Chain transfer to polymer in emulsion copolymerizations of (i) vinyl acetate (VAc) with n‐butyl acrylate (BA) and (ii) BA/acrylic acid with (a) methyl methacrylate (MMA) and (b) styrene (S) has been studied using 13C NMR spectroscopy to quantify the level of branching in the copolymers produced. The results reveal synergistic effects in which the inclusion of a small amount of comonomer leads to disproportionate changes in the level of branching. The data from the VAc/BA copolymerizations show that radicals with VAc end units abstract hydrogen atoms from BA repeat units more frequently than from VAc repeat units and that radicals with VAc end units are more effective in abstracting hydrogen atoms from BA repeat units than are radicals with BA end units. These effects lead to higher levels of branching in VAc/BA copolymers than results from the corresponding homopolymerizations and are a consequence of the efficacy of hydrogen abstraction at BA backbone tertiary C‐H bonds by the highly‐reactive VAc‐ended chain radicals. In contrast, the effect of introducing MMA or S to an acrylate polymerization is to disproportionately reduce the level of branching, with S being more effective than MMA in moderating chain transfer to polymer. These effects arise because propagating radicals with MMA or S end‐groups have longer lifetimes compared to those with acrylate end groups and have a very much lower tendency to abstract hydrogen atoms from acrylate repeat units.  相似文献

The grafting of polystyryl lithium onto poly(chloroethyl vinyl ether) chains has been investigated. The reaction proceeds cleanly and quantitatively thus allowing the synthesis of comblike polymers. Since the dimensions of the polystyrene branches and of the poly(chloroethyl vinyl ether) backbone can be controlled by living polymerizations, both the length and the number of branches of the graft copolymers can be tuned. The latter behave as star polymers. The possibility to initiate a new cationic polymerization of chloroethyl vinyl ether from polystyrene branches bearing acetal termini in order to prepare the corresponding stars with poly(chloroethyl vinyl ether-b- styrene) branches is also examined. Finally access to hyperbranched polymers of controlled architecture and dimensions by deactivation of a second amount of polystyryl lithium onto the last blocks of poly(chloroethyl vinyl ether) is also reported.  相似文献

It is a common view that poly(vinyl acetate) has many branches at the acetyl side group, but that the corresponding poly(vinyl alcohol) has little branching. In order to study the branching in poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol) which is formed by chain transfer to polymer, the polymerization of 14C-labeled vinyl acetate in the presence of crosslinked poly(vinyl acetate), which was able to be decrosslinked to give soluble polymers, was investigated at 60°C and 0°C. This system made it possible to separate as well as to distinguish the graft polymer from the newly polymerized homopolymer. Furthermore, the degree of grafting onto the acetoxymethyl group and onto the main chain were estimated. It became clear that, in the polymerization of vinyl acetate, chain transfer to the polymer main chain takes place about 2.4 times as frequently at 60°C as that to the acetoxy group and about 4.8 times as frequently at 0°C.  相似文献

We used real‐time Fourier transform infrared to monitor the conversion of both thiol and ene (vinyl) functional groups independently during photoinduced thiol–ene photopolymerizations. From these results, the stoichiometry of various thiol–ene and thiol–acrylate polymerizations was determined. For thiol–ene polymerizations, the conversion of ene functional groups was up to 15% greater than the conversion of thiol functional groups. For stoichiometric thiol–acrylate polymerizations, the conversion of the acrylate functional groups was roughly twice that of the thiol functional groups. With kinetic expressions for thiol–acrylate polymerizations, the acrylate propagation kinetic constant was found to be 1.5 times greater than the rate constant for hydrogen abstraction from the thiol. Conversions of thiol–acrylate systems of various initial stoichiometries were successfully predicted with this ratio of propagation and chain‐transfer kinetic constants. Thiol–acrylate systems with different initial stoichiometries exhibited diverse network properties. Thiol–ene systems were initiated with benzophenone and 2,2‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenylacetophenone as initiators and were also polymerized without a photoinitiator. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The incorporation of allylic monomers into highly reactive vinyl polymerizations provides a means to control molecular weight, conversion, and Trommsdorff effect to produce copolymers with desirable performance characteristics. The copolymerization behavior of styrene with sec‐butenyl acetate, whose copolymerization properties have not been reported, is investigated. Copolymers were produced via semicontinuous emulsion polymerization and characterized via NMR, gel permeation chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic light scattering, and atomic force microscopy. A high degree of chain termination due to allylic hydrogen abstraction was observed, as expected, with resultant decreases in molecular weight and in monomer conversion. However, high conversions were achieved, and it was possible to incorporate high percentages of the allylic acetate comonomer into the polymer chain. Copolymer thermal properties are reported. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 3191–3203, 2007  相似文献

