INVESTIGATION OF THE USE OF POLY(3,4-EPOXY-1-BUTENE) IN FREE RADICAL PHOTOPOLYMERIZATIONS

ABSTRACT

The use of poly(3,4-epoxy-1-butene) (polyEPB) in photoinduced free radical polymerizations has been investigated. It was observed that the inclusion of polyEPB into these photopolymerizations has several beneficial effects. In combination with aromatic ketones, polyEPB functions as a hydrogen donor to form a highly effective photoinitiator for the polymerization of acrylate monomers. At the same time, polyEPB undergoes facile autoxidation that serves to mitigate inhibition effects due to oxygen during free radical photopolymerizations. PolyEPB is an effective chain transfer agent that tends to increase both the rate and conversion in photoinduced crosslinking polymerizations in which multifunctional monomers are employed. Lastly, polyEPB is a interesting matrix-modifying agent that becomes incorporated into the resin matrix during photopolymerization due to photoinduced grafting reactions.     

PHOTOINITIATED CATIONIC POLYMERIZATION OF EPOXY MONOMERS IN THE PRESENCE OF POLY(3,4-EPOXY-1-BUTENE)

ABSTRACT

Hydroxyl-terminated poly(3,4-epoxy-1-butene) (polyEPB) is an interesting and highly useful agent for the acceleration of the photoinitiated cationic ring-opening polymerization of epoxide monomers. Kinetic investigations using real-time infrared spectroscopy have shown that the observed acceleration of the polymerization is due to two independent mechanisms. Crosslinking polymerization of epoxide monomers is accelerated due to an activated monomer mechanism that results in facile chain transfer due to interaction of the terminal hydroxyl groups of polyEPB with the growing oxonium ion chain ends. A second mechanism involving participation of polyEPB in a free radical chain induced decomposition of the onium salt photoinitiator is mainly responsible for the observed acceleration in the rate of polymerization. A large number of polymer-bound carbocationic species are generated by this mechanism that are capable of initiating polymerization of the epoxide monomer.

Impact of plasticizers and tackifiers on the crystallization of isotactic poly(1-butene)

Crystallization of a semi-crystalline polyolefin in the presence of low molecular weight modifiers was quantified by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. The polyolefin was a commercial grade of isotactic poly(1-butene) (iPB). Two modifiers were used: an oligomeric plasticizer, designated HOAO, which decreased the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the system, and an oligomeric tackifier, designated HOCP, which increased T_g. Binary iPB/modifier blends containing 10% or 20% by weight of HOAO or HOCP were examined to determine how their addition affects T_g, while ternary iPB/HOAO/HOCP blends containing 10% or 20% by weight of total modifier were examined to determine the effects of dilution by using a ratio of HOAO to HOCP that matched the T_g of iPB. The addition of modifier decreased the nucleation rate, spherulitic crystal growth rate, and final crystallinity of each blend. However, only the nucleation rate showed a dependence on the type of modifier, with nucleation retarded more by HOCP than by HOAO. A Hoffman-Weeks analysis of the melting point as a function of crystallization temperature confirmed that the driving force for nucleation was reduced, and that the effect was larger for HOCP. An Avrami analysis of the bulk crystallization kinetics was consistent with these observations, as the Avrami exponents were in the range of 3-4.

本文通过核磁氢谱、DSC和分子量测定,研究了结晶对等规立构聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯辐射消旋和辐射裂解的影响.分子量测定的结果表明,等规立构聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯结晶后,其辐射裂解反应减弱,裂解G值减小将近一半.核磁氢谱测定辐照试样的空间立构变化结果为:随着辐照剂量的增加,等规立构逐渐变为无规立构和间规立构,其变化规律相似于非晶试样.结果还表明,晶区的消旋反应比裂解反应更为显著.DSC测得的试样熔点,随着辐照剂量的增加而急剧下降,由Flory结晶熔化理论计算得晶区的辐射破坏G值为8.8.该值远大于聚乙烯晶区的破坏G值.

THERMAL PROPERTY, MISCIBILITY AND CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF POLY（3-HYDROXYBUTYRATE-co- 3-YDROXYHEXANOATE） AND POLY（BUTYLENE SUCCINATE-ADIPATE） （PHBHHX/PBSA） BLENDS

Blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) and poly(butylene succinate-adipate) (PBSA), both biodegradable semicrystalline polyesters, were prepared with the ratio of PHBHHx/PBSA ranging from 80/20 to 20/80 by melt mixing method. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMA), polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and wide angle X-ray diffractometer (WAXD) were used to study the miscibility and crystallization behavior of PHBHHx/PBSA blends. Experimental results indicate that PHBHHx is immiscible with PBSA as shown by the almost unchanged glass transition temperature and the biphasic melt.     

