Electrosynthesis of highly conducting poly(1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene) in BF3·Et2O

Direct anodic oxidation of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN), an important derivative of naphthalene, led to the formation of high-quality semiconducting poly(1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene) (PDHN) on stainless steel sheets in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BFEE). The onset oxidation potential of DHN in this medium was measured to be only 0.78 V vs. SCE, which was lower than that determined in traditional acetonitrile containing 0.1 mol/L tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (0.98 V vs. SCE). As-formed PDHN films showed good redox activity and stability, together with interesting electrochromic property from brown (doped) to yellow-green (dedoped). Structural characterization, including FTIR, ¹H NMR, and quantum chemistry calculations, indicated that the polymerization of DHN probably occurred at C₄ and C₈ positions. Moreover, thermal analysis revealed that PDHN displayed better thermal stability than that synthesized by chemical method. The fluorescence spectral studies, together with the electrical tests, showed that PDHN was a good blue light-emitter (fluorescence quantum yield higher than 0.1) with an electrical conductivity of as high as 0.46 S/cm.     

Laccase‐catalyzed Synthesis and Antioxidant Property of Poly(catechin)

Catechin was oxidatively polymerized by laccase in a mixture of a polar organic solvent and buffer to give a new class of flavonoid polymers. Myceliophthora laccase showed high catalytic activity for the polymerization. Using a mixed solvent of acetone and pH 5 acetate buffer efficiently produced the polymer. Under the selected conditions, DMF‐soluble polymers were obtained in good yields. Effects of reaction parameters on the yield, solubility, and molecular weight of the polymer have been systematically investigated. A radical species was detected in the polymer by ESR spectroscopy. The polymers showed greatly amplified superoxide scavenging activity and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity compared with monomeric catechin.

Synthesis and characterization of polymers produced by horseradish peroxidase in dioxane

Polymers were synthesized from substituted phenolic and aromatic amine compounds with hydrogen peroxide as the source of an oxidizing agent and horseradish peroxidase enzyme as the catalyst. The polymerization reaction was carried out in a monophasic organic solvent with small amounts of water at room temperature. Conditions for the synthesis of polymers with respect to reaction time and yield were studied with a number of monomers at different concentrations and in solvents with different buffers with pH range of 5.0–7.5. Physical and chemical properties of these homo-and copolymers were determined with respect to melting point, solubility, elemental analysis, molecular weight distribution, infrared absorption (including FTIR), solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance, thermal gravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The enzyme catalyzed reactions produced polymers of molecular weight greater than 400,000 which were further fractionated by differential solubility in solvent mixtures and the molecular weight distribution of the polymer fractions were determined. In general, the polymers synthesized have low solubilities, high melting points, and some degree of branching.     

Preparation and polymerization of methylenecyclobutene and 1-methyl-3-methylenecyclobutene

Methylenecyclobutene (MCB) and 1-methyl-3-methylenecyclobutene (MMCB) were synthesized, characterized, and polymerized by anionic and cationic initiators. Structural analyses of the polymers were carried out by infrared and NMR spectros-copy. The cationic polymerization of MCB appeared to proceed entirely by a 1,5-propagation mechanism to form low molecular weight polymers in low yields. Anionic polymerization of this monomer, on the other hand, proceeded primarily through a 1,2-propagation path, again forming only low molecular weight polymeric products in low yield. In contrast to MCB, the methyl-substituted monomer, MMCB, polymerized readily with cationic initiators to produce unusually high molecular weight polymers in high conversions. On the basis of both infrared and NMR spectroscopic analyses, it was concluded that the polymers also contained essentially only 1,5-addition repeating units. Anionic initiators such as n-BuLi were unable to induce polymerization of this monomer, but polymerization by Ziegler-Natta catalysts proceeded readily to yield polymers virtually identical in structure and molecular weight to those obtained with cationic initiators.     

High‐molecular‐weight poly(1,5‐dioxepan‐2‐one) via enzyme‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization

To avoid organometallic catalysts in the synthesis of poly(1,5‐dioxepan‐2‐one), the enzymatic ring‐opening polymerization of 1,5‐dioxepan‐2‐one (DXO) was performed with lipase CA (derived from Candida antarctica) as a biocatalyst. A linear relationship between the number‐average molecular weight and monomer conversion was observed, and this suggested that the product molecular weight could be controlled by the stoichiometry of the reactants. The monomer consumption followed a first‐order rate law with respect to the monomer, and no chain termination occurred. Water acted as a chain initiator, but it could cause polymer hydrolysis when it exceeded an optimum level. An initial activation via the heating of the enzyme was sufficient to start the polymerization, as the monomer conversion occurred when samples were left at room temperature after an initial heating at 60 °C. A high lipase content led to a high monomer conversion as well as a high molecular weight. An increase in the monomer conversion and molecular weight was observed when the polymerization temperature was increased from 40 to 80 °C. A further increase in the polymerization temperature led to a decrease in the monomer conversion and molecular weight because of the denaturation of the enzyme at elevated temperatures. The polymerization behavior of DXO under lipase CA catalysis was compared with that of ε‐caprolactone (CL). The rate of monomer conversion of DXO was much faster than that of CL, and this may have been due to differences in their specificity toward lipase CA. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(lactic acid) brushes grow longer at lower temperatures

