摘要

In this study, a novel potassium carbonate/magnesium oxide (K₂CO₃/MgO) composite solid base catalyst was prepared via a wet impregnation method combined with nanoparticle agglomeration technology. This approach yielded a catalyst with a specific surface area of 21.3 m²/g. The catalyst was successfully applied to the melt transesterification of hydrogenated bisphenol A (HBPA) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC), resulting in the synthesis of hydrogenated bisphenol A-based polycarbonate (HBPA-PC) with a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 46,586 g/mol. Through a synergistic activation mechanism, this catalyst significantly reduced the activation energy of the polymerization reaction to 41.53 kJ/mol. The resulting polymer exhibited a decomposition temperature (Td5%) of 299.5 °C, a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 188 °C, and excellent optical properties (light transmittance as high as 91.03%). The findings of this study provide a new strategy for the preparation of high-performance, non-toxic polycarbonate materials, demonstrating great potential for applications in the fields of medical devices and food packaging.
