The aqueous polymerization of methyl methacrylate intiated by copper polypropylene-based poly(oxime-imidodiacetate)(P-Cu)-sodium sulfite system has been investigated.The overall rate of polymerization(Rp) was found to be Rp=5.8×10^12e^-84.1KJ/RT[MMA]^1.4[P-Cu]^0[Na2SO3]^0.50 A mechanism of “coordination-proton transfer”for the production of initiating species was proposed and discussed.     

KINETICS OF SUSPENDED EMULSION POLYMERIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE

The kinetics of suspended emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), in which water acted as the dispersed phase and the mixture of MMA and cyclohexane as the continuous phase, was investigated. It showed that the initial polymerization rate (Rp0) and steady-state polymerization rate (Rp) were proportional to the mass ratio between water and oil phase, and increased as the polymerization temperature, the potassium persulphate concentration ([I]) and the Tween20 emulsifier concentration ([S]) increased. The relationships between the polymerization rate and [I] and [S] were obtained as follows: Rp0 ∝ [I]0.73[S]0.32 and Rp ∝ [I]0.71[S]0.23. The above exponents were close to those obtained from normal MMA emulsion polymerization. It also showed that the average molecular weight of the resulting poly(methyl methacrylate) decreased as the polymerization temperature, [I] and [S] increased. Thus, MMA suspended emulsion polymerization could be considered as a combination of many miniature emulsion polymerizations proceeding in water drops and obeyed the classical kinetics of MMA emulsion polymerization.     

Kinetics and Mechanism of the Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in a Y(acac)3/n-BuMgCl System

Based on the kinetics equation proposed by T. Kagiya, the kinetic study on the polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) by Y(acac)3/n-BuMgCl was carried out with a dilatometer. It was found that the rate of propagation is the first order with respect to the concentration of both active center and monomer. Thus, the equation of propagation rate can be described as Rp=Kp[c*][M]. In addition, the instantaneous chain initiation and single molecular termination were concluded for the present system. The activation energy is close to 32 kJ/mol. In the polymerization, n-BuMgCl acts not only as the cocatalyst, but also as chain transfer agent with cI=3.6×10-4.     

SYNTHESIS AND POLYMERIZATION KINETICS OF 1-BROMOMETHYL-7,7-DIMETHYLBICYCLO[2.2.1]HEPT-2-YL ACRYLATE

Synthesis of pH-responsive amphiphilic diblock copolymers containing polyisobutylene via oxyanion-initiated polymerization and their multiple self-assembly morphologies

 Two pH-responsive amphiphilic diblock copolymers, namely polyisobutylene-block-poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PIB-b-PDMAEMA) and polyisobutylene-block-poly(metharylic acid) (PIB-b-PMAA), were synthesized via oxyanion-initiated polymerization, and their multiple self-assembly behaviors have been studied. An exo-olefin-terminated highly reactive polyisobutylene (HRPIB) was first changed to hydroxyl-terminated PIB (PIB-OH) via hydroboration-oxidation of C＝C double bond in the chain end, and then reacted with KH to yield a potassium alcoholate of PIB (PIB-O^-K⁺). PIB-O^-K⁺ was immediately used as a macroinitiator to polymerize DMAEMA monomer, resulting in a cationic diblock copolymer PIB-b-PDMAEMA. With the similar synthesis procedure, the anionic diblock copolymer PIB-b-PMAA could be prepared via a combination of oxyanion-initiated polymerization of tert-butyl methacrylate (tBMA) and subsequent hydrolysis of tert-butyl ester groups in PtBMA block. The functional PIB and block copolymers have been fully characterized by ¹H-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). These samples allowed us to systematically investigate the effects of block composition on the pH responsivity and various self-assembled morphologies of the copolymers in THF/water mixed solvent. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that these diblock copolymers containing small amount of original PIB without exo-olefin-terminated group are able to self-assemble into micelles, vesicles with different particle sizes and cylindrical aggregates, depending on various factors including block copolymer composition, solvent polarity and pH value.