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) brushes prepared by the ring opening of lactide were thicker when polymerized at a lower temperature (25 °C) than was typically used for polymerization in solution. The molecular weight of solution polymerized lactide was also higher when lactide was polymerized at 25 °C compared with polymerization at higher temperatures. However, the yield of PLA was low at this temperature. These results highlight the different requirements for solution polymerization and brush growth. In the former case, both percentage of conversion and molecular weight are important considerations. In the latter case, however, percentage of conversion is unimportant as a brush represents a very small amount of polymer. It was also shown during the course of these studies that the native hydroxy groups on silicon substrates and silanols in solution were equally good initiators when compared with hydroxy terminated self‐assembled monolayers on gold and alcohols, respectively. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

水介质中2,6-二甲基苯酚的氧化偶合聚合

聚2,6-二甲基苯醚(PPO)是重要的工程塑料,一般采用在有机溶剂中使2,6-二甲基苯酚(DMP)氧化聚合的方法合成,这就需要溶剂回收装置和防爆反应器,且污染环境.从绿色化学观点出发,以水作为反应介质,不仅对环境友好,而且PPO不溶于水,容易分离.近年来,一些学者研究了在油/水两相或全水介质中使DMP氧化聚合合成PPO的新方法.本文主要综述了该方法的研究进展,包括DMP氧化聚合的机理,油/水两相或水介质中对聚合速率、氧化偶合选择性及PPO分子量等的影响因素.     

Low-temperature polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether

Isobutyl vinyl ether has been polymerized under conditions well known to yield isotactic polymer, viz., with boron trifluoride etherate at 78°C. in a nonpolar hydrocarbon diluent. A particular mixed solvent ratio and previous dissolution of catalyst enabled the polymerization to proceed homogeneously at the beginning. By following the temperature rise in an initially thermostatted system, we showed that the progress of the reaction eventually proceeded via a homogeneous phase to a gellike phase. Isotactic polymer is shown to be produced in both steps by a mechanism of slow chain propagation.     

Radical polymerization of allyl alcohol and allyl acetate

Monoallyl compounds are not readily homopolymerized by a conventional free‐radical mechanism. However, the polymerization of allylbiguanide hydrochloride was reported to proceed in a concentrated solution of hydrochloric or phosphoric acid in the presence of a radical initiator. Here we have studied the polymerization of allyl alcohol by a radical initiator in the presence of a Lewis acid (ZnCl₂, CuCl₂ or MgCl₂) in an organic solvent (toluene, hexane, methanol or isopropanol). Reactions were performed either at room temperature or 50°C under an atmosphere of nitrogen or in a sealed tube. The same polymerization was also carried out in water and in a concentrated acid solution. The polymer product was purified by dialysis in 0.2–3.7% yield and confirmed by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and ¹H NMR. The molecular weight range of poly(allyl alcohol) was 10,000–35,000. The polymerization of allyl acetate by the radical initiator under the above conditions gave poly(allyl acetate) with the molecular weight range of 10,000–13,800 by multi‐angle laser light scattering.

The Study on Pervaporation Behaviors of Dilute Organic Solution Through PDMS/PTFE Composite Membrane

As an energy-efficient alternative to distillation, pervaporation has been widely combined with fermentation to remove organic compounds from their dilute solutions in a fermentation broth. In this work, the organic permselective composite membrane is prepared by coating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cross-linked with n-heptane on the substrate of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) membrane. The separation behavior is studied in different dilute organic solutions, which include acetone dilute solution, butanone dilute solution, cyclohexanone dilute solution, ethanol dilute solution, isopropanol dilute solution, n-butyl alcohol dilute solution, acetic acid dilute solution, and ethyl acetate dilute solution. Most of these solutions are main reaction products or by-products from fermentation process. The effects of solubility of organics in the membrane, molecular weight, and polarity of the organics on the pervaporation performance are investigated. The effects of operating temperature and organic concentration in the feed solutions on the performance of composite membrane are studied as well. The experimental results show that molecular volume has less influence than solubility and molecular polarity for these organic solvent. The selectivity of PDMS membrane to ethyl acetate is relative high due to good solubility and diffusion of ethyl acetate molecules in polymer.     

