Preparation of narrow or monodisperse poly(ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) microspheres by distillation-precipitation polymerization

Highly crosslinked narrow or monodisperse poly(ethyleneglycol dimethacryltae) (polyEGDMA) microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization in neat acetonitrile with 2,2′-azobis(2-methyl propinitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. The polymer microspheres with clean surfaces due to the absence of any added stabilizer in the reaction system were formed simultaneously through a precipitation manner during the distillation of acetonitrile off the reaction system. The effects of the solvent, initiator concentration, monomer concentration and comonomer (divinylbenzene, DVB) fraction on the formation of the microspheres were investigated. Narrow- or monodisperse particles with spherical shape and smooth surface were obtained with diameters between 1.18 and 2.50 μm with monomer loading lower than 3.13 vol%. The surfaces of the microspheres became rougher, some elliptic particles and doublet or triplet appeared with the increase of monomer concentration (as high as 3.75 vol%). The yield of polymer microspheres was increased from 31% to 75% with the increase of EGDMA fraction from 0 to 100% when EGDMA was copolymerized with DVB. The resulting polymer microspheres were characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform-IR spectra.     

Precipitation polymerization in acetonitrile and 1‐propanol mixture: synthesis of monodisperse poly(styrene‐co‐divinylbenzene) microspheres with clean and smooth surface

Precipitation polymerization of styrene (St)–divinylbenzene (DVB) has been carried out using acetonitrile/1‐propanol mixture as the reaction media and 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Monodisperse micron‐sized poly(St‐co‐DVB) microspheres with clean and smooth surface were synthesized in the absence of any stabilizing agent such as surfactants or steric stabilizers. The effects of various polymerization parameters such as 1‐propanol fraction in the reaction media, initiator and total monomer concentration, DVB content, polymerization time and polymerization temperature on the morphology, particle size and size distribution were investigated. It was found that smoothly shaped stable particles were obtained when less than 70 vol% of 1‐propanol was used in the media. The particle size increased with the AIBN concentration, whereas the change of uniformity was less obvious. Monodisperse microspheres were obtained when the total monomers loading ranged from 0.5 to 3 vol%. The particle diameter ranged from 2.73 to 1.87 µm with an increasing DVB content and the uniformity was enhanced. In addition, the yield of microspheres increased with the increasing total monomer, initiator, and DVB concentration and polymerization time. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of monodisperse poly(methacrylic acid) microspheres by distillation-precipitation polymerization

Monodisperse poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization in acetonitrile with 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The polymeric microspheres were formed simultaneously via a precipitation polymerization manner during the distillation of the solvent out of the reaction system in the absence of any surfactant and crosslinker. Monodisperse PMAA microspheres with spherical shape and smooth surface were synthesized with diameters ranging from 60 to 290 nm below the glass transition temperature of PMAA without any stabilizer. The particle size increased with increasing monomer concentration, which may be resulted from the higher molecular weight for the polymerization. To investigate the growth procedure of PMAA microspheres, the morphology of microspheres over the distillated acetonitrile volume was conducted by monitoring the morphologies with TEM. GPC and FTIR provide key insights into the particle growth mechanism. The PMAA microspheres may be formed by an internal contraction due to the marginal solvency of the continuous phase with the aid of the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the carboxylic acid unit, in which the particles were stabilized by the steric effect of the pendent chains and surface gel as well as the electrostatic repulsion from the carboxylic acid group.     

Stabilizer-free precipitation copolymerization of renewable bio-based α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone and styrene

Stabilizer-free precipitation copolymerization of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MBL) and styrene (St) was carried out in isoamyl acetate with BPO as initiator at 80°C. The influence of monomer feed ratio, initiator concentration and reaction time on the size and morphology of the obtained polymer particle was investigated in details. It was found that the monomer feed ratio play an important role on the particle formation process. When the monomer feed ratio of MBL to St was 1:2, narrow size distributed spherical polymer particles were formed with number average diameters in the range of 785–2620 nm. The formation process of polymer particle was studied to get a deep insight into the polymerization process of this reaction system. It was found that the formation mechanism of the poly(MBL-co-St) particles was similar to that of conventional precipitation polymerization. After a short nucleation stage (10 min), the amount of polymer particles remained constant and the particle growth mainly came from the capturing of newly formed polymer chains. The chemical composition and thermal property of the poly(MBL-co-St) were fully characterized by FTIR, ¹H-NMR spectra, and DSC.

