Summary: A novel aliphatic polycarbonate based on ketal protected dihydroxyacetone was synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic carbonate monomer, 2,2‐ethylenedioxypropane‐1,3‐diol carbonate (EOPDC), in bulk. Effects of polymerization conditions such as catalysts, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time on the polymerization were investigated. The polycarbonate obtained was characterized by GPC, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and DSC. The study on in vitro degradation of PEOPDC shows that the degradation mainly results from surface erosion.

A new cyclic carbonate, 2,2-ethylenedioxypropane-l,3-diol carbonate (EOPDC), was synthesized through a two-step reaction from dihydroxyacetone dimer, and polymerized in bulk initiated by Sn(Oct)2 to give a high molecular weight polycarbonate. The structure of monomer and the polymer were characterized by FT-1R, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR. The cytotoxicity of the obtained polycarbonate was investigated by MTT assay. 相似文献
A water‐soluble polycarbonate with dimethylamino pendant groups, poly(2‐dimethylaminotrimethylene carbonate) (PDMATC), is synthesized and characterized. First, the six‐membered carbonate monomer, 2‐dimethylaminotrimethylene carbonate (DMATC), is prepared via the cyclization reaction of 2‐(dimethylamino)propane‐1,3‐diol with triphosgene in the presence of triethylamine. Although the attempted ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of DMATC with Sn(Oct)2 as a catalyst fails, the ROP of DMATC is successfully carried out with Novozym‐435 as a catalyst to give water‐soluble aliphatic polycarbonate PDMATC with low cytotoxicity and good degradability. 相似文献
Enzymatic ring-opening polymerization of a 6-membered cyclic carbonate, 1,3-dioxan-2-one, was investigated by using lipase as catalyst in bulk. Supported lipase derived from Candida antarctica catalyzed the polymerization to give the corresponding aliphatic polycarbonate. Unchanged monomer was recovered in the absence of the enzyme or using an inactivated enzyme, indicating that the present polymerization proceeds through enzymatic catalysis. 相似文献
To synthesize novel phospholipid polymers by polycondensation, 1,3‐dichloroisopropyl phosphorylcholine (DCPC) was synthesized as a new monomer. The DCPC was reacted with 1,4‐dibromobutane in the presence of potassium carbonate, and polycarbonates having phosphorylcholine group were obtained with changing in the mole fraction of DCPC unit. The number averaged molecular weight (Mn) of the polycarbonate determined by gel‐permeation chromatography was in the range between 4×103–1×104 g·mol–1. The polycarbonate containing 30 mol‐% of DCPC units was dissolved in water. The surface tension measurement of an aqueous solution containing the polycarbonate indicated the formation of a polymer associate when the concentration of the polycarbonate was higher than 5.0×10–3 g/dL. 相似文献
The catalytic activities of SO42-/TiO2-MoO3 in synthesizing cyclohexanone ethylene ketal,cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane,2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane, butanone ethy-lene ketal and butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal were reported. It has been demonstrated that SO42-/TiO2-MoO3 is an excellent catalyst. Various factors concerned in this reaction have been investigated. The optimum conditions have been found, that is, the molar ratio of aldehyde/ketone to alcohol was 1:1.5 or 1:1.3,the mass ratio of the catalyst used to the reactants was 0.25~1.5%, and the reaction time was 45~60 min. Under this conditions, the yield of cyclohexanone ethylene ketal is 82.7%, cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal is 83.4%, the yield of 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane is 68.1%,4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane is 87.5%, the yield of 2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane is 70.7%,4-methyl-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane is 82.5%, the yield of butanone ethylene ketal is 74.1%, and butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal is 94.9%.Some equation and experiment results concerned of the synthetic acetals or ketals were listed as follows. 相似文献
