Rational Design of Biomolecules/Polymer Hybrids by Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP) for Biomedical Applications

Hybrids, produced by hybridization of proteins, peptides, DNA, and other new biomolecules with polymers, often have unique functional properties. These properties, such as biocompatibility, stability and specificity, lead to various smart biomaterials. This review mainly introduces biomolecule-polymer hybrid materials by reversible deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP), emphasizing reverse addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization, and nitroxide mediated polymerization(NMP)....     

Recent Developments in Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP): Methods to Reduce Metal Catalyst Concentrations

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was initially developed in the mid‐1990s, and with continued refinement and use has led to significant discoveries in new materials. However, metal contamination of the polymer product is an issue that has proven detrimental to widespread industrial application of ATRP. The laboratories of K. Matyjaszewski have made significant progress towards removing this impediment, leading the development of “activators regenerated by electron transfer” ATRP (ARGET ATRP) and electrochemically mediated ATRP (eATRP) technologies. These variants of ATRP allow polymers to be produced with great molecular weight and functionality control but at significantly reduced catalyst concentrations, typically at parts per million levels. This Concept examines these polymerizations in terms of their mechanism and outcomes, and is aimed at giving the reader an overview of recent developments in the field of ATRP.     

有机催化剂存在下原位生成烷基碘化物的甲基丙烯酸甲酯的可逆-休眠自由基聚合

以四丁基溴化铵(BNBr)或四丁基碘化铵(BNI)作为有机催化剂,碘(I_2)与偶氮二异丁腈(AIBN)原位生成烷基碘化物为引发剂在本体聚合中实现了甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)的可逆催化络合聚合(RCMP).首先,比较了2种催化剂对该体系催化活性的大小,相同实验条件下,BNI作为催化剂时对聚合的控制效果优于BNBr,即在该体系中BNI的催化活性大于BNBr;其次,较为详细地研究了催化剂BNI的用量对MMA可控聚合的影响,结果表明,BNI的浓度在9.43~117.81 mmol/L范围内均有较好的控制效果,当[MMA]∶[I_2]∶[AIBN]∶[BNI]=100∶0.5∶0.75∶0.25,即催化剂的浓度为23.56 mmol/L时反应速率较快,理论分子量与实测分子量(通过GPC进行表征)几乎完全吻合,分子量多分散指数(PDI=M_w/M_n)较小(PDI1.27);最后,通过1H-NMR对所得聚合物的结构进行表征,证明为碘原子封端,M_(n,NMR)与M_(n,GPC)相吻合,端基保有度达到98.8%.     

Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization of Monomers Containing Activated Aziridine Groups

Polymers bearing activated aziridine groups are attractive precursors to α‐substituted‐β‐amino‐functionalized materials due to the enhanced reactivity of the pendant aziridine functionalities toward ring‐opening by nucleophiles. Two aziridine‐containing styrenic monomers, 2‐(4‐vinylphenyl)aziridine (VPA) and N‐mesyl‐2‐(4‐vinylphenyl)aziridine (NMVPA), were polymerized under a variety of reversible deactivation radical polymerization conditions. Low‐catalyst‐concentration atom transfer radical polymerization (LCC‐ATRP) and reversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT) polymerization were ineffective at producing well‐defined polymers from VPA due to side reactions between the aziridine functionalities and the agents controlling the polymerizations (catalysts or chain transfer agents). PolyVPA produced under nitroxide‐mediated polymerization (NMP) conditions had narrow molecular weight distribution at low to moderate conversions of monomer, but branched and eventually cross‐linked polymers were formed at higher conversions due to ring‐opening reactions of the aziridine groups. Most of these undesirable side reactions were eliminated by attaching a methanesulfonyl (mesyl) group to the aziridine nitrogen atom, and well‐defined linear homopolymers with targeted molecular weights were realized from NMVPA under RAFT and NMP conditions; however, side reactions between the aziridine groups and the catalyst in LCC‐ATRP still occured and the polymerization was uncontrolled using this technique.