金属离子与卟啉的嵌入反应动力学研究——邻苯二甲酸缓冲溶液中溴化间-四(N-乙酸甲酯基-3-吡啶基)卟啉与Cu(Ⅱ)的配位反应

Kinetics of the coordination reaction of tetrakis(N-carbomethoxymethyl-3-pyridyl) porphyrin(abbr.

The effect of concentration of the cata-lyst, metal ion and pH value of solution was discussed. The kinetics equation of the reaction were obtained as d[CuP⁴⁺]/dt=16.15{(1.0+3.35×10⁵[PT^2-]²)/1.0+1.57×10^-4[H⁺]²}[Cu²⁺][P]_T. The mechanism of the reaction was proposed. The deformation of the ring of porphyrins is the general condition in the reaction.

The polysaccharide of lentinus edodes and polytictus versicolor has been fractionated by repeated precipitation method.All fractions and the unfractionated samples have been characterized by rapid dynamic membrane osmometry. For its aqueous solution, the second virial coefficient A₂ decreases as the molecular weight increases. The relationship is A₂= 2 slope (MnRT)-1/2.Determination of the distribution curve by means of fractional precipitation. Separation of a polysaccharide into six fractiona by a fractional precipitation carried out. The distribu-tion-curve of integral and differential is obtained. After according to the modified Elias'cloud-point titration method and using an Abbe's refractometer to define the clou-point,^[6-]8it was found that water/acetone (89:11 by vo-lume) is a θ solvent for the polymer at 25±0.05 C. For θ conditions,the intrinsic viscosities were determined by capillary viscometry. Thus a monodispersed [n]-M relationship has been obtained: [n]_θ=2.59×10^-2M^0.509 From the result above the unperturbed dimensi on(r²_θ)^1/2 was found to be 4.7×10^-9M^1/2.     

配合物[1-(4′-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium]2[Ni(dto)2](dto2-=dithiooxalate dianion)的合成及晶体结构

The complex [1-(4′-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium]₂[Ni(dto)₂] (dto^2- means dithiooxalate dianion) has been pre-pared by reaction of Na₂[Ni(S₂C₂O₂)₂] and the 1-(4′-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium chloride salt. The crystallographic data for the title complex: triclinic P1, a=8.5698(8)?, b=9.3461(9)?, c=10.5361(10)?, α=67.177(2)°, β=67.398(2)°, γ=79.611(2)°, V=717.59(12)?³, Z=1. The [Ni(dto)₂]^2- anion with the Ni atom lying on an inversion center and exhibits a quasi-planar structure. An extensive hydrogen bond network of C-H…O is clearly observed. The nature and size of cation seems to play an important factor in the type of intermolecular interactions as well as the crystal packing in this kind of complexes.     

STUDIES ON VINYL POLYMERIZATION WITH INITIATION SYSTEM CONTAINING AMINE DERIVATIVES

Two main types of amine-containing initiation systems were studied in this work. In the case of MMA polymerization initiated by BPO-amine (DMT, DHET, DMA) redox systems, it was found that the polymerization rate and colour stability of the polymer for different amine systems were in the following order: DMT≈DHET>DMA. Accordingly, BPO-DMT and BPO-DHET are effective initiators. In the case of MEMA polymerization by amine (DMT, DHET, DMA) alone, it was found that the polymerization rate and the percentage of conversion for these different amine systems were in the following order: DMT≥DHET>DMA. The polymerization rate and the percentage of conversion also increased with the increase of DMT concentration. From the kinetic investigation the rate equation of R_P=K [DMT]~(1/2) [MEMA]~(3/2) was obtained, and the overall activation energy of polymerization was calculated to be 34.3 KJ/mol (8.2 Kcal/mol). Moreover, the polymerization of MEMA in the presence of DMT was strongly inhibited by hydroquinone, indicating the polymerization being free radical in nature. From these results, the mechanism of MEMA polymerization initiated by amine was proposed.
