Microstructure of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-isopropyl acrylate) studied by 13C NMR

The distribution of configurational–compositional sequences of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-isopropyl acrylate) (PMMA/iPrA) has been determined from the carbonyl and β-CH₂ signals in the 100?MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of the copolymer. The carbonyl signal provided information on configurational–compositional sequences up to heptads, whereas β-CH₂ signals offered complementary information on even sequences up to hexads. The assignment of the sequences to the respective signals was based on a comparison with the spectra of respective homopolymers, that is, PMMA and PiPrA followed by a computer simulation applying an incremental calculation of chemical shifts of the individual sequences.     

Microstructural study of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-propyl acrylate) by 13C NMR

Analysis of carbonyl and β-CH₂ signals in the 100?MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-n-propyl acrylate) (PMMA/nPrA), provided distribution of configurational-compositional sequences for a series of the copolymer samples of different composition at pentad level for carbonyl signal and hexad level for the backbone methylene carbons. Computer simulation of the spectra based on incremental calculation of the chemical shifts for individual sequences provided very good agreement with the experimental spectra.     

Sequence distribution of PMMA/iBuA copolymer by incremental calculation of 13C NMR spectra

An incremental method for characterizing triad and pentad distribution by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was applied to the poly(methyl methacrylate-co-isobutyl acrylate) copolymer. Calculation of the intensity of individual lines was performed applying Bernoulli statistics, while the chemical shifts for each sequence were calculated by an incremental method. Based on these data, the carbonyl signal was simulated yielding good agreement at the triad and pentad level.

Poly(methyl methacrylate)-induced Microstructure and Hydrolysis Behavior Changes of Poly(L-lactic acid)/Carbon Nanotubes Composites

Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)-based composites exhibit wide applications in many fields.However,most of hydrophilic fillers usually accelerate the hydrolytic degradation of PLLA,which is unfavorable for the prolonging of the service life of the articles.In this work,a small quantity of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)(2 wt%-10 wt%)was incorporated into the PLLA/carbon nanotubes(CNTs)composites.The effects of PMMA content on the dispersion of CNTs as well as the microstructure and hydrolytic degradation behaviors of the composites were systematically investigated.The results showed that PMMA promoted the dispersion of CNTs in the composites.Amorphous PLLA was obtained in all the composites.Largely enhanced hydrolytic degradation resistance was achieved by incorporating PMMA,especially at relatively high PMMA content.Incorporating 10 wt%PMMA led to a dramatic decrease in the hydrolytic degradation rate from 0.19%/h of the PLLA/CNT composite sample to 0.059%/h of the PLLA/PMMA-10/CNT composite sample.The microstructure evolution of the composites was also detected,and the results showed that no crystallization occurred in the PLLA matrix.Further results based on the interfacial tension calculation showed that the enhanced hydrolytic degradation resistance of the PLLA matrix was mainly attributed to the relatively strong interfacial affinity between PMMA and CNTs,which prevented the occurrence of hydrolytic degradation at the interface between PLLA and CNTs.This work provides an alternative method for tailoring the hydrolytic degradation ability of the PLLA-based composites.     

Structural investigation of poly (methyl acrylate) by 2D HMBC NMR

Three and four bond order couplings between carbonyl carbon and other neighboring protons have been investigated in detail with the help of 2D heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) spectrum. The methine and methylene protons in pentad and tetrad configuration were found to couple with carbonyl carbon. The intensity ratio of methylene protons’ cross peaks in HMBC spectrum shows that 50% of poly methyl acrylate (PMA) is in isotactic and 50% is in syndiotactic configuration. The configurational analysis was mainly carried out with the help of 2D HMBC spectrum.     

Synthesis of Poly(methyl acrylate) Grafted onto Silica Particles by Z-supported RAFT Polymerization

RAFT polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) mediated by silica-supported 3-(methoxycarbonyl-phenyl-methylsulfanylthiocarbonylsulfanyl) propionic acid (Si- MPPA) and 3-(benzylsulfanylthiocarbonylsulfanyl) propionic acid (Si-BSPA) was investigated. The molecular weight and polydispersity of grafted polymeric chains and the grafted chain transfer agent (CTA) efficiency (G_e) were strongly dependent on the types and loading of Si-CTAs and free CTA used in solution. Under similar reaction conditions, the graft polymerization mediated by Si-MPPA was better controlled than that using Si-BSPA. The introduction of a free CTA in solution during Si-MPPA mediated polymerization could significantly decrease the polydispersity of free and grafted polymeric chains and enhance the grafted CTA efficiency, and longer polymeric chains could be grafted onto silica support when Si-MPPA with a higher CTA loading was used to mediate the polymerization. In all cases, the RAFT polymerization using 2-(2-cyanopropyl) dithiobenzoate (CPDB) as a free CTA could afford well-defined grafted PMA and significantly increased G_e value, while the polymerization rate was also decreased.     