Effect of the polymerization parameters on the morphology and spherical particle size of poly(styrene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-divinylbenzene) prepared by precipitation polymerization

Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) microspheres having a diameter range of 3.0–4.5 µm were synthesized by precipitation polymerization under various conditions, then the effects of the polymerization parameters such as monomer and initiator concentration, and used cosolvents on the characteristics of the final particles were compared with those in dispersion polymerization. It was found that precipitation polymerization is more sensitive to polymerization conditions than dispersion polymerization, and that precise control of polymerization parameters is therefore essential for individually stable spherical particles. Monomer and initiator concentration, and the use of cosolvents significantly vary the morphology and the size of the final particles. However, the uniformity of the microspheres is not greatly affected by the polymerization parameters.

Synthesis of monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres

Highly crosslinked monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres were produced by precipitation polymerization with acetonitrile as solvent. The radical initiators AIBN, BPO, and ADVN were used. The process does not require stabilizers of any type, and produces monodisperse particles with diameters between 2 and 5 μm, depending on the conditions. These microspheres do not swell or dissolve in any common solvent, and have clean, stabilizer-free surfaces. The particle formation and growth mechanism is proposed to resemble that of dispersion polymerization, except that the particles are stabilized against coagulation by their rigid, crosslinked surfaces rather than by added stabilizers. Spherical particles were formed only at effective crosslinker/monomer or divinyl/monovinyl ratios larger than 1 : 2. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Monodisperse Crosslinked Microsphere Polymer Particles by Dispersion Copolymerization of Glycidyl Methacrylate and Divinylbenzene

Monodisperse polyglycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) microsphere particles crosslinked with divinylbenzene crosslinker were prepared by single-stage dispersion copolymerization in ethanol medium. 1 wt% of DVB was successfully incorporated due to the costabilizing effect of GMA as a surface-active monomer. This behavior may indicate that the fast formation of stable primary particle leads to monodispersity. The average particle sizes and the particle size distributions increased with the DVB crosslinker concentration. The effects of two different variables (initiator concentration, crosslinker concentration) on the rate of dispersion copolymerization have been investigated. With the initiator concentration, the polymerization procedure mainly depended on the dual natures of general dispersion polymerization, in the crosslinked state. Up to 1 wt% DVB, the particle growth was controlled by the monomer diffusion from the continuous phase into the particle phase.     

Narrow-disperse Highly Cross-linked “Living” Polymer Microspheres by Two-stage Precipitation Polymerization

Narrow-disperse, surface-functionalized "living" polymer microspheres with uniformly cross-linked structures were prepared by two-stage precipitation copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene. The two-stage precipitation polymerization is composed of an initial conventional precipitation polymerization for the nucleation followed by a reverse atom transfer radical polymerization(reverse ATRP) for the controlled polymerization process. The polymerization parameters(including reaction time for the first stage, AIBN amount and monomer loading) have been studied to show significant influences on the morphologies. Moreover, narrower size distribution and an ATRP initiator-functional surface of resulting particles can be obtained by applying reverse ATRP to conventional precipitation polymerization in the second stage. Furthermore, the "livingness" of the resulting polymer microspheres was testified by their surface modification of poly[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate](PDMAEMA) brushes via surface-initiated ATRP(SI-ATRP).     

Preparation of monodisperse poly(St‐co‐PETEA) microspheres by precipitation polymerization using ethanol as solvent

Precipitation polymerization of styrene (St) was carried out with pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETEA) to produce monodisperse crosslinked microspheres. A much safer ethanol replaced acetonitrile as a solvent in precipitation polymerization of monodisperse crosslinked poly(St‐co‐PETEA) microspheres. Monodisperse crosslinked microspheres with high monomer conversion were achieved within 4 hr. Uniform and well‐separated monodisperse were obtained in ethanol when PETEA concentration varied from 30 vol% to 90 vol% and the particle diameter decreased from 0.75 to 0.58 µm. The particle yield increased from 36.51 to 64.38% by increase in the initiator loading from 1 to 8 wt%. No coagulum occurred between particles when the polymerization time varied from 2 to 10 hr.

