苯乙烯阴离子本体聚合引发剂缔合及其机理的研究

分别以正丁基锂和叔丁基锂为引发剂,采用自制管式流动反应装置,对较高温度下苯乙烯阴离子本体聚合动力学进行了研究.证实了正丁基锂主要以六元缔合结构形式引发聚合,并导致超分子团聚体的形成,从而使进一步的聚合因单体扩散受阻而受到限制,并伴随聚合转化率停滞平台（SCP）的产生.随后由于前期聚合累积的能量,使超分子结构完全解离.聚合温度越高,SCP持续时间越短.结果还表明,在正丁基锂引发剂中,存在一个以六元缔合结构为基础形成的更大的缔合体结构.原子力显微镜照片显示,超分子结构的直径分别为20～30nm和50～60nm.此外,在阴离子聚合过程中活性种的缔合结构只决定于初始引发剂的分子结构,而不同活性种缔合结构对阴离子聚合的链增长存在很大影响,从而解释了采用不同结构的锂系引发剂引发苯乙烯单体聚合时聚合速率存在巨大差异的原因.

Modeling of Anionic Polymerization of Isoprene in an Industrial Reactor

One of the most important reasons for modeling polymerization processes is to provide a tool for estimating the risks of runaway reactions in polymer industry. This is especially important for batch processes, such as anionic polymerization of isoprene or butadiene. This work presents a theoretical and experimental research of the anionic polymerization of isoprene using cyclohexane as solvent and n‐butyllithium as initiator. In the first part, a phenomenological kinetic expression is obtained that describes the anionic polymerization of isoprene initiated by n‐butyllithium in cyclohexane. In the second, the mass and energy balance equations are solved to model the anionic polymerization of isoprene in a quasi‐adiabatic batch reactor. Adjustment of reactor parameters is made using the data obtained from a laboratory reactor. The proposed model predicts adequately the obtained temperature, pressure, and conversion profiles from this set of experiments. Finally, a mathematical model is developed to predict the behavior for the anionic polymerization of isoprene in an industrial reactor.

On the behavior of organophosphorus lactam derivatives during anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam

This article deals with the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam in the presence of N-substituted phosphorus-containing derivatives of ε-caprolactam: diethyl-(N-caprolactam)-phosphonite (PL₁); diethyl-(N-caprolactam)-phosphonate (PL₂), and 2,5-dichlorophenyl-bis-(N-caprolactam)-phosphinate (PL₃). It has been found out that PL₁ and PL₃ had an accelerating effect on the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam. The polymerization runs at high velocity and high degree of conversion. PL₂ does not accelerate the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam, but when the polymerization is activated by a strong activator of acyl lactam type, and the PL₂ concentration is commensurate with that of the activator, the process runs at a slightly lower rate and at a relatively high degree of conversion. The kinetics of the anionic polymerization in the presence of the three compounds was investigated. Equations describing the effect of the reagents on the polymerization rate were suggested. The activating energy of the polymerization was found out. The different actions of PL₁, PL₂, and PL₃ during the anionic polymerization of ε-caprolactam were explained by their structural differences.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the anionic polymerization of acrylamide monomers

The thermodynamics, kinetics, and mechanism of the anionic polymerization of a number of acrylamide monomers has been studied with the use of isothermal and scanning calorimetry, liquid chromatography, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chemical analysis of functional groups. It has been demonstrated that the polymerization system shows the living character and the interchain exchange reactions are absent. It has been shown that N,N-diethanolacrylamide and N,N-diethanol(meth)acrylamide are uninvolved in anionic polymerization. The causes of this phenomenon have been ascertained. The products of the anionic polymerization of acrylamides are hyperbranched copolymers containing heterochain and carbochain fragments. Macromolecules contain end amide and acrylamide groups; in some macromolecules, end tert-butoxide groups of the used polymerization initiator are detected. For the products of the anionic polymerization of the acrylamide monomers under study, the temperatures of glass transition and melting have been measured.     