Synthesis and characterizations of novel, positively charged poly(methyl acrylate)-SiO2 nanocomposites

A series of positively charged poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA)-SiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared through the sol-gel process of positively charged alkoxysilane-containing polymer precursors. The precursors were synthesized by coupling different amounts of N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propyl] ethylene diamine (A-1120) to poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA), followed by a quaternization reaction. These precursors were then hydrolyzed and condensed to generate PMA-SiO₂ hybrid sol-gel materials. IR and ¹H NMR measurements were conducted to confirm the chemical structure of the step products during the hybrids preparation. Thermal stabilities of the hybrids were conducted by DSC, TGA and their nanoscale microphase separation was distinguished by FE-SEM. Anion-exchange capacities of these nanocomposites were examined to be in the range of 0.19−1.20 mmol/g.     

Poly(n-butyl acrylate) based lead (II) selective electrodes

Poly(n-butyl acrylate) membranes for potentiometric ion-selective electrodes were developed and studied on example of lead-selective sensors. A novel approach resulting in Nernstian responses of tested sensor was proposed. Introduction of 5% (w/w) hydroxyethyl methacrylate into n-butyl acrylate moiety resulted in significant improvement of sensor analytical parameters. For the latter membrane material linear responses were obtained within lead activities range from 10⁻² to 10⁻⁹ mol/dm³, while for poly(n-butyl acrylate) based membranes pretreated in the same manner super-Nernstian behavior was obtained in a parallel experiment. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies did not reveal significant differences between these two membranes, also similar lead ions diffusion coefficients were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with laser ablation.The difference between two kinds of membranes was found to concern higher Pb(II) ions contents in the surface part of the membrane with hydroxyethyl methacrylate, resulting in balanced Pb ions fluxes from/to the membrane.

Characterization of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylates) obtained by inverse microemulsion polymerization

Two series of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylates) with compositions rangingfrom 10 to 55 mol % acrylate units were prepared by radical polymerization in inverse microemulsions. The compositional analyses of the samples were performed using elemental analysis, potentiometry and¹³C NMR. The comparison between the three methods indicates that¹³C NMR is the most reliable one, avoiding errors which often arise from associated water in hydrophilic polymers. The copolymer viscosity exhibits a maximum behavior around 40 mol % acrylate content, a lower value than that already observed for co-polymers prepared in homogeneous solution. The production of copolymers presenting high intrinsic viscosities ( 3700 cm³g^–) is achieved using an inverse microemulsion as the polymerization medium operating at lower temperature.

Poly(acrylonitrile‐co‐methyl methacrylate‐co‐methyl acrylate): Synthesis and stereosequence distribution analysis by 2D NMR

Terpolymers of acrylonitrile (A), methyl methacrylate (B), and methyl acrylate (M) were synthesized under optimized atom transfer radical polymerization conditions using 2‐bromopropionitrile as an initiator and CuBr/dinonyl bipyridine as a catalyst. Variation of the feed composition led to terpolymers with different compositions. Composition of synthesized terpolymers were calculated from quantitative ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectra. Number average molecular weight and polydispersity index were determined by gel permeation chromatography. The overlapping and broad signals of the terpolymers were assigned completely to various compositional and configurational sequences by correlation of one‐dimensional ¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, and distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer and two‐dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) and total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY). 2D HSQC NMR study shows one to one correlation between carbon and proton signals, while 2D TOCSY spectra were used to confirm 1, 2 bond geminal couplings between nonequivalent protons of same methylene group. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Non-Isothermal Crystallization of Poly (vinylidene fluoride)/Poly (methyl methacrylate)/Cellulose Nanocrystal Nanocomposites

Poly (vinylidiene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) nanocomposites were prepared by solution blending. Non-isothermal crystallization of PVDF/PMMA (70/30) blend and its composites was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the addition of CNCs played a positive role in both the crystallization rate and crystallization percentage. The addition of CNCs increased the initial crystallization temperature, peak crystallization temperature, and crystalline enthalpy. The Avrami index indicated that CNCs did not change the crystallization mechanism; while other parameters derived from Jeziorny theory and Mo's method, including Z _c , F(t), and α, further verified the positive role played by CNCs.

Molecular weight effect on the complexation of poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(ethylene oxide) as studied by high-resolution solid-state C NMR spectroscopy

Complexes of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with different PEO molecular weight were studied by solid-state high-resolution ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, with the emphasis on the PEO molecular weight effect on inter-polymer interaction, morphology and molecular motion. It is found that the crystalline phase of PEO is completely destroyed in the complex. The results of ¹H transverse relaxation times and ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation times indicate that the chain mobility of both PEO and PMAA are greatly restricted by inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, especially when the molecular weight of PEO is 1500. The bulk structures of the complexes are found to be closely dependent on the molecular weight of PEO. The fraction of “free” PEO segments without forming hydrogen-bonds with PMAA increases with increasing PEO molecular weight.
