Thermal degradation of poly(p-phenylene-graft-?-caprolactone) copolymer

The thermal degradation of poly(p-phenylene-graft-?-caprolactone) (PPP), synthesized by Suzuki polycondensation of poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) with a central 2,5-dibromo-1,4-benzene on the chain with 1,4-phenylene-diboronic acid, has been studied via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The thermal degradation occurred mainly in two steps. In the first step, decomposition of PCL chains occurred. A slight increase in thermal stability of PCL chains was noted. In the second stage of pyrolysis, the decomposition of the polyphenylene backbone takes place. The evolution of CL monomer or small CL segments left on the phenyl ring continued also in the temperature region where degradation of PPP backbone started.     

Pyrolysis of polyphenylenes with PCL or/and PSt side chains

Thermal degradation characteristic of polyphenylenes is an important issue for developing a rational technology of polymer processing and applications. In this study, we discussed thermal degradation of polyphenylenes (PP) with poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and/or PCL/polystyrene copolymers (PSt) prepared by combined controlled polymerization and cross-coupling processes via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. When PP-graft-PCL/PSt copolymers were considered, thermally less stabile PCL side chains decomposed in the first step. In the second stage of pyrolysis, the decomposition of the polystyrene chains has taken place. A slight increase in thermal stability of PCL chains for PP-graft-PCL/PSt copolymers was noted compared to copolymer PP-graft-PCL due to the interaction between PSt and PCL chains. This interaction was stronger when PSt chains were linked to the 2-position of the 1,4-phenylene ring.     

Pyrolysis of polyphenylenes with PCL or/and PSt side chains

Thermal degradation characteristic of polyphenylenes is an important issue for developing a rational technology of polymer processing and applications. In this study, we discussed thermal degradation of polyphenylenes (PP) with poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) and/or PCL/polystyrene copolymers (PSt) prepared by combined controlled polymerization and cross-coupling processes via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. When PP-graft-PCL/PSt copolymers were considered, thermally less stabile PCL side chains decomposed in the first step. In the second stage of pyrolysis, the decomposition of the polystyrene chains has taken place. A slight increase in thermal stability of PCL chains for PP-graft-PCL/PSt copolymers was noted compared to copolymer PP-graft-PCL due to the interaction between PSt and PCL chains.

Functionalization of Poly(Organophosphazenes). IX. Light-Induced Grafting Reactions of Maleates onto Aryloxy-Substituted Poly(Organophosphazenes)

Abstract

In this paper the light-induced grafting reaction of dimethyl maleate, diethyl maleate, dibutyl maleate and diethyl fumarate, onto aryloxysubstituted phosphazene polymers, to form polyphosphazene copolymers containing grafted succinate groups, is investigated by means of IR spectroscopy and the equilibrium swelling technique of polyphosphazene films. The importance of several different experimental factors that can influence the final succinate grafting yields is discussed, i.e. the type and concentration of the polyphosphazenes and of the unsaturated products, reaction time, the absence or presence of molecular oxygen or of the 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone monomer, and the concentration of the benzoin ethyl ether photoinitiator.

Furthermore, it is shown that the overall efficiency of the lightinduced grafting process is lower than that previously measured for the reaction initiated thermally using peroxide species, and that the photochemical grafting reaction always occurs with no degradation of the phosphazene macromolecules.

The possibility of exploiting these new phosphazene substrates in blend technology has been considered.     

Synthesis, characterization and degradability of the comb-type poly(4-hydroxyl-ε-caprolactone-co-ε-caprolactone)-g-poly(l-lactide)

The novel comb-type biodegradable graft copolymers based on ε-caprolactone and l-lactide were synthesized. Firstly, 2-oxepane-1,5-dione (OPD) was synthesized by the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 1,4-cyclohexanedione, and was subsequently copolymerized with ε-caprolactone (CL) to produce poly(2-oxepane-1,5-dione-co-ε-caprolactone) (POCL) catalyzed by stannous(II) 2-ethylhexanoate in toluene. Then, POCL was converted into poly(4-hydroxyl-ε-caprolactone-co-ε-caprolactone) (PHCL) using sodium borohydride as reductant. Finally, poly(4-hydroxyl-ε-caprolactone-co-ε-caprolactone)-g-poly(l-lactide) (PHCL-g-PLLA) were prepared successfully by bulk ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide using PHCL as a macro-initiator. All the copolymers have been characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, DSC, and GPC. Compared with the random copolymer of poly(CL-co-LA), the elongation is highly increased. And the thermal analysis showed that the crystallization rate of the PCL backbone in the graft copolymers was greatly reduced compared to the PCL homopolymer. The hydrolytic degradation of the copolymer was much faster in a phosphate buffer (pH = 7.4) at 37 °C, which is confirmed by the weight loss and change of intrinsic viscosity.     

