Abstract
In order to solve the problem of low molecular weight in the synthesis of poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF) copolyester with titanium-based catalysts, this paper introduce an appropriate amount of glycerol (GC) into PEF to branch the straight chain polyester though the transesterification-melt polycondensation method, which solve the problem of low resin viscosity and low molecular weight. The structures of the copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR, and the results showed that the modified PEF copolyesters and poly(ethylene-co-glycerol 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEGFs) were successfully prepared. The intrinsic viscosity ([η]) of PEGFs copolyesters was characterized by Ubbelohde viscosity, and the results showed that the copolyester [η] was increased from 0.25 dL/g to 0.755 dL/g. The thermal properties of copolyester were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and thermo gravimetry, and it was found that the glass transition temperature of PEGFs copolyester increased from 67.8 °C to 89.5 °C, and the maximum pyrolysis rate temperature increased from 386.6 °C to 402.8 °C. We characterized the UV resistance of PEGFs copolyester, and the results showed that PEGFs copolyester could be well degraded under ultraviolet light.
