基团转移聚合机理研究——特种离子场活化聚合机理的提出

在已有基团转移聚合机理研究的基础上,提出特种离子场活化聚合机理。认为在基因转移聚合过程中,阴离子催化剂主要是形成一种特殊形式的“离子场”,从而使引发剂得到活化。这种场的总强度Q与催化剂摩尔浓度成正比;而每个引发剂分子分享到的场强Q_i则与其本身摩尔浓度n成反比,即Q_i=Q/n;当Q_i达到一特定值,即Q_i>Q_(min),基因转移聚合便可发生。在特定范围内,Q_i值越大,引发剂受到活化的程度越高,聚合诱导期越短,聚合反应也越快。

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.

Polymerization of Cyclic Monomers, 10,

Methyl 2‐(bicyclo[3.1.0]hex‐1‐yl)acrylate ( 1 ) was synthesized from methyl 2‐(cyclopentene‐1‐yl)‐2‐hydroxyacetate by cyclopropanation, followed by oxidation to the corresponding bicyclic 2‐oxoacetate and Wittig olefination with methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide. Initiated with 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile at 65 °C in chlorobenzene, the radical homopolymerization of 1 occurred with opening of the cyclopropane ring leading to a polymer with a glass transition temperature of 90 °C. The reactivity of 1 in radical copolymerization was higher than that of methyl methacrylate.

     

Polymerization of styrene with ionic comonomer,nonionic comonomer,or both

Nanosized polystyrene latexes with high polymer contents were obtained from an emulsifier-free process by the polymerization of styrene with ionic comonomer, nonionic comonomer, or both. After seeding particles were generated in an initial emulsion system consisting of styrene, water, an ionic comonomer [sodium styrenesulfonate (NaSS)] or nonionic comonomer [2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)], and potassium persulfate, most of the styrene monomer or a mixture of styrene and HEMA was added dropwise to the polymerizing emulsion over 6 h. Stable latexes with high polystyrene contents (≤25%) were obtained. The latex particle weight-average diameters were largely reduced (41 nm) by the continuous addition of monomer(s) compared with those (117 nm) obtained by the one-pot polymerization method. Latex particles varied from about 30 to 250 nm in diameters, whereas their molar masses were within 10⁴ to 10⁵ g/mol. The effect of the comonomer concentration on the number of polystyrene particles per milliliter of latex and the weight-average molar masses of the copolymers during the polymerization are discussed. The surface compositions of the latex particles were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicated that the surface of the latex particles was significantly enriched in NaSS, HEMA, or both. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Block copolymers of acrylic acid and butyl acrylate prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization: Synthesis,characterization, and use in emulsion polymerization

Amphiphilic block copolymers of poly(acrylic acid‐b‐butyl acrylate) were prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in a one‐pot reaction. These copolymers were characterized by NMR, static and dynamic light scattering, tensiometry, and size exclusion chromatography. The aggregation characteristics of the copolymers corresponded to those theoretically predicted for a star micelle. In a butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate emulsion polymerization, low amounts of these copolymers could stabilize latices with solid contents up to 50%. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heptane-soluble homogeneous zirconocene catalyst: Synthesis of a single diastereomer,polymerization catalysis,and effect of silica supports

Bis(1-indenyl)-di[1′S, 2′R, 5′S)-methoxy]silane ( 1 ) was converted into a mixture of corresponding ansa-diastereomeric zirconocenes. Further purification afforded a single dia-stereomer, di[(1′S, 2′R, 5′S)-methoxy] silylene-bis[η⁵-1(R, R)-(+)-indenyl] dichlorozirconium ( 2 ), which is optically active and hydrocarbon soluble. Extremely rapid ethylene, propylene, and ethylene-hexene polymerizations were observed both in toluene and n-heptane solutions; for instance, at 50°C, activity for ethylene polymerization reaches ～ 1.5×10¹⁰ (g of PE/((mol of Zr) · [C₂H₄] · h). The “bare” zirconocenium ion generated from 2/TIBA/Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ exhibits unusual polymerization behaviors; the polymerization activity increases monotonically with temperature of polymerization (T_p) up to a conventional polymerization condition (50–70°C), and the ¹³C NMR study shows that the isotactic poly-propylene obtained has fairly high [mmmm] methyl pentad distributions at high T_p (?25°C with [mmmm] ～ 0.93–0.75) and a perfect stereoregularity at low T_p (?0°C with [mmmm] > 0.99). The catalyst precursors 2 and Et(Ind)₂ZrCl₂ ( 3 ) supported on silica by different approaches produced poly(olefins) of different molecular weights and stereoregularities, and a methylaluminokane and Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ free silica-supported zirconocene system was found to be activated by triisobutylaluminum. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Dispersion polymerization of styrene in alcohol media: Effect of initiator concentration,solvent polarity,and temperature on the rate of polymerization

