The amphiphilic π-shaped copolymers with narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn = 1.04-1.09) based on polystyrene (PSt) and poly(ethylene glycol) have been synthesized successfully. The reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization of St in the presence of dibenzyl trithiocarbonate and N,N′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) yielded macro RAFT agent PSt-SC(S)S-PSt, subsequent reaction with excess maleic anhydride (MAh) at 80 °C in tetrahydrofuran afforded the PSt-MAh-SC(S)S-MAh-PSt. It was used as RAFT agent in the RAFT polymerization of St, and finally the amphiphilic π-shaped copolymers were obtained by the reaction of MAh with hydroxyl-terminated poly(ethylene glycol methyl ether) at 90 °C for 48 h. Their structures were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectra, and their molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were measured by gel permeation chromatography. 相似文献
Forced ideal carbocationic copolymerization of α-methylstyrene (αMeSt) with p-tert-butylstyrene (ptBuSt) and (αMeSt) with styrene (St) has been achieved by continuous monomer feed addition to a cumyl chloride/BCl3 charge at -50°C by keeping the feeding rate of the monomer mixtures equal to the overall rate of copolymerization, The composition of the copolymers was identical to the composition of the monomer feeds over the entire concentration range. A quantitative expression has been derived to show that under forced ideal copolymerization conditions the composition of the copolymer can be controlled by the composition of the feed. Further, conditions have been found for forced ideal quasiliving copolymerizations, i.e., the number-average molecular weight of the copolymers increased almost linearly with the cumulative weight of consumed monomers by the use of suitably slow, continuous feed addition in the presence of relatively nonpolar solvent mixtures (60/40 v/v n-hexane + methylene chloride). In polar solvent (methylene chloride) the molecular weight increase was less pronounced due to chain transfer to monomer involving indane-skeleton formation; however, with charges containing large amounts of ptBuSt the molecular weight increase was surprisingly strong. Interestingly, ptBuSt does not homopolymerize in 60/40 v/v n-hexane/methylene chloride but it readily copolymerizes with αMeSt. This observation was explained by examining the relative rates of terminations of the cationic species involved. Conditions have been found for the pronounced quasiliving polymerization of St. In forced ideal quasiliving copolymerizations neither the molecular weights of αMeSt/ptBuSt or αMeSt/St copolymers nor the initiating efficiencies of the initiating systems used show a depression. The microstructure of representative αMeSt/ptBuSt copolymers obtained under forced ideal quasiliving conditions has been analyzed by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. According to these studies, true copolymers have formed and resonance peaks for various triads have been deduced. 相似文献
The copolymerization of styrene (St) with maleic anhydride (MAh) under gamma radiation at room temperature inthe presence of benzyl dithiobenzoate (BDTB) was found to display "living" nature evidenced by constant concentration ofchain radicals during the copolymerization, linear evolution of molecular weights with conversion and narrow molecularweight distribution (M_w/M_n = 1.23-1.35). The compositional analysis and the sequence structural information of thecopolymers obtained from DEPT (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer) experiments demonstrate that thecopolymers obtained also possess strictly alternating structure. 相似文献
Amphiphilic biodegradable (PCL-PEG-PCL) triblock copolymers have been successfully prepared by the ring opening polymerization of ?-caprolactone (CL) in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) at 80°C employing Maghnite-H+ a non-toxic Montmorillonite clay as catalyst. Maghnite-H+ reacts as a solid source of protons to induce ?-caprolactone polymerization. The triblock architecture, molecular weight and thermal properties of the copolymers were characterized by NMR spectra, GPC and DSC analyses. The effect of Maghnite-H+ proportion and PEGs on the rate of copolymerization and on average molecular weight of resulting copolymers was studied. A cationic mechanism for the copolymerization reaction was proposed. 相似文献
Poly(methyl acrylate)-b-poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone/maleic anhydride/styrene) (PMA-b-P (NVP/MAH/St)) quaternary amphiphilic block copolymer prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) was used to improve the anti-hydrolysis and dispersion properties of aluminum nitride (AIN) powders that were modified by copolymers. Its structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (1H-NMR). The results demonstrate that the molecular weight distribution of the quaternary amphiphilic block copolymers is 1.35–1.60, which is characteristic of controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution. Through charge transfer complexes, NVP/MAH/St produces a regular alternating arrangement structure. After being treated with micro-crosslinking, AlN powder modified by copolymer PMA-b-P(NVP/MAH/St) exhibits outstanding resistance to hydrolysis and can be stabilized in hot water at 50 °C for more than 14 h, and the agglomeration of powder particles was improved remarkably. 相似文献
The copolymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and styrene (St) under the action of the second-stage potassium graphitide KC24 was investigated. The copolymerizations were carried out in bulk or in xylene at 20°C. The content of the block copolymer ε-CL/D4 in the polymerization mixture was 60–95%, the molecular weight ranging between 150,000 and 300,000. The data for the copolymers' composition obtained by 1H-NMR and GPC showed 14–20% of D4-units in the copolymer. The amount of the block copolymer ε-CL/St in the polymerization products was 0–87%, and the molecular weights in the case of copolymer formation were between 100,000 and 500,000. The content of St-units in the copolymers was from 10 to 75% as shown by GPC and 1H-NMR. The mechanism of action of the initiator is discussed. 相似文献
