Synthesis of inositol‐based star polymers through low ppm ATRP methods

The vitamin B₈‐based macroinitiator with six 2‐bromoisobutyric initiating sites was prepared for the first time by the transesterification reaction of meso‐inositol with 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide. A series of six‐armed (co)polymers, containing hydrophilic poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) and amphiphilic poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)‐block‐poly(methyl methacrylate) as the arms and meso‐inositol as the core, were obtained by low ppm atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) methods, utilizing 30 ppm of catalyst complex. Under Fe⁰‐mediated supplemental activators and reducing agents ATRP, Cu⁰‐mediated supplemental activators and reducing agents ATRP, Ag⁰‐mediated activators regenerated by electron transfer ATRP, and simplified electrochemically mediated ATRP conditions, polymerization proceeded on to high conversion while maintaining low dispersity (?  = 1.05–1.16) giving well‐defined six‐armed star (co)polymers. ¹H NMR spectral results confirm the formation of new star‐shaped block (co)polymers. The absence of intermolecular coupling reactions during synthesis was confirmed by gel permeation chromatography analyses of the side chains of received star (co)polymers. These vitamin B₈‐based star (co)polymers may find biomedical applications as thermo‐sensitive drug delivery systems, biosensors, and tissue engineering solutions.

Synthesis of mikto‐topology star polymer containing one cyclic arm

Well‐defined mikto‐topology star polystyrene composed of one cyclic arm and four linear arms was synthesized by a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and Cu‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction. First, the bromine‐alkyne α,ω‐linear polystyrenes containing four hydroxyl groups protected with acetone‐based ketal groups were synthesized by ATRP of styrene using a designed initiator. Then, the bromine end‐group was converted to the azide and the linear polystyrene was cyclized intra‐molecularly by the CuAAC reaction. The four hydroxyl groups were released by deprotection and then esterified with 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide to produce a cyclic polymer bearing four ATRP initiating units. By subsequent ATRP of styrene to grow linear polymers with the cyclic polystyrene as a macroinitiator, the mikto‐topology star polymers were prepared. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Resorcinarene‐based ATRP initiators for star polymers

Two novel multifunctional initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were synthesized by derivatization of tetraethylresorcinarene. The derivatization induced a change in the conformation of the resorcinarene ring, which was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. The initiators were used in ATRP of tert‐butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, producing star polymers with controlled molar masses and low polydispersities. Instead of the expected star polymers with eight arms, polymers with four arms were obtained. Conformational studies on the initiators by rotating‐frame nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy NMR and molecular modeling suggested that of eight initiator functional groups on tetraethylresorcinarene, four are too close to each other to be able to initiate the chain growth. Starlike poly(tert‐butyl acrylate) macroinitiators were used further in the block copolymerization of methyl methacrylate. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Functionalization of polymers prepared by ATRP using radical addition reactions

Low molecular weight linear poly(methyl acrylate), star and hyperbranched polymers were synthesized using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and end‐functionalized using radical addition reactions. By adding allyltri‐n‐butylstannane at the end of the polymerization of poly(methyl acrylate), the polymer was terminated by allyl groups. When at high conversions of the acrylate monomer, allyl alcohol or 1,2‐epoxy‐5‐hexene, monomers which are not polymerizable by ATRP, were added, alcohol and epoxy functionalities respectively were incorporated at the polymer chain end. Functionalization by radical addition reactions was demonstrated to be applicable to multi‐functional polymers such as hyperbranched and star polymers.     

原子转移自由基聚合在制备水溶性聚合物中的应用

Effect of ligand on the synthesis of star polymers by resorcinarene‐based ATRP initiators

The effect of the steric hindrance on the initiating properties of two multifunctional resorcinarene‐based initiators in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was studied by using Cu(I)‐complexes of three multidentate amine ligands in the polymerization of tert‐butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate. These ligands are less sterically hindered and have higher activities in the catalysis of ATRP of (meth)acrylates than 2,2′‐bipyridine. The polymerizations were faster and more controlled than with the 2,2′‐bipyridyl catalyst, but the tendency for bimolecular coupling increased. Even though the initiator was octafunctional, the resulting star polymers had only four arms. This indicates that the steric hindrance arising from the conformations of the initiators determines the structure of the polymer, but the ligand noticeably affects the controllability of the polymerization © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Self-Assembly Behaviors of Four-Arm Star Block Copolymers Poly(ϵ-caprolactone)-b-poly(2- (diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)) in Aqueous Solution

Four-arm star block polymers consisting of hydrophobic poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) block and hydrophilic poly(2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)) (PDEAEMA) block were successfully synthesized by ring opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Chain lengths of PDEAEMA segments were varied to obtain a series of star copolymers with different hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio, which were desired for self-assembly study. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) were used to study their self-assembly behavior. In the PBS solution with different pH value, the star polymers formed micelles or nanoparticles. Furthermore, the morphologies of the micelles were also pH-dependent. Critical micelle concentrations of star copolymers changed from 5.0 to 17.5 mg/L with the increase of hydrophilic block length or the pH decrease. Moreover, a steady increase was found on the micelles diameters when the pH decreased from 7.0 to 3.0. The low CMC value and slight changes on micelle diameter indicated that the micelle remained stable under the changing external stimulus.
