Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to determine the stereoregularity of radically polymerized poly(ethyl acrylates), poly(trimethylsilyl acrylates), and poly(isopropyl acrylate-α,β-d2). The ethyl acrylate polymers consisted of a random configuration having about 50% of isotactic diads, and their stereoregularities were independent of the polymerization temperature (40 to ?78°C). Poly(trimethylsilyl acrylates) and poly(isopropyl acrylate-α,β-d2) prepared at low temperatures had a syndiotactic configuration. Syndiotactic poly(methyl acrylate) was derived from syndiotactic poly(trimethylsilyl acrylate). For poly(methyl acrylate), an approximate estimation of the stereoregularity by infrared spectroscopy was proposed. 相似文献
The stereoregularity of poly(methyl acrylate) and poly(methyl acrylate-αd) was determined from the NMR spectra. A method of quantitative determination of stereoregularity of poly(methyl acrylate) proposed in this paper is based on the fact that in the 100 Mc./sec. NMR spectrum the absorption peaks due to methylene protons in syndiotactic configurations overlap absorptions due to only one of two methylene protons in isotactic configurations. The stereostructure of poly(methy1 acrylates) polymerized with anionic catalysts such as Grignard reagents, n-butyllithium, and LiAlH4 is generally richer in isotactic diads than in syndiotactic diads. For example, poly(methyl acrylate) polymerized with phenylmagnesium bromide as catalyst at ?20°C. consists of 99% isotactic and 1% syndiotactic diads. In radical polymerization, the isotacticity of poly(methyl acrylate) is independent of polymerization temperature. Poly(methyl acrylates) polymerized with a Ziegler-Natta catalyst consisting of Al(C2H5)2Cl and VCl4 have configurations similar to those polymerized by radical initiators. The stereoregularity of poly(methyl acrylate-α-d) resembled that of poly(methyl acrylate) polymerized under the same conditions. 相似文献
The atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of acrylates in 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was investigated. The solubility of the acrylates in the ionic liquid depends on the substituent. The homogeneous polymerization of methyl acrylate gives polymers with M̄n close to the calculated value and relatively narrow polydispersity. In heterogeneous polymerizations of higher acrylates, with the catalyst present in the ionic liquid phase, deviations from ideal behavior are observed although the polymerization of butyl acrylate approaches the conditions of a controlled polymerization. 相似文献
ABSTRACT The synthesis of block copolymers containing low molar mass polypropylene and poly(meth)acrylates is reported. Vinyl-terminated polypropylene (Mn SEC=3,100; Mw/Mn=1.45) was used to prepare a macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) via hydrosilation with 1-(2-bromoisobutyryloxy)propyl-tetramethyldisiloxane. Polar segments were then incorporated to polypropylene by chain extension using either methyl methacrylate, or n-butyl acrylate. While blocking efficiency was limited in this system, well-defined PP-b-PMMA (Mn=22,220; Mw/Mn=1.14) was obtained by extraction of unreacted polypropylene with diethyl ether. 相似文献
Relative reactivity ratios have been determined for o-chlorostyrene with five lower acrylates and methacrylates, respectively, and for methyl acrylate with a number of substituted styrenes in free-radical copolymerization. Analysis of the data shows that: (a) acrylates are less reactive than methacrylates with o-chlorostyrene; (b) length of the side chain has little or no effect in methacrylates, but its effect is pronounced in acrylates with respect to their reactivity ratios; (c) chlorine substitution in the side chain of either acrylates or methacrylates has a significant influence on the reactivity ratio; (d) relative reactivity ratio data for methyl acrylate with substituted styrenes fail to show the expected relationship between monomer structure and resonance theory, inductive effect and, consequently, the Hammett σ values. 相似文献
Preparation, purification, and stabilization of functional (meth)acrylates with a high dipole moment are complex, laborious, and expensive processes. In order to avoid purification and stabilization of the highly reactive functional monomers, a concept of cascade reactions was developed comprising enzymatic monomer synthesis and radical polymerization. Transacylation of methyl acrylate (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) with different functional alcohols, diols, and triols (1,2,6‐hexanetriol and glycerol) in the presence of Novozyme 435 led to functional (meth)acrylates. After the removal of the enzyme by means of filtration, removal of excess (meth)acrylate and/or addition of a new monomer, e.g., 2‐hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate the (co)polymerization via free radical (FRP) or nitroxide mediated radical polymerization (NMP) resulted in poly[(meth)acrylate]s with predefined functionalities. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic as well as ionic repeating units were assembled within the copolymer. The transacylation of MA and MMA with diols and triols carried out under mild conditions is an easy and rapid process and is suitable for the preparation of sensitive monomers.
