[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to polyphenylene sulfide (hereinafter referred to as PPS).
This article relates to a method for producing PPS with a high melt viscosity. PPS is attracting attention as a material for electronic equipment and automobile equipment due to its excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance. Furthermore, it can be molded into films, sheets, fibers, etc. by injection molding, extrusion molding, etc., and is widely used in fields where heat resistance is required. [Prior Art] The following methods are conventionally known as methods for producing PPS. (1) A method of melting and reacting elemental sulfur, dichlorobenzene, and a base without a solvent. (U.S. Patent No.
2513188, 2538941, etc.) (2) Alkali metal sulfide salts, especially Na 2 S・9H 2 O, are heated in a polar solvent to dehydrate the crystal water of Na 2 S・9H 2 O, and dichlorobenzene is removed. In addition, a method of heating polymerization. (U.S. Patent No. 3354129, etc.) (3) In method (2) above, a polar solvent is heated in the presence of a carboxylic acid salt to dehydrate the crystal water of Na 2 S 9H 2 O, and dichlorobenzene is added. A method of heating and polymerizing. (U.S. Patent No. 3919177, U.S. Patent No. 4089847
However, in method (1) above, the melt viscosity, which is a measure of the molecular weight of the resulting polymer, is too low, making it difficult to obtain a practical PPS. In method (2), PPS with a slightly higher melt viscosity than in (1) is obtained and can be used for painting and coating purposes, but it cannot be used for molding purposes unless it is further heat-treated after polymerization. That is, the obtained PPS as it is does not have a melt viscosity that can be molded. In other words,
In order to use the PPS obtained by this method for molding purposes, a heat treatment step of heat treating the obtained PPS is essential, which makes the process complicated. Method (3) is an improvement on method (2) and is a method for obtaining PPS having a melt viscosity increased to the extent that it can be used for molding purposes without the above-mentioned heat treatment. However, the problem with this method is that a large amount of water-soluble organic acid salts, especially acetate, coexists in the polymerization system and a large amount of organic acids are mixed into the treated wastewater after polymerization, resulting in pollution problems. There is a risk of causing
Moreover, eliminating it requires a large amount of expense. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional PPS manufacturing method, and provides PPS with a melt viscosity increased to the extent that it can be molded without heat treatment. The present invention provides a method for producing PPS that can be easily obtained without using. [Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is a method for producing PPS by coexisting an alkaline earth metal hydroxide in the polymerization system and polymerizing it, and details thereof will be described below. In the present invention, in order to increase the melt viscosity of PPS, the alkaline earth metal hydroxide coexisting in the polymerization system includes calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, etc., and among these, calcium hydroxide is particularly preferred. This melt viscosity increasing effect is caused by oxides or hydroxides other than alkaline earth metals, such as
Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , Al(OH) 3 , etc. have almost no effect, and alkaline earth metal hydroxides have this effect. The amount of the hydroxide added must be in the range of 0.1 to 3 moles per mole of the sulfur source, particularly preferably in the range of 0.2 to 1 mole. If less than 0.1 mol is added, the effect of increasing the melt viscosity is small, and if it exceeds 3 mol, the melt viscosity becomes too large, making molding difficult, which is not preferable. The hydroxide may be added at any time before P-dihalobenzene is added and polymerization is initiated. In order to effectively participate in the polymerization reaction, the hydroxide used in the present invention is desirably used in the form of as fine a powder as possible. Therefore, it is preferable to use the hydroxide after pulverizing it with a ball mill or the like. The polymerization solvent used in the present invention is preferably a polar solvent, particularly an aprotic solvent that is stable against alkalis at high temperatures. For example, N, N-
Dimethylacetamide, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoramide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 1,
Examples include 3-dimethylimidazolidinone, among which N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is most preferred. As the sulfur source used in the present invention, alkali metal sulfides, alkali metal hydrosulfides and alkali metal bases, hydrogen sulfide and alkali metal bases can be used, but alkali metal sulfides and alkali metal hydrosulfides are in the form of hydrates. I don't mind if it is used. Also,
These sulfur sources may be prepared in situ in the system prior to addition of P-dihalobenzene into the polymerization system, or those prepared outside the system may be added. Before adding P-dihalobenzene and conducting polymerization, it is preferable to remove water in the system by distillation or the like to reduce the amount to 1.5 molar equivalent or less per sulfur source. Preferred sulfur sources include sodium sulfide, a combination of sodium hydrosulfide and sodium hydroxide, and a combination of hydrogen sulfide and sodium hydroxide. As the P-dihalobenzene used in the present invention, P-dichlorobenzene and P-dibromobenzene are preferable. Polymerization at 200-300℃, preferably 220-280℃
It is carried out under stirring for 0.5 to 10 hours, preferably 1 to 5 hours. P-dihalobenzene used in the present invention is (sulfur source): (P-dihalobenzene)=
1: is preferably in the range of 0.95 to 1.10, and the amount of solvent can be adjusted so that the amount of polymer produced during polymerization is 7 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 40% by weight of the system. . The polymer obtained by the above method has the general formula
