The Effect of Carbon Dioxide on the Alkali-Metal Initiation of Polyisoprene

The structures of polymers formed when alkali metals are placed in the vapor phase above isoprene monomer, both in the presence and absence of carbon dioxide, were investigated. In the absence of carbon dioxide, the polymers were all gel-like and soluble. In the presence of carbon dioxide, however, insoluble popcorn polymers were formed. The structures of the soluble polymers varied from primarily cis in the case of lithium to trans for sodium and potassium initiation. In the presence of carbon dioxide the three alkali metals produced polymers having similar structures, predominantly trans. In the absence of carbon dioxide most of the polymerization proceeds anionically with the majority of the free radical sites of the initially formed radical anion being removed by a transfer reaction or by dianion formation. The presence of carbon dioxide, however, leads to the formation of car boxy late ions that prevent anionic polymerization. Then, due to the structural orientation of the radical anion on the surface, free-radical polymerization occurs, leading to microgelation and popcorn polymerization. This results from cross-linking caused by mechanical rupture of the growing chains.     

Swelling of Polyheteroarylenes in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

Two series of polyheteroarylenes have been investigated with regard to their physical properties before and after swelling with supercritical carbon dioxide. The study of the dependence of glass transition temperature and free volume of polymers on their conformational rigidity showed that the process of swelling in supercritical carbon dioxide is influenced by the voluminous side groups and by the high boiling solvent N-methylpyrolidinone used for the preparation of the polymers which facilitates the formation of crosslinks or complexes with the macromolecular chains.

Copolymerization of Carbon Dioxide and Epoxide: Functionality of the Copolymer

Carbon dioxide and epoxide copolymerize in the presence of some organometallic catalyst systems under moderate conditions to give aliphatic polycarbonates of high molecular weight. Some metalloporphyrins of aluminum and zinc were found to act as novel catalysts for the polymerization of epoxide and for the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxide, though not alternating. The polymers are characterized by the narrow molecular weight distribution and the unusual stereoregularity. Starting from the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and trimethylsilyl glycidyl ether with diethylzinc-water catalyst system, a readily degradable polycarbonate having hydroxyl group was obtained.     

Reduction Characteristics of Carbon Dioxide Using a Plasmatron

To decompose carbon dioxide, which is a representative greenhouse gas, a 3-phase gliding arc plasmatron device was designed and manufactured to examine the decomposition of CO₂, either alone or in the presence of methane with and without water vapour. The changes in the amount of carbon dioxide feed rate, the methane to carbon dioxide ratio, the steam to carbon dioxide ratio, and the methane to steam ratio were used as the parameters. The carbon dioxide conversion rate, energy decomposition efficiency (EDE), carbon monoxide and hydrogen selectivity, and produced gas concentration were also investigated. The maximum values of the carbon dioxide conversion rate, which is a key indicator of carbon dioxide decomposition, in different cases were compared. The maximum carbon dioxide conversion rate was 12.3 % when pure carbon dioxide was supplied; 34.5 % when methane was injected as a reforming additive; 7.8 % when steam was injected as a reforming additive; and 43 % when methane and steam were injected together. Therefore, this could be explained that the methane-and-steam injection showed the highest carbon dioxide decomposition, showing low EDE as 0.01 L/min W. Furthermore, the plasma produced carbon-black was compared with commercial carbon-black chemicals through Raman spectroscopy, surface area measurement and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the carbon-black that was produced in this study has the high conductivity and large specific surface area. Our product makes it suitable for special electric materials and secondary battery materials applications.     

Homogeneous and heterogeneous free radical polymerizations in environmentally responsible supercritical carbon dioxide

Fluoropolymers are used in many technologically demanding applications because of their balance of high-performance properties. A significant impediment to the synthesis of variants of commercially available amorphous fluoropolymers is their general insolubility in most solvents except chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The environmental concerns about CFCs can be circumvented by preparing these technologically important materials in supercritical fluids (SCFs). The homogeneous solution homo- and copolymerization of highly fluorinated acrylic, styrenic and olefinic monomers in supercritical carbon dioxide using free radical methods will be discussed [Science, 257 , 945 (1992)]. Detailed decomposition rates and efficiency factors will be presented for azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) in supercritical carbon dioxide and will be compared to conventional liquid solvents [Macromolecules, 26 , 2663 (1993)]. Additionally, viscosities of polymer solutions in supercritical CO₂ have been measured using a high pressure, falling cylinder viscometer. The results show that the polymer solution viscosities in supercritical CO₂ are an order of magnitude lower than with the same polymers in conventional organic solvents. The results from these homogeneous solution polymerization studies has allowed us to also consider heterogeneous polymerizations in a carbon dioxide continuous phase. Conventional emulsion polymerizations of unsaturated monomers are performed in either aqueous or organic dispersion media with addition of surface active agents (surfactants) to stabilize the colloidal dispersion that forms. With free radical initiators that are preferentially soluble in the continuous phase, high rates of polymerization and high molar mass polymers can be obtained simultaneously. Herein we describe an environmentally responsible alternative to aqueous and organic dispersing media for emulsion polymerizations which utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide, in conjunction with molecularly engineered free radical initiators and amphiphilic molecules that are specifically designed to be interfacially active in CO₂. Conventional lipophilic monomers, exemplified by methyl methacrylate and styrene, can be polymerized heterogeneously using a fluorinated azo-initiator in supercritical CO₂ in the presence of added surfactant to form stable emulsions that result in submicron size particles. Detailed surfactant and initiator syntheses and phase behavior will also be discussed.

