Synthesis of high molecular weight polyisobutylene via cationic polymerization at elevated temperatures

A novel simple but effective initiating system of H2O/AlCl3 /veratrole (VE) has been developed to synthesize high molecular weight polyisobutylene (PIB) at elevated temperatures via cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) in solvent mixture of hexane/methylene dichloride (n-Hex/CH2Cl2 = 2/1, V/V). VE played very important roles in decreasing cationicity of the growing chain ends, suppressing side reactions of chain transfer and termination during polymerization, leading to production of high molecular weight PIBs. PIBs with high yields, having very high weight-average molecular weight (Mw ) of 1117000 and 370000 g/mol could be synthesized with H2O/AlCl3 /VE initiating system at VE concentration of 5.4 mmol/L at 80 and 60℃ respectively. Molecular weight of PIB increased remarkably with increasing VE concentration. The reaction order with respect to VE concentration was determined to be 3.52 via FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance (ATR) immersion probe. The negative reaction order of VE was consistent with its retarding effect on IB polymerization by interacting with the propagating species. Molecular weight of PIB decreased with increasing polymerization temperature. The activation energy for polymerization degree (EDP ) could be determined to be around 23 kJ/mol when VE concentration was 5.4 mmol/L or 6.4 mmol/L.

官能化聚四氢呋喃-b-聚异丁烯-b-聚四氢呋喃三嵌段共聚物的合成与性能

采用2-氯-2,4,4-三甲基戊烷或对二枯基氯为引发剂和TiCl4或FeCl3为共引发剂,引发异丁烯(IB)可控/活性正离子聚合与官能端基转化,设计合成不同分子量及窄分子量分布的端基官能化聚异丁烯,如双端烯丙基溴官能化聚异丁烯(Br-PIB-Br)或双端烯丙基胺官能化聚异丁烯(H2N-PIB-NH2).采用烯丙基溴/高氯酸银体系引发四氢呋喃(THF)开环聚合,合成聚四氢呋喃活性链(PTHF+).进一步通过将IB可控/活性正离子聚合与THF可控/活性正离子开环聚合2种方法相结合,设计合成2种新型官能化聚四氢呋喃-b-聚异丁烯-b-聚四氢呋喃(PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF)三嵌段共聚物:(1)以上述Br-PIB-Br为大分子引发剂,在AgClO4作用下引发THF活性正离子开环聚合,采用水终止活性链端,设计合成双端为羟基的HO-PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF-OH三嵌段共聚物(简称:FIBF-OH);(2)以上述合成的PTHF+活性链与H2NPIB-NH2链端胺基发生高效亲核取代反应,设计合成中间链段连接点含―NH―官能基团的PTHF-b-HNPIB-NH-b-PTHF三嵌段共聚物(简称:FIBF-NH).在上述三嵌段共聚物中,极性PTHF链段与非极性PIB链段的热力学不相容,导致其呈现明显的微相分离,且微观形态与共聚组成相关.PTHF均聚物易结晶,在上述共聚物中由于PTHF链段单端受限致其结晶性减弱.三嵌段共聚物分子链的中间连接点含―NH―官能基团,具有更强的氢键作用,促进PTHF链段重排并结晶,易形成更紧密的超分子网络结构,导致即使在PTHF链段相对分子量为0.7 kg·mol^-1时仍具有较强的结晶性,且结晶熔融温度明显提高.此外,由于FIBF-NH中形成超分子网络结构,使材料具有优异的自修复性能,材料表面的切痕在常温下10 min后可以完全自愈合.本文设计合成的新型官能化PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF三嵌段共聚物兼具有PTHF与PIB的优良性能,在生物医用、智能修复等功能材料领域具有潜在的应用前景.

In situ monitoring of coordination copolymerization of butadiene and isoprene via ATR-FTIR spectroscopy

<正>FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance(ATR) immersion probe was utilized to study in situ the copolymerization of butadiene(Bd) and isoprene(Ip) with neodymium-based catalyst in hexane. The relationship between the signal intensity of monomer and its concentration was investigated.The kinetic study of copolymerization of Bd and Ip was further conducted,and the monomer reactivity ratios were determined via in situ ATR FTIR.The signal band at 1010 cm~(-1) was assigned to wagging vibration of Bd and its intensity was proportional to Bd concentration([Bd]) in the range of 0.46-3.88 mol·L~(-1).The signal bands at 890 and 989 cm~(-1) were assigned to wagging vibration of Ip and the signal intensity was also proportional to Ip concentration([Ip]) in the range of 0.08-4.73 mol·L~(-1) at 890 cm~(-1) and 0.08-7.49 mol·L~(-1) at 989 cm~(-1),respectively.Thus the signal band at 1010 cm~(-1) was chosen to monitor Bd concentration and bands at 989 and 890 cm~(-1) to monitor Ip concentration during the copolymerization,respectively.It was demonstrated that the conversions of Bd and Ip calculated from FTIR data agreed very well with those obtained gravimetrically.The polymerization rates were first order with respect to both[Bd]and[Ip],respectively at different polymerization temperatures.The apparent propagation activation energy for Bd and Ip could be determined to be 54.4 kJ·mol~(-1) and 57.7 kJ·mol~(-1),respectively.The monomer reactivity ratios were calculated to be 1.08 for Bd(r_(Bd)) and 0.48 for IP(r_(Ip)) based on FTIR data.The Bd-Ip copolymer products with random sequence could be obtained with only one glass transition temperature.
