Solid‐State 1H NMR Studies of Degradable Poly(ethylene oxide) Based Hydrogels

Summary: Hydrogels, the elastic chains of which are constituted of a short central poly(1,3‐dioxolane) (PDXL) block surrounded by two hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blocks, were obtained by free radical homopolymerization of α,ω–methacryloyloxy PEO‐block‐1,3‐PDXL‐block‐PEO macromonomers. The central PDXL block is known to be sensitive to acidic degradation due to the presence of acetal groups. Once swollen to equilibrium, these hydrogels were characterized for their equilibrium swelling degree and their mechanical properties and network degradation studies were carried out.

Synthesis and degradation of intelligent hydrogels containing polyacetal segments

Intelligent hydrogels were first obtained by copolymerization of telechelic poly(1,3-dioxolane) (pDXL) with acrylic acid, acrylamide, N-isopropylacrylamide respectively. The synthesis and characterization of the networks were discussed. The swelling behavior of the hydrogel was dependent on the solubility parameter of the solvents and hydrogels. The networks containing polyacetal segments (pDXL) can degrade by acid in different solvents. DXL and few other cycle molecules measured by GC-MS analysis were formed after degradation. According to the degradation products, the polymerization mechanism can be testified.     

Acidolysis of poly(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane)

The onset of decomposition of poly(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane) was lowered to 70°C by 0.1 wt% p -toluene sulfonic acid from 170°C in the absence of acid to produce more than 81% yield of monomer. Protonation forms cyclic oxonium ion followed by depolymerization. Minor products are isomers of hydroxymethyl-2-hydroxyl-2-methyl ethyl ether and bis(2-hydroxyl-2-methyl ethoxyl)methane from rearrangements of the oxonium ions. The first order rate constant of acidolysis of poly(4-methyl-1-1,3-dioxolane) is about 8.5 kcal mol^?1, which is much smaller than about 17 kcal mol^?1 for the acidolysis of poly(1,3-dioxolane).     

Functionalization of poly(1,3-dioxolane)

1,3-Dioxolane was polymerized in the presence of ethylene glycol in order to prepare α,ω-dihydroxylated polymers which, upon reaction with pluriisocyanates yielded networks swellable in water. The crosslinks were made of urethane groups, which are bulky and hydrophobic. In order to expand the scope of the networks that can be envisioned, we have studied the replacement of the two end-standing hydroxylic groups by unsaturated polymerizable groups. Several methods are presented which allow successfully the quantitative endowment of the polymer endings with methacryloyl- or styryl- or vinylether-type groups. α,ω-dihydroxylated poly(1,3-dioxolane) was also metallated and used as a macroinitiator for the polymerization of ethylene oxide: the α,ω-dihydroxylated triblock copolymer obtained is made of a central poly(1,3-dioxolane) block flanked by two poly(ethylene oxide) ones. Several methods are also shown to be efficient in the characterization of the hydroxylic end-standing functions of the polymer.     

Random-coil configurations of the polyformals. VI. Dipole moments of the stereochemically variable polymer prepared from 4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane

Mean-square dipole moments 〈μ²〉₀ for the (atactic) poly(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolane) chain [CH₂OCH(CH₃)CH₂O? ] were determined from dielectric-constant measurements carried out on two fractions dissolved in benzene. Simple examination of the chain structure leads to the predictions that this polymer should have a significantly larger value of 〈μ²〉₀ than poly(1,3-dioxolane) itself, but that 〈μ²〉₀ should be nearly independent of stereochemical structure. The first expectation is confirmed by the experimental results obtained, and the second by calculated results based on rotational isomeric state theory.     