1,3-Dioxanone-2 (trimethylene carbonate) was polymerized by use of methyl triflate or triethyloxonium fluoborate under various reaction conditions. Chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, and nitrobenzene were used as solvents; the temperature was varied between 25 and 50°C; and the monomer/initiator ratio between 50 and 400. However, inherent viscosities above 0.29 dL/g (Mn > 6000) were never obtained, owing to side reactions such as backbiting and formation of ether groups. IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy revealed that the polymerization mechanism agrees with that of the cationic polymerization of lactones in that propagation involves cleavage of the alkyl-oxygen bond. The active cationic chain end and the dead methylcarbonate end groups were identified by means of 1H-NMR spectra. A reaction mechanism for the formation of ether groups is discussed. Furthermore, 1H-NMR spectroscopy indicated that ethylene carbonate and biphenyl-2,2′-carbonate do not react with methyl triflate at 20, 60, or even 100°C. 相似文献
An unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene, namely 1-isopropyl-3-benzylimidazol-2-ylidene, is a highly active catalyst for ring-opening polymerization of ?-caprolactone (CL) to give polycaprolactone (PCL) with number average molecular weight (Mn) as high as 2.66 × 104 at 0°C in 100 min in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The effects of monomer/initiator molar ratio ([M]/[I]), catalyst/initiator molar ratio ([C]/[I]), monomer concentration, as well as polymerization temperature and time have been investigated. The kinetic studies of CL polymerization have indicated that the polymerization rate is first-order with respect to both monomer and catalyst concentrations. The apparent activation energy amounts to 56.04 kJ/mol. The proposed mechanism is a monomer-activated process. 相似文献
Summery: A Ziegler-Natta catalyst of MgCl2 (ethoxide type)/TiCl4 has been synthesized. In order to obtain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tri-isobutylaluminum which is less active to chain transfer was used as cocatalyst. Slurry polymerization was carried out for the polymerization of ethylene while, dilute solution viscometry was performed for the viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) measurement. The effect of [Al]/[Ti] molar ratio, temperature, monomer pressure and polymerization time on the Mv and productivity of the catalyst have been investigated. The results showed increasing [Al]/[Ti] ratio in the range of 78–117, decreased the Mv of the obtained polymer from 7.8 × 106 to 3.7 × 106 however, further increase of the ratio, resulted in decreased of by much slower rate up to [Al]/[Ti] = 588. The higher pressure in the range of 1–7 bars showed the higher the Mv of the polymer obtained, while increasing temperature in the range of 50 to 90 °C decreased the Mv from 9.3 × 106 to 3.7 × 106. The Mv rapidly increase with polymerization time in the first 15 minutes of the reaction, this increase was slowly up to the end of the reaction (120 min). Increasing [Al]/[Ti] ratio raised productivity of the catalyst in the range studied. Rising reaction temperature from 50 to 75 °C increased the productivity of the catalyst however, further increase in the temperature up to the 90 °C decreased activity of the catalyst. Monomer pressure in the range 1 to 7 bars yields higher productivity of the catalyst. Also by varying polymerization conditions synthesizing of UHMWPE with Mv in the range of 3 × 106 to 9 × 106 was feasible. 相似文献
The propagation kinetics of N-vinylcarbazole (NVC) were carefully investigated via the IUPAC-recommended pulsed-laser polymerization/size-exclusion chromatography technique (PLP-SEC) in the temperature range between –20 and 20°C using 355 nm pulsed irradiation and the photo initiator 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA) as a source of primary radicals. Using this experimental approach, propagation rate coefficients, kp, were not accessible for temperatures exceeding 20°C. There is strong evidence that the monomer itself is excited by pulsed-laser light of 355 nm, thus contributing to the polymerization process via the formation of free radicals. In addition, UV light-induced cationic polymerization processes can not be ignored as a possible side reaction. NVC polymer also absorbs strongly at 355 nm and we speculate that this may lead to bond scission and branch network formation in the PLP process. Laser-controlled molecular weight distributions are only obtained for reaction temperatures below 20°C. The apparent Arrhenius parameters, EA and A, are 22.8 kJ·mol–1 and 3.6×107 L·mol–1·s–1, respectively. These results are divergent from recent literature data. 相似文献
