Cellulose Acetate Thermoplastics with High Modulus, Dimensional Stability and Anti-migration Properties by Using CA- g -PLA as Macromolecular Plasticizer
CHINESE JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE(2020)
摘要
Cellulose diacetate (CDA) can be melt-processed to produce numerous and widely-used plastic products. However, due to the high glass transition temperature ( T g ) of CDA, the addition of up to 30 wt% of micromolecular plasticizers is indispensable, which significantly reduces the dimensional stability and raises safety concerns from the migration of plasticizers. In this work, a series of CDA-graft-poly(lactic acid) (CDA- g -PLA) copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of lactide onto the hydroxyl groups of CDA. The resultant CDA- g -PLA copolymers possess adjustable degrees of substitution (DS PLA ) and side chain length (DP PLA ) by controlling the reaction time and feed ratio. The T g s and thermal flow temperatures ( T f s) of CDA- g -PLA strongly depend on DP PLA , such as the T g s decrease linearly with the increase of DP PLA . The CDA- g -PLA copolymers with the DP PLA of 3–9 can be directly processed to transparent plastics by melt processing without any external plasticizers, because of their low T f s of 170–215 °C. More impressively, the CDA- g -PLA can act as the macromolecular plasticizer. The obtained CDA/CDA- g -PLA has higher storage modulus, flexural modulus and Young’s modulus than the commercial CDA plasticized with triethyl citrate. In addition, the CDA/CDA- g -PLA exhibits high dimensional stability and anti-migration property. During a long-term treatment at 80 °C and 60% humidity, the CDA/CDA- g -PLA can retain the initial shape. Therefore, this work not only proposes a facile method for achieving a direct thermoplastic processing of CDA, but also provides a macromolecular plasticizer for CDA to make lightweight, stable and safer biobased thermoplastics.
