mole number based on all end groups of polycarbonate calculates), the polycarbonate of described hydrolysis-stable also comprises about 3.6ppm or following catalyst quenchers, about 1,000ppm or following phosphorous acid ester component and about 200ppm or following epoxide hydrolysis stabilizer.
The invention still further relates to from the prepared goods of the polycarbonate of described hydrolysis-stable.In one embodiment, formed goods are sheet material, and in another embodiment, described goods are the double-walled sheet material.
The present invention relates to the method that a kind of preparation has the polycarbonate compositions of the hydrolysis-stable that is lower than about 98% mole terminal aryl carbonates group and 2% mole or above terminal hydroxyl (total mole number based on all end groups of polycarbonate calculates) in yet another aspect, and described method comprises following each step: the content with catalyst quenchers during the preparation of the polycarbonate of hydrolysis-stable and processing remains on 3.6ppm or following; The phosphorous acid ester components contents is maintained at about 1,000ppm or following; Be maintained at about 200ppm or following with content with the epoxide hydrolysis stabilizer.
The present invention also aspect relates to a kind of method that is used to prepare the polycarbonate of hydrolysis-stable, said method comprising the steps of:
A) polycarbonate based on the scorification preparation calculates, and adds the catalyst quenchers that reaches as high as about 3.6ppm;
B) polycarbonate based on the scorification preparation calculates, and adds the phosphorous acid ester component that reaches as high as about 1000ppm; With
C) polycarbonate based on the scorification preparation calculates, and adds the epoxide hydrolysis stabilizer that reaches as high as about 200ppm
Wherein component a), b) or c) at least a amount greater than 0ppm, and wherein in the steam autoclave of 120 ℃ and 100% relative humidity, the loss of molecular weight of the polycarbonate of described hydrolysis-stable is less than about 30%.The present invention describes
The present invention is devoted to address these problems and provide other surprising performance.
By can more easily understanding the present invention to the preferred embodiments of the invention and the detailed description that is included in embodiment wherein with reference to following.
Before open and description present composition content and method, should understand that the present invention is not limited to concrete synthetic method or is confined to concrete prescription, because these methods and prescription can change.It is also to be understood that term used herein only to be used to describe specific embodiment simultaneously and be not to be limited.

The polycarbonate of the polycarbonate of interfacial preparation and scorification preparation requires to add some additive usually so that stablize the product of gained after preparation.Yet the difference of the additive that the polycarbonate of the polycarbonate of interfacial preparation and scorification preparation is required is that the polycarbonate of scorification preparation need add catalyst quenchers with the remaining alkaline matter that neutralizes, as basic metal or the alkaline earth salt of remnants.The common additives that is used for this purpose comprises, for example sulfuric acid (" S " acid) or phosphoric acid (" P " acid) and corresponding ester thereof.
Polycarbonate by the interfacial process preparation contains usually above about 98% mole terminal aryl carbonates (based on the total mole number meter of all end groups of polycarbonate).Polycarbonate by scorification preparation contains and is less than about 98% mole terminal aryl carbonates group and 2% mole or above terminal hydroxyl (based on the total mole number meter of all end groups of polycarbonate).This will bring the problem of aspect of performance in some applications, and partly cause is that the hydrolysis of the terminal hydroxyl that exists in the polycarbonate causes.In addition, in melting method, generally include and add phosphoric acid so that the protection to the randomness iron pollution that causes because of the equipment seepage to be provided, thereby prevent to form color.
