Precipitation polymerization in acetonitrile and 1‐propanol mixture: synthesis of monodisperse poly(styrene‐co‐divinylbenzene) microspheres with clean and smooth surface

Precipitation polymerization of styrene (St)–divinylbenzene (DVB) has been carried out using acetonitrile/1‐propanol mixture as the reaction media and 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Monodisperse micron‐sized poly(St‐co‐DVB) microspheres with clean and smooth surface were synthesized in the absence of any stabilizing agent such as surfactants or steric stabilizers. The effects of various polymerization parameters such as 1‐propanol fraction in the reaction media, initiator and total monomer concentration, DVB content, polymerization time and polymerization temperature on the morphology, particle size and size distribution were investigated. It was found that smoothly shaped stable particles were obtained when less than 70 vol% of 1‐propanol was used in the media. The particle size increased with the AIBN concentration, whereas the change of uniformity was less obvious. Monodisperse microspheres were obtained when the total monomers loading ranged from 0.5 to 3 vol%. The particle diameter ranged from 2.73 to 1.87 µm with an increasing DVB content and the uniformity was enhanced. In addition, the yield of microspheres increased with the increasing total monomer, initiator, and DVB concentration and polymerization time. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Poly(N,N‐diethylacrylamide) microspheres by dispersion polymerization

Poly(N,N‐diethylacrylamide)‐based microspheres were prepared by ammonium persulfate (APS)‐initiated and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP)‐stabilized dispersion polymerization. The effects of various polymerization parameters, including concentration of N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) crosslinker, monomer, initiator, stabilizer and polymerization temperature on their properties were elucidated. The hydrogel microspheres were described in terms of their size and size distribution and morphological and temperature‐induced swelling properties. While scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the morphology of the microspheres, the temperature sensitivity of the microspheres was demonstrated by dynamic light scattering. The hydrodynamic particle diameter decreased sharply as the temperature reached a critical temperature ～ 30 °C. A decrease in the particle size was observed with increasing concentration of both the APS initiator and the PVP stabilizer. The microspheres crosslinked with 2–15 wt % of MBAAm had a fairly narrow size distribution. It was found that the higher the content of the crosslinking agent, the lower the swelling ratio. High concentration of the crosslinker gave unstable dispersions. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 6263–6271, 2008     

Reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of a typical hydrophobic monomer of styrene within microreactor of shell‐corona hollow microspheres suspending in water

Reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of a typical hydrophobic monomer of styrene within microreactor of shell‐corona hollow microspheres of poly(styrene‐co‐methacrylic acid) suspending in water is studied. The shell‐corona hollow microspheres contain a hydrophilic corona of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and a cross‐linked polystyrene shell, which can suspend in water because of the hydrophilic corona of PMAA. The size of the shell‐corona hollow microspheres is about 289 nm and the extent of the microcavity of the hollow microsphere is 154 nm. These shell‐corona hollow microspheres can act as microreactor, within which the typical hydrophobic monomer of styrene, the RAFT agent of S‐benzyl dithiobenzoate and the initiator of 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile can be encapsulated and RAFT polymerization of styrene takes place in well controlled manner in water. It is found that the resultant polymer of polystyrene has a competitively low polydispersity index and its number‐average molecular weight linearly increases with monomer conversion. The method is believed to be a new strategy of RAFT polymerization of hydrophobic monomer in aqueous solution. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010     

Synthesis of copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate by DL-methionine-mediated reversible deactivation radical polymerization and their dispersion behavior in preparation of LiFePO4 battery positive slurry with high solid content

Dispersants play a significant role in the formulation of positive battery slurry. Adding a small amount of dispersant can effectively reduce the viscosity of the slurry, which is beneficial for the production of positive batteries. A series of copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) with different molar ratios of NVP to 2-EHA, different polymer molecular weights and different polymer structures are synthesized by dl -methionine-mediated reversible deactivation radical polymerization. The ability of these copolymers to disperse LiFePO₄ battery positive slurry with a high solid content (57.08%) as dispersants has been evaluated. Research shows that when the ratio of NVP to 2-EHA is 20 and the polymer molecular weight is 6000, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-ran-2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (NVP-ran-2-EHA) exhibits the strongest dispersing ability to the slurry. This polymer can reduce the viscosity of the slurry by 43.925% and has the longest stabilization time of 3 h, which is better than poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-block-poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (PVP-b-PEHA) with the same molecular weight.     

Synthesis and characterization of well‐defined poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate‐co‐styrene)‐graft‐poly(ε‐caprolactone) by sequential controlled polymerization

A new graft copolymer, poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate‐co‐styrene) ‐graft‐poly(?‐caprolactone), was prepared by combination of reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) with coordination‐insertion ring‐opening polymerization (ROP). The copolymerization of styrene (St) and 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was carried out at 60 °C in the presence of 2‐phenylprop‐2‐yl dithiobenzoate (PPDTB) using AIBN as initiator. The molecular weight of poly (2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate‐co‐styrene) [poly(HEMA‐co‐St)] increased with the monomer conversion, and the molecular weight distribution was in the range of 1.09 ～ 1.39. The ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of ?‐caprolactone was then initiated by the hydroxyl groups of the poly(HEMA‐co‐St) precursors in the presence of stannous octoate (Sn(Oct)₂). GPC and ¹H‐NMR data demonstrated the polymerization courses are under control, and nearly all hydroxyl groups took part in the initiation. The efficiency of grafting was very high. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 5523–5529, 2004

Solvent‐free free‐radical frontal polymerization: A new approach to quickly synthesize poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone)

