Synthesis and characterization of highly random copolymer of ϵ-caprolactone and D,L-lactide using rare earth catalyst

Highly random copolymers of ϵ-caprolactone (CL) and D ,L -lactide (LA) were synthesized by a new catalyst system, rare earth chloride–propylene oxide (PO) system. In the presence of propylene oxide, all rare earth chlorides tested are highly effective for the copolymerization. The influences of reaction conditions on the copolymerization catalyzed by the NdCl₃-5PO system have been investigated in detail. The reactivity ratios of ϵ-caprolactone and D ,L -lactide were determined and show that the copolymerization with this new rare earth catalyst is closer to ideal copolymerization than reported for other catalysts. The microstructure of copolymer analyzed by ¹³C-NMR shows that the monomer units in the copolymer is near to completely random distribution with a short average monomer sequence length. The DSC measurement confirms the high randomness of the chain structure. The mechanism studied by NMR indicates that the rare earth alkoxide generated by the reaction of rare earth chloride with propylene oxide initiates the copolymerization, and then proceeds via a “coordination-insertion” mechanism with acyl-oxygen bond cleavage of CL and LA. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Copolymer of lactide and ε-caprolactone catalyzed by bimetallic Schiff base aluminum complexes

A series of copolymers of lactide(LA) and e-caprolactone(ε-CL) with different monomer feed ratios were achieved using three kinds of bimetallic Schiff aluminum complexes as catalysts. The ratios of LA and ε-CL units in different copolymers and the average segments length were determined by NMR analysis. The comparative kinetic study of L-LA/ε-CL and rac-LA/ε-CL copolymerization systems showed that the polymerization rate of LA was faster than ε-CL, and L-LA showed polymerization rate slightly faster than rac-LA. It was inferred that the copolymers achieved by these complexes were gradient copolymers with gradual change in distribution of LA and e-CL units. The thermal properties of these copolymers were characterized by DSC analysis, which showed that the glass transition temperature(Tg) of these copolymers changed regularly according to the pro-portion change of two structural units.     

“一锅法”均相合成热塑性纤维素丙酸酯接枝聚乳酸共聚物

纤维素重复单元的羟基上引入足够数量的柔性分子链,有可能在破坏纤维素分子链间氢键的同时起到内增塑作用,从而赋予纤维素熔融流动性.由纤维素酯化反应得到的一些短链取代的纤维素酯[如纤维素醋酸酯(CA)、纤维素丙酸酯(CP)等]具有热塑性,但需要在外加大量增塑剂条件下才能熔融加工[1].接枝共聚合是改变纤维素物理化学性质的另一种有效方法[2～4]。

Anionic alternating copolymerization behavior of bifunctional six‐membered lactone and glycidyl phenyl ether

A copolymerization of 10‐methyl‐2H,8H‐benzo‐[1,2‐b:5,4‐b′]bipyran‐2,8‐dione ( 1 ) and glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE) was studied. 1 was a bislactone designed as a bifunctional analogue of 3,4‐dihydrocoumarin (DHCM), of which anionic 1:1 alternating copolymerization with GPE has been reported by us, previously. This alternating nature was inherited by the present copolymerization of 1 and GPE, leading to an intriguing copolymerization behavior in contrast to the ordinary statistical copolymerizations of monofunctional monomers and bifunctional monomers usually controlled by the proportional dependence of the crosslinking density on the monomer feed ratio: (1) When the feed ratio [GPE]₀/[ 1 ]₀ was 1, the two monomers underwent the 1:1 alternating copolymerization. In this case, 1 behaved as a monofunctional monomer, that is, only one of the two lactones in 1 participated in the copolymerization allowing the other lactone moiety to be introduced into the side chain almost quantitatively. (2) Increasing the feed ratio [GPE]₀/[1]₀ to larger than 4 allowed almost all of the lactone moieties to participate in the copolymerization system to give the corresponding networked polymers efficiently. The compositions of the copolymers [GPE unit]/[ 1 ‐derived acyclic ester unit] were always biased to smaller values than the feed ratios [GPE]₀/[lactone moiety in 1 ]₀ by the intrinsic 1:1 alternating nature of the copolymerization. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The anionic ring-opening polymerization and copolymerization of cyclic carbonates

