Hydrocarbon polymers containing six-membered rings in the main chain. Microstructure and properties of poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene)

The relationship between the microstructure and the properties of poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene)s, obtained by living anionic polymerization with an alkyllithium/amine system, and their hydrogenated derivatives are reported. The 1,2-bond/1,4-bond molar ratio of poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) was determined by measuring 2D-NMR with the H H COSY method. The glass transition temperature of poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) was found to rise with an increase in the ratio of 1,2-bonds to 1,4-bonds or with an increase of the number average molecular weight. The 1,2-bond of the polymer chain gives a high flexural strength and heat distortion temperature. Hydrogenated poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene) has the highest T_g (231°C) among all hydrocarbon polymers ever reported. 1,3-Cyclohexadiene–butadiene–1,3-cyclohexadiene triblock copolymer and 1,3-cyclohexadiene–styrene–1,3-cyclohexadiene triblock copolymer have high heat resistance and high mechanical strength. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

用双锂引发剂制备热塑弹性体S(IB)S

苯乙烯-二烯烃热塑弹性体(SDS)是橡胶代用品和热熔压敏胶的主体材料。其粘接强度低、耐老化性差常需配以增粘剂、防老剂。苯乙烯．异戊二烯嵌段共聚物(SIS)性能比SBS和EvA优越,我国异戊二烯原料不足、价格较高。以正丁基锂为引发剂的热塑弹性体S(IA)S性能与SIS相近。本文以有机双锂为引发剂、苯乙烯、丁二烯和异戊二烯为共聚单体,采用两步加料法合成热塑弹性体S(IB)S,对其结构、性能进行了表征。     

Poly[glycidyl methacrylate(GMA)/methylmethacrylate(MMA)-b-butadiene(B)-b-GMA/MMA] reactive thermoplastic elastomers: Synthesis and characterization

New block copolymers of the ABA type, where B stands for polybutadiene (PBD) and A for polyglycidylmethacrylate(PGMA), poly(methylmethacrylate(MMA)-co-GMA) and PMMA-b-PGMA, respectively, have been successfully synthesized by using the diadduct of tert-butyllithium (tert-BuLi) to meta-diisopropenylbenzene (m-DIB) as a difunctional initiator. The PBD midblock has been synthesized in a cyclohexane/diethylether (100/6, v/v) mixture at room temperature, whereas the methacrylate outer blocks have been synthesized in a cyclohexane/diethylether/THF (100/6/150, v/v/v) mixture at −78°C. Block copolymers of a very narrow molecular weight distribution (1.10) have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and tensile testing. These materials are phase separated and can exhibit tensile strength up to 22 MPa together with very high elongation at break (1500%). © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

溶液法星型聚乳酸的合成与表征

探讨了采用辛酸亚锡为催化剂,多元醇及多元酸为引发剂,以溶液法制备星型聚乳酸的可行性,研究了不同引发剂对产物分子量的影响.采用核磁共振及DSC对产物进行了表征,结果表明:以溶液法合成星型聚乳酸是可行的,但与丙交酯开环聚合制备星型聚乳酸的方法相比,溶液法在产物结构和分子量控制上并不十分有效,由于反应受到多官能团核引发剂空间位阻和反应概率的影响,聚乳酸产物的结构除星型结构外也同时存在大量的线型结构.     

Poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene-alt-α-fluoroacrylonitrile): Synthesis and structural analysis of a new alternating copolymer

Poly(1,3-cyclohexadiene-alt-α-fluoroacrylonitrile) [poly(1,3-CHD/α-FAN)], an alternating copolymer of α-fluoroacrylonitrile and 1,3-cyclohexadiene has been prepared in bulk using varied monomer feed ratios and AIBN as initiator at 65°C. Elemental and ¹H-NMR analyses indicate that the copolymer contains an equimolar composition of α-FAN and 1,3-CHD as observed for alternating copolymers with donor-acceptor polymerizations. A 2-D ¹H-COSY NMR experiment indicates that the copolymer contains 1,4-linkages across the cyclohexene unit while more reliable ¹³C-NMR spectra suggests the copolymer to contain both 1,2- and 1,4-linkages. Poly(1,3-CHD/α-FAN) exhibits improved thermal stability relative to the alternating copolymer of 1,3-CHD and α-chloroacrylonitrile due to a higher resistance to HF elimination relative to HCl elimination.     

