用聚合反应动力学模型, 详细分析了AB_g型缩聚体系中各种结构单元的演变, 对超支化聚合物支化度的各种定义作了比较, 并对AB_g型反应体系的支化度提出了一个改进的定义, 使得支化度随g的增加而增加, 当g从2增加到无穷大, 最大支化度相应地从0.5增加到1－e^－1. 对均方回转半径的数值计算表明, 在确定的A基团转化率(x), z-均均方回转半径几乎与g无关, 当x＝0.999时, 随着g从2增加到无穷大, z-均回转半径只增加0.1%. 但是, 同样的条件下, z-均聚合度增加到2倍. 这一现象表明在任何指定的A转化率, AB_g型缩聚中形成的超支化聚合物的分子轮廓与g无关, 随着g 增大而在超支化聚合物中增加的结构单元(或聚合度)必定分布在分子内部.

Universality in Branching Frequencies and Molecular Dimensions during Hyperbranched Polymer Formation: Step Polymerization of AB2 Type Monomer with Equal Reactivity

Hyperbranched polymer formation during step polymerization of AB₂ type monomer with equal reactivity of two B's is investigated theoretically, focusing the attention to the degree of branching (DB) and the mean square radius of gyration for the unperturbed chains, . It is found that the DB‐value at large degree of polymerization (P) limit, = 0.5 is unchanged during the whole course of polymerization. The average value of having the same P is invariant throughout the polymerization. The universal curve between and P agrees perfectly with that for the self‐condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP), another method to synthesize hyperbranched polymers, when the reactivity ratio for SCVP, r_SCVP, is 2.589 that gives = 0.5. The power law, is found for large values of P.

     

Hyperbranched Polymers by Type II Photoinitiated Self‐Condensing Vinyl Polymerization

Type II photoinitiated self‐condensing vinyl polymerization for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers is explored using 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) or 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), and methyl methacrylate as hydrogen donating inimers and comonomer, respectively, in the presence of benzophenone and camphorquinone under UV and visible light. Upon irradiation at the corresponding wavelength, the excited photoinitiator abstracts hydrogen from HEMA or DMAEMA leading to the formation of initiating radicals. Depending on the concentration of inimers, type of the photoinitiator, and irradiation time, hyperbranched polymers with different branching densities and cross‐linked polymers are formed.

     

Hyperbranched Polymers Formed through Irreversible Step Polymerization of AB2‐Type Monomer in a Continuous Flow Stirred‐Tank Reactor (CSTR)

Hyperbranched polymers formed through step polymerization of AB₂‐type monomer with equal reactivity for both B groups in a continuous flow stirred‐tank reactor (CSTR) are investigated theoretically. The weight fraction distribution at high molecular weight tail follows a power law, W (P ) ∝ P ^−1/ξ for ξ ≤ 0.5 with , where is the mean residence time. The degree of branching (DB) at the large degree of polymerization (P ) limit is DB _{P →∞} = 0.6 irrespective of the ξ‐value, which is larger than the case for the corresponding batch polymerization that gives DB _{P →∞} = 0.5. The relationship between the radius of gyration 〈s ²〉₀ and P shows that the hyperbranched polymers formed in a CSTR are very compact, and the 〈s ²〉₀‐values for large polymers are even smaller than the smallest possible case for a batch reactor with DB _{P →∞} = 1. For large polymers, the power law 〈s ²〉₀∝P ^1/3 holds, which is 〈s ²〉₀∝P ^1/2 for batch polymerization.

     

Hyperbranched Polymers Formed Through Irreversible Step Polymerization of AB2‐Type Monomer with Substitution Effect in a Continuous Flow Stirred‐Tank Reactor (CSTR)

A new Monte Carlo simulation method is proposed for the step polymerization of AB₂‐type monomer conducted in a continuous flow stirred‐tank reactor (CSTR). The effect of the second B group reactivity, represented by the reactivity ratio r is investigated. The degree of branching (DB) at large degree of polymerization (P ) limit, DB_{P →∞} does not change with the mean residence time . The value of DB_{P →∞} becomes larger by increasing r and is larger than the corresponding batch polymerization. The weight fraction distribution at high molecular weight tail follows a power law , and a simple formula to predict the power exponent α is proposed. The relationship between the radius of gyration 〈s ²〉₀ and P does not change with , and large polymers obtained in a CSTR are much more compact than those formed in batch polymerization. CSTR is advantageous to synthesize compact HB polymers, especially with a smaller r‐value.
