A facile approach to surface graft vinyl acetate onto polyolefin articles

A facile and environment friendly approach was developed to graft vinyl acetate (VAc) onto plastic articles in an aqueous solution using tert‐butyl alcohol (TBA) as a compatiblizer and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. In a novel setup, excessive monomer suspended in a water phase, VAc could be conveniently grafted on the model substrate of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) film and the graft percentage (GP) could be developed up to 7.3%. Reaction temperature could increase GP significantly, while adding monomer over a critical volume did not influence GP. By adding some paradioxybenzene, i.e. 0.06–0.08% in VAc phase, homopolymer PVAc could be avoided practically, while graft polymerization proceeded favorably in aqueous solutions. It was proved by attenuated total reflection‐infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy that grafted VAc was located mainly at the surface of the LDPE film and hydrophilic nature of both grafted and alcoholyzed films were improved via contact angle measurements.

褐藻酸铜配合物膜催化VAc自由基聚合

以褐藻酸钠膜浸渍在15%CuCl2*2H2O水溶液中48 h的方法,于室温制备了疏水性的褐藻酸铜(Ⅱ)配位聚合物膜,并通过ESR、 UV-Vis、 IR、 XPS和电导率等手段,研究此配位催化剂褐藻酸铜(Ⅱ)配位聚合物膜表面的组成、配位结构和性质,得知1个Cu2+ 是以dsp2杂化空轨道与褐藻酸2个链节单元的2个羧羟基氧及其2个脱质子带负电荷氧的孤对电子发生配位作用,形成低自旋构型的褐藻酸铜(Ⅱ)配位聚合物,中心Cu2+ 的配位数为4,这对于低分子配合物而言,其空间构型一般是正方形,但在褐藻酸铜(Ⅱ)配位聚合物中,由于褐藻酸分子链的缠绕和卷曲,使上述的空间构型被扭曲,甚至有些配位体没有到位,导致该配位聚合物的中心Cu2+ 存在一些空位中心而具有配位催化活性,因此,HSO3-能按配位催化机理产生初级自由基氢,使醋酸乙烯酯(VAc)按自由基加聚反应历程进行聚合,这有别于CuCl2-Na2SO3-H2O氧化还原引发聚合体系。测定VAc在本体系和室温、pH=7条件下聚合的诱导期为90 s,反应时间24 h。聚醋酸乙烯酯(PVAc)得率82%, mw=1.02×106, mn=2.27×105, mw/mn=4.49。     

Syntheses and antitumor activities of polymers containing amino acid and 5‐fluorouracil moieties

The new monomer, 3,6‐endo‐methylene‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl‐5‐fluorouracil (ETEFU), was synthesized from 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) and 3,6‐endo‐methylene‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydophthalimidoethanoyl chloride (ETEC). Its homopolymer and copolymers with acrylic acid (AA) and vinyl acetate (VAc) were prepared by photopolymerization reactions using 2,2‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenylacetophenone (DMP) as the photoinitiator. The synthesized ETEFU and polymers were identified by FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR, and ¹³C‐NMR spectra. The contents of ETEFU units in poly(ETEFU‐co‐AA) and poly(ETEFU‐co‐VAc) were 20 and 17 mol%, respectively. The number‐average molecular weights of the synthesized polymers determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were 4,600 to 10,700 g mol⁻¹. In vitro cytotoxicities of samples were evaluated with cancer cell lines [mouse mammary carcinoma (FM3A), mouse leukemia (P388), and human histiocytic lymphoma (U937)] and a normal cell line [mouse liver cells (AC2F)]. Cytotoxicities of 5‐FU and synthesized samples against the cancer cell lines were ranked as follows: ETEFU > poly(ETEFU) > 5‐FU > poly(ETEFU‐co‐AA) > poly(ETEFU‐co‐VAc). The in vivo antitumor activities of poly(ETEFU) and poly(ETEFU‐co‐AA) against Balb/C mice bearing the sarcoma 180 tumor cells were greater than those of 5‐FU at all doses except for the activity of poly(ETEFU) at 0.8 mg/kg. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Low temperature suspension polymerization of vinyl acetate using 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) for the preparation of high molecular weight poly(vinyl alcohol) with high yield

 To obtain high molecular weight (HMW) poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) with high conversion and high linearity for a precursor of HMW poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), vinyl acetate (VAc) was suspension-poly-merized using a low-temperature initiator, 2,2′-azobis (2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile) (ADMVN), and the effects of polymerization conditions on the polymerization behavior and molecular structures of PVAc and PVA prepared by saponifying PVAc were investigated. On the whole, the experimental results well corres-ponded to the theoretically predicted tendencies. Suspension polymerization was slightly inferior to bulk polymerization in increasing molecular weight of PVA. In contrast, the former was absolutely superior to the latter in increasing conversion of the polymer, which indicated that the suspension polymerization rate of VAc was faster than the bulk one. These effects could be explained by a kinetic order of ADMVN concentration calculated by initial-rate method and an activation energy difference of polymerization obtained from the Arrhenius plot. Suspension polymerization at 30 °C by adopting ADMVN proved to be successful in obtaining PVA of HMW (number-average degree of polymerization (P _n)): (4200–5800) and of high yield (ultimate conversion of VAc into PVAc: 85–95%) with diminishing heat generated during polymerization. In the case of bulk polymerization of VAc at the same conditions, maximum P _n and conversion of 5200–6200 and 20–30% was obtained, respectively. The P _n, lightness, and syndiotacticity were higher with PVA prepared from PVAc polymerized at lower temperatures. Received: 10 February 1998 Accepted: 15 April 1998     

Syntheses,antitumor activities,and antiangiogenesis of exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl‐ 5‐fluorouracil and its polymers

A new monomer, exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl‐5‐fluorouracil (ETFU), was synthesized by the reaction of exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl chloride (ETPC) and 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). The homopolymer of ETFU and its copolymers with acrylic acid (AA) and vinyl acetate (VAc) were prepared via photopolymerizations with 2,2‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenylacetophenone at 25 °C for 48 h. The structures of the synthesized monomer and polymers were identified by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The ETFU contents in poly(ETFU‐co‐AA) and poly(ETFU‐co‐VAc) were 26 mol % and 26 mol %, respectively. The number‐average molecular weights of the polymers, as determined by gel permeation chromatography, ranged from 5600 to 17,000. The in vitro cytotoxicities of 5‐FU and the synthesized samples against mouse mammary carcinoma and human histiocytic lymphoma cancer cell lines increased in the following order: ETFU > 5‐FU > poly(ETFU‐co‐AA) > poly(ETFU) > poly(ETFU‐co‐VAc). The in vivo antitumor activities of the polymers against Balb/C mice bearing the sarcoma 180 tumor cells were greater than those of 5‐FU at all doses tested. The inhibitions of the samples for SV40 DNA replication and antiangiogenesis were much greater than the inhibition of the control. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Seleno‐containing poly(vinyl acetate) prepared by diselenocarbonates‐mediated controlled free radical polymerizations

The living free radical polymerizations of vinyl acetate (VAc) were successfully achieved in the presence of a novel organic selenium compound (diselenocarbonates), with 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. The living characteristics of the VAc polymerization were confirmed by the linear first‐order kinetic plots and linear increase of molecular weights (M_n) of the polymers with monomer conversions, while keeping the relatively low molecular weight distributions. In addition, the end of the polymers contains selenium element which may be useful in biotechnological and biomedical applications. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.
