Synthesis of melt-stable and semi-crystalline poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) by ring-opening (co)polymerisation of 1,4-dioxan-2-one with different lactones
Abstract
<p>High molecular weight poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) (PPDX) can be readily synthesized by catalysed ring-opening polymerisation of 1,4-dioxan-2-one (PDX) using aluminium trialkoxide active species as initiator. Even though the resulting poly(ester-alt-ether) chains display good thermo-mechanical properties, they suffer from low thermal stability. PPDX is known to thermally degrade mainly through unzipping depolymerisation promoted from the hydroxyl end-groups and yielding PDX monomer. To overcome this drawback, chemical modification of the PPDX hydroxyl end-groups was first attempted with trichloroacetyl isocyanate; however, with limited success in terms of thermal stability. Interestingly, it has been shown that the copolymerisation of PDX with tiny amounts of lactones like ε-caprolactone (CL) and δ-valerolactone (VL), is an efficient way to enhance the thermal stability of the resulting polyester chains without significantly compromising the crystallinity and melting temperature of PPDX. The thermal stability of the resulting polyester chains was studied by isothermal TGA under inert atmosphere as well as under air. For instance, when PDX was copolymerised with a low amount of CL by initiation with Al(O<sup>i</sup>Pr)<sub>3</sub> at 100°C in bulk, a melt-stable copolymer was rapidly formed with a composition close to the starting feed and a multiblock-like structure as shown by <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy. The incorporation of 3-15 wt% of CL into PPDX chains substantially increases the thermal stability of resulting PPDX-rich copolyesters, while preserving a high melting temperature ranging between 90 and 100°C. Furthermore, an interesting internal plasticising effect is also detected by DSC with the glass transition temperature decreasing from, e.g., -10 to -22°C in the presence of 14 wt% CL copolymerised in the PPDX chains.</p>
