Monitoring the formation of polystyrene/silica nanocomposites from vinyl triethoxysilane containing copolymers

Random copolymers of polystyrene-co-polyvinyl triethoxysilane (PS-co-PVTES) were prepared via semi-batch emulsion polymerization with different feed monomer compositions and evaluated as precursors of polystyrene (PS)/silica nanocomposites. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) profiles acquired from 20 °C to 180 °C showed that, at temperatures higher than glass transition temperature (T _g) of PS, the latex particles aggregate. On thermal annealing at 180 °C, silica-rich domains are formed, as corroborated by scanning electron microscopy. Infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analyses showed a reduction of the silanol concentration and an increase in the T _g value, respectively. The silica long domain spacing, measured by SAXS, depends on the concentration of vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES) in the feed; this value varied from 35 to 57 nm when the weight ratio of the monomers (styrene/VTES) was 50:50 and 90:10, respectively.     

Synthesis and emulsion copolymerization of amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) macromonomer possessing a vinyl ester group

The present article describes the synthesis and emulsion copolymerization of a block-type amphiphilic poly(2-oxazoline) macromonomer possessing a polymerizable vinyl ester group. The macromonomer was synthesized by one-pot two-stage block copolymerization of 2-oxazolines using vinyl iodoacetate as initiator. 2-Methyl- and 2-n-butyl-2-oxazolines were employed for the construction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments, respectively. The surface activities evaluated by the surface tension of the macromonomer in water were fairly good. Emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate with the macromonomer was carried out. The macromonomer acted as a polymeric surfactant, as well as a comonomer. The resulting copolymer latex particles were spherical and their diameter was in the sub-micron range. The effects of the composition of the macromonomer on the emulsion copolymerization and the resulting latex particles were examined. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

High molecular weight monodisperse polystyrene microspheres prepared by dispersion polymerization,using a novel bifunctional macromonomer

A novel bifunctional vinyl‐terminated polyurethane macromonomer was applied to the dispersion polymerization of styrene in ethanol. Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) microspheres were successfully obtained above 15 wt % of macromonomer relative to styrene. The steep slope from the reduction of the average particle size reveals that the macromonomer can efficiently stabilize higher surface area of the particles when compared with a conventional stabilizer, poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone). The stable and monodisperse PS microspheres having the weight‐average diameter of 1.2 μm and a good uniformity of 1.01 were obtained with 20 wt % polyurethane macromonomer. The grafting ratio of the PS calculated from ¹H NMR spectra linearly increased up to 0.048 with 20 wt % of the macromonomer. In addition, the high molecular weights (501,300 g/mol) of PS with increased glass transition and enhanced thermal degradation temperature were obtained. Thus, these results suggest that the bifunctional vinyl‐terminated polyurethane macromonomer acts as a reactive stabilizer, which gives polyurethane‐grafted PS with a high molecular weight. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of polyaspartate macromonomer having a vinyl end group and application to dispersion copolymerization of styrene

Sodium polyaspartate (PAspNa) macromonomer with an acryloyl end group was synthesized for dispersion polymerization. At first, a poly(succinimide) (PSI) derivative with a hydroxyphthalimide end group was synthesized by polycondensation of l-aspartic acid and 4-hydroxyphthalic acid. Then, the PSI derivative was end-capped with an acryloyl group by a reaction with acrlyloyl chloride. Finally, a PAspNa derivative with a vinyl end group was synthesized by a hydrolysis of succinimide units by sodium hydroxide. The synthesized macromonomer was applied as a polymerizable stabilizer in dispersion copolymerization of styrene in a mixture of ethanol and water. The PAspNa macromonomer acted as an effective stabilizer and gave sub-micron-sized polymeric particles in dispersion polymerization in polar medium.

Effect of branching architecture on glass transition behavior of hyperbranched copolystyrenes: the experiment and simulation studies

By controlling the feed ratio of CMS/styrene and the polymerization time, a series of hyperbranched copolystyrenes(HBCPS) were synthesized with comparable weight-averaged molecular weights(Mw) but different degree of branching(DB) through atom transfer radical self-condensing vinyl copolymerization(ATR-SCVCP) with Cu Br/2,2?-bipyridyl as the catalyst. The resulting HBCPS samples were used to investigate the effect of branching architecture on their glass transition behavior. With the DB increased, the glass transition temperatures(Tg) of HBCPS samples measured by DMA and DSC both decreased. Their spin-lattice relaxation times(1H T1r) of protons displayed the same downtrend with increasing DB. Besides, a correlation between the Tgs and the DB was well established by all-atom molecular dynamics(MD) simulations. The values of MD-determined Tgs are little higher than the corresponding experimental ones. However, the dependence of Tgs on DB is in good agreement with the experimental results, i.e., Tg decreases both in experiments and simulations with increasing DB.     

