Cationic polymerization of isobutylene coinitiated by AlCl3 in the presence of ethyl benzoate

<正>The cationic polymerizations of isobutylene(IB) coinitiated by AlCl_3 were carried out in solvent mixture of n-hexane /methylene dichloride(n-hex/CH_2Cl_2) of 60/40 V/V in the presence of ethyl benzoate(EB) at various temperatures range from-80℃to-30℃.The effects of EB concentration([EB]) and polymerization temperature on monomer conversion,weight-average molecular weight(M_w) and molecular weight distribution(MWD,M_w/M_n) of polyisobutylene (PIB) products were investigated.The rate of polymerization decreased while M_w of PIB products increased with increasing [EB].The polymers with high molecular weight could be prepared in the presence of a suitable amount of EB.Significantly, the polymers with high M_w of 80.2×10~4 and 65.4×10~4 could be produced at-80℃and-70℃at[EB]=0.24×10~(-3) mol/L respectively,which were much higher than that(M_w=57.9×10~4) of PIB prepared at-100℃in the absence of EB.A simple but effective method for preparing the high molecular weight polyisobutylenes was developed in this work.It has been also found that the activation energy for propagation(E_p) depended on the polymerization temperature range in the presence of EB.An obvious inflection of the linear plots of lnX_n versus 1/T_p occurred at the temperature range from-60℃to-50℃at four different concentrations of EB from 0.19×10~(-3) mol/L to 0.33×10~(-3) mol/L,and thus the inflection temperature(T_(inf)) was in the range of-60℃to-50℃.When[EB]was in the range of 0.24×10~(-3) mol/L to 0.33×10~(-3) mol/L,E_p was determined to be around-12 kJ/mol when the polymerization was carried out at temperatures from-80℃to T_(inf) and to be around-28 kJ/mol at temperatures from T_(inf) to-15℃respectively.     

Cationic polymerization of isobutylene with H2O/TiCl4 initiating system in the presence of electron pair donors

Cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) in a mixture of methylene dichloride (CH₂Cl₂) and n-hexane (n-Hex) was conducted by using H₂O as initiator, TiCl₄ as co-initiator in the presence of strong external electron pair donor (ED), such as pyridine (Py), dimethylacetamide (DMA) or triethylamine (TEA). The effects of ED concentration, TiCl₄ concentration, solvent polarity, polymerization temperature (T) and time on IB polymerization, molecular weight (MW) and molecular weight distribution (MWD, M_w/M_n) of polyisobutylene (PIB) products were investigated. The relative amount of polymer formed via uncontrolled initiation by conventional active species (I) decreased with increasing the solvent polarity, TiCl₄ concentration and ED concentration in the polymerization. The desirable polymerization of IB with apparent absence of chain transfer reactions could be obtained by H₂O/TiCl₄ initiating system in the presence of ED under the appropriate reaction conditions. The external electron pair donors and TiCl₄ did specially play important and effective roles on polymerization.     

H_2O/TiCl_4/ED体系引发异丁烯控制正离子聚合中的影响因素研究

在亲核试剂(ED)如吡啶(Py)、N,N-二甲基乙酰胺(DMA)或三乙胺(TEA)存在下,由引发剂H2O和共引发剂TiCl4组成引发体系,在二氯甲烷/正己烷混合溶剂中进行异丁烯(IB)正离子聚合,考察了溶剂极性、聚合温度及异丁烯浓度对聚合反应转化率、产物分子量和分子量分布的影响.试验结果表明,随聚合体系溶剂极性增大,聚合速率加快,相近转化率时聚合产物的分子量分布变窄.随着聚合温度降低,聚合速率明显提高,聚合物的分子量增加,活化能为负值,活性链端发生链转移或链终止等副反应的几率减小,当聚合温度为-60℃时,可以抑制活性链端的β-H脱除反应和链转移副反应,并得到大分子链末端全部为叔氯基团的聚异丁烯(PIB).当[IB]0≤2.5mol/L时,随[IB]0增加,聚合转化率有所增加,聚合产物的GPC谱图均为单峰分布,分子量增大,而分子量分布基本保持不变,对于加入Py的聚合体系,分子量分布指数在1.33~1.45范围内,对于加入TEA的聚合体系,分子量分布指数在1.47~1.60范围内,并求出在加入Py和TEA的聚合体系中活性链向单体的链转移常数CM分别为5.5×10-4和6.6×10-4.     