Synthesis and characterization of biodegradable block copolymers of ϵ-caprolactone and D,L-lactide initiated by potassium poly(ethylene glycol)ate

Poly(D ,L -lactide)–poly(ϵ-caprolactone)–poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(ϵ-caprolactone)–poly(D ,L -lactide) block copolymer (PLA–PCL–PEG–PCL–PLA) was prepared by copolymerization of ϵ-caprolactone (ϵ-CL) and D ,L -lactide (D ,L -LA) initiated by potassium poly(ethylene glycol)ate in THF at 25°C. The copolymers with different composition were synthesized by adjusting the mole ratio of reaction mixture. The resulted copolymers were characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, IR, DSC, and GPC. Efforts to prepare copolymers with the corresponding structure of PCL–PLA–PEG–PLA–PCL and D ,L -lactide/ϵ-caprolactone random copolymers were not successful. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis and morphological characterization of poly(ϵ-caprolactone) and poly(2-methyloxazoline) substituted phenyl rings and phenylene oligomers

Poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(2-methyloxazoline) (POx) substituted phenyl rings (macromonomers) and the corresponding substituted polyphenylene oligomers have been synthesized in various chemical structures. Macromonomers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization. Poly(phenylene) oligomers were then synthesized by cross-coupling of the macromonomers in Ni-catalyzed polycondensation reactions. The macromonomers and oligomers have been characterized by ¹H-NMR, IR, GPC, and DSC. The effect of side chain chemistry and architecture on the resulting morphology in thin films has been investigated by atomic force micro-scopy and wide angle X-ray scattering. Polyphenylene oligomers showed layered morphologies in thin films. The orientation of the layers depended on the chemistry of the side chains and the backbone architecture. Linear oligomers containing statistically distributed segments having POx or PCL side chains showed layers perpendicular to the underlying substrate. Attachment of polystyrene end block to PCL chain together with the meta-connectivity of the backbone resulted in layers parallel to the substrate. Our results also indicate that substitution of polymeric chains to phenyl rings can induce ordered structures of macromonomers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of PCL–graft–PS by combination of ROP, ATRP, and click chemistry

Poly(ε-caprolactone)–graft–polystyrenes were successfully synthesized by grafting an azide end-functionalized polystyrene onto a PCL backbone with multiple pendant alkyne moieties using a “click” chemistry reaction. Both precursors, the PCL backbone and the PS side chains, were prepared separately by two different living/controlled mechanisms, ring-opening polymerisation and ATRP, respectively. Molecular weights, polydispersity indexes, and chemical compositions of the backbone and branches were controlled. The subsequent copper-catalysed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of PS onto PCL was achieved at room temperature with high conversion. However, a bimodal molecular weight distribution was observed in size exclusion chromatography due to the presence of unreacted PS. Nevertheless, crude product was purified by selective fractionation in cyclohexane to achieve pure graft copolymers.     

Tuning the Properties of Ester-Based Degradable Polymers by Inserting Epoxides into Poly(ϵ-caprolactone)

A series of ester-ether copolymers were obtained via the reaction between α,ω-dihydroxyl poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) and ethylene oxide (EO) or monosubstituted epoxides catalyzed by strong phosphazene bases. The two types of monomeric units were distributed in highly random manners due to the concurrence of epoxide ring-opening and fast transesterification reactions. The substituent of epoxide showed an interesting bidirectional effect on the enzymatic degradability of the copolymer. Compared with PCL, copolymers derived from EO exhibited enhanced hydrophilicity and decreased crystallinity which then resulted in higher degradability. For the copolymers derived from propylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide, the hydrophobic alkyl pendant groups also allowed lower crystallinity of the copolymers thus higher degradation rates. However, further enlarging the pendant groups by using styrene oxide or 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether caused a decrease in the degradation rate, which might be ascribed to the higher bulkiness hindering the contact of ester groups with lipase.