The first synthesis of poly(N‐vinylpyrrolidone) without solvent by free‐radical frontal polymerization at ambient pressure is reported. The appropriate amounts of two reactants N‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NVP) and initiator 2,2′‐azobis‐isobutyronitrile (AIBN) without solvent were mixed together at ambient temperature. Frontal polymerization was initiated by heating the wall of the tube with a soldering iron, and the resultant hot fronts were allowed to self‐propagate throughout the reaction vessel. Once initiated, no further energy was required for polymerization to occur. To suppress the fingers of molten monomer, a small amount of nanosilica was added. The dependence of the front velocity and front temperature on the AIBN concentration was thoroughly investigated. The as‐prepared polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results show that without postpolymerization solvent removal, waste production can be reduced. Solvent‐free FP could be exploited as a means for preparation of PVP with the potential advantage of higher throughput than solvent‐based methods. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of the polymerization parameters on the morphology and spherical particle size of poly(styrene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-divinylbenzene) prepared by precipitation polymerization

Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) microspheres having a diameter range of 3.0–4.5 µm were synthesized by precipitation polymerization under various conditions, then the effects of the polymerization parameters such as monomer and initiator concentration, and used cosolvents on the characteristics of the final particles were compared with those in dispersion polymerization. It was found that precipitation polymerization is more sensitive to polymerization conditions than dispersion polymerization, and that precise control of polymerization parameters is therefore essential for individually stable spherical particles. Monomer and initiator concentration, and the use of cosolvents significantly vary the morphology and the size of the final particles. However, the uniformity of the microspheres is not greatly affected by the polymerization parameters.     

Synthesis of high molecular weight poly(methyl methacrylate) microspheres by suspension polymerization in the presence of silver nanoparticles

To prepare high molecular weight (HMW) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/silver microspheres, methyl methacrylate was suspension-polymerized in the presence of silver nanoparticles using a low-temperature initiator at different conditions. The rate of conversion was increased with increasing initiator concentration. In the case of adding silver nanoparticles, the rate of polymerization decreased slightly. High monomer conversion (about 95%) was obtained in spite of low polymerization temperature of 30 °C. Under controlled conditions, PMMA/silver microspheres with various viscosity-average degree of polymerization (6,000–37,000) were prepared.     

Synthesis of monodispersed poly(acrylonitrile) microspheres by dispersion polymerization in compressed liquid dimethyl ether

In this study, monodispersed spherical particles of poly(acrylonitrile) were synthesized via dispersion polymerization in compressed liquid dimethyl ether using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator and five kinds of surfactants: PDMS-g-pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid (Monasil PCA™), PDMS modified surfactants, SS-5050K™, KF-6017™, poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10- heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate), and poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate). Using Monasil PCA as a surfactant, uniform and spherical polymer particles were generated. The size of the microsphere particles was reduced via an increase in the concentration of Monasil PCA and a reduction in the monomer concentration. Increases in the concentration of AIBN resulted in a broad distribution of microspheres. Reaction temperature and pressure did not exert significant effects on the size and size distribution of the polymer particles.     

Ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and preparation of its microsphere in supercritical fluids

The ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide initiated by stannous octoate was carried out in supercritical chlorodifluoromethane (scR22) at various reaction conditions (time and temperature) and reactant concentrations (initiator, monomer, and solvent). The monomer conversion increased to ca. 70% on increasing the reaction time to 1 h. The molecular weight of the poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) product also increased to ca. 160,000 g x mol(-1) over the same period. Increasing reaction temperature from 90 to 130 degrees C resulted in increased monomer conversion and PLLA molecular weight. A series of polymerizations conducted at various 1-dodecanol and stannous octoate concentrations suggested that stannous octoate does not act as an initiator by itself, and that the tin-alkoxide formed from 1-dodecanol and stannous octoate serves as the initiating species in scR22. While enhancements of the monomer conversion and PLLA molecular weight were observed with increasing monomer concentration, the chlorodifluoromethane concentration had the opposite on both. After the polymerization, PLLA microspheres were prepared in situ by using a continuous supercritical antisolvent process without residual organic solvent and monomer to yield highly purified microspheres for environmental and biomedical applications.

Comparison of oil-soluble and water-soluble initiation of styrene polymerization in a three-component microemulsion

The polymerization of styrene in three-component oil-in-water microemulsions made with the cationic surfactant dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide is studied by dilatometry and quasielastic light scattering as a function of type and concentration of initiator. Fast polymerization rates, high conversions, and high molecular weight polymers are achieved with both oil-soluble (AIBN) and water-soluble (potassium persulfate) initiators. The rate of polymerization shows initiation and termination intervals, but no constant-rate interval is observed. Stable monodisperse microlatexes are obtained with both types of initiators. For both AIBN and potassium persulfate, polystyrene molecular weight is proportional to initiator concentration [I]^–0.4 and particle radii decrease as [I]^–0.2. Polymerization initiation occurs in or at the microemulsion droplets, and polymer particles grow by recruiting monomer and surfactant from uninitiated swollen micelles.     

Synthesis of Acid Dyeable Acrylonitrile Copolymer

In this paper, a unique and updated technique was applied to obtain an acid dyeable copolymer of acrylonitrile by solution polymerization of acrylonitrile, and a kind of alkaline monomer F (N,N‐dialkylaminoethylacrylate). Azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was used as initiator to prepare the copolymer in sodium sulfocyanate aqueous solution. The effect of initiator concentration on the polymer's molecular weight and conversion during polymerization was studied. The relation between concentration of the alkaline monomer F and the polymer conversion, as well as the relation between concentration of the alkaline monomer F and the % dye‐uptake of the copolymer are discussed. The influence of pH was also researched. The structure of the copolymer was characterized by IR and NMR. The copolymer has excellent acid dyeable characteristics.
