Synthesis and characterization of linear ABC triblock copolymer of ethylene oxide,methyl methacrylate,and styrene

A well‐defined linear ABC triblock copolymer of ethylene oxide (EO), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and styrene (St) was prepared by sequential living anionic and photo‐induced charge transfer polymerization (CTP) using p‐aminophenol as parent compound. In the first step, the diblock copolymer of PEO‐b‐PMMA with a protected aniline end group at PEO end was prepared by initiating of phenoxo‐anion the polymerization of EO and MMA successively, then the diblock copolymer of PEO‐b‐PMMA via deprotection of aniline at PEO end constituted a binary initiation system with benzophenone (BP) by charge transfer complex mechanism to initiate the polymerization of St under UV‐irradiation. The GPC and NMR measurements support that in copolymerization, either in the first or second step, neither homopolymer nor side reactions, such as chain transfer or chain termination, was found. The effect of the concentration of PEO_a‐b‐PMMA and St, and the polarity of solvent on the polymerization rate (R_p) of CTP is discussed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Preparation of P4VP-g-PSt Copolymer Microspheres with Controllable Size by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization Synthesized Poly(4-vinylpyridine) Macromonomer

Poly(4‐vinylpyridine) macromonomer (St‐P4VP) with a styryl end group was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 4‐vinylpyridine using p‐(chloromethyl)styrene (CMSt) as functional initiator, CuCl as catalyst and tris[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me₆TREN) as ligand in 2‐propanol. The structure of St‐P4VP macromonomer was identified by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR). The result of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) illustrated that the number‐average molecular weight of St‐P4VP could be controlled by adjusting polymerization conditions. Poly(4‐vinylpyridine) grafted polystyrene microspheres (P4VP‐g‐PSt) were then prepared by dispersion copolymerization of styrene with St‐P4VP macromonomers. The effects of polymerization reaction parameters such as medium polarity, concentration of St‐P4VP macromonomer and polymerization temperature on the sizes and size distribution of P4VP‐g‐PSt microspheres were investigated. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser light scattering (LLS) indicated that mono‐dispersed P4VP‐g‐PSt microspheres with average diameters of 100–200 nm could be obtained when the molar ratio of St to St‐P4VP was 0.25:100 in ethanol/water mixed solvents (V/V=80:20) at 60°C. Such kind of graft copolymer microspheres was expected to be applied to many fields such as drug delivery system and protein adsorption/separation system due to their particular structure.

A novel azo‐containing dithiocarbamate used for living radical polymerization of methyl acrylate and styrene

A novel azo‐containing dithiocarbamate, 1‐phenylethyl N,N‐(4‐phenylazo) phenylphenyldithiocarbamate (PPADC), was successfully synthesized and used to mediate the polymerization of methyl acrylate (MA) and styrene (St). In the presence of PPADC, the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was well controlled in the case of MA, however, the slightly ill‐controlled in the case of St. Interestingly, the polymerization of St could be well‐controlled when using PPADC as the initiator in the presence of CuBr/PMDETA via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. In the cases of RAFT polymerization of MA and ATRP of St, the kinetic plots were both of first‐order, and the molecular weight of the polymer increased linearly with the monomer conversion while keeping the relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w/M_n). The molecular weight of the polymer measured by gel permeation chromatographer (GPC) was also close to the theoretical value (M_n(th)). The obtained polymer was characterized by ¹H‐NMR analysis, ultraviolet absorption, FTIR spectra analysis and chain‐extension experiments. Furthermore, the photoresponsive behaviors of azobenzene‐terminated poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and polystyrene (PS) were similar to PPADC. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

CONTROLLED SEQUENTIAL AND RANDOM RADICAL COPOLYMERIZATION OF STYRENE AND BUTYL METHACRYLATE BY ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

Diblock copolymers containing polystyrene(PSt) and polybutyl methacrylate(PBMA) segments and random copolymer of styrene (St) and butyl methacrylate(BMA) have been prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP).Diblock copolymers of BMA and St with predetermined molecular weight(1×10^4-6.5×10^4) and narrower molecular weight distribution(1.25-1.5) were obtained.The random copolymer compositions were determined by ^1HNMR spectroscopy and the reactivity ratios were evaluated by the extended Kelen-Tudos method to be YSt=0.91,YBMA=0.32.     

Iron-mediated AGET ATRP of styrene and methyl methacrylate using ascorbic acid sodium salt as reducing agent

Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene(St) and methyl methacrylate(MMA) in bulk and in different solvents using activators generated by electron transfer(AGET ATRP) were investigated in the presence of a limited amount of air using FeCl3·6H2O as the catalyst, ascorbic acid sodium salt(AsAc-Na) as the reducing agent, and a cheap and commercially available tetrabutylammonium bromide(TBABr) as the ligand. It was found that polymerization in THF resulted in shorter induction period than that in bulk and in toluene for AGET ATRP of St, while referring to AGET ATRP of MMA, polymerization in THF showed three advantages compared with that in bulk and toluene: 1) shortening the induction period, 2) enhancing the polymerization rate and 3) having better controllability. The living features of the obtained polymers were verified by chain end analysis and chain-extension experiments.     

