Abstract

A titanium catalyst and a synthesizing method of polyester resins are provided in the present disclosure. The titanium catalyst has a chemical structure represented by Formula (I), Formula (II) or Formula (III).

The symbols shown in the Formula (I), the Formula (II) or the Formula (III) are defined in the description. The synthesizing method of polyester resins includes providing the titanium catalyst, performing a feeding step, performing a heating and pressurizing step and performing a heating and vacuuming step. The titanium catalyst and a heat stabilizer are added into an autoclave before the feeding step or before the heating and vacuuming step.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A titanium catalyst, having a chemical structure shown as Formula (I) or Formula (II):

wherein each of the R 1 in the Formula (I) is independently an n-propyl group, an isopropyl group, a phenyl group, a 3,5-xylyl group, a group shown as Formula (MAI), a group shown as Formula (MAII) or a group shown as Formula (MAIII):

each of the R 2 in the Formula (II) is independently a methyl group, a phenyl group, a trifluoromethyl group or an ethyl group, each of the R 3 in the Formula (II) is independently a hydrogen or an n-propyl group, and the R 2 and the R 3 are not simultaneously the methyl group and the hydrogen, respectively.

2. The titanium catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the titanium catalyst has a chemical structure shown as Formula (IA), Formula (IB), Formula (IC), Formula (ID), Formula (IE), Formula (IF), Formula (IG), Formula (IIA-H), Formula (IIB-H), Formula (IIC-H) or Formula (IID-Pr):

3. A synthesizing method of polyester resins, comprising:
providing the titanium catalyst of claim 1 ;
performing a feeding step, wherein a reaction monomer is added into an autoclave, the reaction monomer comprises a dicarboxylic acid monomer and a diol monomer, a number of carbon atoms of the dicarboxylic acid monomer is less than 20, and a number of carbon atoms of the diol monomer is less than 20;
performing a heating and pressurizing step, wherein the autoclave is set in a first heating state and a pressurizing state so as to carry out an esterification reaction; and
performing a heating and vacuuming step, wherein the autoclave is set in a second heating state and is vacuumed to a vacuum state so as to carry out a polymerization reaction;
wherein the titanium catalyst and a heat stabilizer are added into the autoclave before the feeding step or before the heating and vacuuming step.

4. The synthesizing method of polyester resins of claim 3 , further comprising:
providing a promoter, wherein the promoter is added into the autoclave before the feeding step or before the heating and vacuuming step.

5. The synthesizing method of polyester resins of claim 3 , wherein the dicarboxylic acid monomer is terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, succinic acid or a mixture thereof.

6. The synthesizing method of polyester resins of claim 3 , wherein the diol monomer is ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, neopentyl glycol, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol, bis(hydroxymethyl)tricyclodecane, isosorbide or a mixture thereof.

7. The synthesizing method of polyester resins of claim 3 , wherein a temperature range of the first heating state is room temperature to 270° C., and a pressure range of the pressurizing state is 0 atm to 6 atm.

8. The synthesizing method of polyester resins of claim 3 , wherein a temperature range of the second heating state is 250° C. to 300° C., and a pressure range of the vacuum state is less than 3 torr.
