Using the new in–in method for the synthesis of polyisoprene/polystyrene heteroarm star polymers

The basis of the two‐step in–in method is as follows: star polymers with poly(divinyl benzene) cores, synthesized by the arm‐first method, include many unreacted double bonds in their core, and these double bonds can be attacked by the carbanions of some monomers such as styrene and dienes. In this work, linear polyisoprene chains were used to attack the double bonds existing in the poly(divinyl benzene) cores of polystyrene star polymers, so that a heteroarm star polymer with polystyrene and polyisoprene arms was synthesized. It was later well characterized with size exclusion chromatography, light scattering, viscometry, UV spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, and ¹H NMR. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies on Mechanism of Grafting of Polystyrene on Elastomer Backbone

The mechanism of grafting of polystyrene on a polybutadiene (PB) backbone during the preparation of impact-resistant polystyrene was studied by withdrawing samples during propolym-erization from beginning of the reaction to about 25% conversion. Good separation of the “elastomer and graft” fraction of the polymer from the free polystyrene part could be achieved by using 0.24 volume fraction of methanol in (MEK + benzene) + methanol solvent-nonsolvent. IR analysis of the grafted fraction showed that the microstructure of the elastomer remained unaltered. The unsaturation of the samples studied through the bromine number as well as by the perbenzoic acid number was also found to remain unchanged. Formation of free polystyrene started with the onset of polymerization and was faster. During prepolymerization, 80% of styrene converted constantly to form free polystyrene and 20% went into the grafted polymer. The results indicate that grafting is initiated through proton abstraction at the α-carbon of butadiene, most probably by initiator radicals. The grafted polystyrene chains possibly are shorter than free polystyrene chains.     

A SLOW RELAXATION MODE OF POLYMER CHAINS IN A SEMIDILUTE SOLUTION

Dust-free semidilute and concentrated polystyrene(PS)solutions in different solvents were prepared by slow evaporation and in situ anionic polymerization,which removes the effects of troublesome artifacts such as dust contamination and concentration gradient.The dynamics was reexamined by a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering.In benzene and toluene(good solvents for PS),only one fast diffusive mode of polymer chains can be observed when the concentration(c)is up to 20%,which is attri...     

Structural properties of atactic polystyrene adsorbed onto solid surfaces

In the present work, we are studying the local conformation of chains in a thin film of polystyrene adsorbed on a solid substrate by using atomistically detailed simulations. The simulations are carried out by using the readily available and massively parallel molecular dynamics code known as LAMMPS. In particular, a special emphasis is given to the density and orientation of side chains (which consist of phenyl groups and methylene units) at solid/polymer and polymer/vacuum interfaces. Three types of substrates were used in our study: α-quartz, graphite, and amorphous silica. Our investigation was restricted to atactic polystyrene. Our results show that the density and structural properties of side chains depend on the type of surface. An excess of phenyl rings is observed near the α-quartz substrate while the film adsorbed on graphite is depleted in C(6)H(5). Moreover, the orientation of the rings and methylene units on the substrate/film interface show a strong dependence on the type of the substrate, while the rings at the film/vacuum interface show a marked tendency to point outward, away from the film. The results we obtained are in a large part in good agreement with previous experimental and simulation results.     

Effect of preparation conditions on properties of polylactide and polystyrene and their composite microparticles made by emulsion solvent evaporation method

In this study, polylactide and polystyrene microparticles have been prepared by emulsion solvent evaporation method. Effects of polymer nature, stirring speed, emulsifier, and concentration of the components on the size, size distribution and morphology of polymeric microparticles have been investigated. 11-Acryloyl-aminoundecanoic acid and its polymer poly(11-acryloyl-aminoundecanoic acid) were tested for comparison with traditional emulsifiers such as sodium dodecylsulfate. Interfacial tension measurement was applied to compare these emulsifiers. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze microparticles. Polylactide/polystyrene composite microparticles have been prepared as well; their surface morphology has been studied.     

