Ultrathin self-assembled polymeric films on solid surfaces. I. Synthesis and characterization of acrylate copolymers containing alkyl disulfide side chains

Copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 2-methoxyethyl acrylate with variable compositions were synthesized, fractionated, and characterized by ¹H-NMR, IR, GPC, and viscometry. These copolymers were further modified via polymer analog esterification of copolymer hydroxy groups by a series of disulfide-containing carboxylic acids including lipoic acid and (n-pentyldithio) alkyl carboxylic acids (n-C₅H₁₁SS(CH₂)m? COOH, m = 10, 15, 22) in the presence of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). Esterification reactions were quantitative for copolymers possessing hydroxy monomer contents ≤ 40% when excess acid and DCC were present for sufficiently long reaction times (2–4 days) at room temperature. Copolymer DSC analysis demonstrates a systematic variation of T_g with copolymer composition in good agreement with ideal mixing theory. These disulfide-bearing copolymers spontaneously yield two-dimensional ultrathin polymer films with side chain-dependent layer thicknesses of 20–45 Å by solution adsorption onto freshly deposited gold surfaces. Such ultrathin polymer films are expected to have diverse applications as bound polymeric surface modification reagents. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

BARRIER PROPERTIES OF VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE/METHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER

A series of vinylidene dichloride (VDC) copolymers with methyl acrylate (MA) ascomonomer (3--12wt%), was prepared by free-radical suspension copolymerization. Thepermeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen and carbon dioxide were measured at1.0 MPa and at 30℃, and those to water vapor were measured at 30℃ and 100% relativehumidity All the VDC/MA copolymers studied are semicrystalline. As the MA contentincreases, the permeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen, carbon dioxide, andwater vapor are progressively increased, caused by decrease in crystalline fraction andincrease in free volume of VDC/MA copolymers.     

A DFT study on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of C-(methoxycarbonyl)-N-methyl nitrone with methyl acrylate and vinyl acetate

In the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of glyoxylic nitrones with electron-poor and electron-rich alkenes, the configurational instability of the nitrone leads to parallel models when regio- and stereoselectivities are rationalized. The energetics of the cycloaddition reactions have been investigated through molecular orbital calculations at the B3LYP/6-31-G(d) theory level. By studying different reaction channels and reagent conformations, leading to a total of sixteen transition structures for each dipolarophile, the regio- and stereochemical preferences of the reaction are discussed.

Synthesis and characterization of UV-curable polydimethylsiloxane epoxy acrylate

UV-curable polydimethylsiloxane epoxy acrylate (PSEA) was synthesized by hydrosilylation of allyl glycidyl ether with hydrogen-containing polydimethylsiloxane to give polydimethylsiloxane-type epoxy resin which modified with acrylic acid. The curing speed and the double bond conversion in the UV cured film were influenced by the purity of PSEA with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurements. The influences of the synthetic process, such as, the reaction temperature, the concentration of reactants and the catalyst which determined the purity and activity of resins were discussed in detail. The structures of this resin were characterized by ¹H-NMR and FT-IR spectra. The molecular weight was checked by gel permeation chromatography, and M_n is 45,000. The properties of the cured film were also investigated by thermogravimetric analyzer, dynamical thermal mechanical analysis, and etc. For example, tensile strength (6.9 Mpa), elongation (20%), hardness (A; 18), water absorption (24 h; 2%), weight loss (40 min, 300 °C; 5%) and etc.

Potassium and sodium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxides and their properties

The crucial factor of the reaction of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol with alkali hydroxides is temperature, depending on which two types of potassium or sodium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxides are formed. These types exhibit different catalytic activity in the alkylation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol with methyl acrylate. More active forms of 2,6-Bu^t ₂C₆H₃OK or 2,6-Bu^t ₂C₆H₃ONa are synthesized at temperatures higher than 160 °C and are predominantly the monomers, which dimerize on cooling. The data of ¹H NMR, electronic, and IR spectra for the corresponding forms of 2,6-Bu^t ₂C₆H₃OK and 2,6-Bu^t ₂C₆H₃ONa isolated in the individual state are in agreement with cyclohexadienone structure. In DMSO or DMF, the dimeric forms of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxides react with methyl acrylate to form methyl 3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)propionate in 64–92% yield.

Iron‐catalyzed living radical polymerization of acrylates: Iodide‐based initiating systems and block and random copolymerizations

A half‐metallocene iron iodide complex [Fe(Cp)I(CO)₂] induced living radical polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) in conjunction with an iodide initiator [(CH₃)₂C(CO₂Et)I, 1 ] and Al(Oi‐Pr)₃ to give polymers of controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs) (M_w/M_n < 1.2). With the use of chloride and bromide initiators, the MWDs were broader, whereas the molecular weights were similarly controlled. Other acrylates such as n‐butyl acrylate (nBA) and tert‐butyl acrylate (tBA) can be polymerized with 1 /Fe(Cp)I(CO)₂ in the presence of Ti(Oi‐Pr)₄ and Al(Oi‐Pr)₃, respectively, to give living polymers. The 1 /Fe(Cp)I(CO)₂ initiating system is applicable for the synthesis of block and random copolymers of acrylates (MA, nBA, and tBA) and styrene of controlled molecular weights and narrow MWDs (M_w/M_n = 1.2–1.3). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