The influence of side-chain crystallinity on the glass transition temperatures of selected copolymers was investigated. The copolymers were selected, in part, from those whose crystallinity was treated in the preceding paper. These included the lower amorphous acrylate esters, such as methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylates, together with methyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile, each copolymerized with n-octadecyl acrylate over the range of composition. The decline in the glass transition temperature was linear with increasing weight fraction of n-octadecyl acrylate for all systems in the composition range where the copolymers were essentially amorphous. The extrapolated Tg for the amorphous state of poly(n-octadecyl acrylate), and for amorphous poly(oleyl acrylate), was close to ?111°C. This coincided with a value previously obtained by an extrapolation of data on homologs. Beyond a critical fraction of octadecyl acrylate (0.3 to 0.5), developing side-chain crystallinity in n-octadecyl acrylate raised the glass temperature steadily for all systems, up to a value of 17-C, obtained for the crystalline homopolymer. Crystallinity did not develop in stiff copolymers until Tg was about 30°C below the melting point of the most perfect crystals. In compositionally heterogeneous copolymers incorporating vinyl stearate, blocks of crystalline units appeared to be dispersed in a glassy matrix of amorphous co-units. An empirical equation was derived which fitted the experimental data for random copolymers, over all composition ranges, with fair accuracy. 相似文献
Head-to-head poly(methyl acrylate) was prepared by esterification of the known alternating copolymer of ethylene and maleic anhydride. Some of the chemical,physical, and mechanical properties and the thermal degradation behavior of head-to-head poly(methyl acrylate) were studied and compared with those of head-to-tail poly(methyl acrylate). The Tg of the head-to-head polymer was higher than that of the head-to-tail polymer, but the solubilities of both types of polymers of comparable molecular weight were similar. Head-to-head poly(methyl acrylate) degraded thermally at approximately the same temperature and with a rate similar to head-to-tail poly(methyl acrylate). Unlike poly(methyl cinnamates) which cleanly degraded to monomers, poly(methyl acrylates), head-to-head and head-to-tail, degrade to very small molecules, such as CO2, methanol, but also larger polymer fragments and char. Trace amounts of monomers (methyl acrylate) were also observed. 相似文献
It is the first time that a chemoselective EtPPh2-catalyzed three-component reaction of aromatic aldehyde, alkyl acrylate, and phthalimide or methyl toluenesulfonamide has been achieved. A variety of highly functional adducts can be generated efficiently in one step within 1-72 h in 38-93% yields. The reaction mechanism is proposed to undergo Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of aryl-substituted aldehydes and alkyl acrylates followed by Michael additions of amides. Our studies indicated that, in combination of EtPPh2, alkyl acrylate also catalyzed this process. 相似文献
Insertion of CO2 into the polyacrylate backbone, forming poly(carbonate) analogues, provides an environmentally friendly and biocompatible alternative. The synthesis of five poly(carbonate) analogues of poly(methyl acrylate), poly(ethyl acrylate), and poly(butyl acrylate) is described. The polymers are prepared using the salen cobalt(III) complex catalyzed copolymerization of CO2 and a derivatized oxirane. All the carbonate analogues possess higher glass‐transition temperatures (Tg=32 to ?5 °C) than alkyl acrylates (Tg=10 to ?50 °C), however, the carbonate analogues (Td≈230 °C) undergo thermal decomposition at lower temperatures than their acrylate counterparts (Td≈380 °C). The poly(alkyl carbonates) exhibit compositional‐dependent adhesivity. The poly(carbonate) analogues degrade into glycerol, alcohol, and CO2 in a time‐ and pH‐dependent manner with the rate of degradation accelerated at higher pH conditions, in contrast to poly(acrylate)s. 相似文献
Up to date, problems exist with the determination of kp values with respect to acrylates. The pulsed laser polymerization (PLP) data published so far only give consistent values of kp for temperatures below 30°C for acrylates. Recently, new insights in acrylate reactions seem to offer a plausible explanation for the failure of the pulsed initiation polymerization (PIP) experiment for acrylates that will be discussed here. 相似文献
Vinylidene chloride polymers containing comonomer
units capable of consuming evolved hydrogen chloride to expose good radical-scavenging
sites might be expected to display greater thermal stability than similar
polymers containing simple alkyl acrylates as comonomer. Incorporation of
a comonomer containing the phenyl t-butyl
carbonate moiety into a vinylidene chloride polymer has the potential to afford
a polymer with pendant groups which might interact with hydrogen chloride
to expose phenolic groups. Copolymers of vinylidene chloride with [4-(t-butoxycarbonyloxy)phenyl]methyl acrylate have been
prepared, characterized, and subjected to thermal degradation. The degradation
has been characterized by thermal and spectroscopic techniques. The degradation
of vinylidene chloride/[4-(t-butoxycarbonyloxy)phenyl]methyl
acrylate copolymers is much more facile than the same process for similar
copolymers containing either [4-(isobutoxycarbonyloxy)phenyl]methyl acrylate
or methyl acrylate, a simple alkyl acrylate, as comonomer. During copolymer
degradation, [4-(t-butoxycarbonyloxy) phenylmethyl
acrylate units are apparently converted to acrylic acid units by extensive
fragmentation of the sidechain. Thus, the phenyl t-butyl
carbonate moiety does function as a labile acid-sensitive pendant group but
its decomposition in this instance leads to the generation of a phenoxybenzyl
carboxylate capable of further fragmentation. 相似文献
