β-CYCLODEXTRIN REGULATED STEREOREGULARITY AND MOLECULAR WEIGHT IN INCLUSION POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymers were prepared by inclusion polymerization of the monomer using various molar equivalents of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Stereoregular (isotactic, atactic and syndiotactic) distributions of the prepared PAN polymers were determined from terminal model Bernoullian statistics using ¹³C-NMR data. With an increase in acrylonitrile (AN): β-CD ratios, the proportion of isotactic polymers increased. Also, T_g increased along with degradation temperature at higher AN: β-CD ratios. However, molecular weight of the polymers prepared was lower at an AN: β-CD ratio of 10:1, but was found to be larger than the control at an AN: β-CD ratio of 20:1.     

Polymerization of acrylonitrile initiated by samarium diiodide in the presence of hexamethylphosphoramide

The paper presents the polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) initiated by samarium diiodide (SmI₂) combining with hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) for the first time. The effects of various parameters, such as reaction temperature, AN/Sm and HMPA/Sm molar ratios, reaction time on the polymer yield and its molecular weight were discussed. On the basis of both IR and NMR analysis of resulted polymers, a single-electron-transfer initiation mechanism of AN as radical anion was proposed for this polymerization, which was further sustained by the copolymerization of AN with ε-caprolactone and 2,2-dimethyltrimethylene carbonate, respectively.     

Emulsion polymerization of acrylonitrile. Part I. Role and effect of emulsifiers in the emulsion polymerization of acrylonitrile

The role in and effects on the emulsion polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) of three different groups of emulsifiers, i.e., low molecular emulsfiers, well-known water-soluble polymers, and new water-soluble polymers containing a sulfonate group have been investigated by a dilatometry and electron microscopy. The major part of this paper concentrates on the study of the relation between the properties of the third group of emulsifiers and emulsion polymerization characteristics of AN such as rate, degree of polymerization, diameter and number of particles, and the degree of dispersion, by adding copolymers of AN and sodium p-styrenesulfonate (SSS) having various compositions. In the emulsion polymerization of AN, the hydrophobic portion of the emulsifier seems to act as a kind of nucleus around which polymer molecules precipitate and particle formation may occur, and the hydrophilic portion stabilizes the polymer particles thus formed. As the number of particles and the degree of dispersion increases, the total surface of the particles increases, which may raise the overall rate of polymerization due mainly to an increased polymerization on the surface of the polymer particles. The well-known emulsifiers may be classified by the properties and ratio of the nucleus portion and the stabilizing portion. The unusual effect of emulsifiers on the degree of polymerization may be explained by a chain-transfer mechanism.     

Copolymerization of 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane with electrophilic vinyl monomers through zwitterionic mechanism

Spontaneous copolymerization of cyclic ketene acetal, 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane ( I ) with common electrophilic vinyl monomers, such as methyl α-cyanoacrylate (MCA), acrylonitrile (AN), and methyl methacrylate (MMA) were investigated to further explore zwitterion polymerization method with cyclic ketene acetals. In the reaction of I with MCA and AN, spontaneous copolymerization took place at ambient temperature. The copolymers of I with MCA gave low molecular weight polymers, but copolymers obtained with I and AN were high molecular weight polymers. In the reaction of I and MMA, high molecular weight copolymer was obtained only at temperatures above 80°C. Thus, obtained polymers were not the alternating copolymers and possessed high I content in all the cases. From the above results, macrozwitterionic mechanism was suggested as discussed.     

Modeling the free radical polymerization of acrylates

Acrylates have gained importance because of their ease of conversion to high‐molecular‐weight polymers and their broad industrial use. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a well‐known monomer for free radical polymerization, but its α‐methyl substituent restricts the chemical modification of the monomer and therefore the properties of the resulting polymer. The presence of a heteroatom in the methyl group is known to increase the polymerizability of MMA. Methyl α‐hydroxymethylacrylate (MHMA), methyl α‐methoxymethylacrylate (MC₁MA), methyl α‐acetoxymethylacrylate (MAcMA) show even better conversions to high‐molecular‐weight polymers than MMA. In contrast, the polymerization rate is known to decrease as the methyl group is replaced by ethyl in ethyl α‐hydroxymethylacrylate (EHMA) and t‐butyl in t‐butyl α‐hydroxymethylacrylate (TBHMA). In this study, quantum mechanical tools (B3LYP/6‐31G*) have been used in order to understand the mechanistic behavior of the free radical polymerization reactions of acrylates. The polymerization rates of MMA, MHMA, MC₁MA, MAcMA, EHMA, TBHMA, MC₁AN (α‐methoxymethyl acrylonitrile), and MC₁AA (α‐methoxymethyl acrylic acid) have been evaluated and rationalized. Simple monomers such as allyl alcohol (AA) and allyl chloride (AC) have also been modeled for comparative purposes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005     

