pH和温度诱导双亲水嵌段共聚物聚甲基丙烯酸-b-聚N-(2-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基)吡咯烷酮水溶液的胶束化

基于可逆加成裂解链转移自由基(RAFT)聚合法开发了一系列新型双亲水嵌段共聚物——聚甲基丙烯酸-b-聚N-(2-甲基丙烯酰氧乙基)吡咯烷酮(PMAA-b-PNMP),并利用凝胶渗透色谱法(GPC)和¹H NMR对其结构进行了表征。光散射和冷冻电镜的结果表明,此类双亲水嵌段共聚物的水溶液具有pH和温度诱导胶束化的现象,而且PNMP的聚合度对胶束化的pH和温度影响都非常大。一般而言,PNMP的聚合度越大,胶束化的pH值越小,胶束化的温度则越高。pD相关的¹H NMR结果表明,PNMP与PMAA片段和水分子之间氢键的削弱以及PNMP与PMAA链之间相互作用的增强是pH诱导PMAA-b-PNMP胶束形成的主要原因,而PNMP片段与水分子之间氢键的削弱则是温度诱导PMAA-b-PNMP胶束形成的主要原因。此外,我们发现在PMAA-b-PNMP体系中制备的纳米金颗粒的大小可通过溶液pH进行可控调节。总体而言,pH值越高,金纳米颗粒的粒径越小。     

多重环境响应性蓝光共聚物的合成与表征

采用Suzuki偶联反应合成了一系列具有聚集诱导荧光增强特性的双亲性共聚物Pa,Pb和Pc,这些共聚物都有较高的分子量和可进一步支链化的羟基.聚合物Pa,Pb和Pc在四氢呋喃溶液中的紫外吸收峰在380 nm左右,荧光发射峰在470 nm左右,属于蓝光材料.对这些聚合物在四氢呋喃和水的混合溶剂中发光特性的研究发现,这类聚合物在一定比例混合溶剂中都有聚集诱导荧光增强现象,通过表征自组装得到胶束的粒径和形貌进一步验证了这一结果.3种共聚物在混合溶剂中的聚集诱导荧光增强特性与聚合物中聚集诱导荧光增强结构单元的含量有关,并且该特性只有在一定比例混合溶剂中才能体现.通过研究聚合物Pa在不同混合溶剂中荧光发射和自组装行为,发现聚合物Pa在四氢呋喃中处于高度分散状态,聚合物呈小的胶束;当减少混合溶剂中四氢呋喃的含量时,聚合物聚集形成了稳定的胶束并且粒径比较集中;当继续减小四氢呋喃的含量,聚合物部分析出.从动态光散射和透射电子显微镜结果中明显发现聚合物胶束的粒径有很大波动.聚合物Pb和Pc在不同溶剂中自组装得到的胶束的大小演变规律和聚合物Pa相似,说明共聚物中芴和聚集诱导荧光增强结构单元之间的比例只影响聚合物聚集时水的比例,并不对聚集形成胶束的演化过程产生明显影响.通过改变共聚物Pa,Pb和Pc自组装所用溶剂的比例和种类,可以得到尺寸在10到900 nm之间的胶束.聚合物Pa在不同溶剂中自组装形成胶束的尺寸分散性比较单一,而聚合物Pb和Pc在不同溶剂中自组装形成胶束的尺寸分布比较宽,形貌多样化.通过原子转移活性自由基聚合在聚合物Pb引入聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)侧链,得到具有更高分子量、更窄分子量分布的水溶性和温度敏感性多重环境响应性蓝光聚合物P-N.在聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)最低临界溶解温度附近,随着溶液温度的改变,该聚合物荧光发光峰的位置基本保持不变,但发射强度变化,聚合物P-N在混合溶剂中自组装形成胶束的大小和形貌也随之改变.     

Spontaneous Cu(I)Br–PMDETA‐mediated polymerization of isobornyl methacrylate in heterogeneous aqueous medium at ambient temperature

Isobornyl methacrylate (IBMA), a bulky hydrophobic methacrylate, undergoes very fast polymerization, in bulk, with Cu(I)Br/N,N,N′,N″,N″‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA)/ethyl‐2‐bromoisobutyrate system, at ambient temperature. IBMA also undergoes a spontaneous initiator‐free polymerization, at ambient temperature, with Cu(I)Br/PMDETA catalytic system in dimethyl sulfoxide–water mixtures. The rate of the polymerization is seen to increase with the water content up to 80 mol % of water. A possible intervention of air in initiation is proposed. The active Cu(0) formed by the disproportionation of Cu(I) species in aqueous medium probably plays a vital role for a possible air‐initiation of IBMA via single electron transfer‐living radical polymerization (SET‐LRP) mechanism. A high tolerance level to water under SET‐LRP conditions is demonstrated. The poly(IBMA) samples obtained exhibit low molecular weight distributions (1.1–1.3). Similar behavior was not observed with other common methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate, t‐butyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, and benzyl methacrylate. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Antibacterial poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces obtained from thymyl methacrylate polymerization