Synthesis, characterization and properties of biodegradable polylactic acid-β-cyclodextrin cross-linked copolymer microgels

The novel biodegradable polylactic acid-β-cyclodextrin (PLA-β-CD) cross-linked copolymer microgels were prepared by the radical copolymerization of PLA macromonomer and polymerizable β-CD derivatives. The β-CD derivatives with various numbers of polymerizable vinyl groups were synthesized from 1-allyloxy-2,3-epoxy propane (also called allylglycidyl ether, AGE) and β-CD. The chemical structures of polymerizable monomers were determined by NMR. The thermal properties, size, morphology, in vitro degradation and swelling behavior of the microgels were investigated. The results indicated that the microgels were stable under thermal conditions up to 200 °C. The microgels were spherical in aqueous solution. The hydrophilicity of the microgels increased with increasing β-CD contents, while the swelling ratios and degradation rate decreased. The more vinyl groups on β-CD, the higher cross-linked density, which resulted in a decrease of the swelling ratios and the rate of degradation.     

Grafting polymerization of styrene onto alternating terpolymers based on chlorotrifluoroethylene,hexafluoropropylene, and vinyl ethers,and their modification into ionomers bearing ammonium side‐groups

The grafting polymerization of styrene initiated by the alkyl chloride groups of poly(CTFE‐alt‐VE) and poly[(CTFE‐alt‐VE)‐co‐(HFP‐alt‐VE] copolymers (where CTFE, HFP, and VE stand for chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), hexafluoropropylene (HFP), and vinyl ether (VE), respectively) followed by the chemical modification of the polystyrene grafts are presented. First, the fluorinated alternating copolymers were produced by radical copolymerization of CTFE (with HFP) and VE. Second, atom transfer radical polymerization enabled the grafting polymerization of styrene in the presence of the poly(CTFE‐alt‐VE)‐macroinitiator using the alkyl chloride group of CTFE as the initiation site. Kinetics of the styrene polymerization indicated that such a grafting had a certain controlled character. For the first time, grafting of polystyrene onto alternating fluorinated copolymers has been achieved. Differential scanning calorimetry thermograms of these graft copolymers exhibited two glass transition temperatures assigned to both amorphous domains of the polymeric fluorobackbone (ranging from ?20 to +56 °C) and the polystyrene grafts (ca. 95 °C). The thermostability of these copolymers increased on grafting. Thermal degradation temperatures at 5% weight loss were ranging from 193 to 305 °C when the polystyrene content varied from 81 to 27%. Third, chloromethylation of the polystyrene grafts followed by the cationization of the chloromethyl dangling groups led to original ammonium‐containing graft copolymers. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica nanocomposites derived from copolymerization of vinyl silica nanoparticles and vinyl acetate

Nanocomposites of poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica nanoparticles (PVA-SNs) were prepared by in-situ radical copolymerization of vinyl silica nanoparticles functionalized by vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS) and vinyl acetate with benzoyl peroxide (BPO, i.e., initiator), subsequently saponified via direct hydrolysis with NaOH solution. The resulting vinyl silica nanoparticles, PVA-SNs were characterized by means of fourier transformation spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the elemental analysis method. Effects of silica nanoparticles on viscosity and alcoholysis of PVA-SNs were studied by a ubbelohode capillary viscometer and the back titration method. The morphological structure of PVA-SN films was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile test were used to determine the thermal and mechanical properties of PVA-SN films. The results indicated that the content of vinyl groups on the surface of the vinyl silica nanoparticles was up to 3.02 mmol/g and vinyl silica nanoparticles had been successfully copolymerized with vinyl acetate. Furthermore, compared to pure PVA, silica nanoparticles bonded with polymer matrix in a low concentration affected the viscosity and alcoholysis of the PVA-SNs materials. At the same time, it resulted in the improvement of the thermal and mechanical properties of the PVA-SN materials due to a strong interaction between silica nanoparticles and the polymer matrix via a covalent bond. It could be found that the optical clarity of the membrane was changed through UV-Vis absorption spectrum due to the introduction of silica nanoparticles.     

Synthesis and study of MPNS/SMA nano-composite tanning agent

The radical polymerization of maleic anhydride（MA）,styrene（ST）with the vinyl groups introduced onto the surface of the nano-sized silica via solution polymerization method was developed.The methacryloxypropyl nano-sized silica（MPNS）was used as macromonomer and polymerized with maleic anhydride and styrene by initiating with BPO in toluene.The structure and properties of MPNS/SMA nano-composite were characterized by FT-IR spectra and TEM.Meanwhile,it was applied as tanning agent compared with the traditional styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer in leather.It was found that the applied leather had better quality characteristics with the addition of the nano-sized silica.     

