Chemical Synthesis of Atactic Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (a-P3HB) by Self-Polycondensation: Catalyst Screening and Characterization
Abstract
<jats:p>Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) is a biodegradable polyester produced mainly by bacterial fermentation in an isotactic configuration. Its high crystallinity (about 70%) and brittle behavior have limited the process window and the application of this polymer in different sectors. Atactic poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (a-P3HB) is an amorphous polymer that can be synthesized chemically and blended with the isotactic P3HB to reduce its crystallinity and improve its processability Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is the most cited synthesis route for this polymer in the literature. In this work, a new synthesis route of a-P3HB by self-polycondensation of racemic ethyl 3-hydroxybutyrate will be demonstrated. Different catalysts were tested regarding their effectiveness, and the reaction parameters were optimized using titanium isopropoxide as the catalyst. The resulting polymers were compared by self-polycondensation for their properties with those of a-P3HB obtained by the ROP and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the double bond content (DBC) was determined by UV–VIS spectroscopy by using 3-butenoic acid as a standard. Additionally, a life cycle analysis (LCA) of the new method of synthesizing has been carried out to assess the environmental impact of a-P3HB.</jats:p>
