摘要

By using a dinuclear salen-Cr(III) complex

copolymerization of PO/CO2 and LA could be realized more successfully than that of mononuclear salen-Cr(III) complex. So that

gradient and random copolymers were obtained with modificable microstructure by adjusting the reaction temperature.

Abstract

Copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO)/carbon dioxide (CO

) and lactide (LA) is achievable to form new copolymers

combining the advantages of both poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) and polylactide (PLA). In this study

we designed a dinuclear Salen-Cr(III) complex

which showed higher efficiency for copolymerization of PO/CO

and LA than that of mononuclear Salen-Cr(III) complex. Besides

we successfully obtained gradient and random copolymers of PPC-PLA in one pot. Furthermore

by adjusting reaction temperature

block ratios of PPC/PLA in copolymers were controllable (block ratio of PPC/PLA=1.0 at 40 °C

while block ratio of PPC/PLA=0.5 at room temperature). While increasing the reaction temperature to 60 °C

conversion of LA was much faster than that of PO so that gradient copolymers were obtained.
