Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of melt-stable homo- and copolyesters by ring opening polymerization of the corresponding cyclic monomers, e.g. the cyclic diester of lactic acid, in the presence of an initiator / stabilizer system.
  • Homo- and copolyesters of L- and D, L-lactic acid are biodegradable polymer materials with thermoplastic processing and
  • Application properties can be used in a variety of ways as packaging plastic, in hygiene products, for disposable articles, but also as a surgical implant material or galenic auxiliary for parenteral drug delivery systems.
  • An indispensable prerequisite for the use of these homo- or copolyesters in all the fields of application mentioned are constant product properties at the molecular level, such as molar mass and molar mass distribution for the homo- and copolyesters, maintenance of chirality in the case of poly-L-lactic acid or comonomer ratio and comonomer distribution in the Trap the copolyester. Under technical conditions, this constancy of product properties can only be achieved with synthesis processes that can be safely controlled or with efficient additives.
  • L, L- or D, L-dilactide Organometallic compounds of tin are preferably used to initiate or catalyze this polymerization reaction (see, for example, J. Dahlmann, G. Rafler: Acta Polymerica 44 (1993) 103 and cited therein).
  • initiator in the ring opening polymerization is also largely determined by the substrate to be polymerized.
  • Cyclic monoesters such as caprolactone, or cyclic carbonates, such as 1,3-dioxan-2-one (trimethylene carbonate)
  • 1,3-dioxan-2-one trimethylene carbonate
  • 1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione diglycolide
  • Rafler Acta Polymerica 44 (1993) 168
  • they can therefore be used without problems in the presence of the initiators mentioned in US Pat. No. 5,484,881 or elsewhere can be polymerized (cf.
  • tin-containing initiators preferably the tin-ll-octonoate most commonly used in accordance with the prior art, cause a reaction profile which is difficult to master from a technical point of view, with an extremely steep increase at the start of the reaction, an undefined molecular weight maximum and a pronounced degradation of the polymer Running through the maximum (cf. E. Dahlmann, G. Rafler: Acta Polymerica 44 (1993) 107).
  • This profile of the temporal development of the molar mass which is unsuitable for an industrial process, is highly concentration-dependent, whereby in contrast to ionically and radically initiated polymerization processes of olefins, at least for the majority of the tin-initiated polymerizations, turnover and molar mass in the ring-opening polymerization are synchronous, i.e. H. high polymerization rate and high conversion also lead to high molecular weights. Ring-chain equilibrium and heterochain character of the polymers formed determine their molecular and thus also their deformation and application properties. Especially the
  • the equilibrium character of this special polymerization and the associated tendency to regress of the cyclic monomer by depolymerization is also initiated or activated by the initiator.
  • This behavior of the initiators not only complicates the manageability of the synthesis process, but also leads to considerably disruptive depolymerizations with a corresponding reduction in the molar mass during the thermoplastic processing of the polymers.
  • the monomer formed in the back reaction also leads to a considerably faster and uncontrollable hydrolysis of the polymer in Presence of moisture and thus an undesirable impairment of the possible uses of the polymers.
  • Nonspecific thermooxidative and hydrolytic degradation reactions are inhibited by water-binding additives (hydrolysis), such as carbodiimides, activated acid derivatives or isocyanates (cf., for example, US Pat. No. 6,005,068).
  • water-binding additives such as carbodiimides, activated acid derivatives or isocyanates (cf., for example, US Pat. No. 6,005,068).
  • the long-known phosphites eg Ultranox RTM 626) or sterically hindered phenols are also used as antioxidants in US Pat. No. 6,005,068, preference being given to commercially available IRGANOX types.
  • the ring opening polymerization should proceed faster in the presence of these antioxidants, and significantly higher molar masses should be achieved, as will be shown with the aid of Example 13.
  • the polymer should be able to be stabilized against degradation reactions during extraction of monomer in vacuo, as in Example 11 shown.
  • monomer regression cannot be achieved in this way when the polymer is processed:
  • radical scavengers such as Irganox or Ultranox when remelting already polymerized samples from which the monomer had been extracted causes a new formation of monomer (see Table 13 in comparison to Table 12 of US Pat. No. 6,005,068).
  • Initiator combinations based on organotin and organotitanium compounds which intervene differently in ring opening polymerization and cyclizing depolymerization, act in a very different reaction mechanistic manner, but with a very good effect.
  • the depolymerization can be suppressed under bulk polymerization conditions, the extreme character of the polymerization profiles largely overcome and the process can thus be made more reliable (see DE 101 13 302.2).
  • melt-stable homo- and copolyesters which are based on cyclic esters of L. - and allow D, L-lactic acid and other cyclic monomers, in particular further cyclic esters, to be polymerized, to be produced discontinuously or continuously in differently designed plant equipment and to be processed without monomer regression.
  • Molecularly particularly uniform products should preferably result, regardless of the polymerization conditions.
  • the ring opening polymerization is carried out in the presence of known organotin initiators, if appropriate in the presence of further initiators and / or stabilizers based on metals of subgroup IV, in particular based on titanium or zirconium.
  • organotin initiators if appropriate in the presence of further initiators and / or stabilizers based on metals of subgroup IV, in particular based on titanium or zirconium.
  • reducing agents may be added during production, preferably when or shortly before the desired degree of polymerization is reached, but above all during subsequent thermoplastic deformation, which largely or completely suppress the reversibility of the reaction.
  • R 1 and R 2 are each independently hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl and X is -OR 3 or -NR1R 2 , where R 3 is hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, M 1 or AM 11 with M 1 is alkali metal ion and M 11 is alkaline earth metal ion and the radicals Ri and R 2 have the meaning given above.

  • the procedure according to the invention not only allows the ring opening polymerization to be reliably controlled by the adjustability of a stable molar mass level (cf.example 3 and FIG.
  • the stabilization of the molecular weight according to the invention by organophosphorus additives based on phosphinates can be carried out both in batch production, e.g. in stirred reactors or kneaders, as well as in continuous processes in vertical or horizontal reactors.
  • Reactive extrusion processes in co-rotating twin-screw extruders are particularly efficient, in which the dosing of the melt stabilizer is particularly simple and the homogeneous distribution of the additive in the highly viscous polyester melt poses no difficulties.
  • the additive is preferably incorporated at a point in time at which the reaction has reached the desired degree of conversion.
  • the additive is preferably metered in at a location where the polymer is short of leaving the reactor, e.g. shortly before the discharge zone of a (screw) extruder.
  • the additives according to the invention can be metered in either directly as a pure substance, in solution or in the form of a masterbatch with the polymer or else with the monomer.
  • the initiator / stabilizer system is also used for the synthesis of statistical and non-statistical binary or ternary copolymers by ring-opening polymerization.
  • the statistical copolyesters are produced by simultaneous addition (discontinuous) or metering (continuous) of the monomeric esters or diesters.
  • Non-statistical copolyesters are obtained with the gradual addition of comonomer or preferably by reactive compounding of the homopolyesters in reactors of high mixing intensity, such as kneaders or twin-screw extruders.
  • tin compounds for the initiator / stabilizer system are, for example, tin ll carboxylates, tin IV alkoxides, dialkoxy tin oxides, trialkoxy tin hydroxides and tin IV aryls.

  • the concentration of the initiator / stabilizer system according to the invention can be freely selected within wide limits, but the stabilizer must be used at least equimolar to the initiator.