Cyclic carbonates are eligible to ring-opening polymerization using a wide variety of initiators such as carbanionic or alcoholate species as well as initiators known to be effective for the ring-opening polymerization of lactones and for the group transfer polymerization of vinyl monomers. Depending on the catalyst, high molecular weight polymers may be obtained in high yields (kinetically controlled regime) or a ring-chain equilibrium is observed upon end-biting, back-biting and transesterification reactions (thermodynamically controlled regime). The polymerizability of the cyclic carbonates is strongly dependent on their structure. Five-membered cycles generally cannot be polymerized, whereas six-membered cycles can be polymerized and copolymerized in an ideal manner. The polymerizability of higher cyclics, in particular when containing aromatic ring systems, is highly dependent on the substitution pattern of the aromatics. Since the active species in the polymerization of aliphatic cyclic carbonates was disclosed to be of alcoholate type, a copolymerization with ϵ-caprolactone is easily achieved, the reactivity of the cyclic carbonate, however, being by far larger than that of the lactone. On the other hand, the copolymerization with pivalolactone exerts a different behaviour, since the active species of the growing pivalolactone chain after a few steps assumes the character of a carboxylate anion which is unable to promote the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonates. Since carbanionic species may be used as initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonates, polystyryl, polybutadienyl, and polyisoprenyl anions may be used as initiators to achieve the corresponding block copolymers. To obtain block copolymers with poly(methyl methacrylate) blocks a group transfer polymerization of the respective acrylate has to be performed, followed by the polymerization of the cyclic carbonate. The latter, however, rather proceeds by a metal- free anionic process than by a group transfer process. The ring-opening polymerization and copolymerization of cyclic carbonates allows the preparation of a broad variety of new polymers with remarkable properties.     

Controlled random copolymerization of rac‐lactide and ɛ‐caprolactone by well‐designed phenoxyimine Al complexes

The random copolymers poly(LA‐ran‐CL) have improved properties of degradability, mechanical strength, elasticity, and permeability over the PLA and PCL homopolymers. However, the synthesis of such copolymers is still a great challenge in polymer chemistry. In this contribution, we develop a simple but well‐designed phenoxyimine Al complex ( 4 ) with bulky Ph₂CH groups, which achieves controlled random copolymerization of rac‐LA and ɛ‐CL in a living manner (Ð = 1.06–1.09). The reactivity ratios of rac‐LA and ɛ‐CL (r_LA and r_CL) are 1.09 and 1.05 and the average sequence lengths of the lactidyl unit (L_LA) and the caproyl unit (L_CL) are in the range of 1.9–2.0 at different stages of conversion. In marked contrast, Al complexes ( 1–3 ) having less bulky substituents on the ligands only produce gradient copolymers. Furthermore, this strategy of catalyst design would be readily extended to other catalytic systems including β‐ketiminato Al complex ( 5 ). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Versatile cobalt complexes for initiating immortal ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide (LA), mediating living radical polymerization of t‐butyl acrylate (tBA) and catalyzing copolymerization of LA and tBA by combination of ROP and organometallic‐mediated radical polymerization

Low‐cost, highly active and versatile amino‐bis(phenolate) cobalt complexes are developed. The cobalt complexes can control living polymerization of different categories of monomers including lactide (LA) by immortal ring‐opening polymerization in argon and even in air and acrylate via living radical polymerization (LRP). The cobalt‐based catalysts were used for copolymerization of LA and acrylate. The immortal polymerization of LA using the cobalt complexes as initiators proceeds in argon and even in air and without the requirement for extensive drying techniques or inert atmosphere whilst retaining end‐group fidelity. The cobalt complexes are used to mediate LRP of t‐butyl acrylate (tBA) in methanol. The block copolymerization of LA and tBA catalyzed by single‐site cobalt organometallic catalyst is also reported for the first time. This cobalt system offers a versatile and green way to produce homopolymers and block copolymers.     

MODIFIED POLYPROPENES VIA METALLOCENE CATALYSIS

The copolymerization of propene with 1-olefins and other comonomers via metallocene catalysis is an important key to polymeric materials with a great variety of properties. The random incorporation of different side chains into the polypropene backbone gives access to a broad spectrum of properties of the polypropene materials ranging from thermoplastics across thermoplastic elastomers to olefin rubber which can be tailored using metallocene catalysts. With a lot of different 1-olefins it is possible to synthesize both copolymers of every desired composition as well as poly-1-olefins. Molecular, thermal, and mechanical properties of propene copolymers are determined by type and amount of the comonomer. The use of metallocene catalysis for the copolymerization of propene and cyclic olefins allows the incorporation of the cyclic olefin without ring opening reactions. This provides the way to a synthesis of copolymers with varying content of the cyclic olefin and interesting material properties. Polypropene graft copolymers used as single materials or acting as compatibilizer in polyolefin blends are very attractive polymeric products. Furthermore, via metallocene catalysis it is possible to synthesize polypropene-graft-polystyrene or poly-propene-graft-polyisobutene. The method of synthesis as well as certain applications of such materials will be the main focus of this report.     