MAO/CpTiCl3 is an active catalyst for the polymerization of various types of 1,3-dienes. Butadiene, (E) - and (Z) −1,3-pentadiene, (E) −2-methyl-1,3-pentadiene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene yield, at room temperature, polymers with a cis-1,4 or a mixed cis/1,2 structure. 4-Methyl-1,3-pentadiene and (E,E) −2,4-hexadiene give, respectively, a 1,2 syndiotactic and a trans-1,4/1,2 polymer. MAO/CpTiCl2·2THF and MAO/(CpTiCl2)n are less active than the CpTiCl3 catalyst, but give the same type of polymers. A change of stereospecificity with temperature was observed in the polymerization of (Z)-1,3-pentadiene: a cis-1,4 isotactic polymer was obtained at +20°C, and a crystalline 1,2 syndiotactic polymer at −20°C. This effect was attributed to a different mode of coordination of the monomer, which is cis-η4 at +20°C and may be trans-η2 at −20°C. Results obtained with catalysts from CpTi(OBu)3 and Ti(OBu)4 are reported for comparison. An interpretation is given of the formation of cis-1,4 isotactic poly(2-methylpentadiene) and of 1,2 syndiotactic poly(4-methylpentadiene), as well as of syndiotactic polystyrene. 相似文献
AbstractIn this work was evaluated the activity of samarium acetate (III) (Sm(OAc)3) as a possible initiator in the polymerization by ring opening of trimethylene carbonate (TMC). All polymerizations were carried out under solvent-free melt conditions in ampoules-like flasks, equipped with a magnetic stirrer. The effects of different parameters of reaction, such as molar ratio monomer to initiator, temperature and reaction time, on typical variables of polymers, e.g., conversion of TMC to poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC), dispersity and molar mass, were analyzed. The molar ratio of monomer to initiator was varied between 0 and 1000?mol/mol and the temperature among 70 and 150?°C. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR and HMBC) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) were used to characterize the polymers. The results indicate that the Sm(OAc)3 induces the polymerization of TMC to high conversion with number-average molecular weights of 3.11?×?103 to 38.40?×?103?Da. Based on the 1H-NMR end-group analysis of low-molecular-weight PTMC, it was proposed a coordination–insertion mechanism for the polymerization, with a breakdown of the acyl-oxygen bond of the TMC. In according to the kinetic study carried out, the polymerization rate is first-order with respect to monomer concentration with apparent rate constants of kap?=?7.02?×?10?4?mol?×?L?1?×?h?1. 相似文献
The multi-ether compounds with different numbers of methoxy groups containing 1,3-dimethoxy-2,2-bis(methoxymethyl)propane and 1-methoxy-2,2-bis(methoxymethyl)butane were synthesized using the Williamson reaction from pentaerythritol and 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane, respectively, in the presence of sodium hydride and methyl iodide in tetrahydrofuran and they were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy. These compounds were employed as external donors in the polymerization of propylene using the industrial Ziegler-Natta catalyst. A commercial spherical MgCl2-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst containing diisobutyl phthalate as the internal donor was used for the polymerization of propylene. The role of ether compounds and industrial alkoxysilanes on the properties of polypropylene were studied using the xylene solubility method, melt flow index, gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The addition of the electron donors has led to improvements in the activity and selectivity of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst system. 相似文献
Poly(5-benzyloxy-trimethylene carbonate) (PBTMC), a new functional polycarbonate was synthesized by enzymatic ring-opening polymerization in bulk at 150°C using Porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) or Candida rugosa lipase (CL) as catalyst. Influences of different polymerization conditions such as the source of enzyme, enzyme concentration and polymerization time on the molecular weight and yield were studied. The results showed that PPL exhibited higher activity than CL. Both higher molecular weight(Mn, 18953) and yield(98%) could be obtained by the use of PPL as catalyst. 1H NMR spectrum showed no decarboxylation occurrence during the ring-opening polymerization. 相似文献