“Grafting through” approach for synthesis of polystyrene/silica aerogel nanocomposites by in situ reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

Aerogel/polystyrene nanocomposites with mixed free and aerogel-attached polystyrene chains were synthesized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. 3-methacryloxypropyldimethylchlorosilane containing a double bond, which could be incorporated into polystyrene chains by a “grafting through” approach, was used as an aerogel modifier. Kinetics of RAFT polymerization of styrene in the presence of modified silica aerogel was studied by monitoring conversion and molar mass values. To further study, attached polymers were detached and their molecular characteristics were compared to free chains. According to results, the presence of silica aerogel particles has a sensible influence on polymerization kinetic and more aerogels result in decreased polymerization rate and conversion. The dispersity (Ð) of polymer chains increased by the addition of silica aerogel. In the case of aerogel-attached polystyrene chains, number-averaged molar mass values were slightly lower than that of free chains. Also, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques were used to observe the effect of loading on thermal properties of synthesized nanocomposites.     

Two kinds of nanoscale dynamic heterogeneity in single‐phase polymer blends and their common origin

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and laser‐interferometric creep rate spectroscopy (CRS) were used for kinetic and discrete analysis of segmental motion within (and close to) glass transition range in polystyrene ‐ poly(α‐methyl styrene) (PS/PMS) and polystyrene ‐ poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PS/PVME) miscible blends. Two kinds of segmental dynamics heterogeneity were found. Separate ‘unfreezing’ of PS and PMS segmental motions was observed that manifested itself in two T_gs and simultaneous large drop in the Tg s, as well as glass transition activation energy, motional event scale and cooperativity degree values, down to the β‐relaxation parameters. The wide activation energy dispersion within a single broad glass transition in PS/PVME blends was found, and this relaxation region was subdivided, by CRS, into several predicted kinds of segmental motion. Both results are treated in the framework of the concept of common segmental nature of α‐ and β‐relaxations in flexible chain polymers.     

Grafting of polymers onto and/or from silica surface during the polymerization of vinyl monomers in the presence of γ‐ray‐irradiated silica

The effects of radicals on silica surface, which were formed by γ‐ray irradiation, on the polymerization of vinyl monomers were investigated. It was found that the polymerization of styrene was remarkably retarded in the presence of γ‐ray‐irradiated silica above 60 °C, at which thermal polymerization of styrene is readily initiated. During the polymerization, a part of polystyrene formed was grafted onto the silica surface but percentage of grafting was very small. On the other hand, no retardation of the polymerization of styrene was observed in the presence of γ‐ray‐irradiated silica below 50 °C; the polymerization tends to accelerate and polystyrene was grafted onto the silica surface. Poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (MMA) were also grafted onto the surface during the polymerization in the presence of γ‐ray‐irradiated silica. The grafting of polymers onto the silica surface was confirmed by thermal decomposition GC‐MS. It was considered that at lower temperature, the grafting based on the propagation of polystyrene from surface radical (“grafting from” mechanism) preferentially proceeded. On the contrary, at higher temperature, the coupling reaction of propagating polymer radicals with surface radicals (“grafting onto” mechanism) proceeded to give relatively higher molecular weight polymer‐grafted silica. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adsorption of charged diblock copolymers on porous silica

Block copolymers of styrene and 2-vinylpyridine of different molecular weights were synthesized and chemically modified to poly(vinyl pyridine)/poly(styrene sulfonate) or polystyrene/poly(2-vinyl pyridinium) salts. Adsorption on “Spherosil” silica with a high specific surface area was performed from aqueous solutions of polyelectrolyte copolymers or from noncharged copolymer in an organic medium and subsequent sulfonation or quaternization in the adsorbed state. The adsorption mechanism was studied under various solvent conditions to give silica maximal ion-exchange properties. Modification of silica resulted in a highly stable coated material which combines the mechanical properties of the porous beads and the ion-exchange properties of the “supported” and “pellicular” ion-exchangers and should have potential use in chromatography.     

Free-Radical Copolymerizations of N-Phenyl Maleimide

Free radical-initiated copolymerization of N-phenyl maleimide (NPMI) with styrene (St), vinyl acetate (VAc) and methyl meth-acrylate (MMA) at 35°C in benzene solution initiated by AIBN was studied. The copolymerization of NPMI and St yields a “nearly equimolecular” alternating copolymer, irrespective of monomer feed. Reactivity ratios of NPMI with St, VAc, and MMA were determined by a curve-fitting method which has the advantage of delivering values not involving personal judgement. Q₁ and e₁ values of NPMI were also calculated. Tentative explanations have been proposed to Interpret the “nearly alternating” copolymerization between NPMI and St. In addition, thermal stabilities of copolymers were studied by using a programmed thermo-gravimetric analysis technique. Copolymers of St, VAc, and MMA show a considerable increase in thermal stability with increasing content of NPMI. The glass transition temperatures of copolymers of NPMI with MMA and St were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. In both series of copolymers the glass transition temperature increases markedly with increasing in NPMI content. In the case of NPMI-St copolymers, the relative thermal stability as well as glass transition temperature also corroborated the nearly alternating behavior observed.
