Random Copolymers of 1,5-Dioxepan-2-one

ABSTRACT

Copolymers of 1,5-dioxepan-2-one (DXO) and e-caprolactone (?-CL), δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) or L-lactide (LLA) have been synthesized and characterized. High molecular weight copolymers were obtained using stannous-2-ethyl hexanoate as catalyst in bulk. Reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of DXO and δ-VL were determined at 110°C as r_VL=0.5 and r_DXO=2.3. At high conversion, depolymerization of δ-VL occurred, resulting in lower molecular weight and variations in the copolymer composition.

Physical properties, such as crystallinity and melting temperature of the DXO-copolymers proved to be strongly dependent on the choice of comonomer and on the molar composition of the copolymers. DXO appears to be incorporated into the poly-?-caprolactone (PCL) crystals and to some extent into the poly-δ-valerolactone (PVL) crystals, resulting in a more gradual decrease in crystallinity with increasing amount of DXO.     

Alternating Copolymers of Limonene with Methyl Methacrylate: Kinetics and Mechanism

The radical copolymerization of limonene (optically active) with methyl methacrylate in xylene at 80±0.1°C for 1 hr, initiated by benzoyl peroxide (BPO) yield alternating copolymer(s), under the inert atmosphere of nitrogen, as evidenced by reactivity ratios r₁ (MMA)=0.07 and r₂ (limonene)=0.012 using the Kelen–Tüdos method. The kinetic expression is Rα[I]^0.5[MMA]^1.0[Lim.]^?1.0. The decrease in the rate of polymerization with increase in concentration of limonene is due to penultimate unit effect. The overall energy of activation is calculated as 49 kJ/mole. FTIR of the copolymer(s) shows the characteristic frequencies at 1732.40 and 2951.40 cm^?1 due to –OCH₃ of MMA and aromatic C–H stretching of limonene, respectively. ¹H NMR spectra shows peak at 3.8–4.1 δ and 5.3–5.6 δ due to –OCH₃ of MMA and trisubstituted olefinic protons [–CH=CH–CH₂–] of limonene, respectively.     

Water-Soluble Copolymers. XIX. Copolymers of Acrylamide with Sodium 3-(N-Propyl)acrylamido-3-Methylbutanoate: Synthesis and Characterization

The copolymerization of acrylamide (AM) with sodium 3-(N-propyl)acrylamido-3-methlbutanoate (NaPAMB) has been studied in the range from 40 to 90% AM in the feed. The copolymer compositions have been determined from elemental analysis and ¹³C NMR. Reactivity ratio studies have been performed, and the value of r₁r₂ determined to be 0.36. The molecular weights, as determined by low-angle laser light scattering of the copolymers, were found to decrease sharply with increasing NaPAMB content, and were in the range 0.5–7.0 × 10⁶. The copolymer microstructures, including mean sequence length distributions, were calculated from the reactivity ratios. Knowledge of polymer composition, micro-structure, and molecular weight is utilized for assessment of structure/dilute solution property relationships reported in a subsequent paper in this series.     

Preparation and characterization of thiophene copolymers with second order non-linear optical properties

Azobenzene-substituted polythiophenes were prepared by copolymerization of 3-alkylthiophenes functionalized with an azo-chromophore and 3-alkylthiophenes as plastifying comonomers to improve solubility. Monomers with different oligomethylenic spacer and alkylic chain lengths were synthesized and copolymerized via FeCl₃ oxidative polymerization. Polymer soluble fractions were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and GPC, DSC and TGA. Second-order non-linear optical properties were measured by the second harmonic generation technique.

Chemical degradation of poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate)

Poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate) (PAMA) has a pK_a of approximately 7.6 and is chemically stable in acidic or neutral aqueous solution in its protonated form. However, chemical degradation of PAMA is known to occur in alkaline media as its primary amine groups become deprotonated (He L et al. Macromolecules 2007; 40: 4429-38). In the present work, the effect of temperature, pH and polymer concentration on the rate of PAMA degradation in dilute aqueous solution has been examined. ¹H NMR spectroscopy indicates that both elimination of 2-aminoethanol and formation of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylamide repeat units occur above pH 9; elimination is observed first and occurs to a greater extent. FT-IR studies of aqueous PAMA solutions aged at pH 12 and 50 °C confirm the presence of anionic carboxylate groups, which suggests that such elimination is simply due to ester hydrolysis. A control experiment suggests that methacrylamide formation occurs via internal rearrangement, rather than by amidation of the remaining ester groups by the eliminated 2-aminoethanol.     