Fabrication of SiO2 hollow microsphere with urchin-like structure based on template from directed assembly of block copolymer

We report here a novel strategy for fabrication of SiO₂ hollow microspheres with urchin-like structure based on templates from directed assembly of block copolymer, poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl acrylate)-block-poly(acrylic acid-co-styrene) (PCEA-b-P(AA-co-Sty)). The structures of template from directed assembly of copolymers as well as that of as-obtained hollow SiO₂ microspheres were observed by a combination technique of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that the hollow microspheres consist of aligned SiO₂ “spines” radially growing from the core which are induced a favorable growth by the structures of the template from directed assembly of PCEA-b-P(AA-co-Sty). The “spine” density of the hollow SiO₂ sphere can be tuned by controlling the structure of the copolymer with different hydrolysis degree of poly(tert-butyl-acrylate) to PAA, and the ultimate size of the resultant SiO₂ hollow sphere can be adjusted by solvent and temperature in the sol–gel process, etc.     

Synthesis of polymer networks containing degradable polyacetal segments

Four different routes for the production of polyacetal containing networks are described : (1) free radical copolymerization of α,ω-(meth)acrylate terminated polyacetals, (2) hydrosilylation reactions of α,ω-allyl terminated poly- (1,3-dioxolane) with a multifunctional silane, (3) modification of α,ω-hydroxy terminated poly(1,3-dioxepane) through reaction with 3-isocyanatopropyl-triethoxysilane and subsequent cross-linking under influence of H₂O and (4) cross-linking of multifunctional hydroxy-terminated polyacetals by reaction with a diisocyanate.     

THE EFFECTS OF MONOMER STRUCTURE OF CYCLIC KETENE ACETALS ON THE BEHAVIOR OF CONTROLLED RADICAL RING-OPENING POLYMERIZATION

Polymerization of three cyclic ketene acetals: i.e., 5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (BMDO), 2-methylene-4-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane (MPDO) and 4, 7-dimethyl-2-methylene-1, 3-dioxepane(DMMDO) were carried out in the presence ofethyl α-bromobutyrate/CuBr/2, 2'-bipyridine respectively. The structures of poly(BMDO), poly(MPDO) and poly(DMMDO)were characterized by ~1H and ~(13)C-NMR spectra. The effects of monomer structure on the behavior of atom transfer freeradical ring-opening polymerization were investigated and the mechanism of controlled free radical ring-openingpolymerization was discussed.     

A novel method to prepare temperature/pH‐sensitive poly(N,N‐diethylacrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) hydrogels with rapid swelling/deswelling behaviors

Fast responsive temperature‐ and pH‐sensitive hydrogels of poly(N,N‐diethylacrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) (P(DEA‐co‐AA)) have been synthesized successfully by a two‐step procedure, in which the initial polymerization was conducted at constant temperature for 15 min, followed by further polymerization at ?30°C for 12 hr. Swelling studies showed that hydrogels thus prepared had almost the same temperature and pH sensitivity compared with the conventional ones (polymerized at 24°C for 12 hr). However, hydrogels thus prepared had faster swelling/deswelling rates in distilled water than the conventional ones, and their deswelling rates in low pH buffer solutions were also faster than the conventional ones. These improved properties were attributed to the porous network structure, which was confirmed by the results of scanning electron microscopy. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and characterization of the crystalline inclusion complexes between cyclodextrins and poly(1,3-dioxolane)

The preparation and characterization of the crystalline inclusion complexes between a polymeric guest, poly(1,3-dioxolane) (PDXL), and small-molecular hosts, cyclodextrins (CDs) are reported. It is observed that the polymer guest can form crystalline inclusion complexes with three kinds of cyclodextrins, which may be attributed to the high oxygen atom density in PDXL chain. The crystalline inclusion complexes were characterized with FTIR , TGA, X-ray diffraction, SEM, 1H NMR and 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopes. It was found that the crystalline inclusion complexes have higher temperature stability than the pure CDs. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the crystalline inclusion complexes proved that they have columnar structures. 13C CP/MAS NMR spectra of the crystalline inclusion complexes indicate that CDs adopt a more symmetrical conformation in the complexes, while pure CDs assume a less symmetrical conformation in the crystal without a guest inside their cavities. The morphology of the crystal was     

Cationic grafting from carbon black. VII. Grafting of polyacetals by cationic ring-opening polymerization of trioxane and 1,3-dioxolane initiated by CO+ClO4− groups on carbon black