An effective synthesis of polynuclear tetraamines,monomers for polyheteroarylenes

An effective synthesis of polynuclear tetraamines via nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in 2-chloro-5-nitroaniline under ultrasonic irradiation followed by catalytic hydrogenation of dinitrodiaminoarenes in a flow reactor was proposed. A number of monomers, including those not described in the literature, were thus obtained. Two classes of polyheteroarylenes, namely, polynaphthoylenebenzimidazoles and polyphenylquinoxalines were synthesized by the polycyclocondensation in a supercritical carbon dioxide. Incorporation of trifluoromethyl substituents and flexible oxygen bridges into the structure of monomers allowed one to improve the solubility of the polymers. Some properties of synthesized polyheteroarylenes were investigated.

     

Preparation and degradation of salts of poly(methacrylic acid). I. Lithium,sodium, potassium,and caesium salts

The polymers of lithium, sodium, potassium, and caesium salts of methacrylic acid have been prepared by free radical polymerization of the respective monomers in methanol solution. The degradation behavior of the polymers has been investigated by thermal volatilization analysis, thermogravimetry, and product analysis. These materials are stable to about 350°C under programmed heating at 10°C/min in vacuo. The principal degradation products are monomer, the corresponding isobutyrate, carbonate, oxide, carbon dioxide, and a fraction of liquid volatiles that is complex and contains a variety of aldehydes and ketones. The mechanism of degradation is discussed in detail.

射频放电等离子体中CO2及CO2-H2混合气转化反应的原位研究

Currently, worldwide attention is focused on controlling the continually increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. To this end, a number of investigations have been carried out to convert the carbon dioxide molecules into value-added chemicals. As carbon dioxide is thermodynamically stable, it is necessary to develop an efficient carbon dioxide utilization method for future scaled-up applications. Recently, several approaches, such as electrocatalysis, thermolysis, and non-thermal plasma, have been utilized to achieve carbon dioxide conversion. Among them, non-thermal plasma, which contains chemically active species such as high-energy electrons, ions, atoms, and excited gas molecules, has the potential to achieve high energy efficiency without catalysts near room temperature. Here, we used radio-frequency (RF) discharge plasma, which exhibits the non-thermal feature, to explore the decomposition behavior of carbon dioxide in non-thermal plasma. We studied the ionization and decomposition behaviors of CO₂ and CO₂-H₂ mixtures in plasma at low gas pressure. The non-thermal plasma was realized by our custom-made inductively coupled RF plasma research system. The reaction products were analyzed by on-line quadrupole mass spectrometry (differentially pumped), while the plasma status was monitored using an in situ real-time optical emission spectrometer. Plasma parameters (such as the electron temperature and ion density), which can be tuned by utilizing different discharge conditions, played significant roles in the carbon dioxide dissociation process in non-thermal plasma. In this study, the conversion ratio and energy efficiency of pure carbon dioxide plasma were investigated at different values of power supply and gas flow. Subsequently, the effect of H₂ on CO₂ decomposition was studied with varying H₂ contents. Results showed that the carbon dioxide molecules were rapidly ionized and partially decomposed into CO and oxygen in the RF field. With increasing RF power, the conversion ratio of carbon dioxide increased, while the energy efficiency decreased. A maximum conversion ratio of 77.6% was achieved. It was found that the addition of hydrogen could substantially reduce the time required to attain the equilibrium of the carbon dioxide decomposition reaction. With increasing H₂ content, the conversion ratio of CO₂ decreased initially and then increased. The ionization state of H₂ and the consumption of oxygen owing to CO₂ decomposition were the main reasons for the V-shape plot of the CO₂ conversion ratio. In summary, this study investigates the influence of power supply, feed gas flow, and added hydrogen gas content, on the carbon dioxide decomposition behavior in non-thermal RF discharge plasma.

From Living to “Immortal” Polymerization

Aluminum porphyrin is an excellent initiator for the living polymerizations of a wide variety of monomers such as epoxide, β-lactone, δ-lactone, ε-lactone, and lactide, and also for the alternating copolymerization of epoxide and cyclic acid anhydride or carbon dioxide, to give polymers and copolymers with narrow molecular weight distribution. Aluminum porphyrin was recently found to initiate also the living polymerization of methacrylic ester. In the polymerizations of epoxides and lactones initiated with aluminum porphyrin in the presence of an appropriate protic compound, polymers with narrow molecular weight can be obtained with the number of the polymer molecules more than those of the initiator. This fact demonstrates the “immortal” nature of the polymerization due to unusual reactivities of aluminum prophyrin.