Chromatographic performance of molecularly imprinted polymers: Core‐shell microspheres by precipitation polymerization and grafted MIP films via iniferter‐modified silica beads

In this work, two different surface imprinting formats have been evaluated using thiabendazole (TBZ) as model template. The first format is a thin film of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) grafted from preformed silica particles using an immobilized iniferter‐type initiator (inif‐MIP). The second format is molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres with narrow particle size distribution and core‐shell morphology prepared by precipitation polymerization in a two‐step procedure. For the latter format, polymer microspheres (the core particles) were obtained by precipitation polymerization of divinylbenzene‐80 (DVB‐80) in acetonitrile. Thereafter, the core particles were used as seed particles in the synthesis of MIP shells by copolymerization of DVB‐80 and methacrylic acid in the presence of TBZ in a mixed solvent porogen (acetonitrile/toluene). The materials were characterized by elemental microanalysis, nitrogen sorption porosimetry and scanning (and transmission) electron microscopy. Thereafter, the imprinted materials were assessed as stationary phases in liquid chromatography. From this study it can be concluded that grafted MIP beads can be obtained in a simple and direct manner, consuming only a fraction of the reagents used typically to prepare imprinted particles from a monolithic imprinted polymer. Such materials can be used in the development of in‐line molecularly imprinted solid‐phase extraction methods. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 48: 1058–1066, 2010

Fabrication and superhydrophobic behavior of fluorinated microspheres

We describe the preparation of fluorinated microspheres by precipitation polymerization and their use to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces. For that purpose, two different approaches have been employed. In the first approach, a fluorinated monomer (either 4-fluorostyrene or 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene) was added to the initial mixture of monomers constituted by styrene (S) and divinylbenzene (DVB). The second approach is based on the encapsulation of a block copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene), during the polymerization of the monomers (S and DVB), thus enabling the formation of particles with perfluorinated chains instead of single functional groups at the interface. Both approaches led to narrow polydisperse particles with fluoro-functional groups at the interface as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface array of particles obtained by simple solvent casting presented superhydrophobic behavior with contact angles of water droplets of ca. 160-165°.     

Synthesis of well‐defined hairy polymer microspheres by precipitation polymerization and surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization

A variety of polymer microspheres were successfully synthesized by the surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP) of monomers by using monodisperse polymer microsphere having benzyl halide moiety as a multifunctional polymeric initiator. First, a series of monodisperse polymer microsphere having benzyl chloride with variable monomer ratio (P(St‐DVB‐VBC)) were synthesized by the precipitation polymerization of styrene (St), divinylbenzene (DVB), and 4‐vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC). Next, hairy polymer microspheres were synthesized by the surface‐initiated ATRP of various monomers with P(St‐DVB‐VBC) microsphere as a multifunctional polymeric initiator. The hair length determined by the SEC analysis of free polymer was increased with the increase of M/I. These hairy polymer microspheres were characterized by SEM, FT‐IR, and Cl content measurements. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019 © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of secondary‐amine‐functional microparticles

Secondary‐amine‐functional microparticles were prepared in the range of 50–250 μm through the suspension polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), and 2‐(tert‐butylamino)ethyl methacrylate (tBAEMA). This study focused on the effects of the DVB, tBAEMA, initiator, and stabilizer concentrations and shaking rate on the experimental amine content, swelling ratio, average particle size, and particle size distribution. The suspension polymerization experiments were carried out in two different systems. In the first system, an organic phase, including the monomers and initiator, was dispersed in an aqueous medium in the presence of Al₂(SO₄)₃. Al₂(SO₄)₃, in the presence of an amine monomer (pH ～ 10), formed colloidal Al(OH)₃, which built a nonsticky layer on the surface of the polymerizing droplets that prevented them from coalescing and aggregating. Individual and spherical particles within the range of 50–200 μm were obtained by this polymerization method. The second method was similar to the first polymerization protocol, except that a certain amount of sodium dodecyl sulfate was added as a costabilizer in the presence of Al₂(SO₄)₃. In these experiments, individual and spherical particles were obtained within the range of 130–250 μm. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem: 3708–3719, 2004