The cationic ring-opening polymerization of trioxane and 1,3-dioxolane was found to be initiated by CO⁺CIO₄^? groups on a carbon black surface, which were introduced by the reaction of COCI groups with AgCIO₄. The activation energy of the ring-opening polymerization of trioxane was estimated to be 15.5 kcal/mol. In the polymerization system, poly(oxymethylene) and poly(1,3-dioxolane) formed were effectively grafted onto carbon black depending upon the propagation of these polymers from the carbon black surface; for instance, the grafting ratio of poly(oxymethylene) onto carbon black increased with an increase in conversion and went up to about 180%. Although the grafted chain of poly(oxymethylene) was subject to stepwise thermal depolymerization from the chain ends, the thermal stability of poly(oxymethylene)-grafted carbon black was improved by acetylation of hemiformal end groups. The molecular weight of ungrafted poly(oxymethylene) formed in the polymerization was determined to be 1.8–2.0 × 10⁴. Furthermore, the copolymerization of trioxane with 1,3-dioxolane, styrene, and other comonomers initiated by CO⁺CIO₄^? groups and the thermal stability of these acetal copolymer-grafted carbon black were investigated.     

Synthesis of 1-Bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-Dibromo-3-buten-2-one

Synthetic procedures for the preparation of 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one and 1,3-dibromo-3-buten-2-one are given. These compounds are prepared from 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane, which can readily be prepared from 2-ethyl- 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane. The synthetic routes are as follows: 2-bromomethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane is converted to 2-(1,2-dibromoethyl)-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Double dehydrobromination with ^tBuOK affords 2-ethynyl-2-bromomethyl-1,3-dioxolane. Formolysis with formic acid gives 1-bromo-3-butyn-2-one. Deacetalized 2-bromoethyl-2-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane was treated with Br₂ and Li₂CO₃/12-crown-4 in tetrahydrofuran to give 1,3-dibrom-3-buten-2-one in moderate yield.     

Preparation and radical ring-opening polymerization of 2-substituted-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolanes

2-Methyl-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIa ), 2-ethyl-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIb ), 2-phenyl-2-(n-propyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIc ), 2-phenyl-2-(i-propyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IId ), 2-(n-heptyl)-2-phenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIe ), 2-methyl-2-(2-naphthyl)-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIf ), and 2,2-diphenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane ( IIg ) were prepared and polymerized in the presence of a radical initiator. IIa–IIf were found to undergo vinyl polymerization with ring-opening reaction accompanying the elimination of ketone groups in bulk. IIg was found to undergo the quantitative ring-opening reaction accompanying the elimination of benzophenone in solution to obtain polyketone without any side reaction.     

Cationic 1,2-vinyl addition polymerization of cyclic ketene acetals initiated by conventional acids

Pure 1,2-addition polymers, poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxolane), 1b , poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane), 2b , and poly(2-methylene-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane), 3b , were prepared using the cationic initiators H₂SO₄, TiCl₄, BF₃, and also Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂. Small ester carbonyl bands in the IR spectra of 1b and 2b were observed when the polymerizations were performed at 80°C ( 1b ) and both 67 and 138°C ( 2b ) using Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂. The poly(cyclic ketene acetals) were stable if they were not exposed to acid and water. They were quite thermally stable and did not decompose until 290°C ( 1b ), 240°C ( 2b ), and 294°C ( 3b ). Different chemical shifts for axial and equatorial H and CH₃ on the ketal rings were found in the ¹H NMR spectrum of 3b at room temperature. High molecular weight 3b (M̄_n = 8.68 × 10⁴, M̄_w = 1.31 × 10⁵, M̄_z = 1.57 × 10⁵) was obtained upon cationic initiation by H₂SO₄. Poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane), 2b , underwent partial hydrolysis when Ru(PPh₃)₃Cl₂ and water were present in the polymer. The hydrolyzed products were 1,3-propanediol and a polymer containing both poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane) and polyketene units. The percentages of these two units in the hydrolyzed polymer were about 32% polyketene and 68% poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxane). No crosslinked or aromatic structures were observed in the hydrolyzed products. The molecular weight of hydrolyzed polymer was M̄_n = 5740, M̄_w = 7260, and M̄_z = 9060. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 3707–3716, 1997     

