Calculation of the molecular-mass distribution for hyperbranched macromolecules synthesized by living three-dimensional radical polymerization

Kinetic analysis of the scheme underlying the formation of branched and hyperbranched macro- molecules formed by living three-dimensional radical po lymerization in the pregel period makes it possible to derive some theoretical dependences relating the conditions of polymerization and the molecular-mass distribution of polymers. In this case, a polymer product constitutes a mixture of macromolecules with different degrees of branching, and the fractional weight of macromolecules with hyperbranched structure is no more than one-third with respect to the overall polymer product.

Synthesis of a novel one‐pot approach of hyperbranched polyurethanes and their properties

A new method for the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers involving the use of AB_x macromonomers containing linear units have been investigated. Two types of novel hyperbranched polyurethanes have been synthesized by a one‐pot approach. The structures of monomers and polymers were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and thermogravimetric analysis. The hyperbranched polymers have been proven to be extremely soluble in a wide range of solvents. Polymer electrolytes were prepared with hyperbranched polymer, linear polymer as the host, and lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄) as the ion source. Analysis of the isotherm conductivity dependence of the ion concentration indicated that these hyperbranched polymers could function as a “solvent” for the lithium salt. The conductivity increased with the increasing concentration of hyperbranched polymers in the host polymer. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 344–350, 2002

Synthesis of Mesoporous Alumina Using Carboxyl Functional,Hyperbranched Polyesters as Templates

A series of mesoporous aluminas have been synthesized using commercial hyperbranched polyesters of the second to fourth generation as porogens. To achieve a suitable interaction between the polymer and the aluminium source, aluminium sec‐butoxide, the terminal hydroxyl groups of the hyperbranched polymer were first reacted by succinic anhydride. The mesoporous aluminas were analyzed by nitrogen adsorption/desorption, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). No dependence of the generation of the hyperbranched template on pore size was found in this study. Instead the pore size appears to depend on the amount of water added to the reaction mixture as well as the concentration of the hyperbranched polymer.

A facile synthetic strategy for hyperbranched polymer via combining free radical telomerization and polycondensation

A facile strategy combining free radical telomerization and polycondensation to prepare hyperbranched polymers was developed. By selecting a suitable telogen and a vinyl monomer, the product obtained by telomerization could be regarded as an AB_n type monomer for preparing a hyperbranched polymer via conventional polycondensation. The principles for selecting vinyl monomers and telogens were proposed. The feed ratio of vinyl monomer to telogen was discussed in the theory. For demonstrating the strategy, methyl (meth)acrylate (MA or MMA) and 2‐mercaptoethanol were used as a vinyl monomer and a telogen, respectively. The two‐unit adduct of MA or MMA obtained after purifying was regarded as a model ABB′ monomer. The sequential transesterification demonstrated that the carboxylate group at the terminal unit has higher reactivity than that at penultimate unit because of the different substituents at the respective α‐positions, resulting in lower degree of branching (DB) of obtained polymer. As substitutes, 2‐hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate and thioglycolic acid were used as a vinyl monomer and a telogen, respectively. The results showed that the hyperbranched polymer obtained by using pseudo one‐pot approach had moderate DB. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 7543–7555, 2008     

Synthesis of Hyperbranched Polyethylene Amphiphiles by Chain Walking Polymerization in Tandem with RAFT Polymerization and Supramolecular Self‐Assembly Vesicles

A novel polymerization methodology for efficient synthesis of hyperbranched polyethylene amphiphiles by chain walking polymerization (CWP) followed by RAFT polymerization has been developed. Hyperbranched polyethylene with hydroxyl ends (HBPE‐OHs) is first synthesized via chain walking copolymerization of ethylene with 2‐hydroxyethyl acrylate with Pd‐α‐diimine catalyst. The hydroxyl groups of hyperbranched polyethylene are then converted into thiocarbonyl thio moieties by an esterification reaction with trithiocarbonate 3‐benzylsulfanylthiocarbonyl sulfanylpropionic acid (BSPA). The hyperbranched polyethylene with thiocarbonyl thio moiety ends (HBPE‐BSPAs) is used as a macro‐RAFT agent for the synthesis of hyperbranched polyethylene amphiphiles, HBPE‐PDMAEMAs, by RAFT polymerization of N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). The resultant HBPE‐PDMAEMAs can self‐assemble to form supramolecular polymer vesicles in aqueous solution. A preliminary investigation on thermo‐ and pH‐responsive behaviors of the polymer is also reported.

