RAFT Polymerization: Adding to the Picture

SUMMARY: Factors affecting the choice of RAFT agent [RSC(Z) = S] for a given polymerization are discussed. For polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), tertiary cyanoalkyl trithiocarbonates provide very good control over molecular weight and distribution and polymerizations show little retardation. The secondary trithiocarbonate RAFT agents with R = CHPh(CN) also gives good control but an inhibition period attributed to slow reinitiation is manifest. Radical induced reduction with hypophosphite salts provides a clean and convenient process for removal of thiocarbonylthio end groups of RAFT-synthesized polymers. Two methods providing simultaneous control over stereochemistry and molecular weight distribution of chains formed by radical polymerization are reported. Polymerization of MMA in the presence of scandium triflate provides a more isotactic PMMA. A similar RAFT polymerization with trithiocarbonate RAFT agents also provides control and avoids issues of RAFT agent instability seen with dithiobenzoate RAFT agents in the presence of Lewis acids. RAFT polymerization of tetramethylammonium methacrylate at 45 °C provides a more syndiotactic PMMA of controlled molecular weight and distribution (after methylation; mm:mr:rr 2:21:77 compared to 3:35:62 when formed by bulk polymerization of MMA).     

Macromolecular brushes synthesized by “grafting from” approach based on “click chemistry” and RAFT polymerization

Well‐defined macromolecular brushes with poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) side chains on random copolymer backbones were synthesized by “grafting from” approach based on click chemistry and reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. To prepare macromolecular brushes, two linear random copolymers of 2‐(trimethylsilyloxy)ethyl methacrylate (HEMA‐TMS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) (poly(MMA‐co‐HEMA‐TMS)) were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization and were subsequently derivated to azide‐containing polymers. Novel alkyne‐terminated RAFT chain transfer agent (CTA) was grafted to polymer backbones by copper‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition (azide‐alkyne click chemistry), and macro‐RAFT CTAs were obtained. PNIPAM side chains were prepared by RAFT polymerization. The macromolecular brushes have well‐defined structures, controlled molecular weights, and molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n ≦ 1.23). The RAFT polymerization of NIPAM exhibited pseudo‐first‐order kinetics and a linear molecular weight dependence on monomer conversion, and no detectable termination was observed in the polymerization. The macromolecular brushes can self‐assemble into micelles in aqueous solution. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 48: 443–453, 2010     

Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Microemulsion: The Influence of Reaction Conditions on Polymerization

The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant and a difunctional RAFT agent S,S′-bis (α, α′-dimethylacetic acid) trithiocarbonate (BDAT) as chain transfer were conducted in microemulsion. The influence of polymerization temperature and concentration of RAFT agent on the polymerization were investigated, respectively. The results showed that the molecular weight of products increased linearly with conversion, the polydispersity indexes remained low value, and the polymerization processes were totally under control with increasing concentration of RAFT agent, the polymerization behavior exhibited living polymerization characters. In addition, the influence of RAFT concentration on the particle size was investigated by TEM. The results indicated that the particles were highly monodispersed and the particle size increased with increasing concentration of RAFT agent.     

Carbazyl RAFT agents synthesized by an improved aqueous phase method and their applications in RAFT polymerization

A series of carbazyl dithiocarbamates as RAFT agents, i.e. benzyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (B), 1-phenylethyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (C), cumyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (D) and tert-butyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (E), were successfully synthesized by an improved aqueous phase method based on a nucleophilic substitution reaction between sodium carbazole-9-carbodithioate (A) and alkyl halides at room temperature. Furthermore, the optimum reaction conditions and synthetic technology were sought. Compared with the traditional oil-phase method, the expected high-purity RAFT agents were obtained in the form of crystal that was precipitated and separated from the aqueous solution, so that vast organic solvents for purification were avoided. The activities of the carbazyl dithiocarbamates obtained as RAFT agents for the polymerizations of both styrene and methyl methacrylate were determined. The results show that all of the RAFT agents above mentioned are of significant activity in the RAFT polymerization of styrene, but only D has obvious activity in the RAFT polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Therefore, both the novel synthetic method and the carbazyl dithiocarbamates obtained possess potential application in the RAFT polymerization.     