Synthesis of high molecular weight polyisobutylene via cationic polymerization at elevated temperatures

A novel simple but effective initiating system of H2O/AlCl3 /veratrole (VE) has been developed to synthesize high molecular weight polyisobutylene (PIB) at elevated temperatures via cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) in solvent mixture of hexane/methylene dichloride (n-Hex/CH2Cl2 = 2/1, V/V). VE played very important roles in decreasing cationicity of the growing chain ends, suppressing side reactions of chain transfer and termination during polymerization, leading to production of high molecular weight PIBs. PIBs with high yields, having very high weight-average molecular weight (Mw ) of 1117000 and 370000 g/mol could be synthesized with H2O/AlCl3 /VE initiating system at VE concentration of 5.4 mmol/L at 80 and 60℃ respectively. Molecular weight of PIB increased remarkably with increasing VE concentration. The reaction order with respect to VE concentration was determined to be 3.52 via FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance (ATR) immersion probe. The negative reaction order of VE was consistent with its retarding effect on IB polymerization by interacting with the propagating species. Molecular weight of PIB decreased with increasing polymerization temperature. The activation energy for polymerization degree (EDP ) could be determined to be around 23 kJ/mol when VE concentration was 5.4 mmol/L or 6.4 mmol/L.     

Kinetic and mechanistic study of the quasiliving cationic polymerization of styrene with the 2-phenyl-2-propanol/AlCl3 · OBu2 initiating system

The cationic polymerization of styrene with the 2-phenyl-2-propanol (CumOH)/AlCl₃ · OBu₂ initiating system at various dibutyl ether concentrations in a mixture of 1,2-dichloroethane and n-hexane (55:45 v/v) at −15 °C was investigated. The experimental results showed that an increase in dibutyl ether concentration leads to a noticeable decrease in the polymerization rate as well as to the more controlled polymerization in terms of molecular weight (M_n) and molecular weight distribution (MWD) evolutions. The kinetic investigation revealed that the polymerization proceeds in two stages. The first stage is characterized by high polymerization rate and slow initiation relative to propagation. During this stage molecular weight decreases or does not change and MWD increases with conversion. In the second stage considerably slower quasiliving polymerization of styrene occurs. The quasiliving nature of the styrene polymerization by the CumOH/AlCl₃ · OBu₂ system is proved and mechanistic scheme of the polymerization is proposed.     

HETEROCYCLIC SCHIFF BASE NEODYMIUM COMPLEX AS CATALYST FOR RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION OF ε-CAPROLACTONE

An aromatic heterocyclic Schiff base neodymium complex bearing thiazole was synthesized and its activity in the ring-opening polymerization ofε-caprolactone(CL)was examined.The conditions of the CL/Nd molar ratio,monomer concentration,polymerization time and temperature were investigated.Activities of ca.171 kg/Nd·h were obtained under the optimum condition(CL/Nd=1600(molar ratio),[CL]=2.26 mol L~(-1),1 h at 50℃),giving a poly(ε-caprolactone)(PCL)of number-average molecular weight M_n=5.4×10~4 and molecular weight distribution MWD=1.96.The conversion of CL monomer as high as 94% was observed after polymerized for one hour.The mechanism of coordination polymerization has also been illustrated.     

Living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with carboxylic acid/tin tetrahalide initiating systems. I. New initiating systems based on acetic acid and selection of Lewis acid and basic additive leading to living polymers with low polydispersity

Cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) with acetic acid (CH₃COOH)/tin tetrahalide (SnX₄: X = Cl, Br, I) initiating systems in toluene solvent at 0°C was investigated, and the reaction conditions for living polymerization of IBVE with the new initiating systems were established. Among these tin tetrahalides, SnBr₄ was found to be the most suitable Lewis acid to obtain living poly(IBVE) with a narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD). The polymerization with the CH₃COOH/SnBr₄ system, however, was accompanied with the formation of a small amount of another polymer fraction of very broad MWD, probably due to the occurrence of an uncontrolled initiation by SnBr₄ coupled with protonic impurity. Addition of 1,4-dioxane (1–1.25 vol %) or 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine (0.1–0.6mM) to the polymerization mixture completely eliminated the uncontrolled polymer to give only the living polymer with very narrow MWD (M _w/M _n ≤ 1.1; M _w, weight-average molecular weight; M _n, number-average molecular weight). The M _n of the polymers increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion, continued to increase upon sequential addition of a fresh monomer feed, and was in good agreement with the calculated values assuming that one CH₃COOH molecule formed one polymer chain. Along with these results, kinetic study and direct ¹H-NMR observation of the living polymerization indicated that CH₃COOH and SnBr₄ act as so-called “initiator” and “activator”, respectively, and the living polymerization proceeds via an activation of the acetate dormant species. The basic additives such as 1,4-dioxane and 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine would serve mainly as a “suppressor” of the uncontrolled initiation by SnBr₄. The polymers produced after quenching the living polymerization with methanol possessed the acetate dormant terminal and they induced living polymerization of IBVE in conjunction with SnBr₄ in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