A new triphenylamine-based hyperbranched polyfluorene with oxadiazole units on its side chains

A new triphenylamine-based hyperbranched polymer with electron deficient units of oxadiazole on its side chains was successfully prepared by a modified Suzuki polycondensation with Pd(PPh₃)₄ as a catalyst, K₂CO₃ as a base, and a mixture of THF/toluene (1:1) as the solvent. The electron deficient units of oxadiazole were used to improve the electron injection and transport of the polymer. The results of the cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the polymer indicate that the HOMO and LUMO energy levels match well with the work function of the ITO/PEDOT anode and the metal cathode, respectively. Moreover, the hyperbranched polymer shows blue-emission and the hyperbranched structure effectively suppressed the formation of the aggregates/excimers in the polymer film.

Triazatruxene-containing hyperbranched polymers: Microwave-assisted synthesis and optoelectronic properties

Hyperbranched polymer structures represent a class of high-functionality building blocks with excellent three-dimensional topology for the construction of highly substituted conjugated polymers. In this contribution, an efficient microwave synthesis protocol toward the synthesis of conjugated hyperbranched polymers is presented. A novel series of soluble hyperbranched polyfluorenes (PTF1-PTF3) incorporating triazatruxene moiety as the branch units with various branching degrees have thus been successfully constructed with good yields and high molecular weight via a facile “A2+B2+C3” approach. The structures of the hyperbranched polymers were confirmed by NMR and GPC. Their thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties of the hyperbranched polymers were also investigated. The results showed that introduction of triazatruxene units into the hyperbranched structure endowed the polymer with good thermal stability and highly amorphous properties. Photophysical investigation of PTFx revealed strong blue emission in both solution and solid states. Hyperbranched polymers with higher degree of branching and proper content of linear fluorene units exhibited better photophysical properties in terms of narrow emission spectra and relatively high quantum efficiency as well as improved thermal spectral stability. The triazatruxene branching unit also played a role in raising the HOMO energy levels relative to those of polyfluorenes that would help to improve the charge injection and transport properties. The incorporation of triazatruxene unit into hyperbranched polymers has thus explored an effective avenue for constructing optoelectronic polymers with improved functional characteristics.     

s-Triazine containing flame retardant hyperbranched polyamines: Synthesis, characterization and properties evaluation

A s-triazine containing hyperbranched polyamine (HBPA) has been synthesized from cyanuric chloride and aromatic diamine, 4,4′-(1,4-phenylenediisopropylidene) bis-aniline by nucleophilic displacement polymerization technique using an A₂ + B₃ approach with high yield (>80%). The synthesized polymer has been characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopic studies, elemental analysis, solubility and measurement of solution viscosity. The thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies indicate that the polymer is thermostable upto 290 °C without any decomposition and has glass transition temperature of 243 °C. The flame retardancy of the pure powder polymer and the blends with linear commercial polymers such as plasticized PVC and LDPE with this hyperbranched polymer were investigated by the measurement of limiting oxygen index (LOI) value. The results show that the polymer has self-extinguishing characteristic (LOI = 38) and acts as an effective flame retardant additive for the above linear base polymers. The synergistic effect of this hyperbranched flame retardant was observed with triphenyl phosphine oxide in the same base polymers. The flammability efficiency of the hyperbranched polyamine is also evaluated by help of thermogravimetric (TG) analysis. The heat aging and leaching in different chemical media did not influence the flame retardancy of the blends.     

Synthesis and characterization of highly stable blue‐light‐emitting hyperbranched conjugated polymers

Polyfluorene homopolymer ( P1 ) and its carbazole derivatives ( P2 – P4 ) have been prepared with good yield by Suzuki coupling polymerization. P2 is an alternating copolymer based on fluorene and carbazole; P3 is a hyperbranched polymer with carbazole derivative as the core and polyfluorene as the long arms; P4 is a hyperbranched polymer with carbazole derivative as the core and the alternating fluorene and carbazole as the long arms. These polymers show highly thermal stability, and their structures and physical properties are studied using gel permeation chromatography, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, UV–vis absorption, photoluminescence, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The influence of the incorporation of carbazole and the hyperbranched structures on the thermal, electrochemical, and electroluminescent properties has been investigated. Both carbazole addition and the hyperbranched structure increase the thermal and photoluminescent stability. The CV shows an increase of the HOMO energy levels for the derivatives, compared with polyfluorene homopolymer ( P1 ). The EL devices fabricated by these polymers exhibit pure blue‐light‐emitting with negligible low‐energy emission bands, indicating that the hyperbranched structure has a strong effect on the PLED characteristics. The results imply that incorporating carbazole into polyfluorene to form a hyperbranched structure is an efficient way to obtain highly stable blue‐light‐emitting conjugated polymers, and it is possible to adjust the property of light‐emitting polymers by the amount of carbazole derivative incorporated into the polymers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
