Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate High Efficiently Initiated by Azo-containing Iniferter

Two novel azo-containing iniferters, (4,4′-(diazene-1,2-diyl) bis(4,1-phenylene) bis(2-(diethylca-rbamothioylthio)-2-methylpropanoate (BDCMP) and 4-((4-bromophenyl)diazenyl)phenyl-2-(diethylcarbamothioylthio)-2-methylpropanoate (PDCMP) were synthesized and used successfully as the initiators for atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). The kinetic plots were first order and the molecular weights of the polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions increased with the monomer conversions. Furthermore, the results showed that the apparent initiation efficiencies (f was close to 0.90 defined as M _n(th)/M _n(GPC)) of BDCMP and PDCMP were both higher than that (f was lower than 0.5) of 2-N,N-(diethylamino)dithiocarboyl-isobutyrate (EDCIB), which was reported previously by us (14 Zhang, W., Zhu, X. L., Cheng, Z. P. and Zhu, J. 2007. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 106: 230–7. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). The obtained mono- and bi-functional PMMAs containing azo and N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (DC) groups were confirmed by ¹H-NMR and ultraviolet absorption spectra, respectively. The block copolymer, poly (methyl methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PMMA-b-PS), was also successfully prepared via the ATRP chain-extension experiment using the obtained PMMA as a macroinitiator.     

Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate Initiated with Organomanganate Reagents

Organomanganate reagents [R₃Mn]^–Li⁺ (R = Bu, Me) were found to polymerize methyl methacrylate in the presence of potassium tert‐butylate. A conversion of the tacticity of the resulting poly(methyl methacrylate)s from heterotactic (mr = 54%) to isotactic (mm = 58%) was observed upon changing the R group of the initiator from Bu to Me. The addition of triisobutylaluminium was found to efficiently control M̄_w and M̄_w/M̄_n of the resulting polymers.

Effect of Microwave Activation on Polymerization Rate and Molecular Weight Development in Emulsion Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate

Polymerization rate and molecular weight development experimental results for the emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), in the presence of potassium persulphate (PPS) as initiator, and activated with a 50 W microwave source, are reported. The polymerization kinetics of the microwave activation experiment (MA) was compared against a traditional conductive heating (CH) polymerization reaction. The number average molecular weights, M_n, of the polymer samples obtained with microwave activation were significantly higher than those obtained from conductive heating. These high values of M_n were obtained from the beginning of the polymerization reaction. Polydispersity index (PDI) values in the range of 1.18 to 1.83 were obtained in the microwave irradiated samples. These values are lower than those produced by conventional emulsion polymerization of styrene and other vinyl monomers, and resemble the PDI values obtained in controlled‐radical polymerization processes. Polymer particles of submicron size (60 to 100 nm) were obtained.

甲基丙烯酸甲酯自由基聚合反应的统计理论研究

在自由基聚合反应中,每个聚合物分子都是经历成百上千次加成聚合形成。由于聚合次数不完全相同造成实际链长的不等性,故由稳态近似法所获得的结果只是一个平均的概念,对反应未达平衡态时不适用。本文运用统计的方法,克服了非稳态方法的限制。通过从任意时间微元扩展至反应结束,获得了甲基丙烯酸甲酯聚合反应相应的统计关系式,如聚合物的数量、重量分布及聚合物的平均分子量等,对深入了解高分子化学反应的本质具有重要的价值和意义。     

Plasma‐Initiated Controlled/Living Radical Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in the Presence of 2‐Cyanoprop‐2‐yl 1‐dithionaphthalate (CPDN)

Summary: Plasma‐initiated controlled/living radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out in the presence of 2‐cyanoprop‐2‐yl 1‐dithionaphthalate. Well‐defined poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), with a narrow polydispersity, could be synthesized. The polymerization is proposed to occur via a RAFT mechanism. Chain‐extension reactions were also successfully carried out to obtain higher molecular weight PMMA and PMMA‐block‐PSt copolymer.

Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate in Microemulsion: The Influence of Reaction Conditions on Polymerization

The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant and a difunctional RAFT agent S,S′-bis (α, α′-dimethylacetic acid) trithiocarbonate (BDAT) as chain transfer were conducted in microemulsion. The influence of polymerization temperature and concentration of RAFT agent on the polymerization were investigated, respectively. The results showed that the molecular weight of products increased linearly with conversion, the polydispersity indexes remained low value, and the polymerization processes were totally under control with increasing concentration of RAFT agent, the polymerization behavior exhibited living polymerization characters. In addition, the influence of RAFT concentration on the particle size was investigated by TEM. The results indicated that the particles were highly monodispersed and the particle size increased with increasing concentration of RAFT agent.

Termination Mechanism in the Anionic Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate

Recent studies have revealed that at temperatures around 200°K in tetrahydrofuran solvent, poly(methy1 methacrylate) ion pairs are long-lived and very reactive. At higher temperatures however termination of the ion pairs occurs, as evidenced by the broadening of the molecular weight distribution of the resultant polymer and by the incomplete polymerization of the monomer. Three mechanisms have been proposed to describe these termination reactions; an inter molecular reaction with the monomer ester function, an intramolecular cyclization of the anion, or reaction with the polymer ester function. In the absence of monomer only the last two mechanisms can be operative. A series of experiments was undertaken in which the molecular weight distribution broadening with temperature increase was measured under typical polymerization conditions or in the absence of monomer. The effect of each of the three counterions Li, Na, and K was also monitored. The results obtained are discussed in terms of these three possible termination mechanisms. Termination rate constants calculated from the molecular weight distribution are also presented.     

Fundamental Molecular Weight Distribution of RAFT Polymers

The molecular weight distribution formed in an ideal reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)‐mediated radical polymerization is considered theoretically. In this polymerization, the addition to the RAFT agent is reversible, and the active period on the same chain could be repeated, via the two‐armed intermediate, with probability 1/2. This possible repetition is accounted for by introducing a new concept, the overall active/dormant periods. With this method, the apparent functional form of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) reduces to that proposed for the ideal living radical polymers (Tobita, Macromol. Theory Simul. 2006 , 15, 12). The repetition results in a broader MWD than without the repetition. The formulae for the average molecular weights formed in batch and a continuous stirred tank reactor are also presented.