Thymol, an antibacterial agent was used for the preparation of a methacrylic monomer. The conventional and atom transfer radical (ATRP) polymerizations of this monomer were studied using different conditions. Then, the functionalization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films by “grafting from” ATRP using this monomer was investigated. In this aim, a three steps procedure was developed. The surfaces were first treated by NH₃ plasma treatment to incorporate primary amino functions. Then, in a second step, ATRP initiator was grafted by reaction with bromoisobutyryl bromide. Surface initiated ATRP of thymyl methacrylate was performed in solution in the presence of a sacrificial initiator. The efficiency of these reactions was confirmed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Wetting properties and surface energy were found to vary systematically depending to the type of functionalization and grafting. The poly(thymyl methacrylate)‐grafted PET surfaces exhibit resistance to bacterial adhesion toward Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus strains. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Eutectic mixtures as a green alternative for efficient catalyst recycling in atom transfer radical polymerizations

A new solvent mixture, based on ethanol/reline (EM: eutectic mixture), was investigated for the supplemental activator and reducing agent atom transfer radical polymerization (SARA ATRP) of methyl acrylate (MA) near room temperature, for the first time, affording complete catalyst recovery and reuse. The kinetic results revealed that the polymerizations were controlled, with polymers having narrow molecular weight distributions (? < 1.2). The “living” character of the resultant PMA was confirmed by the synthesis of a well‐defined PMA‐b‐PBA block copolymer. Remarkably, it was demonstrated that the Cu(0)/CuBr₂/Me₆TREN (Me₆TREN: tris[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine) could be recovered from the final reaction mixture and reused for new successful SARA ATRP of MA, suggesting that the reported system could be very attractive from both the economic and environmental perspectives. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of butyl methacrylate in a miniemulsion stabilized with a cationic surfactant

The miniemulsion reverse atom transfer radical polymerization of butyl methacrylate was carried out with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the sole surfactant. The polymerizations were initiated with 2,2′‐azobis[2‐(2‐imidazolin‐2‐yl)propane] dihydrochloride and mediated with copper(II) bromide/tris[2‐di(2‐ethylhexyl acrylate)aminoethyl]amine. The living character was demonstrated by the linear increase in the number‐average molecular weight with conversion and the decreasing polydispersity index with conversion. The polymerizations were conducted at 90 °C with 1 wt % CTAB with respect to the monomer and produced a coagulum‐free latex with a mean particle diameter of 155 nm. The resulting latexes exhibited good shelf‐life stability. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 1628–1634, 2006     

Organometallic mediated radical polymerization of vinyl acetate with Fe(acac)2

The radical polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) is moderated by iron(II) acetylacetonate (Fe(acac)₂) by the organometallic route (OMRP), as well as by degenerative transfer polymerization (DTP) when in the presence of excess radicals, through the formation of thermally labile organometallic Fe^III dormant species. The poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)‐Fe^III(acac)₂ dormant species has been isolated in the form of an oligomer and characterized by ¹H NMR, EPR, and IR methods, and then used as a single‐component initiator for the OMRP of VAc. The degree of polymerization of this isolated oligomeric species demonstrates the limited ability of Fe(acac)₂, relative to the Co(acac)₂ congener, to rapidly trap the growing PVAc radical chain. Control under OMRP conditions is improved by the presence of Lewis bases, especially PMe₂Ph. On the other hand, iron(II) phthalocyanine inhibits the radical polymerization of VAc completely. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013 , 51, 3494–3504     

Kinetic analysis of styrene atom transfer radical polymerization: Extraction of radical‐radical termination rate coefficients

Kinetic studies of the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene are reported, with the particular aim of determining radical‐radical termination rate coefficients (<k_t>). The reactions are analyzed using the persistent radical effect (PRE) model. Using this model, average radical‐radical termination rate coefficients are evaluated. Under appropriate ATRP catalyst concentrations, <k_t> values of approximately 2 × 10⁸ L mol^?1 s^?1 at 110 °C in 50 vol % anisole were determined. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of pH on Poly(acrylic acid) Solution Polymerization

The free-radical redox-initiated aqueous solution polymerization of fully and partially neutralized acrylic acid was carried out at room temperature under full exposure to air. The effect of neutralization degree on the polymerization rate and product properties was studied. Increasing neutralization of the reaction mixture with sodium hydroxide resulted in greater conversion of acrylic acid to sodium acrylate. The rate of polymerization, determined from a gravimetric off-line water removal technique, was shown to decrease significantly with decreasing degree of neutralization. Molecular weight also decreased with decreasing degree of neutralization. The glass transition temperature and hydrophilicity of the polymer product decreased with increasing degree of neutralization. In-line infrared monitoring was also used to monitor the reaction progress and was shown to be an effective tool for this purpose.     

Controllable synthesis of nanosilica surface-grafted PMMA macromonomers via catalytic chain transfer polymerization

Catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has emerged as an efficacious method to produce low-molecular weight polymers. In this paper, we reported the first controllable synthesis of nanosilica surface-grafted poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (SI-PMMA) macromonomers by using bis(aqua)bis((difluoroboryl)-dimethylglyoximato)cobalt(II) (CoBF) as a chain transfer catalyst via CCTP. In a typical run, we firstly prepared functionalized nanosilica by using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (MPS) as the coupling agent, allowing naosilica containing unsaturated double bonds in end groups. Subsequently, SI-PMMA macromonomers were prepared by PMMA surface-grafted onto the functionalized nanosilica via CCTP. The as-prepared products were characterized by Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms Raman (FT-Raman) spectrum and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We also investigated the dependence of macromonomers on CoBF concentrations.
