Reverse iodine transfer polymerization (RITP) is a new controlled radical polymerization technique based on the use of molecular iodine I2 as control agent. This paper aims at presenting the basics of RITP and the strategy that we have followed for the development of this process in the past three years, from the validation in homogeneous solution polymerization up to recent results in heterogeneous aqueous polymerization processes. Typical examples of RITP of butyl acrylate in emulsion and RITP of styrene in miniemulsion are discussed. 相似文献
A route of synthesizing triblock terpolymers in a one‐pot, “one‐step” polymerization approach is presented. The combination of two distinct polymerization techniques through orthogonal catalyst/initiator functionalities attached to a polymeric linker furnishes novel pathways to ABC‐terpolymers. Both polymerizations have to be compatible regarding mechanisms, chosen monomers, and solvents. Here, an α,ω‐heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) serves as polymeric catalyst/initiator to obtain triblock terpolymers of poly(norbornene)‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(l ‐lactic acid) PNB‐PEG‐PLLA via simultaneous ring opening metathesis polymerization and ring opening polymerization in a fast one‐pot polymerization. Structural characterization of the polymers is provided via 1H‐, DOSY‐, and 1H,1H‐COSY‐NMR, while solution and thin film self‐assembly are investigated by dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy.
In this work, the synthesis of various halogenated thiophenol derivatives is presented. These thiophenols are used as monomers in light‐initiated SRN1‐type radical polymerization reactions. The method provides easy access to industrially relevant poly(paraphenylene sulfide) and poly(metaphenylene sulfide). The influence of the halide leaving group and of other substituents in the thiophenol monomer on the polymerization process is investigated.
The polymerization of 3-benzyl-3-ethyl 2-oxetanones leads to three types of polymers: polyRS (enantiomer excess,ee=0), polyR or polyS (Ree >See) and polyracemate. All these polymers are crystalline and the thermal properties (Tg, meltingTM and HM) depend mainly on theee of the polymer. The propagation of the polymerization is not stereospecific. The use of heating-cooling cycles leads to a pure crystalline form melting at the highest temperature. The polyracemate has the behaviour of a pure polymer which melts at a lower temperature, a prolonged heating in the melt induces a strong racemization.
Zusammenfassung Die Polymerisation von 3-benzyl-3-ethyl 2-oxetanon führt zu drei Polymer Typen: PolyRS (überschuss des Enantiomers,EE=0), PolyR oder PolyS (REE > SEE) und Polyracemate. Alle Polymere sind kristallin und die thermischen Eigenschaften (Tg, SchmelzeTM und HM) hängen wesentlich vonEE des Polymers ab. Die Fortpflanzung der Polymerisation ist nicht stereospeeifisch. Die Verwendung von Aufheitzen Abkühl Zyklen führt zu einer reinen kristallinen Form, die bei der höchsten Temperatur schmilzt. Das Polyracemat verhält sich wie ein reines Polymer, das bei niedrigeren Temperatur schmilzt; es racemisiert im Laufe einer verlängerten Erhitzung im Schemlzfluss.
Tetradentate amine–bis(phenolate) iron(III) halide complexes containing chloro substituents on the aromatic ring are extremely efficient catalysts for controlled radical polymerization. Molecular weights are in good agreement with theoretical values and polydispersity indexes (PDIs) are as low as 1.11 for styrene and methyl methacrylate polymerizations. Complexes containing alkyl substituents on the aromatic ring are less efficient. Kinetic data reveal activity for styrene polymerization among the fastest reported to date and initial studies implicate a multimechanism system. Despite the highly colored polymerization media, simple work‐up procedures yield pure white polymers. 相似文献
