PLA-PEG-PLA tri-block copolymer was synthesized by precision microwave organic synthesis system which combining single-mode focusing microwave radiation technology and synchronized pneumatic gas cooling technology. In the experiment, porcine pancreatic lipase(PPL) or tin octoate(Sn(Oct)2) as a catalyst respectively, and poly(ethylene glycol) as a co-initiator to initiate the bulk ring-opening polymerization of D,L-LA. In order to find the best reaction conditions, the influences of macrowave power, the type and content of catalyst, irradiation time and reaction temperature on the yield of copolymers were analyzed by orthogonal test. Furthermore, PLA-PEG-PLA tri-block copolymers with different composition were perpared by changing the nD,L-LA/nPEG feed ratio. The structure and properties of the tri-block copolymer were studied by IR, 1H NMR, GPC and surface contact angle measurements. Results showed that PLA-PEG-PLA tri-block copolymer was both successly obtained using the two catalysts under single-mode focus microwave irridation, but the catalyst sufficiency of the PPL was low than that of the Sn(Oct)2. The nD,L-LA/nPEG feed ratio had a strong influence on the structure and properties of tri-block copolymer, higher nD,L-LA/nPEG feed ratio led to copolymer with higher molecular weight. Compared to pure PLA, the copolymers show higher hydrophilicity due to the incorporation of hydrophilic PEG units in the copolymers.