Free-radical acrylic polymerizations of n-butyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate at temperatures above 120°C show significant departure from classic free-radical kinetics. An extended model of depropagation, where the equilibrium monomer concentration varies with temperature and polymer content, is postulated and shown to adequately explain the data for n-butyl methacrylate. Intramolecular chain transfer and scission is postulated to explain the apparent reduction in molecular weight and rate of polymerization seen in n-butyl acrylate polymerization, with supporting experimental evidence found via electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry.  相似文献

Model compounds have been used in studies at 60° in connection with transfer to polymer during the copolymerization of vinyl acetate with esters of fumaric acid. Succinate esters were used to simulate the fumarate ester units and ethyl acetate the vinyl acetate units in the copolymers. The succinate esters are much more reactive than ethyl acetate in transfer reactions with polyvinyl acetate radicals. Methyl isobutyrate and methyl propionate were also examined to assess the difference in reactivity in transfer of tertiary and secondary hydrogen atoms. It is concluded that branching is a very important reaction in the preparation of high conversion copolymers of fumarate esters with vinyl acetate.  相似文献

Batch polymerizations of vinyl acetate were conducted at 60°C and 72°C, and rate constants for branching were established from the variation of M?n and M?w with extent of conversion. The calculated branching densities (branch points per polymer molecule) are slightly higher at 72°C for all conversions. Selected samples were saponified and reacetylated to determine the amount of branching through the acetate group. Changes in M?n, M?w, and [η] indicate 63%, 75%, and 70%, respectively, of saponificable branches. These percentages are independent of branching density in the original polymer. Molecular weights extrapolated to zero conversion appear to be unchanged by saponification and reacetylation, showing that short chain branching through the acetate group is absent, or at least very infrequent.  相似文献

Ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymers contain two kinds of side chains: acetoxy branches originating from incorporated vinyl acetate and alkyl branches. The alkyl branching was determined by infrared analysis after converting the ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer to a hydrocarbon polymer by three steps: hydrolysis, iodation with hydriodic acid containing red phosphorus, and reductive hydrogenation with lithium aluminum hydride. It was found that physical properties such as stiffness were dependent both on the degree of alkyl chain branching and on vinyl acetate content.  相似文献

Appropriately substituted allylic sulfides, sulfones, bromides, phosphonates, stannanes and peroxides, vinyl ethers and thionocarbonyl compounds are effective chain transfer agents in free radical polymerizations. These compounds function by a radical addition-fragmentation mechanism by which fragments derived from the chain transfer agents are installed at both ends of polymer chains. This provides a convenient method for preparing both mono- and di-end functional oligomers and polymers. Allylic peroxides fragment to give epoxy end groups while the other allylic compounds give rise to macromonomers by introducing terminal double bonds.  相似文献

Butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and vinyl acetate solution and emulsion terpolymerizations were conducted. Attenuated total relflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy equipped with conduit and diamond-composite sensor technology was used to monitor solution terpolymerizations off-line and emulsion terpolymerizations in-line. Monomer conversion and terpolymer composition changes as a function of time were calculated by monitoring the peak height of characteristic absorbances of each monomer. Results obtained from the ReactIR™ 1000 reaction-analysis system agreed well with those determined by traditional gravimetry and 1H NMR spectroscopy. For the solution terpolymerizations, improved models developed previously to incorporate solvent effects on solution polymerizations of butyl acrylate and vinyl acetate monomers were applied to predict monomer conversion, copolymer composition, and molecular weight averages. Comparisons between experimental data and model predictions are presented. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 39: 1860–1876, 2001  相似文献

The synthesis of atactic poly(propylene-g-ethyl acrylates) of [Mbar]n ~ 3000–5000 has been accomplished with 80–90% incorporation of the backbone in the graft copolymer. The principle involves free radical initiation of ethyl acrylate polymerization with benzoyl peroxide via chain transfer. At low conversions (up to ~15%), massive homopolymerization took place and the initial rates of both homo- and graft copolymerizations were indistinguishable even with 1% initiator based on monomer. Grafting occurred at higher conversions and the [Mbar]n of the grafted product increased with increasing initiator concentration for almost similar conversion data. The isothermal stability of the graft copolymer was far superior to that of atactic polypropylene. The initial decomposition temperature of the graft copolymers increased with increasing initiator amount used for grafting. It is proposed that the number of branches of poly (ethyl acrylate) increased, following the abstraction of an increasing number of tertiary hydrogen atoms from the backbone.  相似文献

