Abstract

Block copolymers of poly (propylene carbonate—cyclohexyl carbonate) (PPC-PCHC) were successfully synthesized by a one-pot method with the zinc complex catalyst (Zn2G). The IR and 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra verified the introducing of PCHC segments in the copolymers. The GPC curves of the copolymers appeared only one peak and the DSC results showed three glass transition temperatures at 40 °C, 66 °C and 115 °C, indicating the three-block copolymer structure. TGA tests revealed that the thermal decomposition temperature of the synthesized block copolymers increased up to about 300 °C. The mechanical properties proved to be also enhanced greatly as evidenced by static and dynamic mechanical tests. The thermal and mechanical properties of the resultant block copolymers lay between those of PPC and PCHC, demonstrating the desired properties of a polymer can be achieved via block copolymerization.