远离临界组成的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/苯乙烯-丙烯腈无规共聚物共混薄膜表面相分离动力学

采用温控原子力显微镜方法,在线跟踪了远离临界组成聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/苯乙烯-丙烯腈无规共聚物(PMMA/SAN)共混薄膜的表面相分离行为,并研究了其动力学规律。 结果表明,在SAN含量为70%的样品中观察到了表面相分离行为,其过程可分为早期、中期和晚期3个阶段,分别对应特征化的标度指数:早期结果验证了Cahn线性理论,即标度指数为零;中期相行为主要受“碰撞-扩散”机理控制,因此表现出1/3的标度指数;在相分离后期,流体动力学主导了相区的生长和归并行为,此时标度指数变为2/3。 我们的研究结果对于深刻理解高分子相行为具有积极作用,并将对高分子薄膜加工提供必要的指导。     

Synthesis of star poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene): Grafting reaction of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium onto C60

The grafting reaction of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium onto fullerene‐C₆₀ (C₆₀) was strongly affected by the nucleophilicity of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (PCHD) carbanions and the polymer chain microstructure, and progressed via step‐by‐step reactions. A star‐shaped PCHD, having a maximum of four arms, was obtained from poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium composed of all 1,4‐cyclohexadiene (1,4‐CHD) units. The rate of the grafting reaction was accelerated by the addition of amine. The grafting density of PCHD arms onto C₆₀ decreased with an increase in the molar ratio of 1,2‐cyclohexadiene (1,2‐CHD) units. The electron‐transfer reaction from PCHD carbanions to C₆₀ did not occur in either a nonpolar solvent or a polar solvent. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/苯乙烯-丙烯腈无规共聚物薄膜表面原位原子力显微镜相图

采用原位原子力显微镜在线跟踪方法,研究了聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/苯乙烯 丙烯腈无规共聚物共混体系表面相分离行为,得到了具有下临界共溶温度（临界温度约为175 ℃）原位相图。 与文献报道的用离位方法所得结果的主要差别是原位的临界相分离温度稍有提高,以及离位结果中存在的组成对称性。 这些差别主要来源于离位和原位实验方法上的差别,薄膜厚度减小导致的相容性,热力学历史的变化以及基底效应的加剧。     

Synthesis of ABA‐triblock and star‐diblock copolymers with poly(2‐adamantyl vinyl ether) and poly(n‐butyl vinyl ether) segments: New thermoplastic elastomers composed solely of poly(vinyl ether) backbones

ABA‐type triblock copolymers and AB‐type star diblock copolymers with poly(2‐adamantyl vinyl ether) [poly(2‐AdVE)] hard outer segments and poly(n‐butyl vinyl ether) [poly(NBVE)] soft inner segments were synthesized by sequential living cationic copolymerization. Although both the two polymer segments were composed solely of poly(vinyl ether) backbones and hydrocarbon side chains, they were segregated into microphase‐separated structure, so that the block copolymers formed thermoplastic elastomers. Both the ABA‐type triblock copolymers and the AB‐type star diblock copolymers exhibited rubber elasticity over wide temperature range. For example, the ABA‐type triblock copolymers showed rubber elasticity from about ?53 °C to about 165 °C and the AB‐type star diblock copolymer did from about ?47 °C to 183 °C with a similar composition of poly(2‐AdVE) and poly(NBVE) segments in the dynamic mechanical analysis. The AB‐type star diblock copolymers exhibited higher tensile strength and elongation at break than the ABA‐type triblock copolymers. The thermal decomposition temperatures of both the block copolymers were as high as 321–331 °C, indicating their high thermal stability. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Difunctional initiator based on 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene. IV. Synthesis and modification of poly(alkyl methacrylate- b-styrene-b-butadiene- b-styrene-b-alkyl methacrylate (MSBSM)) thermoplastic elastomers

MSBSM five-block copolymers where B stands for butadiene, S for styrene, and M for either methyl methacrylate (MMA) or tert-butyl methacrylate (tBMA) have been synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization in an apolar solvent by using a difunctional anionic initiator derived from 1,3-diisopropenylbenzene. These block copolymers show improved mechanical properties and an extended service temperature compared to traditional SBS thermoplastic elastomers. Upon hydrolysis and further neutralization of the PolytBMA end-blocks, the upper glass transition temperature (T_g) of the five-block copolymers has been raised up to about 150°C. A further increase in this service temperature (up to ca. 160°C) has resulted from the blending of sPMMA-SBS-sPMMA five-block copolymers with isotactic poly(methacrylate) (iPMMA), due to the formation of a stereocomplex. The tensile properties of these modified five-block copolymers have remained essentially unchanged. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Living anionic polymerization of (E)‐1,3‐pentadiene and (Z)‐1,3‐pentadiene isomers

The anionic polymerization of (E)‐1,3‐pentadiene (EP) and (Z)‐1,3‐pentadiene (ZP) together with mixture of the E/Z isomers are investigated, respectively. The kinetic analysis shows that the activation energy for EP (86.17 kJ/mol) is much higher than that for ZP (59.03 kJ/mol). GPC shows that it is the EP rather than the ZP isomer that undergoes anionic living polymerization affording quantitative products of the polymers with well‐controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (1.05 ≤? ≤ 1.09). In addition, THF as polar additive has proved its validity to reduce the molecular weight distribution of poly(ZP) from 1.38 to as low as 1.19. The microstructure and sequence distributions of polypentadiene are characterized by ¹H NMR and quantitative ¹³C NMR. Finally, the distinctive reaction activity of two isomers can be elucidated by two different mechanisms which involve the presence of four forms of zwitterions for EP and the typical [1,5]‐sigmatropic hydrogen‐shift phenomenon for ZP. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of soluble single‐walled carbon nanotubes with poly (1,3‐cyclohexadiene): Grafting poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium onto a solid surface

