用双官能团引发剂进行的基团转移嵌段共聚研究

本文用二种双官能团引发剂进行基团转移嵌段共聚研究,得到了一系列实测分子量和理论分子量相近、分子量分布较窄的A-B-A型嵌段共聚物。用GPC、~1H-NMR、DSC等手段对嵌段共聚物进行了表征,证明确是两相嵌段共聚丙烯酸酯。发现位阻较大的单体作为第二单体时不利于聚合。过高的催化剂用量使嵌段共聚的总转化率降低。使用极性较大的溶剂可缩短第一步聚合的诱导期,但不影响第二步聚合的诱导期,即极性较大的溶剂有利于催化剂的离解。单体浓度增大使共聚物的分子量减小,多分散性指数增大。可通过单体投料比改变共聚物的热形变温度。     

Alternating,gradient, block,and block–gradient copolymers of ethylene and norbornene by Pd–Diimine‐Catalyzed “living” copolymerization

We demonstrate, in this article, the facile synthesis of a broad class of low‐polydispersity ethylene–norbornene (E–NB) copolymers having various controllable comonomer composition distributions, including gradient, alternating, diblock, triblock, and block–gradient, through “living”/quasiliving E–NB copolymerization facilitated with a single Pd – diimine catalyst ( 1 ). This synthesis benefits from two remarkable features of catalyst 1 , its high capability in NB incorporation and high versatility in rendering E–NB “living” copolymerization at various NB feed concentrations ([NB]₀) while under an ethylene pressure of 1 atm and at 15 °C. At higher [NB]₀ values between 0.42 and 0.64 M, E–NB copolymerization with 1 renders nearly perfect alternating copolymers. At lower [NB]₀ values (0.11–0.22 M), gradient copolymers yield due to gradual reduction in NB concentration, with the starting chain end containing primarily alternating segments and the finishing end being hyperbranched polyethylene segments. Through two‐stage or three‐stage “living” copolymerization with sequential NB feeding, diblock or triblock copolymers containing gradient block(s) have been designed. This work thus greatly expands the family of E–NB copolymers. All the copolymers have controllable molecular weight and relatively low polydispersity (with polydispersity index below 1.20). Most notably, some of the gradient and block–gradient copolymers have been found to exhibit the characteristic broad glass transitions as a result of their possession of broad composition distribution. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High norbornene incorporation in ethylene-norbornene copolymerization with a bis(α-alkyloxoimine) titanium-MAO catalyst

A novel bis(α-alkyloxoimine) titanium(IV) complex was synthesized and used as a catalyst precursor to catalyze homo- and copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene. The titanium complex activated with methylalumoxane exhibits good activities for the homopolymerizations of ethylene and norbornene under high temperature to produce high-molecular-weight linear polyethylene and vinyl-type polynorbornene, respectively. Ethylene-norbornene copolymers with high molecular weight can also be produced by this catalyst. The incorporation of norbornene from 0 to 76 mol% in the copolymers can be controlled by varying the charged norbornene. ¹³C NMR analyses show that the microstructures of the ethylene-norbornene copolymers with low norbornene incorporation are predominantly alternated and isolated norbornene units, while those with high norbornene incorporation are random polymers containing long norbornene sequences.

Radiation graft post-polymerization of sodium styrene sulfonate onto polyethylene

Post-irradiation grafting of sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) in the presence of acrylic acid (AA) has been investigated on polyethylene (PE) pre-exposed to gamma radiation at room temperature in the air. Special attention was paid to the effect of low molecular weight salt additives on the kinetics of graft copolymerization of SSS and AA. The presence of SSS links in the grafted PE copolymers was detected by the methods of UV and FTIR spectroscopy. Based on the FITR spectroscopy and element analysis data, a mechanism was proposed for graft copolymerization of SSS and AA onto PE. The mechanical properties of the graft copolymers were studied. It was established that PE copolymers grafted with sulfonic acid and carboxyl groups have higher strength characteristics (16.3 MPa) compared to the samples containing only carboxyl groups (11 MPa).     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF AMPHIPHILIC GRAFT COPOLYMER CONTAINING MICROPHASE SEPARATED AND LONG POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE) SIDE CHAIN STRUCTURES**

Acryloyl terminated Poly (ethyleneoxide)macromonomers (PEO-A) with different PEO chain lengths have been prepared by deactivation of PEO alkoxide with acryloyl chloride. A new kind of amphiphilic polystyrene-g-poly (ethylene oxide)graft copolymer containing both microphase separated and PEO side chain structures has been synthesized from radical copolymerization of PEO-A macromonomer with styrene. After careful purification by a newly-developed method called "selective dissolution', the well-defined structure of the purified copolymers was confirmed by IR, ~1H-NMR and GPC. Various experimental parameters controlling the copolymerization were studied in detail. The results indicated that the feed ratio of styrene to macromonomer(S/M) was the most important determining factor for the composition of the copolymers. A detailed "comb- model" was proposed to describe the molecular structure of the graft copolymers. Finally, this amphiphilic graft copolymers may readily form microphase separated structures as clearly indicated by transmission electron microscopy.     

A novel approach to synthesis of functional CPVC and CPE or graft copolymers—in situ chlorinating graft

A new process of graft copolymerization of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) with other monomers was developed. The grafted chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) were synthesized by in situ chlorinating graft copolymerization (ISCGC) and were characterized. Convincing evidence for grafting and the structure of graft copolymers was obtained using FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the vulcanized curves. Their mechanical properties were also measured. The results show that the products have different molecular structure from those prepared by other conventional graft processes. Their graft chains are short, being highly branched and chlorinated. The graft copolymers have no crosslinking structure. The unique molecular structure will make the materials equipped with special properties. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Homo‐ and copolymerization of norbornene with styrene catalyzed by a series of copper(II) complexes in the presence of methylaluminoxane

Vinyl‐type polymerization of norbornene as well as random copolymerization of norbornene with styrene was studied using a series of copper complexes‐MAO. The precatalysts used here are copper complexes with β‐ketoamine ligands based on pyrazolone derivatives and the molecular structure of complex 4 was determined using X‐ray analysis. All of these catalyst systems are moderately active for the vinyl‐type polymerization of norbornene and random copolymerization of norbornene with styrene. The random copolymers obtained suggest that only one type of active species is present. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and NMR indicate that the copolymers are ‘true’ copolymers. The copolymerization reactivity ratios (r_NBE = 20.11 and r_Sty = 0.035) indicate a much higher reactivity of norbornene, which suggests a coordination polymerization mechanism. The solubility and processability of the copolymers are improved relative to polynorbornene and the thermostability of the copolymers is improved relative to polystyrene.

Synthesis of a norbornene monomer having cyclic carbonate moiety based on CO2 fixation and its transition metal‐catalyzed polymerizations

A norbornene monomer bearing cyclic carbonate moiety ( NB‐CC ) was successfully synthesized from the corresponding precursor having epoxy moiety by its reaction with carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure, which was efficiently catalyzed by lithium bromide. NB‐CC underwent the ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) catalyzed by a ruthenium carbene complex to give the corresponding poly(norbornene), of which side chain inherited the cyclic carbonate moiety from the monomer without any deterioration. The same ROMP system was applicable to the copolymerization of NB‐CC and 5‐butyl‐2‐norbornene ( BNB ), which afforded the corresponding copolymer with a composition ratio same as a feed ratio. In addition, by using a catalytic system consisted of palladium (II) acetate/tricyclohexylphosphine/triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, the copolymerization of NB‐CC and BNC proceeded successfully in a vinyl addition polymerization mode to give the corresponding poly(norbornene) having CC moiety in the side chain. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