     

Graft modification of chitosan,cellulose and alginate using reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP)

This perspective covers the most recent literature on the graft-modification of the natural polymers celluloses, chitosan and alginate through reversible deactivation radical polymerization (NMP, ATRP and RAFT). The different routes to obtain well-defined polysaccharide-based hybrids including “grafting from” and “grafting to” approaches, and their applications as composite, stimuli-responsive, and biomaterials are discussed.     

Copper‐Mediated Reversible Deactivation Radical Polymerization in Aqueous Media

Key advances within the past 10 years have transformed copper‐mediated radical polymerization from a technique which was not very tolerant of protic media into a range of closely related processes capable of controlling the polymerization of a wide range of monomers in pure water at ppm catalyst loadings. This approach has afforded water‐soluble macromolecules of desired molecular weight, architecture, and chemical functionality, with applications ranging from drug delivery to oil processing. In this Review we highlight and critically evaluate the synthetic methods that have been developed to control radical polymerization in water by using copper complexes as well as identify future areas of interest and challenges still to be overcome.     

自由基聚合近20年的发展

Molar Mass Dispersity Control by Iodine-mediated Reversible-deactivation Radical Polymerization

Dispersity(D)of polymers has a great effect on the properties of polymeric materials,and therefore how to control D is very important but still a huge challenge in polymer synthesis,especially for reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP)strategy.Herein,we successfully developed a novel strategy to adjust D of polymers by visible light-controlled reversible complexation mediated living radical polymerization(RCMP)and combination of single-electron transfer-degenerative chain transfer living radical polymerization(SET-DTLRP)at room temperature.In RCMP system,2-iodo-2-methylpropionitrile(CP-I)and ethyl 2-iodo-2-phenylacetate(EIPA)were used as alkyl iodide initiators,by using methyl methacrylate(MMA)as the model monomer and n-butylacrylate(BA)as the end-capping reagent to regulate D of polymers.Subsequently,we successfully prepared the block copolymer PMMA-b-PBA with adjustable D by reactivating the polymer end-chains via SET-DTLRP in the presence of copper wire,fully demonstrating that it is a promising strategy that can keep the"living"feature of polymers while regulating their molar mass dispersities easily.

Mechanistic Transformations Involving Radical and Cationic Polymerizations

Mechanistic transformation approach has been widely applied in polymer synthesis due to its unique feature combining structurally different polymers prepared by different polymerization mechanisms.Reported methods for the formation of block and graft copolymers through mechanistic transformation involve almost all polymerizations modes.However,certain polymerization processes require extensive purification processes,which can be time-consuming and problematic.Recent developments on controlled/living polymerizations involving radical and cationic mechanisms with the ability to control molecular weight and functionality led to new pathways for mechanistic transformations.In this mini-review,we systematically discussed relevant advances in the field through three main titles namely(i)from radical to cationic mechanism,(ii)from cationic to radical mechanism,and(iii)application of specific catalyst systems for both radical and cationic polymerizations.

Compartmentalization in Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) in Dispersed Systems

Summary: Compartmentalization in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in dispersed systems at low conversion (<10%) has been investigated by means of a modified Smith–Ewart equation focusing on the system n‐butyl acrylate/CuBr/4,4′‐dinonyl‐2,2′‐dipyridyl at 110 °C. Compartmentalization of both propagating radicals and deactivator was accounted for in the simulations. As the particle diameter (d) decreases below 70 nm, the polymerization rate (R_p) at 10% conversion increases relative to the corresponding bulk system, goes through a maximum at 60 nm, and thereafter decreases dramatically as d decreases further. This behavior is caused by the separate effects of compartmentalization (segregation and confined space effects) on bimolecular termination and deactivation. The very low R_p for small particles (d < 30 nm) is due to the pseudo first‐order deactivation rate coefficient being proportional to d⁻³.