Monomer partitioning in emulsion copolymerization plays a key role in determining composition drift and polymerization rates. The combination of recently developed thermodynamically based monomer partitioning relationships with mass balance equations, makes predictions of monomer partitioning in emulsion copolymerizations possible in terms of monomer mole fractions and monomer concentrations in the particle and aqueous phases. Using this approach, the effects of monomer to water ratios and polymer volumes on the monomer mole fraction within the polymer particle phase in a nonpolymerizing system at thermodynamic equilibrium can be determined. Comparison of these monomer partitioning predictions with experiments for the monomer system methyl acrylate—vinyl acetate shows good agreement. Furthermore, composition drift occurring in a polymerizing system as a function of conversion can be predicted if the assumption is made that equilibrium is maintained during reaction. Comparison of predictions with experimental results for emulsion copolymerizations of the monomer systems methyl acrylate—vinyl acetate and methyl acrylate—indene shows good agreement. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献

The ability of isopropenyl boronate pinacol ester to serve as a monomer in radical polymerizations was established and exploited for the synthesis of polymers that are difficult to access using other polymerization techniques. Although the monomer exhibits an α‐methyl‐substituted unconjugated structure, which is usually unfavorable for radical propagation, both free and controlled radical polymerizations smoothly afford the corresponding polymers. A density‐functional‐theory‐based investigation revealed that the boron atom moderately stabilizes the radical species, which leads to the suppression of the degradative chain transfer to the α‐methyl groups, and thus guides the reaction towards the radical polymerization. The boronyl pendants, which are directly attached to the polymer backbone, can be replaced with ‐OH or ‐NH2 to yield poly(α‐methyl vinyl amine) or poly(α‐methyl vinyl alcohol), which has been inaccessible by conventional synthetic methods.  相似文献

A modelistic study of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) formed in emulsion polymerization that involves chain transfer to polymer is conducted, by focusing our attention to the effect of very small reaction volume on the formed MWD. In emulsion polymerization, a polymer radical that causes polymer transfer reaction must choose the partner only within the same particle, which makes the expected size of the polymer molecule to be chosen smaller compared with the corresponding polymerization system that involves an infinitely large number of polymeric species. The usual assumption for homogeneous polymerization that the rate of chain transfer to a particular polymer molecule is proportional to its chain length cannot be used, except when branching frequency is low and particle size is large enough. This fact invalidates the direct use of models developed for homogeneous nonlinear polymerizations to emulsion polymerizations. Model equations that could be used to assess the significance of the limited space effects on the MWD under a given polymerization condition are also proposed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of VAc in the presence of ECTVA, which capable of both reversible chain transferable through a xanthate moiety and propagation via a vinyl group, led to highly branched copolymers by a method analogous to self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP). The ECTVA acted as a vinyl acetate AB inimer. It was copolymerized with vinyl acetate (VAc) in ratios selected to tune the distribution and length of branches of resulting hyperbranched poly(vinyl acetate). The degree of branching increased with chain ECTVA concentration, as confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. The polymer structure was characterized via MALDI–TOF. Retention of the xanthate compound during the polymerization was evidenced by successful chain extension of a branched (PVAc) macroCTA by RAFT polymerization. The branched PVAc led to better dissolution as compared to linear PVAc, an effect attributed primarily to an increased contribution of end groups.  相似文献

A comprehensive mathematical model for free-radical copolymerization reactions has been developed for a homogeneous continuous stirred tank reactor. The present model is based on a fairly general copolymerization scheme accounting for the formation of linear and branched copolymer chains. Both chain transfer to polymer and terminal double bond reactions are considered in order to predict the long chain branching frequency. Changes in molecular weight, composition and degree of branching occurring during the copolymerization reaction are modelled using the method of moments. To break-down the dependence of the moment equations on higher order moments two different closure methods are considered. The predictive capabilities of the model are examined in relation to the solution copolymerization of methyl methacrylate with vinyl acetate. It is shown that both chain transfer to polymer and terminal double bond reactions significantly contribute to the broadening of the molecular weight and degree of branching distributions. Furthermore, the terminal double bond reaction effects significantly the copolymer number-average molecular weight and the concentration of terminal double bonds.  相似文献

1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexfluorophosphate ([Cx][PF6], where x=4, 6-8) is used as solvent for the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate and styrene by the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer process. In the case of styrene, the insolubility of the polymer in ionic liquid stops the polymerization at an early stage. The acrylate and methacrylate polymerizations lead to products with molecular weights close to the theoretical ones and polydispersity indexes lower than 1.3. The polymerizations are shown to be living by chain extension of the products formed in ionic liquid. In the case of the methyl methacrylate, the kinetics of the polymerizations are followed and the molecular weight of the polymer is shown to increase linearly with the conversion, as expected for a living polymerization.  相似文献
