Exploration of Novel Pyrene Labeled Amphiphilic Block Copolymers: Synthesis Via ATRP,Characterization and Properties

A novel initiator containing pyrene, a fluorescent moiety, was prepared by reacting 1-aminopyrene and 2-bromoisobutyl bromide. The structure elucidation of the new initiator was carried out using various spectroscopic tools, as well as through single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Novel, fluorescent amphiphilic block copolymers with a pyrene end-group, poly(styrene-b-acrylic acid) [P(S-b-AA)], poly(methyl methacrylate-b-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) [P(MMA-b-DMAEMA)], poly(styrene-b-tert-butyl acrylate) [P(S-b?t-BA)], poly(styrene-b-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) [P(S-b-DMAEMA)] were successfully synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method, using CuBr as the catalyst and N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA)/N,N,N′,N″,N″-hexamethyltriethylenetetramine (HMTETA) as the complexing agent. The polymers were characterized by GPC, ¹H-NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies. It was observed that as the polymerization time increased, both the conversion and the molecular weight increased linearly with time. The fluorescence properties of the polymers prepared were recorded. The physical properties and especially the pH dependent swelling properties of the amphiphilic block copolymers have been investigated. The utility of the block copolymers in the formation of stable dispersion of cadmium sulphide nanoparticles was investigated as a model study.     

Partition of initiators in quasi-static precipitation polymerization of AAm/MAc

In order to investigate the partition of initiators for quasi-static precipitation polymerization of acrylamide(AAm) and methacrylic acid(MAc) in ethanol, azo-initiators were employed with various functional groups such as ―COOCH3(V-601, dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(isobutyrate)), ― CN(V-65, 2,2′-Azobis(2,4-diemthylvaleronitrile)), ― COOH(V-501, 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid)) and ―NH-(VA-061, 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane]), respectively. Particle size, induction time and kinetics of polymerization were investigated by the scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and gravimetry. It was observed that the polymerization parameters, such as the particle size, induction time and polymerization rate, were considerably affected by the functional groups of initiators. Besides, the monomer concentration also played important roles in the particle formation. By using V-601, the polymerization rate was strongly correlated with the total surface area of particles and the concentration of initiators. However, by using V-501, the polymerization rate was strongly related to W0 Ci,0, where W0 is the initial concentration of monomers and Ci,0, the initial concentration of initiators. The results indicated that the different functional groups determined the different partition types of initiators between the minimonomer droplets and the continuous phase due to the molecular interactions of initiator and monomers. V-601 was all partitioned in the continuous phase, but a part of V-65 was partitioned in the minimonomer droplets. Besides the V-501 dissolved in the continuous phase, a part of V-501 was adsorbed on the surface of minimonomer droplets. VA-061 destroyed the stability of minimonomer droplets by the formation of zwitterions with MAA.     

One‐step synthesis of block copolymers using a hydroxyl‐functionalized trithiocarbonate RAFT agent as a dual initiator for RAFT polymerization and ROP

A range of well‐defined block copolymers were synthesized using 4‐cyano‐4‐(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanylpentanol (CDP) as a dual initiator for reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) in a one‐step process. Styrene, (meth)acrylate, and acrylamide monomers were polymerized in a controlled manner for one block composed of vinyl monomers, and δ‐valerolactone (VL), ε‐caprolactone (CL), trimethylene carbonate (TMC), and L ‐lactide (LA) were used for the other block composed of cyclic monomers. Diphenyl phosphate was used as a catalyst for the ROP of VL, CL, and TMC, and 4‐dimethyamino pyridine for the ROP of LA. These catalysts did not interfere with RAFT polymerization and the synthesis of various block copolymers proceeded in a controlled manner. CDP was found to be a very useful dual initiator for a one‐step synthesis of various block copolymers by a combination of RAFT polymerization and ROP. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tentative Identification of the Reactive Species in the Reaction of Cp2 TiCl2 with Salts of Diacids

The tentative identification of the reactive species in the condensation of Cp₂ TiCl₂ with salts of diacids to form titanium polysters is made. The reactive species are believed to be the same for both aqueous solution and interfacial systems, i.e., R -CO₂ ^? and Cp₂ Ti²⁺ with reaction occurring in the aqueous phase. The condensation of Cp₂ TiCl₂ with disodium terephthalate in interfacial systems occurs via a pseudo-first-order reaction:

Rate = K[Cp₂ TiCl₂] The rate-determining step (s) is believed to be diffusion of CP₂ TiCl₂ into the aqueous layer and/or hydrolysis of Cp₂ TiCl₂     

Polyketoetheresters from 4,4′-Dichloroacetyldiphenyl Ether and their Characterization

Benzyl chloride and phenacyl chloride are reported to condense with sodium acetate or sodium benzoate, affording the corresponding esters [1–4]. This suggested that a dichloride monomer can poly condense with a sodium dioate, affording a polyester. Akhmedzade and Yasnopolskii reported one such polyester synthesis based on polycondensation of p-xylylene dihalide with sodium terephthalate [5]. As phenacyl chloride is more reactive than benzyl chloride is more reactive than benzyl chloride [4], 4,4′-dichloroacetyldiphenyl ether (DADE) should prove even more reactive than a dichloride of the Ar(CH₂Cl)₂ type. The work presented here comprises a study of the polycondensation of DADE with sodium adipate (ADP), sebacate (SEB), or terephthalate (TER).