The effects of three different variables (initiator concentration, polarity of the solvent and reaction temperature) on the rate of dispersion polymerization of styrene in alcohols have been investigated. It was found that the rate of polymerization increases with the initiator (AIBN) concentration at the 0% conversion level and becomes independent of it at higher monomer conversions. More significant was the result that the rate was also found to increase with solvent polarity. This is consistent with thermodynamic equilibrium calculations which account for the partitioning behavior of monomer and solvent in both the solution and the particle phases. The results further suggest the existence of two different kinetic regions: one at low conversions, where the reaction takes place primarily in the solution phase, and one at high conversions, where the reaction takes place primarily in the particle phase. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Factors affecting propagating fronts of addition polymerization: Velocity,front curvature,temperatue profile,conversion, and molecular weight distribution

Several properties of propagating fronts of addition polymerization were studied. A power function could be fit to the velocity dependence on initiator concentration, but not with the exponents predicted by current models or in agreement with other published work. Bubbles from the volatile by-products of initiator decomposition were found to affect the front velocity and curvature. The front velocity for triethylene glycol dimethacrylate polymerization was found to depend linearly on temperature over a moderate range. The conversion of methacrylic acid in fronts varied greatly with initiator type and concentration. Benzoyl peroxide produced much lower conversion than t-butyl peroxide, but fronts with tBPO propagated slower. A dual initiator system of BPO and tBPO produced rapidly propagating fronts with good conversion but the contribution of each initiator to the velocity was not additive. The possibility of chain branching was considered. The apparent molecular weight distributions were very broad, often trimodal, and found to depend on initiator type and concentration as well as the tube diameter. The temperature profiles were measured and found to be very sharp for BPO and broader for tBPO but both had front temperatures in excess of 200°C, indicating a high ceiling temperature. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Living cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether using a variety of metal oxides as heterogeneous catalysts: Robust,reusable, and environmentally benign initiating systems

Cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) was examined using a variety of metal oxides in conjunction with IBVE–HCl adduct as a cationogen in toluene at 0 °C. Iron oxides (α‐Fe₂O₃, γ‐Fe₂O₃, and Fe₃O₄) induced living polymerization in the presence of an added base, ethyl acetate or 1,4‐dioxane, to give polymers with very narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs). Conversely, with other metal oxides such as Ga₂O₃, In₂O₃, ZnO, Co₃O₄, and Bi₂O₃, polymers with bimodal MWDs, including long‐lived species along with uncontrolled higher molecular weight portions, were produced in the presence of an added base. A small amount of nBu₄NCl or 2,6‐di‐tert‐butylpyridine (DTBP) suppressed the uncontrolled portion to induce controlled reactions with Ga₂O₃, In₂O₃, and ZnO. The roles of these reagents are discussed in terms of the nature of the active sites of the catalyst surface and the polymerization mechanisms. In addition, the reusability of the catalyst, the effect of stirring before and during polymerization, and the estimation of the number of active sites are also described. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

One‐Pot Synthesis of ABCDE Multiblock Copolymers with Hydrophobic,Hydrophilic, and Semi‐Fluorinated Segments

The scope and accessibility of sequence‐controlled multiblock copolymers is demonstrated by direct “in situ” polymerization of hydrophobic, hydrophilic and fluorinated monomers. Key to the success of this strategy is the ability to synthesize ABCDE, EDCBA and EDCBABCDE sequences with high monomer conversions (>98 %) through iterative monomer additions, yielding excellent block purity and low overall molar mass dispersities (Ð<1.16). Small‐angle X‐ray scattering showed that certain sequences can form well‐ordered mesostructures. This synthetic approach constitutes a simple and versatile platform for expanding the availability of tailored polymeric materials from readily available monomers.
