The invention discloses a preparation method of
polycaprolactone. The method comprises the following steps: mixing a catalyst, an
organic solvent and
caprolactone; carrying out ring-opening
polymerization in the presence of
anhydrous and anaerobic
inert gases; treating a reactant to obtain
polycaprolactone after reacting, wherein the catalyst is an amido anilino group
lithium compound. With the amido anilino group
lithium compound as a catalyst, the preparation method is good in reaction
controllability, mild in condition, high in
reaction rate and high in catalytic activity;
polymerization reaction can be carried out without adding an
alcohol-assisted catalyst; and the obtained
polycaprolactone is controllable in molecular weight, high in productivity and few in
metal residues. In addition, the
polymerization reaction process is simple; a general
solution polymerization method can be adopted; through control on polymerization
reaction conditions, the molecular weight of the
polymer can be regulated and controlled; and the obtained
polymer is narrow in molecular
weight distribution, has excellent physical and chemical characteristics, and can meet the requirements of the market.