Synthesis of methacrylate derivatives oligomers by dithiobenzoate‐RAFT‐mediated polymerization

Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) was used to synthesize methacrylic acid oligomers and oligo(methacrylic acid)‐b‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMAA‐b‐PMMA) with targeted degree of polymerization ≈ 10. Characterization is by size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) and electrospray mass‐spectrometry. SEC data are presented as hydrodynamic volume distributions (HVDs), the only proper means to present comparative and meaningful SEC data when there is no unique relationship between size and molecular weight. The RAFT agent, (4‐cyanopentanoic acid)‐4‐dithiobenzoate (CPADB), produced dithiobenzoic acid as a side product during the polymerization of methacrylate derivatives. Precipitation in diethyl ether proved to be an easy way to remove this impurity from the PMAA‐RAFT oligomers. Both unpurified and purified macro‐RAFT agent were used to prepare amphiphilic PMAA‐b‐PMMA copolymers. Diblock copolymer prepared from the purified PMAA homopolymer had a narrower HVD in comparison to those obtained from the equivalent unpurified macro‐RAFT agent. This work shows that while cyanoisopropyl‐dithiobenzoate or CPADB are good RAFT agents for methacrylate derivatives, they exhibit some instability under typical polymerization conditions, and thus when oligomers are targeted, optimal control requires checking for the degradation product and appropriate purification steps when necessary (the same effect is present for larger polymers but is unimportant). © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of Stabilizer Concentration,Pressure and Temperature on Polymerization Rate and Molecular Weight Development in RAFT Polymerization of MMA in scCO2

Summary: An experimental study on the effect of stabilizer concentration, pressure (100 to 500 bar), and temperature (65 to 85 °C) on polymerization rate and molecular weight development in the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) is presented. AIBN was used as initiator, S-Thiobenzoyl thioglycolic acid as RAFT agent, and Krytox® 257 FSL as stabilizer. It was observed that the polymerization proceeded in a controlled manner. High conversions can be reached in reasonable times. Fairly low polydispersities (around 1.2) are possible if either pressure or temperature are increased, but better results are obtained if the polymerization proceeds at the upper temperature value of 85 °C.

In Situ Synthesis of Block Copolymer Nano-assemblies by Polymerization-induced Self-assembly under Heterogeneous Condition

Controlled synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymer nanoparticles in a convenient way is an important and interest topic in polymer science. In this review, three formulations of polymerization-induced self-assembly to in situ synthesize block copolymer nanoparticles are briefly introduced, which perform by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization under heterogeneous conditions, e.g., aqueous emulsion RAFT polymerization, dispersion RAFT polymerization and especially the recently proposed seeded RAFT polymerization. The latest developments in several selected areas on the synthesis of block copolymer nano-assemblies are highlighted.     

Perfluorocyclobutyl-containing Amphiphilic Block Copolymers Synthesized by RAFT Polymerization

Amphiphilic block copolymers containing hydrophobic perfluorocyclobutyl‐based (PFCB) polyacrylate and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments were prepared via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The PFCB‐containing acrylate monomer, p‐(2‐(p‐tolyloxy)perfluorocyclobutoxy)‐phenyl acrylate, was first synthesized from commercially available compounds in good yields, and this kind of acrylate monomer can be homopolymerized by free radical polymerization or RAFT polymerization. Kinetic study showed the 2,2′‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) initiated and cumyl dithiobenzoate (CDB) mediated RAFT polymerization was in a living fashion, as suggested by the fact that the number‐average molecular weights (M_n) increased linearly with the conversions of the monomer, while the polydispersity indices kept less than 1.10. The block polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n≦1.21) were prepared through RAFT polymerization using PEG monomethyl ether capped with 4‐cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate end group as the macro chain transfer agent (mPEG‐CTA). The length of the hydrophobic segment can be tuned by the feed ratio of the PFCB‐based acrylate monomer and the extending of the polymerization time. The micellization behavior of the block copolymers in aqueous media was investigated by the fluorescence probe technique.
