Ring-opening polymerization of macrocyclic aryl ether ketone oligomers containing the 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene moiety

Facile ring-opening polymerization of cyclic aryl ether oligomers containing the 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene moiety to form high molecular weight linear polymers in the presence of a nucleophilic initiator is described. The polymerization can be initiated in the melt in the presence of a nucleophilic initiator such as potassium carbonate, cesium fluoride, and alkali phenoxides. Various alkali phenoxides were investigated as potential nucleophilic initiators. The polymerization reaction rate in the melt increases in the order of K⁺ > Na⁺ > Cs⁺, and in the order of ⁻OPhPhO⁻ > PhO⁻ > PhOPhO⁻ > PhPhO⁻. However, the polymerization in an aprotic dipolar solvent is faster in the presence of cesium phenoxide than in the presence of potassium phenoxide. Polymerization of the cyclic oligomers in solution demonstrates that the ring-opening polymerization proceeds via a chain-growth mechanism and involves a transetherification reaction between linear and cyclic aryl ether oligomers. The ring-chain equilibrium is much more favorable towards linear polymers. Since little or no ring strain exists in the cyclic system, the transetherification reactions are indiscriminate with regards to cyclic or linear chains and the interchain equilibration is also a facile process during polymerization. This intermolecular transetherification has been demonstrated by using low molecular weight aryl ethers to control the molecular weight of the polymer formed via ring-opening polymerization. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chemical properties of water-soluble,nonionic azo compounds as initiators for emulsion polymerization

Four kinds of water-soluble, nonionic azo compounds were studied in terms of their decomposition rate and initiator efficiency in radical polymerization, and then used for emulsion polymerization. They had relatively low initiator efficiency from 0.09 to 0.46. It was attributed to the susceptibility to a cage effect, depending on their molecular size and hydrophobicity. Four azo compounds initiated emulsion polymerization but nonionic latex particles were not obtained unexpectedly. Methanol-containing medium results in the formation of a bimodal particle size distribution as well as a bimodal molecular weight distribution. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Atom transfer radical polymerization initiated by N‐bromosuccinimide

N‐Bromosuccinimide (NBS) was used as the initiator in the atom transfer radical polymerizations of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). The NBS/CuBr/bipyridine (bpy) system shows good controllability for both polymerizations and yields polymers with polydispersity indexes ranging from 1.18 to 1.25 for St and 1.14 to 1.41 for MMA, depending on the conditions used. The end‐group analysis of poly(MMA) and polystyrene indicated the polymerization is initiated by the succinimidyl radicals formed from the redox reaction of NBS with CuBr/bpy. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ROMP based photoinitiator‐coinitiator systems with improved migration stability

Nowadays, migration stability is one of the key features for photoinitiators used in radiation curable formulations, especially when the material is in contact with food or the human body. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of statistical copolymers with covalently bound eosin and/or ethyl dimethylamino benzoate units by ring opening metathesis polymerization is presented. The prepared compounds were tested as macroinitiators for the photopolymerization of acrylates aiming at an initiator/coinitiator system which combines good polymerization activity with improved migration stability. An acrylate modified eosin derivative which is incorporated into the polymer network during the photopolymerization reaction and, therefore, less likely to leak from the polymer compound was used as reference. Photoinitiating activities of low and high molecular weight initiators and coinitiators were investigated by photo‐DSC. Moreover, leakage studies and viability tests with osteoblast‐like cells were performed to proof the suitability of this concept. The use of polymeric eosin in combination with a low molecular weight coinitiator was found to be a good compromise when aiming at a photoinitiating system with sound performance and improved migration stability. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Initiator‐fragment incorporation radical copolymerization of divinylbenzene and N‐isopropylacrylamide with dimethyl 2,2′‐azobisisobutyrate: Formation of soluble hyperbranched polymer nanoparticle

The copolymerization of divinylbenzene (DVB) and N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) with dimethyl 2,2′‐azobisisobutyrate of a concentration as high as 0.50 mol/L proceeded homogeneously without any gelation at 80 °C in N,N‐dimethylformamide, where the concentrations of DVB and NIPAm were 0.15 and 0.50 mol/L. The copolymer yield increased with time and leveled off over 50 min. Although DVB was consumed more rapidly than NIPAm, both comonomers were completely consumed in 50 min. The homogeneous polymerization system at 80 °C involved electron spin resonance‐observable propagating polymer radicals, the total concentration of which increased with time. The resulting copolymer was soluble in tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, N,N‐dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and methanol, but insoluble in benzene, n‐hexane, and water. The copolymer showed an upper critical solution temperature (50 °C on cooling) in a methanol–water [11:3 (v/v)] mixture. Dimethyl 2,2′‐azobisisobutyrate fragments as high as 37–45 mol % were incorporated as terminal groups in the copolymers through initiation and primary radical termination. The contents of DVB and NIPAm were 10–30 mol % and 30–50 mol %, respectively. The intrinsic viscosity of the copolymer was very low (0.09 dL/g) at 30 °C in tetrahydrofuran despite high weight‐average molecular weight (1.2 × l0⁶ by multi‐angle laser light scattering). These results indicate that the copolymer was of hyperbranched structure. By transmission electron microscopy observation, the individual copolymer molecules were visualized as nanoparticle of 6–20 nm. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toward self-assembling dendritic macromolecules from conventional monomers by a combination of living radical polymerization and irreversible terminator multifunctional initiator

TERMINI stands for irreversible terminator multifunctional initiator and represents a new concept elaborated in our laboratory for the design of novel macromolecules with complex architecture from a diversity of commercial monomers. TERMINI is a masked multifunctional initiator that quantitatively interrupts a living polymerization. After demasking, the TERMINI-derived repeat unit provides access to a quantitative reinitiation of the same living polymerization in more than one direction, thus becoming a branching point. In this article, with a combination of self-regulated metal-catalyzed living radical polymerization and TERMINI, we demonstrate a new method for the divergent synthesis of dendritic poly(methyl methacrylate) containing a bifunctional core at its focal point. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ε-己内酯负离子聚合过程烷氧基锂活性种的缔合

本文以粘度法研究在苯溶剂中,ε-己内酯负离子开环聚合过程,增长链活性种烷氧基锂(—O~-Li~+)的缔合,发现己内酯活性种的缔合和一般非极性单体不同,前者在聚合过程中(单体消耗完以前)并不发生缔合。在单体消耗完以后,聚己内酯活性种才确实以缔合体的形式存在。这是由于内酯本身贡献了强的溶剂化作用。