A New View of the Initiation and Propagation in Anionic Polymerization

This work confirms the new view of the initiation and propagation mechanism of the anionic polymerization previously proposed, based on the investigation of anionic bulk‐polymerization of styrene and α‐methyl styrene with the help of a self designed microflow device and characterized by GPC and in situ ⁷Li NMR. It was found that n‐BuLi tended to form the hexameric‐aggregated structure and even to form the huge aggregated structure based on the former. These aggregations of initiators could directly initiate the anionic polymerization and form the supramolecule aggregations. The supramolecule aggregations inevitably blocked the diffusion of the monomers to the ion‐pairs and resulted in a stationary‐conversion platform. Then the aggregators were dissociated completely into equal binary‐aggregated species, and the polymerization continued again rapidly before the termination. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) acted as the electron donator, which could push the electron cloud to Li cation and make the aggregated ring of the active species rather loosened and facilitated the monomer to insert in. Therefore, a little THF can greatly promote the anionic polymerization. However, further addition of THF might block the channel between the ion‐pairs and decrease the propagation rate. It was also found that the aggregated structure of the active species during the anionic polymerization only depends on the initiator aggregations which were formed before the polymerization.     

Ring-opening polymerization of strained cyclotetrasilanes as a new route towards well defined polysilylenes

Ring-opening polymerization of cyclic silanes is described as a new synthetic route to well defined high molecular weight polysilylenes (polysilanes). Strained cyclotetrasilanes with phenyl and methyl substituents at each Si atom in the four-membered ring are prepared by partial dephenylation of octaphenylcyclotetrasilane with triflic acid and the subsequent treatment with methylmagnesium bromide. Chemoselectivity, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of monomer synthesis is discussed in detail. In addition to classic anionic initiators for the ring-opening process, new catalysts and initiators based on transition metals (Cu, Pd, Pt) are described. They provide much better control of the microstructure than systems with Li⁺ counterion.     

Anionic living polymerization of alkyl methacrylate at ambient temperature and its mechanism research

In order to break through the bottleneck of anionic polymerization, polar monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, and hexyl methacrylate are subjected to anionic polymerization at room temperature in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using potassium tert‐butoxide (t‐BuOK) as the initiator. The polymerization of alkyl methacrylates is studied by multidetector gel permeation chromatography, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H‐NMR) and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy, and dynamic laser light scattering. It is found that t‐BuOK can initiate the living anionic polymerization of polar alkyl methacrylate, and the polymerization conversion almost reaches up to 100%. t‐BuOK exists into two kinds of agglomerates, whose hydrodynamic volumes are 10 and 80 nm, respectively. t‐BuOK in THF is similar to emulsion and has a critical active species concentration of about 0.0265 mol L^?1 and does not depend on how much t‐BuOK is added. After the initiation of the polymerization, the large agglomerates of a loose and less regular structure that have occupied the main part of t‐BuOK are greatly reduced, but they do not continue to decrease until they disappear according to the equilibrium theory. Similarly, the active chain after initiation also will not aggregate again. Furthermore, t‐BuOK also has an active species with smaller average vibration size between cation and anion pairs, which can only initiate the polymerization of MMA with rather slow rate but cannot initiate other alkyl methacrylates. At last, because t‐BuOK can make the dormant species caused by side reactions to be revived, the anionic polymerization of MMA could obtain a high yield. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

New Perspectives in Living/Controlled Anionic Polymerization

Summary: Control of the reactivity and selectivity of active species remains a major challenge in the course of living/controlled polymerizations of vinyl and heterocyclic monomers. We have found that alkyl metal derivatives such as dialkylmagnesium or trialkylaluminum derivatives or the corresponding alkoxyakyl metal derivatives, when added to conventional anionic polymerization systems, are very effective mediators for the controlled anionic polymerization of both styrenic and oxirane monomers. When used as additives to alkali metal alkyl initiators (alkyl lithium, alkyl sodium) for the styrene anionic polymerizations, they strongly retard the reactivity of the propagating species and allow controlling the polymerization in very unusual conditions (bulk, very high temperature). On the contrary, when used in combination to the same alkali metal based initiators for the anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, these additives can drastically enhance the reactivity and the selectivity of the propagating species allowing a fast living-like polymerization to proceed already at low temperature in hydrocarbon media.
