Tertiary amine-functionalized polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

The quantitative synthesis of tertiary amine-functionalized polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization is reported. Tertiary amine-functionalized polystyrene was prepared with the adduct of 1-(bromoethyl)benzene with 1-(4-dimethyl-aminophenyl)-1-phenylethylene as an initiator in the atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene in the presence of a copper (I) bromide/2,2′-bipyridyl catalyst system. The polymerization proceeded via a controlled free-radical polymerization process to afford quantitative yields of the corresponding tertiary amine-functionalized polystyrene with predictable number-average molecular weights (1600–4400), narrow molecular weight distributions (1.09–1.31), and an initiator efficiency of 0.95. The polymerization process was monitored by gas chromatographic analysis. The tertiary amine-functionalized polymers were characterized by thin-layer chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, potentiometry, and spectroscopy. All experimental evidence was consistent with quantitative functionalization via the 1,1-diphenylethylene derivative. Polymerization kinetic measurements showed that the polymerization reaction followed first-order-rate kinetics with respect to monomer consumption and that the number-average molecular weight increased linearly with monomer conversion. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Controlled radical copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-α-fluoroacrylate

Narrow disperse copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-α-fluoroacrylate have been prepared for the first time by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer pseudo-living radical polymerization in the presence of benzyl dithiobenzoate. The relative activities of the monomers indicating the occurrence of alternating copolymerization have been estimated. The copolymerization of equimolar N-vinylpyrrolidone-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-α-fluoroacrylate mixtures shows typical features of reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer pseudoliving radical polymerization: deceleration of polymerization compared to the classical radical process, degeneration of the gel effect, successive increase in the number-average molecular mass with conversion, and formation of narrow disperse copolymers.     

Kinetic modeling of two-step RAFT process for the production of novel fluorosilicone triblock copolymers

Well-defined poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutylmethacryl-ate-b-poly(styrene) (PDMS-b-PHFBMA-b-PS) triblock copolymers were prepared by two-step reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. A comprehensive mathematical model for the two-step RAFT polymerization in a batch reactor was presented using the method of moments. The model described molecular weight, monomer conversion and polydispersity index as a function of polymerization time. Good agreements in the polymerization kinetics were achieved for fitting the kinetic profiles with the suggested model. In addition, the model was used to predict the effects of initiator concentration, chain transfer agent concentration and monomer concentration on the two-step RAFT polymerization kinetics. The simulated results showed that for the two-step RAFT polymerizations, the effects initiator concentration, chain transfer agent concentration and monomer concentration are identical and the influence degrees are different yet.     

Free-Radical Modification of Polypropylene. I. Grafting of Poly(Ethyl Acrylate) on Atactic Polypropylene

The synthesis of atactic poly(propylene-g-ethyl acrylates) of [Mbar]_n ～ 3000–5000 has been accomplished with 80–90% incorporation of the backbone in the graft copolymer. The principle involves free radical initiation of ethyl acrylate polymerization with benzoyl peroxide via chain transfer. At low conversions (up to ～15%), massive homopolymerization took place and the initial rates of both homo- and graft copolymerizations were indistinguishable even with 1% initiator based on monomer. Grafting occurred at higher conversions and the [Mbar]_n of the grafted product increased with increasing initiator concentration for almost similar conversion data. The isothermal stability of the graft copolymer was far superior to that of atactic polypropylene. The initial decomposition temperature of the graft copolymers increased with increasing initiator amount used for grafting. It is proposed that the number of branches of poly (ethyl acrylate) increased, following the abstraction of an increasing number of tertiary hydrogen atoms from the backbone.     

Photoirradiated Fe-Mediated AGET ATRP of Methyl Methacrylate in the Presence of Alcohol

In this study, photoirradiated Fe-mediated AGET (activators generated by electron transfer) atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was investigated at ambient temperature in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) using carbon tetrachloride as initiator, FeCl₃·6H₂O/bipyridine (Bpy) as catalyst complex, and alcohol as reducing agent. Linear semi-logarithmic plot of conversion vs. time was obtained from the kinetic experiments, and the number-average molecular weight increased linearly with monomer conversion and corresponded to the theoretic values with molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n) as low as 1.25, which agreed with the character of controlled/living polymerization. The kinds of alcohol played an important role in photoirradiated Fe-mediated AGET ATRP of MMA. The living characteristics were demonstrated through chain extension experiment. The obtained polymer was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gel permeation chromatography.