Charges of soluble amphiphiles and particles: random and diblock copolymerizations of MAA/AAm,MAA/St,and MAA/4VP in ethanol

Random and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerizations of methacrylic acid (MAA)/acrylamide (AAm), MAA/styrene (St), and MAA/4-vinyl pyridine (4VP) were carried out in ethanol. (CPDB)-terminated PMAA (PMAA-CPDB) and 2,2′-azobis(2,4-diemthylvaleronitrile) (V-65) was used as the macromolecular chain transfer agent (CTA) and initiator, respectively. Electric conductivity of copolymerization systems was traced throughout the polymerizations, and charges of soluble copolymer and particles were detected. As a result, a considerable increase of conductivity was observed in all of the RAFT polymerization systems, whereas the variation of conductivity in the random copolymerization systems was insignificant. The high conductivity of RAFT polymerization was dominantly contributed by the soluble diblock copolymers in the serum, rather than their particles, except for P(MAA-b-4VP) where only the particles was obtained due to the zwitterionic interactions of PMAA segments and 4VP. In the direct current (DC) field, the behavior of these soluble diblock copolymers, P(MAA-b-AAM) and P(MAA-b-St), indicated that they were positively charged, whereas the particles of (PMAA-b-AAm) and P(MAA-b-4VP) were surprisingly negatively charged, though the composition of MAA was dominant. Soluble random copolymers of P(MAA-co-St) and P(MAA-co-4VP) represented the charge neutrality. These results indicated that the positive charges were contributed by the solvophobic block in the soluble diblock copolymers. Therefore, the diblock copolymers were the macrodipoles boosting the conductivity of solution. Meanwhile, it indicated that the electrostatic interactions of dipoles were possibly the main driving force of their self-assembly. Generally, compared with RAFT polymerization, the particles were hard to be prepared in the random copolymerization. It implies that the electrostatic interactions of diblock copolymers also played an important role in the particle formation.

苯乙烯-甲基丙烯酸甲酯悬浮-乳液复合聚合过程中聚合物复合粒子组成的变化

采用苯乙烯(St)悬浮聚合过程中滴加甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)乳液聚合组分,悬浮乳液复合聚合(SECP)方法,制备大粒径聚苯乙烯聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PS- PMMA)复合粒子.采用FTIR、1H- NMR、13C- NMR分析方法,研究SECP各个时期复合粒子中MMA- St链节摩尔比,发现悬浮粒子中MMA St链节摩尔比逐渐增大,而PMMA乳胶粒子中逐渐减少,表明悬浮相和乳液相间存在物质传递过程.悬浮粒子中MMA链节质量与MMA总投料质量比主要由乳胶粒子生成速率和乳胶粒子向悬浮粒子凝聚速率决定.最终得到的复合粒子除含PS和PMMA均聚物外,还含少量MMA-St共聚物.

甲基丙烯酸甲酯的反向原子转移自由基聚合反应 研究

在较低的温度(60℃)和较低的AIBN/CuCl~2/配位剂摩尔比(1:2:4)条件下,用乙腈为溶剂,实现了甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)的反向原子转移自由基聚合(RATRP)。联二吡啶(bpy)为配位剂时,所合成的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)的分子量分布可低至1.08。用1,10-菲咯啉(phen)代替bpy,MMA的聚合反应速率加快,但其分子量分布稍宽(1.40左右),并进一步研究了bpy和phen作为混合配位剂时对MMA反向ATRP聚合的影响。用RATRP反应所得的带有卤素端基的PMMA作为苯乙烯ATRP的大分子引发剂,成功地合成了具有预期结构的苯乙烯与甲基丙烯酸甲酯嵌段共聚物,大分子引发剂的引发效率接近于1,说明在RATRP过程中由自由基引发剂引发MMA进行一般自由基聚合反应的可能性甚微。     

1,3—戊二烯／苯乙烯阳离子共聚合反应

Dendrimer‐star polymer and block copolymer prepared by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with dendritic chain transfer agent

A new reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent, dendritic polyester with 16 dithiobenzoate terminal groups, was prepared and used in the RAFT polymerization of styrene (St) to produce star polystyrene (PSt) with a dendrimer core. It was found that this polymerization was of living characters, the molecular weight of the dendrimer‐star polymers could be controlled and the polydispersities were narrow. The dendrimer‐star block copolymers of St and methyl acrylate (MA) were also prepared by the successive RAFT polymerization using the dendrimer‐star PSt as macro chain transfer agent. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Amphoteric initiators suitable for emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and the properties of the resulting latices

The soap-free emulsion polymerizations of styrene (St) and acrylamide (AAm) or methyl methacrylate (MMA) were carried out in the presence of three kinds of amphoteric initiators, and the polymerization kinetics and the colloidal properties of the latices produced were emphatically investigated. It was found that the number of carbon atoms between the amidino and carboxyl groups in each initiator exhibited an appreciable effect on the dissociation as well as on the solubility of the initiator in water, and therefore, that the properties of the colloidal particles depended on the structure of the initiators used. All the copolymerization runs, except for the polymerization using 2,2′-azobis(N-(2-caboxyethyl)-2-methylpropionamidine) under a strongly alkali condition, gave amphoteric latices, which indicated higher critical flocculation concentrations at lower or higher pHs than at a medium pH. The surface charge density measured by titration for poly(St/MMA) particles was about 3–10 times as high as that for the poly(St/AAm) ones, though these were prepared under the same conditions other than the monomer composition. The influence of the polymerization pH on both the polymerization rate and the surface charge density of the resulting latices was negligible even if the constants of the decomposition rate and the dissociation of the amphoteric initiators strongly depended on the pH of the medium.

Initiation of polymerization of methyl methacrylate by oxalic acid and iron(III) mixtures

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate either by free radical or charge transfer mechanism has been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide at 60° in the presence of oxalic acid and hexakis dimethylsulphoxide iron(III) perchlorate, [Fe(DMSO)₆](ClO₄)₃. Increased rate was noticed for 1:1 mole ratio of oxalic acid to Fe³⁺ for charge transfer polymerization; a well defined induction period was found for free radical polymerization in the same systems. Mechanisms for the two types of reaction are proposed. The rate constant for the interaction of poly(methyl methacrylate) radical with the iron-oxalate complex was found to be 1.52 × 10⁵ l. mol^?1 sec^?1 at 60°.