Synthesis of versatile poly(PMMA‐b‐VI) macromonomer‐based hydrogels via infrared laser ignited frontal polymerization

In this work, poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA) (MMA = methyl methacrylate; VI = 1‐vinylimidazole; AA = acrylic acid) hydrogels and poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA)/TPU (TPU = thermoplastic polyurethane) IPN (interpenetrating polymer networks) hydrogels have been fabricated via versatile infrared laser ignited frontal polymerization by using poly(PMMA‐b‐VI) macromonomer as the mononer. The frontal velocity and T_max (the highest temperature that the laser beam detected at a fixed point) can be adjusted by varying monomer weight ratios, the concentration of BPO (BPO = benzoyl peroxide) and the amount of TPU. Moreover, the addition of TPU enhances the reactant viscosity to suppress the “fingering” of frontal polymerization (FP) and decrease T_max of the reaction, providing a new inert carrier (TPU) to assist FP. Through the characterization of Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the desired structure can be proved to exist in the IPN hydrogels. Furthermore, poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA)/TPU IPN hydrogels possesses more excellent mechanical behaviors than hydrogels without IPN structure. Besides, the poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA) hydrogels present splendid sensitive properties toward substances of different flavor including sourness (CA, citric acid or GA, gluconic acid), umami (SG, sodium glutamate), saltiness (SC, sodium chloride), sweetness (GLU, glucose), enabling their potential as artificial tongue‐like sensing materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropylacrylamide) semi-interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels with rapid response to temperature changes

A series of thermosensitive and fast-response poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogels were prepared by incorporating PVA into cross-linked PNIPA to form a semi-interpenetrating polymeric network (semi-IPN). Compared to the conventional PNIPA hydrogel, the semi-IPN hydrogels thus prepared exhibit significantly faster response rates and undergo full deswelling in 1 min (lose about 95% water within 1 min) when the temperature is raised above their lower critical solution temperature, and have larger equilibrium swelling ratios at room temperature. These improved properties are attributed to the incorporation of PVA, which forms water-releasing channels and results in increased hydrophilicity, into the PNIPA hydrogel networks.     

Borohydride reduction of acetophenone and esters of dehydrocarboxylic acids in the presence of chiral cobalt(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">II</Emphasis>) diamine complexes

The catalytic reduction of acetophenone, methyl α-acetamidocinnamate, and dimethyl itaconate with alcohol-modified sodium borohydride was studied in the presence of complexes CoCl₂·L₂ (L₂ are chiral C ₂-symmetric diamines: (4S,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(aminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(methylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane, and (4S, 5S)-2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylaminomethyl)-1,3-dioxolane). The maximum enantiomeric excess of (S)-1-phenylethanol was 24%, that of dimethyl α-methylsuccinate was 38%.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Preparation of thermosensitive membranes by radiation grafting of acrylic acid/N-isopropyl acrylamide binary mixture on PET fabric

Thermosensitive membranes were prepared by radiation-induced graft copolymerization of monomers on PET fabrics. A binary mixture of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylic acid (AA) was grafted on polyester fabric as a base material to introduce thermosensitive poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) pendant chains having LCST slightly higher than 37 °C in the membrane. The influence of ferrous sulfate, radiation dose and monomer composition on the degree of grafting was studied. The structure of the grafted fabric was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. The thermosensitive nature of the fabric was monitored by swelling at different temperatures. The graft copolymerization of AA with NIPAAm enhanced the LCST of the resultant membrane to ∼37 °C. The moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) and air permeability of the fabric decreased slightly, may be due to the slight blocking of the fabric pores. The immobilization of tetracycline hydrochloride as the model drug and its release characteristics at different temperatures were monitored.
