Kinetic study of the nitroxide‐mediated controlled free‐radical polymerization of n‐butyl acrylate in aqueous miniemulsions

The controlled free‐radical homopolymerization of n‐butyl acrylate was studied in aqueous miniemulsions at 112 and 125 °C with a low molar mass alkoxyamine unimolecular initiator and an acyclic β‐phosphonylated nitroxide mediator, N‐tert‐butyl‐N‐(1‐diethylphosphono‐2,2‐dimethylpropyl) nitroxide, also called SG1. The polymerizations led to stable latices with 20 wt % solids and were obtained with neither coagulation during synthesis nor destabilization over time. However, in contrast to latices obtained via classical free‐radical polymerization, the average particle size of the final latices was large, with broad particle size distributions. The initial [SG1]₀/[alkoxyamine]₀ molar ratio was shown to control the rate of polymerization. The fraction of SG1 released upon macroradical self‐termination was small with respect to the initial alkoxyamine concentration, indicating a very low fraction of dead chains. Average molar masses were controlled by the initial concentration of alkoxyamine and increased linearly with monomer conversion. The molar mass distribution was narrow, depending on the initial concentration of free nitroxide in the system. The initiator efficiency was lower than 1 at 112 °C but was very significantly improved when either a macroinitiator was used at 112 °C or the polymerization temperature was raised to 125 °C. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Simple polymerization through oxygen at reduced volumes using oil and water

An enduring question is: what is the simplest and easiest way to obtain tailored polymers? This communication explores a robust photoiniferter polymerization with only two active ingredients that requires no prior deoxygenation and can be performed on the milliliter scale or sub-milliliter scale. Rather than leaving headspace in the polymerization vessel or scaling reactions up to fill the vessel, this approach fills the headspace of the reaction vessel with mineral oil or inert solvents. This approach can also be applied to polar monomers in aqueous media, using oil as the inert solvent, or to hydrophobic monomers with water as the inert solvent. This method removes enough ambient oxygen that the photoiniferter reaction proceeds with no deoxygenation step, and achieves high conversion and good molecular weight control in 10–20 h in both aqueous and organic solvents. Complex polymer architectures such as multiblock copolymers and gradient polymers were successfully synthesized by this approach.

Criteria for living systems with a special emphasis on living cationic polymerization of alkenes

A number of new living systems have been reported in recent years. Classic anionic polymerization of nonpolar monomers allows the synthesis of well-defined high molecular weight polymers (DP > 1000), block copolymers, chains with perfect terminal functionalities and behaves as a true living system. Some new systems abuse the term “living polymerization.” A relatively modest criterion for living systems is proposed “3 X 10,000,” i.e., k_p/k_t > 10⁴ mol^-1 L, k_p/k_tr > 10⁴, 1/k_t/tr > 10⁴ s (translated to < 10% of chains deactivated at t ≈ 1000 s), which is related to a typical limit of the polymeric chain dimensions (DP ≈ 100) and standard synthetic manipulations (≈ 15 min). New living cationic systems are discussed in detail with special emphasis on exchange phenomena. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Nitroxide‐mediated free‐radical copolymerization of styrene with butyl acrylate

Controlled free‐radical copolymerization of styrene (S) and butyl acrylate (BA) was achieved by using a second‐generation nitroxide, N‐tert‐butyl‐N‐[1‐diethylphosphono‐(2,2‐dimethylpropyl)] nitroxide (DEPN), and 2,2‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) at 120 °C. The time‐conversion first‐order plot was linear, and the number‐average molecular weight increased in direct proportion to the ratio of monomer conversion to the initial concentration, providing copolymers with low polydispersity. The monomer reactivity ratios obtained were r_S = 0.74 and r_BA = 0.29, respectively. To analyze the convenience of applying the Mayo–Lewis terminal model, the cumulative copolymer composition against conversion and the individual conversion of each monomer as a function of copolymerization time were studied. The theoretical values of the propagating radical concentration ratio were also examined to investigate the copolymerization rate behavior. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Immortal polymerization: The outset,development, and application

The story of the outset of the concept of immortal polymerization is presented. Immortal polymerization is the polymerization that gives polymers with a narrow molecular distribution, even in the presence of a chain transfer reaction, because of its reversibility, which leads to the revival of the polymers once dead, that is, the immortal nature of the polymers. As a result, immortal polymerization can afford polymers with a controlled molecular weight, the number of polymer molecules being more than that of the initiator. The compound that plays a leading role is metalloporphyrin, in which the metal‐axial ligand bond has an unusually high reactivity. Immortal polymerization can be carried out in the ring‐opening polymerizations of epoxides, episulfides, and lactones by the selection of an appropriate metalloporphyrin as the initiator and a protic compound as the chain transfer agent. Immortal polymerization is an effective method for synthesizing end‐functional polymers and oligomers with narrow molecular weight distributions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Triblock Terpolymers by Simultaneous Tandem Block Polymerization (STBP)

A route of synthesizing triblock terpolymers in a one‐pot, “one‐step” polymerization approach is presented. The combination of two distinct polymerization techniques through orthogonal catalyst/initiator functionalities attached to a polymeric linker furnishes novel pathways to ABC‐terpolymers. Both polymerizations have to be compatible regarding mechanisms, chosen monomers, and solvents. Here, an α,ω‐heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) serves as poly­meric catalyst/initiator to obtain triblock terpolymers of poly(norbornene)‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(l ‐lactic acid) PNB‐PEG‐PLLA via simultaneous ring opening metathesis poly­merization and ring opening polymerization in a fast one‐pot polymerization. Structural characterization of the polymers is provided via ¹H‐, DOSY‐, and ¹H,¹H‐COSY‐NMR, while solution and thin film self‐assembly are investigated by dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy.

     

Waterborne RAFT polymers

A recently invented novel family of RAFT (Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer) agents having a common formula Z-C(S)-S-CR₂COOR¹ where Z = -SR, -NR₂, or -OR, and R¹ represents H or a variety of functional groups allows for tailoring their hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity balance. A limited hydrophilicity of the RAFT agents can be achieved which is sufficient for their diffusion through water, yet the agents are hydrophobic enough to phase-separate out of water. Thus, the limited hydrophilicity of otherwise hydrophobic agents allows them to be at the loci of polymerization making them suitable for the emulsion polymerization mechanism. With several RAFT agents, good control over molecular weight was demonstrated for a broad variety of ab initio acrylic emulsion polymers. For methyl methacrylate, a portion of RAFT did not engage, resulting in less than the theoretical number of polymer chains. It was found, however, that as little as ∼10 wt% of an acrylic monomer slowed down polymerization enough to engage all RAFT agent molecules and yield predicted molecular weights. A broad variety of colorless and odorless telechelic acrylic and methacrylic emulsion polymers were synthesized.Microemulsion and solution-dispersion techniques produced clean colloidally stable RAFT dispersions. These two techniques did not require RAFT agents with tailored hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity.The UV spectra and photooxidative stability of the RAFT polymers were studied. The RAFT fragment in polymers appeared to have no impact on their photooxidative stability.