The first‐ever grafting of poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (PCHD) onto single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was accomplished by reaction with poly(1,3‐cyclohexadienyl)lithium. The rate of this reaction was especially slow due to the heterogeneous nature of the reaction system. The concentration of active carbons available for reaction with PCHDLi on the solid surface of the SWNTs was found to be approximately 2.0 mol %. The mass of PCHD attached to the SWNTs was effectively controlled by varying the molecular weight of the PCHD. The resulting PCHD‐grafted SWNTs exhibited excellent solubility in organic solvent, maintaining a highly stable homogeneous dispersion even after 3 months. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

二维配位聚合物[K2(5-nbdc)2Cd(Ⅱ)·imH·H2O]∞的合成和晶体结构(英)

The crystal structure of the title complex, [K₂(5-nbdc)₂Cd(Ⅱ)·imH·H₂O]_∞ (5-nbdc=5-nitro-1,3-benzenedicarbonate, imH=imidazole) has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal data are: tetragonal, space group P4₁, M_r=694.93 for CdC₁₉H₁₂N₄O₁₃K₂, a=1.018 6(10) nm, b=1.018 6(10) nm, c=2.436 7(5) nm; Z=4, V=2.528 2(6) nm³, F(000)=1 376, D_c=1.826 Mg·m^-3, μ=1.267 mm^-1. The title polymeric complex exhibits a two-dimensional framework, in which adjacent Cd(Ⅱ) ions are bridged by μ-O₄-5-nitro-1,3-benzenedicarbonate groups forming one-dimensional chains that are further linked by μ-O₃-5-nitro-1,3-benzenedicarbonate groups into two-dimensional anion rectangle sheets with large 32-membered rings. The strong π-π stacks of the benzene rings link these adjacent sheets into a three-dimensional van der Waals network. CCDC: 245527.     

Synthesis and Thin Film Phase Behaviour of Functional Rod‐Coil Block Copolymers Based on Poly(para‐phenylenevinylene) and Poly(lactic acid)

We report the synthesis of a series of block copolymers consisting of a rod‐like semiconducting poly(2,5‐di(2′‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene) (DEH‐PPV) block and a flexible poly(lactic acid) (PLA) block that can be selectively degraded under mild conditions. Such selectively degradable block copolymers are designed as self‐assembling templates for bulk heterojunction donor–acceptor layers in organic solar cells. A lamellar microphase‐separated domain structure was identified for block copolymers with PLA volume fractions between 29 and 79% in bulk and thin films using SAXS, TEM, and AFM. Depending on the ratio of the two blocks we find either lamellae oriented parallel or perpendicular to the substrate in thin films.

     

Conformational mobility of the six-membered ring in 5-oxo-1,3-cyclohexadiene and its derivatives

Molecular mechanics and MNDO calculations showed that the six-membered ring in the molecule of 5-oxo-1,3-cyclohexadiene possesses high conformational mobility. The transition from a planar equilibrium conformation to a distorted sofa conformation in which the C(sp²)-C(=O)-C(sp³)-C(sp²) torsion angle is equal to ±30° increases the energy of the molecule by less than 1 kcal mol^–1. The influence of steric (R = Me, Et, Prⁱ, Bu^t) and electronic (R = NH₂, NO₂) effects of substituents R on the equilibrium conformation and mobility of the carbocycle has been analyzed. Both types of substituents at unsaturated C atoms do not change the equlibrium conformation or flexibility of the six-membered ring. Substituents at saturated C atoms cause the transition of the carbocycle to the distorted sofa conformation and significantly restrict its mobility. The electronic structures of 5-oxo-1,3-cyclohexadiene and its amino and nitro derivatives have been analyzed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

RAFT‐mediated synthesis and temperature‐induced responsive properties of poly(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) brushes

Well‐defined, high‐density poly(2‐(2‐methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate) [poly(MEO₂MA)] brushes were fabricated through a reliable strategy by the combination of self‐assembly of a monolayer of 3‐aminopropyltrimethoxy silane on silicon surface to immobilize 4‐cyano‐4‐(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl pentanoic acid chain transfer agent and reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer‐mediated polymerization of MEO₂MA. The whole fabrication process of the poly(MEO₂MA) brushes was followed by water contact angle, grazing angle‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Characterization of the poly(MEO₂MA) brushes, such as molecular weight and thickness determination, were measured by gel permeation chromatography and ellipsometry, and the grafting density was estimated. The temperature‐responsive property of the poly(MEO₂MA) brushes was further investigated and the result verified the brush‐to‐mushroom phase transition of the poly(MEO₂MA) chains from low to high temperature. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Elasticity of Single Poly(amido amine) Dendrimers

An atomic force microscope in the compression mode was used to probe the nanomechanical response of single dendrimeric molecules, as well as dendrimer aggregates adsorbed on silicon surface. The force‐compression behaviour of individual, generation 5 poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimers was described by a Hertzian model for the deformation of elastic bodies. The modulus values obtained ranged between 700 MPa (single dendrimers) and 150 MPa (dendrimer aggregates).