STUDY ON SOLUBILIZATION MECHANISM IN THE SYNTHESIS OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLY(p-PHENYLENE TEREPHTHALAMIDE)

The salts dissolved in the amide solvent play an important role in the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA). The solubilization of salts was investigated in this paper. The effects of association-dissociation equilibrium of salts and the solvation of their ions as well as hydrogenbond on solubilization were discussed in some detail. The effects were attributed to cations and anions of salts respetively. Finally, the equation of solubilization was established according to the experimental results and some thermodynamic laws.The relations between molecular weight of PPTA and the solubilization were discussed.     

Preparation of telechelic oligomers by controlled thermal degradation of isotactic poly(1-butene) and poly(propylene-ran-1-butene)

It was found that telechelic isotactic oligo(1-butene) and telechelic oligo(propylene-ran-1-butene) could be isolated as nonvolatile oligomers from polymer residues resulting from the thermal degradation of isotactic poly(1-butene) and poly(propylene-ran-1-butene), respectively. Their structures were determined by ¹H and ¹³C NMR with attention being paid to their reactive end groups. The maximum average number of terminal vinylidene groups per molecule (f_TVD) was 1.8, indicating that about 80 mol% were α,ω-diene oligomers having two terminal vinylidene groups. This useful new telechelic oligomer had a lower polydispersity than the original polymer, in spite of its lower molecular weight and T_m. The composition of end groups of nonvolatile oligomers obtained by thermal degradation of poly(propylene-ran-1-butene) could be explained by the differences in bond dissociation energy and activation energy of elementary reactions during thermal degradation, based on the monomer composition of the original polymer.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLY(ASPARTIC ACID) AND ITS DERIVATIVES AS BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS

ABSTRACT

Three types of modified poly(aspartic acid)s, such as poly(aspartic acid-co-aminocarboxylic acid) (4), alkylamine modified poly(aspartic acid) (5) and crosslinked poly(aspartic acid) (6), were synthesized and calcium-ion chelating ability, hygroscopicity and water absorption were evaluated. The calcium-ion chelating ability of 4 depended on the kind of aminocarboxylic acids and the content of aminocarboxylic acid in the copolymer. The highest value was 3 times higher than that of poly(acrylic acid) with a M_w of 14000. The highly modified PASP, e.g., 50 mol% lauryl amine modified poly(aspartic acid), showed the highest by grogroscopicity among homopoly(aspartic acid)s and modified poly(aspartic acid)s. The maximum swelling of poly(aspartic acid) hydrogel prepared by the γ-irradiation of homopoly(as-partic acid) was 3400 g-deionized water/g-dry hydrogel.

CLOUD POINT CURVES OF POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL)/POLY(PROPYLENE GLYCOL) MIXTURES AND THEIR THERMODYNAMIC EXPLANATION

In the study of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) mixtures not only a bimodal shape but also a reverse trend of the dependence on molecular weight of the cloud point curves were observed.This trend indicates that the miscibility of the studied mixtures decreases as the molecular weight of one component decreases. The excess volumes of the mixtures show that the interaction parameter between two components decreases at first and increases after passing a minimum as the concentration of one component increases.This supports the explanation of Koningsveld on the bimodal shape of cloud point curves.Based on a binary interaction model a formula was derived revealing that the interaction between PPG and the end group of PEG and the hydrogen bonding interaction between ether and hydroxy end group inner or inter PEG molecules are not favorable for mixing.The latter interaction is an \"attractive\" force in PEG molecules.The two interactions are responsible for the observed abnormal dependence.     

STUDIES ON THE REGULAR COPOLYMERS OF POLY (1, 4-PHENYLENETEREPHTHALAMIDE)

自掺杂基团对聚苯胺自组装膜电化学性能的影响

基于离子相互作用,实现了以聚苯胺(PANI)为聚阳离子,以聚(邻氨基苯甲酸)(PCAN)、聚(邻氨基苯磺酸)(PSAN)为聚阴离子的层-层自组装,形成层厚均匀的全共轭超薄功能膜.由于磺酸基—SO3-的电负性高于—COO-,使得PANI-PSAN自组装膜沉积量小于PANI-PCAN;电化学实验结果显示,由于PCAN和PSAN的导电性均弱于PANI,所以两种自组装膜的电化学性能取决于PANI,但同时受到羧酸、磺酸基团的较大影响,使得PANI-PCAN自组装膜的电化学性能要优于PANI-PSAN.