The first example of organostibine mediated controlled/living random copolymerization of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was achieved by heating a solution of St/MMA/organostibine mediator at 100 °C or St/MMA/organostibine mediator/AIBN with various monomer feed ratios at 60 °C. The addition of AIBN significantly decreased the reaction temperature and enhanced the rate of copolymerization. The structure of poly(St-co-MMA) was verified by 1H NMR. The reactivity ratios at 60 °C were determined by the extended Kelen-Tüd?s method to be γSt = 0.40 and γMMA = 0.44. The ln([M]0/[M]) increased linearly with increasing reaction time. The number-average molecular weights of poly(St-co-MMA) increased linearly with conversion. Poly(St-co-MMA) with expected number-average molecular weight and low polydispersity index was formed. The living characteristic was further confirmed by chain-extension of poly(St-co-MMA) to form poly(St-co-MMA)-b-PMMA. 相似文献
In bulk polymerization and copolymerization of trioxane with ethylene oxide, it has been shown that p-chlorophenyldiazonium hexafluorophosphate is a superior catalyst as compared to boron trifluoride dibutyl etherate (BF3 · Bu2O). Polymers and copolymers of significantly higher molecular weight have been obtained. The higher molecular weight has been attributed primarily to less inherent chain transfer during propagation, which in turn can be attributed to the superior gegenion PF6?. The polymerization proceeds via a clear period followed by sudden solidification. Faster polymerization and higher molecular weight polymers have been observed for homopolymerization than for copolymerization. The polymer yield obtained after solidification is determined by both rate of polymerization and rate of crystallization of polymers. These rates, in turn, are dependent on the catalyst concentration. The molecular weight is determined both by polymer yield and extent of inherent chain transfer. In the range of monomer to catalyst mole ration [M]/[C] = (0.5–20) × 104 investigated, it has been found that in the higher range, the polymer yield is independent of the catalyst concentration and the extent of inherent chain transfer is inversely proportional to the half power of catalyst concentration: [M]/[C] = (0.5–8) × 104 for homopolymerization and (0.5–3) × 104 for copolymerization with 4.2 mole % ethylene oxide. In the lower range, the yield decreases with catalyst concentration and the extent of inherent chain transfer is inversely proportional to higher power of catalyst concentration. The dependence of molecular weight of polymers on catalyst concentration has been shown to be a complex one. The molecular weight goes through a maximum as the catalyst concentration is decreased. The maximum molecular weights have been obtained at [M]/[C] ≈ 8 × 104 for homopolymerization and ~3 × 104 for copolymerization with 4.2 mole % ethylene oxide. Prior to reaching maximum the molecular weight is inversely proportional to the half power of catalyst concentration indicating it is primarily controlled by inherent chain transfer. Upon further decrease of catalyst, molecular weight decreases as a result of both a decrease in polymer yield and an increase in inherent chain transfer. In copolymerization of trioxane and ethylene oxide, it has been ascertained that methylene chloride exhibits a favorable solvating effect. Although higher inherent chain transfer takes place in copolymerization than in homopolymerization, the extent of chain transfer is independent of ethylene oxide concentration. The difference in polymer yield and molecular weight a t different ethylene oxide concentrations is attributed primarily to the difference in kp/kt ratio. It also has been demonstrated that end capping of polymer chains can be accomplished by the use of a chain transfer agent—methylal. 相似文献
Co polymerization of styrene (St) and isoprene (IP) was carried out with a catalyst system composed of anhydrous lanthanide chloride hexamethyl phosphor amide complex (LnC13‐HMPA) and aluminum organic compound (AOC). Among the catalysts examined, catalyst NdC13*HMPA/Al(i‐Bu)3 showed a high activity in the copolymerization under certain conditions giving copolymers (5%‐158 St content) with high cis‐1, 4 microstructure in IP Units (>95%). The effects of HMPA/Nd molar ratio, Al/Nd molar ratio, monomer/Nd molar ratio, St feed ratio, and the reaction time on copolymerization were examined with this catalytic system. The obtained copolymers were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and gel‐permeation chromatography (GPC). 相似文献
Copolymerization of acetylenic monomers and 1,3-dienes was carried out by use of nickel naphthenate–diethylaluminum chloride catalyst. The molecular weight of the copolymers is rather low, and the copolymers are suitable as prepared for direct use as coating vehicles. In the system of acetylene and 1,3-dienes, the order of the copolymerization rate decreases in the following order: butadiene > isoprene > 2,3-dimethylbutadiene > chloroprene. 1,3-Dienes substituted at 1-and/or 4-position were scarcely copolymerized with acetylene. Methylacetylene and dienes tend to form cyclized copolymers. In the system of phenylacetylene and dienes, polyphenylacetylene was the main product; the copolymer was not obtained. The copolymer composition and the sequence distribution of linear copolymers were evaluated by 1H-NMR spectra. Comparison of dyad fractions of copolymers evaluated from NMR spectra and those calculated by assuming random polymerization indicated that the copolymers of acetylene and dienes were random, and that the copolymers of methylacetylene and dienes were somewhat blocky. The coordination of monomers on the catalyst may play an important role in controlling the copolymerizability. 相似文献