Kinetics of the Photopolymerization of Vinyl Monomers by Bis(Isopropylxanthogen) Disulfide. Design of Block Copolymers

Bis(isopropylxanthogen) disulfide (BX) has been used as a photoinitiator with various vinyl monomers at 30°C. The kinetics of polymerization of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) at 30°C were studied for various concentrations of monomer and initiator. The observed deviations in polymerization rate from simple kinetic theory could be explained in terms of primary radical termination. The fraction of primary radical terminating chains was obtained as a function of various concentrations. The ratio of the rate constants for chain initiation and chain termination by a primary radical was determined to be 3.34 ± 10⁷ for St and 2.60 ± 10⁷ for MMA. The number-average degree of polymerization (DP _n) of polymers obtained by photopolym-erization with BX was found to increase linearly with conversion. However, the DP _n extrapolated to zero conversion was in good agreement with that calculated on the basis of the kinetic scheme. It was found that BX had interesting properties for the design of block copolymers, i.e., BX acts as a terminator and a chain transfer agent as well as an initiator in these polymerizations. The polymers obtained with BX contained two reactive isopropyl xanthate groups bonded at their chain ends, which could also act as macrophotoinitiators.     

SYNTHESIS OF HETEROARM STAR-SHAPED POLYMER BY THE USE OF POLYFUNCTIONAL CHAIN-TRANSFER AGENT via CONVENTIONAL FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

Heteroarm star-shaped polymers were synthesized by conventional free radical polymerization in two steps by the use of polyfunctional chain transfer agent.In the first step,free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate was carried out in the presence of a polyfunctional chain transfer agent,pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropinate).At appropriate monomer conversions,two-arm PMMA having two residual thiol groups at the chain center or three-arm PMMA having one residual thiol group at the core wer...     

Controlled free radical ring-opening polymerization and chain extension of the “living” polymer

Free radical ring-opening polymerization of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (MDP) in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy free radical (TEMPO) has been achieved to afford a chain polyester (PMDP) with di-t-butyl peroxide (DTBP) as an initiator at 125°C. The polydispersity of the polymers decreases as the concentration of TEMPO is increased. At high TEMPO concentrations, the polydispersity as low as 1.2 was obtained, which is below the theoretical lower limit for a conventional free radical polymerization. A linear relationship between the number-average molecular weight (M_n) and the monomer conversion was observed with the best-fit line passing very close to the origin of the M_n-conversion plot. The isolated and purified TEMPO-capped PMDP polymers have been employed to prepare chain extended polymers upon addition of more MDP monomer. These results are suggestive of the “living” polymerization process. A possible polymerization mechanism might involve thermal homolysis of the TEMPO-PMDP bonds followed by the addition of the monomers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Modeling stable free-radical polymerization

A kinetic model has been developed for stable free-radical polymerization (SFRP) processes by using the method of moments. This model predicts monomer conversion, number-average molecular weight, and polydispersity of molecular weight distribution. The effects of the concentrations of initiator, stable radical, and monomer, as well as the rate constants of initiation, propagation, termination, transfer, and the equilibrium constant between active and dormant species, are systematically investigated by using this model. It is shown that the ideal living-radical polymerization having a linear relationship between number-average molecular weight and conversion and a polydispersity close to unity is the result of fast initiation, slow propagation, absence of radical termination, and a high level of dormant species. Increasing stable radical concentration helps to reduce polydispersity but also decreases polymerization rate. Thermal initiation significantly broadens molecular weight distribution. Without the formation of dormant species, the model predicts a conventional free-radical polymerization. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 37: 2692–2704, 1999     

Efficient Synthesis of Poly(acrylic acid) in Aqueous Solution via a RAFT Process

The direct polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) in aqueous solution for high molecular weight by means of living radical polymerization is still difficult. Here, AA was polymerized homogeneously in water by a reversible addition-fragmentation transfer polymerization (RAFT) in the presence of a water-soluble trithiocarbonate as a RAFT agent. Various ratios [AA]:[RAFT agent] were investigated to aim at different molecular weights. The polymerization exhibited living free-radical polymerization characteristics at different ratios [AA]: [RAFT agent]: controlled molecular weight, low polydispersity and well-suited linear growth of the number-average molecular weight, M _n with conversion. The chain transfer to solvent or polymer was suppressed during the polymerization process, thus high linear PAA with high molecular weight and low PDI can be obtained. Moreover, using the generated PAA as a macro RAFT agent, the chain extension polymerization of PAA with fresh AA displayed controlled behavior, demonstrated the ability of PAA to reinitiate sequential polymerization.     

SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENT OF FREE RADICAL DECAY IN POLYMERIZATION OF MMA INITIATED BY AIBN USING ESR AND ITS KINETIC MODEL*

 The kinetics of free radical decay in the polymerization of MMA initiated by AIBN was studied by means of ESR spectroscopy. It was found that the curves of radical decay are strongly associated with the reaction temperature, the initiator concentration and the solvent. In the case of the radical polymerization carried out at high temperature or in solution, the radical concentration first reached a maximum, then declined monotonously with reaction time. It was also found that the greater the amount of initiator or the higher the temperature, the more rapidly the radicals decay. When the bulk polymerization was implemented at a relatively low temperature, the curves of radical decay became more complicated, i.e.,the radical concentration rapidly rose to a maximum, then dropped to a minimum, finally increased again with reaction time.Taking into account the diffusion effect, a semi-empirical equation is suggested to describe the kinetics of propagating radical decay.     

Mechanism of vinyl chloride polymerization

An overall mechanistic scheme for the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride is presented. The process can be resolved into five discrete stages, each of which presents a unique environment for the interaction of the systems parameters. It is shown that the surface area of the polymer formed during the reaction is not a major factor in autoacceleration and that the increase of kinetic chain length with conversion is due to a radical dilution effect. The latter is a direct result of the difference in rates between polymerization and radical formation, the former being greater. The increase of the initial polymerization rate and the reduction of autoacceleration brought about by chain transfer agents can be explained by the lower diffusion rate and greater bulkiness of the chain transfer agent radical relative to that of the monomer radical. The chaintransfer agent CBr₄ is preferentially absorbed by PVC from solution in vinyl chloride. With lauryl peroxide as initiator it is shown that the “hot spot” is the result of a build-up of initiator in the monomer caused by its exclusion from the polymer phase. Vinyl chloride was found to dissolve 0.03% PVC at ambient temperature and to have no effect on the decomposition rate of lauryl peroxide.

The Synthesis and Characterization of Polyacrolein through Radical Polymerization

A radical polymerization reaction of acrolein is reported in this article. The free radical initiator which can effectively promote the free radical polymerization of acrolein is screened out. The optimal conditions of the reaction are investigated and the yield could be up to 93.67%, in which the ratio of initiator to monomer is 1:50, monomer concentration is 7.5 mol L^?1, reaction temperature is 50 °C, and the reaction time is 6 h. The structure characterizations of the obtained polymers are performed using hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy, and matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time of fligh mass spectroscopy. The results show that the structure of the polymer contains fragments generated by decomposition of the initiator, aldehyde groups, and vinyl groups. The reaction mechanism of acrolein polymerization in the presence of free radical initiator is proposed. Thus, a novel method for the preparation of polyacrolein via radical polymerization is provided in this article.     

Copper‐mediated initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization of acrylonitrile

Initiators for continuous activator regeneration atom transfer radical polymerization technique was first accessed to acrylonitrile by using CuBr₂/2,2′‐bipyridine as the catalyst, ethyl 2‐bromoisobutyrate as the halogen initiator, and azobis(isobutyronitrile) as the free radical initiator. The key to success is ascribed to the facile achievement of the rapid equilibrium between active species and dormant species. Effects of ligand, catalyst concentration, free radical initiator concentration, and reaction temperature on the polymerization reaction and molecular weight (MW) as well as polydispersity index (PDI) were investigated in detail. The polymerization proceeded in a controlled/living fashion even though the concentration of copper catalyst decreased to 50 ppm, which is evident in pseudo first‐order kinetics of polymerization, linear increase of molecular weight, low PDI, and high chain‐end functionality of the generated polymer. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
