Siloxane/silane‐crosslinked systems from supercritical carbon dioxide: II. Pendant phenyl poly(carbosilane/siloxane)s

New silicone‐containing polymers with crosslinkable units have been synthesized by hydrosilation polymerization in both toluene and supercritical carbon dioxide (70°C, 3000 psi) catalyzed by platinum‐divinyltetramethyldisiloxane (Pt‐DVTMS). It was found that high molecular polymers were obtained in both toluene and supercritical carbon dioxide. The polymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR, GPC, TGA, and DSC. The molecular weights of these polymers ranged from 9000 to 39,000. With further hydrolysis and thermal curing, the molecular weight can be increased significantly. Comparison of the properties between reactions in toluene versus supercritical carbon dioxide indicated that the green solvent is a usable alternative for hydrosilation polymerization. The new polymers synthesized in either toluene or supercritical carbon dioxide are thermally stable, ranged from 350 to 488°C. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Homogeneous and heterogeneous free radical polymerizations in environmentally responsible supercritical carbon dioxide

Fluoropolymers are used in many technologically demanding applications because of their balance of high-performance properties. A significant impediment to the synthesis of variants of commercially available amorphous fluoropolymers is their general insolubility in most solvents except chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The environmental concerns about CFCs can be circumvented by preparing these technologically important materials in supercritical fluids (SCFs). The homogeneous solution homo- and copolymerization of highly fluorinated acrylic, styrenic and olefinic monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide using free radical methods will be discussed [Science, 257 , 945 (1992)]. Detailed decomposition rates and efficiency factors will be presented for azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in supercritical carbon dioxide and will be compared to conventional liquid solvents [Macromolecules, 26 , 2663 (1993)]. Additionally, viscosities of polymer solutions in supercritical CO₂ have been measured using a high pressure, falling cylinder viscometer. The results show that the polymer solution viscosities in supercritical CO₂ are an order of magnitude lower than with the same polymers in conventional organic solvents. The results from these homogeneous solution polymerization studies has allowed us to also consider heterogeneous polymerizations in a carbon dioxide continuous phase. Conventional emulsion polymerizations of unsaturated monomers are performed in either aqueous or organic dispersion media with addition of surface active agents (surfactants) to stabilize the colloidal dispersion that forms. With free radical initiators that are preferentially soluble in the continuous phase, high rates of polymerization and high molar mass polymers can be obtained simultaneously. Herein we describe an environmentally responsible alternative to aqueous and organic dispersing media for emulsion polymerizations which utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide, in conjunction with molecularly engineered free radical initiators and amphiphilic molecules that are specifically designed to be interfacially active in CO₂. Conventional lipophilic monomers, exemplified by methyl methacrylate and styrene, can be polymerized heterogeneously using a fluorinated azo-initiator in supercritical CO₂ in the presence of added surfactant to form stable emulsions that result in submicron size particles. Detailed surfactant and initiator syntheses and phase behavior will also be discussed.     

Facile synthesis of polymers bearing cyclic carbonate structure through radical solution and precipitation polymerizations accompanied by concurrent carbon dioxide fixation

The radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was conducted under a carbon dioxide atmosphere (1 atm) in the presence of catalysts for the reaction of carbon dioxide and the oxirane group to afford the five‐membered cyclic carbonate group. The degrees of the carbon dioxide fixation depended on catalysts, concentration, and solvents. In solution reaction, the slower polymerizations resulted in faster carbon dioxide fixation, due to the faster carbon dioxide fixation to GMA than to oxirane moieties in polymers. When the polymerization was conducted in 1,4‐dioxane, which is a good solvent for polyGMA but a poor solvent for the analogous polymer bearing cyclic carbonate moieties, the resulting polymers were precipitated out as the progress of the polymerization and the carbon dioxide fixation. As a result, polymers could be isolated by simple filtration and rinsing with methanol. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 3170–3176, 2009

A novel synthetic route to metal–polymer nanocomposites by in situ suspension and bulk polymerizations

A novel strategy to synthesize hybrid metal–polymer nanocomposites has been achieved based on in situ free radical suspension and bulk polymerization techniques. An organometallic precursor complex is dissolved in a liquid monomer phase prior to polymerization, where upon the precursor molecules are immobilized inside the polymer matrix during its formation. In a separate step, metal nanoparticles are then formed by H₂-assisted reduction of the precursor in the polymer product in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂). The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by GPC, TGA, SEM and TEM. It is shown that the metal nanoparticles are uniformly distributed inside the polymer matrix and the inclusion of the metal precursor has no significant influence on the polymerization process. The current work represents a simple and universal way to prepare a variety of metal–polymer nanocomposite functional materials.     

Continuous precipitation polymerization of acrylic acid in supercritical carbon dioxide: The polymerization rate and the polymer molecular weight

The precipitation polymerization of acrylic acid in supercritical carbon dioxide was studied in a continuous stirred tank reactor with 2,2′‐azobis(2,4‐dimethylvaleronitrile) as the free‐radical initiator. The reactor temperature was between 50 and 90 °C, the pressure was 207 bar, and the average residence time was between 12 and 40 min. The product polymer was a white, dry, fine powder that dissolved in water. A wide range of polymer molecular weights (5–200 kg/mol) was obtained. The effects of the operating variables on the polymerization rate and on the polymer molecular weight were evaluated. The observed kinetics suggested that polymerization took place in both the supercritical fluid and the precipitated polymer particles. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Swelling of Polyheteroarylenes in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Two series of polyheteroarylenes have been investigated with regard to their physical properties before and after swelling with supercritical carbon dioxide. The study of the dependence of glass transition temperature and free volume of polymers on their conformational rigidity showed that the process of swelling in supercritical carbon dioxide is influenced by the voluminous side groups and by the high boiling solvent N-methylpyrolidinone used for the preparation of the polymers which facilitates the formation of crosslinks or complexes with the macromolecular chains.
