Abstract: | Poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (BPA-PC) was post-polymerized by solid-state polymerization (SSP) after supercritical CO2-induced crystallization in low molecular weight particles prepolymerized via melt transesterification reaction. The effects of the crystallization conditions on melting behavior and SSP of BPA-PC were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Ubbelohde viscosity method and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The reaction kinetics of the SSP of crystallized prepolymers was studied as a function of reaction temperatures for various reaction periods. As a result, the viscosity average molecular weight of BPA-PC particles (2 mm) increased from 1.9 × 104 g/mol to 2.8 × 104 g/mol after SSP. More importantly, the significantly enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties of solid-state polymerized BPA-PC, compared with those of melt transesterification polymerized BPA-PC with the same molecular weight, can be ascribed to the substantial avoidance of undergoing high temperature during polymerization. Our work provides a useful method to obtain practical product of BPA-PC with high quality and high molecular weight. |