Synthesis of a novel naphthalene-based poly(arylene ether-ketone) by polycondensation of 1,5-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)-2,6-dimethylnaphthalene with bisphenol a

Synthesis of 1,5-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)-2,6-dimethylnaphthalene ( 1 ), polycondensation of 1 with Bisphenol A, and properties of the obtained polymer were studied. Friedel–Crafts acylation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene with 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride in nitrobenzene selectivity afforded 1 in 82% yield. X-ray single crystal structural analysis of 1 confirmed that the dibenzoylation proceeded regioselectively and two methyl groups sterically inhibited the coplanarity of the two aromatic planes. The polycondensation of 1 with Bisphenol A in toluene/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) mixed solvent in the presence of excess potassium carbonate as a condensation reagent was carried out at 180°C for 4 h to quantitatively afford the corresponding poly(arylene ether-ketone) (PEK) 3 with high molecular weight (M?_n～30,000) as a slightly yellow powder. As the reaction time was prolonged, both M?_n and MWD of 3 increased and the solubility of 3 in chloroform clearly decreased. By GPC-LALLS, M?_n of 3 obtained by the polycondensation for 16 h, was 85,000. The PEK 3 with high molecular weight was produced in a quantitative yield in a variety of solvents such as sulfolane. Water formed during the polycondensation hardly affected the yield and molecular weight of 3 , although a small molecular weight decrease took place. To evaluate the special effect of the methyl groups of 3 , polycondensation of 2,6-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)naphthalene 2 with bisphenol A was carried out for comparison and the corresponding PEK 4 was quantitatively obtained. Whereas 3 was soluble in ordinary organic solvents such as tet-rahydrofuran (THF), chloroform, and NMP at room temperature, 4 was insoluble in most solvents except for strong acids such as conc. sulfonic acid. The polymer 3 showed high glass transition temperature (238°C) and 5% weight loss temperature (457°C). Casting of the polymer from THF solution gave a transparent, tough, flexible, and amorphous film. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermal properties and solubility of poly-1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxydiimides containing 1,3,5-triazine rings

Aromatic polyimides were synthesized by polymerization of 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 2-dialkylamino-4,6-dihydrazino-1,3,5-triazines by a solution polymerization method followed by cyclodehydration. The polyimides had number-average molecular weights over 13,000–16,000 or viscosity values of 0.23–0.65 dl/g. The x-ray diffraction diagram of polyimide I showed a crystal pattern, but the pattern became less pronounced with increasing length of the polymer side chain, and thus polyimide V showed a typical amorphous pattern. Study of the thermal stability of the polyimides by thermogravimetric analysis showed that a steep weight loss occurred in the range 380–410°C. Among the polyimides, I had only poor solubility in organic solvent, while IV and V were soluble even in general organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane.     

Accelerating Membrane‐based CO2 Separation by Soluble Nanoporous Polymer Networks Produced by Mechanochemical Oxidative Coupling

Achieving homogeneous dispersion of nanoporous fillers within membrane architectures remains a great challenge for mixed‐matrix membrane (MMMs) technology. Imparting solution processability of nanoporous materials would help advance the development of MMMs for membrane‐based gas separations. A mechanochemically assisted oxidative coupling polymerization strategy was used to create a new family of soluble nanoporous polymer networks. The solid‐state ball‐milling method affords inherent molecular weight control over polymer growth and therefore provides unexpected solubility for the resulting nanoporous frameworks. MMM‐based CO₂/CH₄ separation performance was significantly accelerated by these new soluble fillers. We anticipate this facile method will facilitate new possibilities for the rational design and synthesis of soluble nanoporous polymer networks and promote their applications in membrane‐based gas separations.

Polymerization of aromatic olefins in the system liquid sulfur dioxide–percompounds: The nature of the initiation

Indene, α-methylstyrene, and styrene were polymerized in liquid sulfur dioxide in the presence of hydroperoxides and peracids. With indene, depending on the molar ratio of the monomer to sulfur dioxide, homopolymerization and polysulfone formation could be observed. With α-methylstyrene spontaneous polymerization in liquid sulfur dioxide was observed; the addition of hydroperoxide increased the yield and molecular weight. Styrene was polymerized in this solvent with hydroperoxides and peracids, the latter being a more effective initiator. The initiation in these systems could be explained by the formation of a mixed anhydride between sulfuric acid and m-chlorobenzoic acid.     

Solid-State Polymerization of N-Vinylcarbazole by Redox Catalyst

A crystal of N-vinylcarbazole was polymerized by redox catalyst (ammonium persulfite/sodium bisulfate) in a suspended state in water and poly (vinyl carbazole) was obtained. The polymerization proceeded rapidly above 40°C without an induction period in the solid state. The molecular weight of the polymer increased with decreasing catalyst concentration and raising temperature. ηsp/^c of polymer was in the range 0.04–0.07 and it was lower than that obtained in radiation-induced solid-state polymerization. Observation of the partially polymerized crystal through a polarizing microscope showed that the polymerization proceeded from the surface of the monomer crystal and that birefringence was observed in the polymer layer. In X-ray diffraction studies it was found that the polymer was crystalline.