Structure–property relationship of octa‐substituted POSS in thermal and mechanical reinforcements of conventional polymers

In this article, we describe the structure–property relationships between the polyoctahedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) fillers and the thermomechanical properties of the polymer composites using polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), and ethylene‐(vinyl acetate) copolymer. We used eight kinds of octa‐substituted aliphatic and aromatic POSS as a filler, and homogeneous polymer composites were prepared with various concentrations of these POSS fillers. From a series of measurements of thermal and mechanical properties of the polymer composites, it was summarized that the longer alkyl chains and unsaturated bonds at the side chains in POSS are favorable to improve the thermal stability and the elasticity of polymer matrices. It was found that phenyl‐POSS can show superior ability to improve the thermomechanical properties of conventional polymers used in this study. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Luminescent groups in very weakly degraded polystyrene

Unstabilized polystyrene samples from various producers, as well as carefully purified laboratory polymers, have been investigated by u.v.-absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence and i.r. spectroscopy. The emission spectra of all samples indicate fluorescent and phosphorescent chromophores. In u.v.-absorption, the chromophores give rise to a long wavelength tail below the absorption edge of the phenyl groups. The phosphorescence spectrum is due to acetophenone-type end-groups of degraded polymer chains. Ultra-violet-fluorescence is due to monomeric styrene and trans-stilbene groups which probably can be formed at head-to-head sites of the polymer. Fluorescence in the blue spectral region may be due to chromophores formed by conjugated double bonds and phenyl groups. The chromophores are present in all commercial samples investigated and, at smaller concentrations, in the laboratory products also.     

The reactive chemisorption of alkyl iodides at Cu(110) and Ag(111) surfaces: a combined STM and XPS study

The chemisorption of methyl and phenyl iodide has been studied at Cu(110) and Ag(111) surfaces at 290 K with STM and XPS. At both surfaces dissociative adsorption of both molecules leads to chemisorbed iodine, with the STM showing c(2 x 2) and (square root 3 x square root 3)R30 structures at the Cu(110) and Ag(111) surfaces, respectively. At the Cu(110) surface a comparison of coexisting c(2 x 2) I(a) and p(2 x 1) O(a) domains shows the iodine adatoms to be chemisorbed in hollow sites with evidence at low coverage for diffusion in the (110) direction. In the case of methyl iodide no carbon adsorption is observed at either the silver or the copper surfaces, but chemisorbed phenyl groups are imaged at the Cu(110) surface after exposure to phenyl iodide. The STM images show the phenyl groups as bright features approximately 0.7 nm in diameter and 0.11 nm above the iodine adlayer, reaching a maximum surface concentration after approximately 6 Langmuir exposure. However, the phenyl coverage decreases with subsequent exposures to PhI and is negligible by approximately 1000 L exposure, consistent with the formation and desorption of biphenyl. The adsorbed phenyls are located above hollow sites in the substrate, they are stabilized at the top and bottom of step edges and in paired chains (1.1 nm apart) on the terraces with a regular interphenyl spacing within the chains of 1.0 nm in the (110) direction. The interphenyl ring spacing and diffusion of individual phenyls from within the chains shows that the chains do not consist of biphenyl species but may be a precursor to their formation. Although the XPS data shows carbon present at the Ag(111) surface after exposure to PhI, no features attributable to phenyl groups were observed by STM.     

On the clathrate structures of syndiotactic poly(m-methylstyrene)

The crystal structures of clathrate forms of syndiotactic poly(m-methylstyrene) containing guest molecules having different steric hindrance (CS₂, benzene and orto-dichlorobenzene) are presented. The structures are all characterized by polymer chains in s (2/1)2 helical conformation and guest molecules packed in an orthorhombic unit cell according to the space group Pcaa. All the presented clathrates belongs to β class indipendently from the dimensions of the guest molecule. In this aspect they differ both from clathrate forms of syndiotactic polystyrene, all belonging to α class, and from clathrate forms of syndiotactic poly(p-methylstyrene) that belong to α or β class according to the steric hindrance of the guest molecule.