Soluble bimetallic μ-oxoalkoxides. IX. ε-caprolactone and β-propiolactone block copolymerization

The fast and living ring-opening polymerization of lactones by bimetallic μ-oxoalkoxides in homogeneous organic phase has led to successful block copolymerization. The catalyst is coordinatively associated in organic media; however, interaction with lactones can induce, following their nature, different rearrangements of the catalytic aggregates, depending on the nature of these lactones. Consequently, ε-caprolactone and β-propiolactone block copolymers are quantitatively obtained only in the presence of a completely dissociated catalyst.     

Functional polyesters prepared by polymerization of α‐allyl(valerolactone) and its copolymerization with ε‐caprolactone and δ‐valerolactone

We report the ring‐opening homopolymerization of α‐allyl(valerolactone), compound 2 , and its copolymerization with ε‐caprolactone and δ‐valerolactone using stannous(II) catalysis. Although the polymerization of substituted δ‐valerolactones has received little attention for the preparation of functional polyesters, we found that compound 2 may be incorporated in controllable amounts into copolymers with other lactones, or simply homopolymerized to give a highly functionalized, novel poly(valerolactone). The presence of the pendant allyl substituent had a substantial impact on the thermal properties of these materials relative to conventional polyesters prepared from lactones, and most of the polymers presented here are liquids at room temperature. Dihydroxylation of the pendant allyl groups gave polyesters with increased hydrophilicity that degraded more or less rapidly depending on their extent of functionality. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(Lactic Acid)-Based Graft Copolymers: Syntheses Strategies and Improvement of Properties for Biomedical and Environmentally Friendly Applications: A Review

As a potential replacement for petroleum-based plastics, biodegradable bio-based polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) have received much attention in recent years. PLA is a biodegradable polymer with major applications in packaging and medicine. Unfortunately, PLA is less flexible and has less impact resistance than petroleum-based plastics. To improve the mechanical properties of PLA, PLA-based blends are very often used, but the outcome does not meet expectations because of the non-compatibility of the polymer blends. From a chemical point of view, the use of graft copolymers as a compatibilizer with a PLA backbone bearing side chains is an interesting option for improving the compatibility of these blends, which remains challenging. This review article reports on the various graft copolymers based on a PLA backbone and their syntheses following two chemical strategies: the synthesis and polymerization of modified lactide or direct chemical post-polymerization modification of PLA. The main applications of these PLA graft copolymers in the environmental and biomedical fields are presented.

Regio- and stereocontrol in the alternating copolymerization of olefins with carbon monoxide

Strictly alternating copolymers between olefins and carbon monoxide are synthesized using cationic palladium catalysts modified by phosphorus or nitrogen ligands. Basic chelate diphosphines as the ligand allow the regioregular copolymerization of aliphatic olefins thus affording, e.g. in the case of propene, poly(1-oxo-2-methyltrimethylene). Steric control of the copolymerization process towards the production of overwhelmingly isotactic copolymers is possible particularly when using atropisomeric ligands. In the case of styrene as the substrate and for all ligands employed the copolymerization process is regioregular. Prevailing syndiotactic structure is obtained with 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2′-bipyridine as the ligand. Chelate thioether ligands allow the preparation of a completely atactic material. For 4-tert-butylstyrene an isotactic structure became accessible by using chiral bisoxazolidines. The prevailing structure of the copolymers of cyclopentene corresponds to a 1,3-enchainment of the olefin units most probably associated with a prevailing diisotactic structure

Morphospecific polymerization: Polyoxymethylene copolymers

Homopolymerization and copolymerization of trioxane by use of various catalysts have been investigated. When MoO₂(AcAc)₂ is employed, crystalline homopolymers and copolymers as formed from polymerization exhibit significantly higher melting points than corresponding polymers prepared by use of ordinary cationic catalysts. The higher melting points are attributed to different morphology of the polymer chains formed during polymerization. We now call this phenomenon morphospecific polymerization. This communication describes our results in the copolymerization of trioxane and 1,3-dioxolane and some outstanding properties of the copolymers. A polymerization mechanism is also proposed.