Nanocomposite structures of polypyrrole derivatives and poly (acrylonitrile‐co‐itaconic acid) produced by in situ polymerization as carbon nanofiber precursor

This study aimed to produce nanoparticles of poly (acrylonitrile‐co‐itaconic acid) (P (AN‐co‐IA)) containing conjugated polymers of pyrrole, N‐Methylpyrrole, 2,5‐dimethylpyrrole, and 1‐(Triisopropylsilyl)pyrrole which were synthesized by emulsion polymerization. Nanocomposite structures of P (AN‐co‐IA)/polypyrrole and polymer of pyrrole derivatives were produced via in situ polymerization, and the nanoparticle formation were followed by morphologic and ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐Vis) spectroscopic methods. Characterizations were made by Fourier transform infrared‐attenuated total reflectance (FTIR‐ATR) and Raman spectroscopy. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for investigating the surface characteristics of the nanoparticles. Characterization results revealed that nanoparticles containing conjugated polymers had rougher surface than P (AN‐co‐IA) nanoparticles. It was also observed that the nanoparticles were well‐distributed although having some agglomerates. Moreover, depending on the type of monomer of conjugated polymer, the shape and size of the produced nanoparticles differed by conjunction with their polymerization rate. These findings can be used as a startup information for production of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with desired properties after oxidation and carbonization, and as a high‐performance and cost‐effective flame and heat‐resistant material (oxidized copolymers of polyacrylonitrile nanofiber).     

Acrylic fibers processing with ionic liquid as solvent

Ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl), was used as solvent for the polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and the resulting polymer solution was directly applied for spinning to produce polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber for the first time. Acrylic polymers with high content of AN, large molecular weight, and low polydispersity index (PDI) were prepared. The PAN macromolecules have little degradation during dissolution of PAN in [BMIM]Cl, which is completely different from the dissolution of biopolymers such as cellulose in ionic liquids. The PAN fiber with round profile and good mechanical properties was successfully spun from the PAN/[BMIM]Cl solution using dry–jet wet spinning technology. It suggests that an environmental friendly process for the acrylic fiber would be developed and the high performance PAN fiber would be obtained when the spinning conditions are optimized further.

8-丙烯酰氧喹啉及其聚合物与四溴化碳双组分体系敏化的丙烯腈光聚合

Photopolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) sensitized by binary component initiators consisting of 8-acryloyloxyquinoline (AQ) and its polymer (PAQ) with carbon tetrabromide (CTB) are investigated kinetically. It is found that the polymerization rates are proportional to 0.19th power of AQ concentration, 0.35th power of CTB concentration and 0.62th power of AN concentration for AQ-CTB system initiation system; proportional to 0.24th power of PAQ concentration, 0.22th power of CTB concentration and 1.0th power of AN concentration initia-ted by above systems are obtained to be 5.26Kcal/mol and 6.34Kcal/mol respectively. It is also found that the polymerization rates sensitized by addition of CTB to AQ or PAQ are much higher than that ofAQ or PAQ alone. Forom the fluorescence analysis of AN polymers,it is confirmed that AQ or PAQ joints into the AN polymer chains. The molecular weight of PAN sensitized by the binary initiatorsystems is lower than that of AQ or PAQ sensitized.     

Poly(thienyl‐phenylene)s with macromolecular side chains by oxidative polymerization of well‐defined macromonomers

Well‐defined polystyrene (PSt), poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) or poly(2‐methyloxazoline) (POx) based polymers containing mid‐ or end‐chain 2,5‐ or 3,5‐dibromobenzene moieties were prepared by controlled polymerization methods, such as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), ring opening polymerization (ROP), or cationic ring opening polymerization (CROP). These polymers were subsequently modified by Suzuki type coupling reactions with 2‐thiophene boronic acid. The resulting polymers, containing a conjugated sequence with 2‐thienyl groups at the extremities, could be further used as macromonomers in chemical oxidative polymerization in the presence of anhydrous FeCl₃. Poly(thienyl‐phenylene)s having the respective PSt or PCL chains as lateral subtituents were obtained in this way. All the starting, intermediate, or final polymers were structurally analyzed by spectroscopic methods (¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements. Thermal behavior of the macromonomers and final polymers was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses. Optical properties of the polymers were monitored by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. The emission spectra of the polymers show a clear bathochromic shift of the λ_max emission in all the cases with respect to the monomers because of the extending of the conjugation length. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
