- Example 4 In a flask equipped with a stirrer, DM FS. Og was obtained in Example 4 (Step 3). 2.0 g (0.021 mol) of polysuccinimide (weight average molecular weight: 154,000) was charged to obtain a uniform polymer solution.
- cross-linking agent solution [0.56 g (0.003 1 mol) of L-lysine hydrochloride and 0.8 g of distilled water was added to 0.15 g (0.0037 mol) of sodium hydroxide. Solution neutralized with hydrochloric acid at 25 ° C. over 30 seconds. Five minutes after the addition of the crosslinking agent solution, the reaction mass became a gel-like material unique to the crosslinked product, and the stirring was stopped. The crosslinked product was allowed to stand at 25 ° C for 20 hours. Next, a mixed solution consisting of 80 g of distilled water and 80 g of methanol was charged into a mixer, and the crosslinked product was cut with stirring.
- the water absorption of the obtained polymer with respect to distilled water was 620 [g Zg-polymer] (after 40 minutes), and the water absorption with respect to physiological saline was 50 [g / g-polymer] (after 40 minutes).
- a flask equipped with a stirrer was charged with 8.0 g of DMF and 2.0 g (0.021 mol) of the succinic acid imide (weight average molecular weight of 320,000) obtained in Comparative Example 5 and homogeneously charged. A polymer solution was obtained.
- the weight average molecular weight of the obtained pale yellow succinic acid imid was 16,000.
- the yield of polysuccinic acid imid was 98% based on the theoretical amount of polysuccinic acid imid calculated from the starting material aspartic acid.
- Comparative Example 1 a reaction operation was performed on a reaction product containing 18% by weight of an acidic catalyst, but the reaction state was heterogeneous, and the molecular weight of the generated polysuccinimide was low. During the course of the reaction, the reactants were partially viscous and partially foamed, and were in a non-uniform state. Further, since the reactants adhered to the reaction vessel and the stirring blade, it was extremely difficult to continue the reaction operation.
- Example 1 the production of the liquid low molecular weight polymer mixture was performed with the phosphoric acid concentration within the predetermined range, and as a result, the liquid low molecular weight polymer mixture was obtained as a good homogeneous solution. Also, in the process of producing the liquid low-molecular-weight polymer mixture, stable production could be performed without generating a highly viscous phase or a foaming state.
- Example 2 a low-molecular-weight solid polymer mixture in which the concentration of phosphoric acid and the weight average molecular weight of the contained polysuccinimide were adjusted to a predetermined range was obtained using methanol as an extraction solvent.
- the solid-state low molecular weight polymer mixture was subjected to a vacuum solid-state polymerization operation in Example 4.
- the reactants did not melt or fuse, and remained in a powdery state with a high weight.
- a solid high molecular weight polymer mixture having an average molecular weight of polysuccinic acid imid was obtained. From Examples 1, 2, and 4, it was confirmed that polysuccinic acid imide can be produced in high yield.
- Example 3 a low-molecular-weight solid polymer mixture in which the concentration of phosphoric acid and the weight average molecular weight of the polysuccinimide contained therein were adjusted to a predetermined range was obtained using methanol containing phosphoric acid as an extraction solvent.
- the solid-state low molecular weight polymer mixture was subjected to a vacuum-based solid-state polymerization operation in Example 5, and as a result, in the reaction process, the reactants did not melt and fuse, but remained in powder form.
- a solid, high molecular weight polymer mixture having a high weight average molecular weight polysuccinimide was obtained. From Examples 1, 3, and 5, it was confirmed that polysuccinic acid imide can be produced in high yield.
- Example 6 a normal-pressure solid-phase polymerization operation was performed. In the course of the reaction, the reactants did not melt and fuse, and the powder remained in a powdery state. A solid high molecular weight polymer mixture with succinimide was obtained. In Example 7 in which the particle size was smaller, polysuccinic acid imid having a higher molecular weight and a higher weight average molecular weight than Example 6 was obtained.
- the extraction solvent used in the production process of the solid low-molecular-weight polymer mixture contains phosphorus generated when polysuccinimide having a high weight average molecular weight is separated from the solid high-molecular-weight polymer mixture.
- a polysuccinimide having a high weight average molecular weight was obtained in high yield.
- Example 11 a water-absorbing polymer was synthesized using polysuccinimide having a high weight-average molecular weight produced by the method of the present invention. High yields could be obtained.
- polysuccinimide having a high weight-average molecular weight was obtained in high yield.
- a polysuccinic acid imide having a high weight-average molecular weight can be produced by a simpler apparatus, for example, by normal pressure solid phase polymerization.
- problems such as the formation of extremely high viscous phases, excessive foam formation, and the formation of coagulated lumps of the reactants, which occurred during the course of the polymerization operation according to the conventional technology, were reduced by the acid catalyst concentration and the It is possible to produce a polysuccinimide having a high weight average molecular weight, which is solved by setting the weight average molecular weight appropriately and is suitable for continuous and large-scale production.
