Polyvinyl Butyral Synthesis Process Based on Deep Eutectic Solvent as a Catalyst Po Li Weilan Xue Zuoxiang Zeng Li Sun Yu Bai

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) was prepared by the condensation reaction of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with n-butyraldehyde using a catalyst which is a kind of deep eutectic solvent (DES) made of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride and p-toluenesulfonic acid. The raw materials and products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The effects of the following reaction conditions on the degree of PVB acetal, yield and agglomeration of the products were investigated: the mass ratio of n-butyraldehyde to PVA (mBA/mPVA) of 0.48-0.96, the mass ratio of catalyst to PVA (mcat/mPVA) of 0.16-0.64, the low temperature reaction temperature (5-20℃), and the low temperature reaction time (1-3h). The results showed that at mBA/mPVA =0.8, mcat/mPVA =0.32, low temperature reaction temperature of 15°C and low temperature reaction time of 2 hours, the obtained PVB was a homogeneous powder with the highest acetal degree of 73.85%.
