Regulating Properties of Poly(p-dioxanone) Enabled by Introducing n-Alkyl Substituents of δ-Lactone
Repeatedly chemically recyclable and biodegradable poly(
p
-dioxanone) (PPDO) has some problems
such as rapidly hydrolyt
ic degradation
which is not beneficial to its storage and practical application. Herein
poly(
p
-dioxanone-
co
-
n
-alkyl substituents
δ
-lactone) (PDRVL) copolymers with side chains of different lenghs were synthesized by bulk copolymerization of
p
-dioxanone with
n
-alkyl substituents
δ
-lactone (RVL) under DPP catalysis. The thermal
crystalline and mechanical properties of the copolymers were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
wide angle X-ray diffraction analysis (WXRD) and tensile test. The results show that initial decomposition temperature and maximum decomposition temperature of the copolymers are about 250 and 390 °C
much higher than their melting point (96.2-99.6°C)
indicating that the copolymers can meet the requirements of processing and be used as thermoplastic polymers. The copolymers are semi-crystalline polymers
and their crystallinity (
D
c
) obtained from WXRD is in the range of 34%-38% and decreases with the increasing chain lengh of alkyl substituents of the comonomer. The mechanical properties of the copolymer were controlled by changing the structure of the comonomer. As the chain lengh of alkyl substituents of the comonomer increased from 3 to 7
the elastic modulus of the copolymer decreased from 483.8 MPa to 356.0 MPa
the yield strength decreased from 24.3 MPa to 21.6 MPa
and the elongation at break remained in the range of 212.7%-235.0%.Water contact angle (WCA) and water absorption test show that the introduction of hydrophobic RVL monomer weakened the hydrophilicity of PPDO
and the water absorption of the copolymer decreased with the number of carbon atoms in hydrophobic alkyl substituents of RVL. When the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl substituents was over 3
the copolymer was hydrophobic. The hydrolytic degradation of the copolymers was studied. By testing mass retention rate
the charac
teristic viscosity retention rate
and the sample surface microstructure during the degradation process
it can be concluded that different comonomer structures exert no significant effect on the hydrolytic degradation of copolymers. However
compared with the PPDO homopolymer
the PPDO-based copolymers containing hydrophobic RVL with substituted alkyl chain possessed the significantly delayed hydrolytic degradation.