Organocatalyzed Photo-Controlled Synthesis of Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Fluorinated Alternating Copolymers

Ultrahigh-molecular-weight (UHMW) polymers with tailored structures are highly desirable for the outstanding properties. In this work, we developed a novel photoorganocatalyzed controlled radical alternating copolymerizations of fluoroalkyl maleimide and diverse vinyl comonomers, enabling efficient preparation of fluorinated copolymers of predetermined UHMWs and well-defined structures at high conversions. Versatility of this method was demonstrated by expanding to controlled terpolymerization, which allows facial access toward fluorinated terpolymers of UHMWs and functional pendants. The obtained copolymers exhibited attractive physical properties and furnished thermoplastic, anticorrosive and (super)hydrophobic attributes as coatings on different substrates. Molecular simulations provided insights into the coating morphology, which unveiled a fluorous protective layer on the top surface with polar groups attached to the bottom substrate, resulting in good adhesion and hydrophobicity, simultaneously. This synthetic method and customized copolymers shed light on the design of high-performance coatings by macromolecular engineering.

Poly(2-acrylamido glycolic acid-co-acryloyl morpholine) and poly(2-acrylamido glycolic acid-co-acrylamide): Synthesis, characterization, and retention properties for environmentally impacting metal ions

Poly(2-acrylamido glycolic acid-co-acrylamide), P(AGA-co-AAm), and poly(2-acrylamido glycolic acid-co-4-acryloylmorpholine), P(AGA-co-AMo), were synthesized by radical polymerization. The water-soluble polymers containing tertiary amine, amide, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid groups were investigated as polychelatogen, in view of their metal ion binding properties by using the liquid-phase polymer-based retention technique under different experimental conditions. The retention properties for the following metal ions were investigated: Ag⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Al²⁺, Cr³⁺ and Fe³⁺. P(AGA-co-AMo) showed a selective retention for tri-valent cation Al³⁺ at pH 3, but no retention at higher pH. P(AGA-co-AAm) showed the highest metal ion retention capability, specially at pH 5 and pH 7 with values close to 100% to di-valent cations.     

Umpolung Isomerization in Radical Copolymerization of Benzyl Vinyl Ether with Pentafluorophenylacrylate Leading to Degradable AAB Periodic Copolymers

This study revealed that benzyl vinyl ether (BnVE) shows a peculiar isomerization propagation in its radical copolymerization with an electron-deficient acrylate carrying a pentafluorophenyl group (PFA). The co-monomer pair inherently exhibits the cross-over propagation feature due to the large difference in the electron density. However, the radical species of PFA was found to undergo a backward isomerization to the penultimate BnVE pendant giving a benzyl radical species prior to propagation with BnVE. The isomerization brings a drastic change in the character of the growing radical species from electrophilic to nucleophilic, and thus the isomerized benzyl radial species propagates with PFA. Consequently, the two monomers were consumed in the order AAB (A: PFA; B: BnVE) and the unique periodic consumption was confirmed by the pseudo-reactivity ratios calculated by the penultimate model: r₁₁=0.174 and r₂₁=6600 for PFA (M₁) with BnVE (M₂). The pentafluorophenyl ester groups of the resulting copolymers are transformed into ester and amide groups by post-polymerization alcoholysis and aminolysis modifications. The unique isomerization in the AAB sequence allowed the periodic introduction of a benzyl ether structure in the backbone leading to efficient degradation under acid conditions.

An electrochemical sensor using glassy carbon electrode modified with carbon black within a poly(allylamine hydrochloride) film is proposed in this work. The novel sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry using the redox probe Fe(CN)6^3−/4−. The sensor was applied for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), paracetamol (PAR), amlodipine (AML), and rosuvastatin (RSV). The quantification of all four analytes was carried out by linear sweep voltammetry and presented a linear concentration range for all analytes from 1.0 to 90 μmol L⁻¹, with limit of detection of 0.55, 1.3, 5.7, and 3.0 μmol L⁻¹ for DA, PAR, AML, and RSV, respectively. This sensor was successfully applied in the simultaneous determination of these analytes in environmental, pharmaceutical, and biological samples.
