The invention belongs to the technical field of
polymer material synthesis and preparation, and discloses biodegradable aromatic-aliphatic
copolyester and a preparation method thereof. The biodegradable aromatic-aliphatic
copolyester disclosed in the invention has the a constitutional repeating unit as shown in the specification, wherein R1 is selected from groups as shown in the specification; R3 is selected from Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba or Ra; R4 is selected from Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr, Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba or Ra; R2 is selected from groups as shown in the specification; n=1-1000; p=0-11; q=2-13. According to the invention,
binary acid or ester containing a
sulfonate group is added, which effectively improves the hydrophilic performance of the
copolyester, makes
polyester plastics be easier to be adsorbed, decomposed, and absorbed by microbe such as
bacteria and the like, and provides plastics with better biodegradability.
