Polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer
Obtaining a polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer comprising the structure of the following formula (I) by reaction of an isocyanate chain extender with a polylactic acid prepolymer:
Figure BDA0003682775730000071
wherein,
a. b represents the number of repeating units in the polylactic acid moiety, each independently selected from integers of 20-200, such as: 20. 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, etc.;
x is a connecting structure.
The polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer contains a structure composed of polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymerized units, which is prepared by the reaction of a polylactic acid prepolymer and an isocyanate chain extender.
The polylactic acid prepolymer is introduced into the polylactic acid part, so that the final product, namely the optical polylactic acid composition has excellent biodegradability, and the optical polylactic acid composition is used in optical components (such as optical lenses) to obtain an environment-friendly product.
The polylactic acid portion of the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer has a single optical activity so that the resulting final product has good optical properties. In one embodiment, the polylactic acid moiety in the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer is a poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), which can be prepared by using a poly (L-lactic acid) prepolymer. In one embodiment, the polylactic acid moiety in the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer is a dextrorotatory polylactic acid (PDLA), which can be prepared by using a dextrorotatory polylactic acid prepolymer.
In one embodiment, the polylactic acid prepolymer has a number average molecular weight of about 0.2 to 3 ten thousand, preferably about 0.5 to 2 ten thousand, for example about 1 ten thousand. The number average molecular weight of the polylactic acid prepolymer influences the reactivity and rate of the polylactic acid prepolymer participating in the latter-stage polymerization, side reactions, and the like. The excessively high number average molecular weight results in the reduction of the activity of the reactive groups (i.e., hydroxyl groups) at both ends of the polylactic acid prepolymer, which is not favorable for the subsequent reaction with diisocyanate; the molecular weight of the final branched block copolymer is low due to the low number average molecular weight, and the mechanical properties are poor.
a. b represents the number of the repeating units of the polylactic acid part in the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer, influences the chain length of the polylactic acid part, further influences the proportion of the polylactic acid part in the product, and influences the performance of the final product. In one embodiment of the invention, a, b in formula (I) are integers each independently selected from 20 to 200, for example: 20. 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, etc. The chain length of the polylactic acid part is too long, the proportion of the polylactic acid part is too high, the refractive property and the toughness of the optical polylactic acid composition of a final product are reduced, and the heat resistance is lower; the chain length of the polylactic acid part is too short, the proportion of the polylactic acid part is too small, the light transmittance of the final product of the optical polylactic acid composition is reduced, the color is whitish, and the processing thermal stability is poor.
n represents the number of repeating polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer units. In one embodiment of the invention, n in formula (I) is an integer selected from 15 to 75, such as 15, 25, 35, 45, 65, 75, and the like. The repeated number of the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymerization units is too high, the molecular weight of the final product is too high, the melt fluidity is poor, and the injection molding processing is difficult; the repeated number is too low, the molecular weight of the finally prepared copolymer of the final product is low, the mechanical properties are poor, and the processing thermal stability is poor. X is a connecting structure, and the structure of the connecting structure depends on an isocyanate chain extender used in the preparation process of the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer. By reaction of the isocyanate chain extender with the polylactic acid prepolymer, the linking structure X is introduced, into which the corresponding polyurethane moiety is introduced. The introduction of the polyurethane structure helps to improve the mechanical properties (e.g., toughness) of the product and improve the optical characteristics of the product, thereby obtaining a high-light-transmission, high-refractive-index product.
In one embodiment, the linking structure X is: - (L) 1 ) p - (A ring) q -(L 2 ) r - (B ring) s -(L 3 ) t -。
Wherein p, q, r, s, t are each independently 0 or 1, and p, q, r, s, t are not simultaneously 0. 0 indicates that the corresponding fragment is not present in the connecting structure X, and the adjacent fragments are directly connected through chemical bonds. As an example to illustrate in detail: when p is 0, the linking structure X is- (A ring) q -(L 2 ) r - (B ring) s -(L 3 ) t -; when q is 0, the linking structure X is: - (L) 1 ) p -(L 2 ) r - (B ring) s -(L 3 ) t -。
In one embodiment, p, q are 1, r, s, t are 0. In another embodiment, p, t are 0 and p, r, s are 1. In another embodiment, p, r, s, t are 0 and q is 1. In another embodiment, p is 0 and q, r, s, t are 1.
