Erhöhung der Hydrolysebeständigkeit von biologisch abbaubaren Polyestern Increasing the hydrolysis resistance of biodegradable polyesters

Beschreibungdescription

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Hydrolysebeständigkeit von biologisch abbaubaren Polyestern ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Polymilchsäure und Polyhydroxyalkanoat, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dassThe present invention relates to a method for increasing the hydrolysis resistance of biodegradable polyesters selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoate, characterized in that

dem biologisch abbaubaren Polyester 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-% eines Epoxidgruppen-haltigen Copolymers auf Basis Styrol, Acrylsäureester und/oder Methacrylsäureester im Extruder bei 160 bis 220 0C zugemischt werden.the biodegradable polyester are mixed 0.1 to 5 wt .-% of an epoxy group-containing copolymer based on styrene, acrylate and / or methacrylate in the extruder at 160 to 220 0 C.

Biologisch abbaubare Polyestermischungen ausgewählt aus der Gruppe bestehend aus Polymilchsäure und Polyhydroxyalkanoat haben den großen Nachteil, dass sie unter Verarbeitungsbedingungen - beispielsweise im Extruder - abbauen. Der Abbau ist bei Temperaturen über 150 0C so rasch, dass die Biopolymere für viele Anwendungen nicht in Frage kommen.Biodegradable polyester mixtures selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoate have the great disadvantage that they degrade under processing conditions - for example in the extruder. The degradation is so rapid at temperatures above 150 0 C that the biopolymers are not suitable for many applications.

Aus WO 2004/069912 ist bekannt, dass die Hydrolysebeständigkeit von Polyestern wie PBT durch Zugabe von epoxidierten natürlichen Ölen oder Fettsäureestern erhöht werden kann. Dieser Effekt reicht jedoch bei weitem nicht aus, die eingangs beschriebenen bei hohen Temperaturen labilen Biopolymere zu stabilisieren.From WO 2004/069912 it is known that the hydrolysis resistance of polyesters such as PBT can be increased by adding epoxidized natural oils or fatty acid esters. However, this effect is far from sufficient to stabilize the biopolymers labile at high temperatures described above.

Überraschenderweise wurde nun wie eingangs erwähnt gefunden, dass der Zusatz von 0,1 bis 5 Gew.-% eines Epoxidgruppen-haltigen Copolymers auf Basis Styrol, Acrylsäureester und/oder Methacrylsäureester im Extruder bei 160 bis 220 0C die Hydrolysestabilität der eingangs erwähnten Biopolymere entscheidend verbessert.Surprisingly, it has now been found, as mentioned above, that the addition of from 0.1 to 5% by weight of an epoxide group-containing copolymer based on styrene, acrylic ester and / or methacrylic acid ester in the extruder at 160 to 220 ° C. decisively determines the stability to hydrolysis of the biopolymers mentioned in the introduction improved.

Die höhere Hydrolysebeständigkeit geht mit einer erhöhten Viskosität und einer ver- besserten Scherstabilität der Biopolymerschmelzen einher. Die Epoxidgruppen- haltigen Copolymere reagieren dabei unter Verzweigung und Kettenverlängerung mit den durch den thermischen oder hydrolytischen Abbau entstandenen Bruchstücken der verarbeiteten Polyester. Dies führt, einerseits zu einem erhöhten Molekulargewicht, andererseits aber auch zu einer Verringerung von funktionellen Endgruppen, wie bei- spielsweise Carboxylendgruppen.The higher hydrolysis resistance is accompanied by an increased viscosity and improved shear stability of the biopolymer melts. The epoxide group-containing copolymers react under branching and chain extension with the resulting from the thermal or hydrolytic degradation fragments of the processed polyester. On the one hand, this leads to an increased molecular weight, but on the other hand also to a reduction in functional end groups, such as, for example, carboxyl end groups.

Als biologisch abbaubaren Polyester ist beispielsweise Polymilchsäure geeignet. Polymilchsäure mit dem folgenden Eigenschaftsprofil wird bevorzugt eingesetzt: einer Schmelzvolumenrate (MVR bei 190° C und 2.16 kg nach ISO 1133 von 0.5 - vorzugsweise 2 - bis 9 ml/10 Minuten einem Schmelzpunkt unter 175° C; einem Glaspunkt (Tg) größer 55°C einem Wassergehalt von kleiner 1000 ppm einem Monomeren-Restgehalt (L-Lactid) von kleiner 0.3%. einem Molekulargewicht von größer 80 000 Dalton.As a biodegradable polyester, for example, polylactic acid is suitable. Polylactic acid having the following property profile is preferably used: a melt volume rate (MVR at 190 ° C and 2.16 kg according to ISO 1133 of 0.5 - preferably 2 - to 9 ml / 10 minutes a melting point below 175 ° C; a glass transition point (Tg) greater than 55 ° C a water content of less than 1000 ppm of a residual monomer content (L-lactide) of less than 0.3%. a molecular weight greater than 80,000 daltons.

Der Schmelzpunkt lag bei 1610C, der Schmelzvolumenindex lag bei 11 ml/10 min (2,16 kg bei 1700C, nach ISO 1133). Die vorliegenden Versuche zeigen deutlich, dass die Schmelzviskosität der reinen PLA- und PHB/V-Schmelze bereits bei 1800C rasch abnimmt, während die Schmelzviskosität der mit 1 Gew-% Joncryl ADR 4368 versetzten Schmelzen konstant bleibt und sogar leicht ansteigt. Eine ähnliche stabilisierende Wirkung zeigen diese Epoxide auch in Bezug zur Hydrolysebeständigkeit. Während die Viskositätszahl (oder das Molekulargewicht) von bei 700C in 95% Luftfeuchte gelagerten Proben rasch abnimmt, sind die Viskositätszahlen der mit je 1 % Joncryl ADR 4368 versetzten Proben deutlich höher.