L 1 、L 2 、L 3 Each independently selected from C 1-6 An alkyl group. Said C is 1-6 The alkyl group may optionally be interrupted by one or more O atoms. Herein "C 1-6 An alkyl O atom interrupted "means that there is an O atom between two C atoms, forming a structure of" -C-O-C- ". In particular, for "C 1 Alkyl ", when interrupted by an O oxygen atom, means that it forms a" -O-C- "or" -C-O- "structure.
Ring A and ring B are each independently selected from: c 3-8 Cycloalkyl ring, C 6-10 Aromatic ring and C 5-10 A heteroaromatic ring. The connection manner of the A-ring and B-ring to the adjacent fragment is not particularly limited.
L 1 、L 2 、L 3 Ring a and ring B are each independently and optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from R, which is independently selected from: c 1-6 Alkyl radical, C 2-6 Ester group, halogen, cyano, C 1-6 Alkoxy radical, C 3-8 Cycloalkyl ring, C 6-10 Aromatic ring, C 5-10 A heteroaromatic ring.
In a particular embodiment, the linking structure X is selected from the following structures: -Ph (CH) 3 )-、-(CH 2 ) 6 -、
Figure BDA0003682775730000091
In one embodiment, the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer of the present invention further comprises an isocyanate group. In the process of blending the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer and the thiol compound, the isocyanate group reacts with the sulfydryl in the thiol compound, so that the obtained polylactic acid optical resin has a three-dimensional structure and excellent performance.
The number average molecular weight, also referred to as viscosity average molecular weight, can be determined using methods conventional in the art, such as by: the polylactic acid-b-polyethylene glycol block copolymer was dissolved in chloroform at a concentration of 0.25 wt%, and measured by gel permeation chromatography (Viscotek TDA 305) using polystyrene as a standard material. In one embodiment, the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer has a number average molecular weight of about 5 to 15 ten thousand, preferably about 10 to 15 ten thousand, for example about 12 ten thousand. The polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer has proper number average molecular weight, which is favorable for obtaining better mechanical property, processing property, refractive index, light transmittance and the like. The number average molecular weight is too high, the melt viscosity is high, the injection molding processing is difficult, and the refractive index is reduced; the number average molecular weight is too low, and various mechanical properties and processing stability of the prepared copolymer are poor.
The melt index, also known as melt flow index, melt flow index or melt flow index, is used to indicate the flowability of a material during processing. The larger the melt index, the lower the viscosity of the polymer material. The melt index can be determined using methods customary in the art, for example by measuring the number of grams of melt flowing out in 10min at 160 ℃ under a load of 2.16kg using a melt index tester (MFI-1211). In one embodiment, the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer has a melt index from 5g/10min to 45g/10min, preferably from 5g/10min to 30g/10min, more preferably from 8 to 25g/10min, for example about 20g/10 min. The polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer has proper melt index, is favorable for better melt flowability and is convenient for injection molding processing. The melt index is too high, the viscosity of the polylactic acid-polyurethane copolymer is too low, the injection molding processing shrinkage is severe, and the mechanical property of the product is poor; the melt index is too low, the injection molding pressure is too high, and the temperature is too high.
The glass transition temperature, which is the temperature at which a polymer transitions from a high elastic state to a glassy state, is generally indicated by Tg. The glass transition temperature (Tg) can be determined using methods conventional in the art, for example using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, TA instruments) with a temperature ramp rate of, for example, 10 deg.C/min.

Table 5 shows the optical property test results of the optical lenses prepared by the examples and comparative examples.

The optical lens manufactured by the comparative examples 1 to 4 has less than ideal optical characteristics, particularly the comparative example 1 has the refractive index, the haze and the light transmission average ratio which do not meet the requirements of the optical resin. The optical lenses of comparative examples 5 to 7 were obtained which had lower light transmittance and higher haze and greatly reduced refractive index and Abbe number because of phase separation in the matrix due to the use of too much thiol compound.
The optical test results show that the optical lenses prepared in the comparative examples 5 and 6 have poor optical characteristics, and the refractive index, the haze and the light transmission uniformity of the optical lenses do not meet the requirements of optical resins. The optical lenses obtained by comparative examples 5 and 6 still have a large gap in optical characteristics compared to comparative examples 2 to 4, and thus do not have a prospect for use in the optical field.
The above examples are merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and any obvious variations and modifications which would occur to persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention are to be considered as part of the invention.
