As a kind of living free radical polymerizations, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) has been proved to be an important technique nowadays as it is applicable to a wide range of monomers at a wide range of temperature below 100oC. In … 相似文献
A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F−) were synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F−, which can be observed by both naked eyes and optical responses. The polymers showed higher fluorescence enhancement than its monomer, and the polymers with higher molecular weight have higher sensitivity than those with lower molecular weight. Other halide anions are found to hardly induce any variation of either the absorption or fluorescence spectra.
Amphiphilic block copolymers containing hydrophobic perfluorocyclobutyl‐based (PFCB) polyacrylate and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segments were prepared via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The PFCB‐containing acrylate monomer, p‐(2‐(p‐tolyloxy)perfluorocyclobutoxy)‐phenyl acrylate, was first synthesized from commercially available compounds in good yields, and this kind of acrylate monomer can be homopolymerized by free radical polymerization or RAFT polymerization. Kinetic study showed the 2,2′‐azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) initiated and cumyl dithiobenzoate (CDB) mediated RAFT polymerization was in a living fashion, as suggested by the fact that the number‐average molecular weights (Mn) increased linearly with the conversions of the monomer, while the polydispersity indices kept less than 1.10. The block polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mn≦1.21) were prepared through RAFT polymerization using PEG monomethyl ether capped with 4‐cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate end group as the macro chain transfer agent (mPEG‐CTA). The length of the hydrophobic segment can be tuned by the feed ratio of the PFCB‐based acrylate monomer and the extending of the polymerization time. The micellization behavior of the block copolymers in aqueous media was investigated by the fluorescence probe technique. 相似文献

A new azlactone‐derived trithiocarbonate is prepared and used as a chain‐transfer agent to mediate the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene, ethyl acrylate, and N‐isopropyl acrylamide. Well‐defined polymers with controlled molecular weights (Mn = 1000–7000 g mol−1) and narrow molecular weight distributions (PDI = 1.05–1.10) are thus obtained that retain the azlactone functionality at the chain end. The ability of the resulting end‐functionalized polymers to react quantitatively at room temperature with a stoichiometric amount of amino groups with retention of the thiocarbonylthio moiety is ascertained by using 4‐fluorobenzylamine and allylamine. 相似文献
Fractionation data of two poly(methyl methacrylate) samples prepared by suspension polymerization up to limiting conversion, in the presence of different amounts of 1-n-dodecanethiol, indicate that both samples have similar polydispersity factors, although the molecular weight distribution curve for the sample obtained with the highest chain transfer agent concentration is shifted to lower molecular weight values. The results obtained are qualitatively correlated with the high conversion polymerization theory proposed by Cardenas and O'Driscoll. 相似文献
Summary: Reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFMA) was carried out in the presence of cumyldithiobenzoate and 4‐cyano‐4‐((thiobenzoyl)sulfanyl)pentanoic acid, respectively. These chain transfer agents with 2,2′‐azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator yielded the active ester polymer poly(PFMA) with up to 17 000 g · mol−1 and low polydispersity index ( < 1.2). Kinetic analysis using 19F NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements showed controlled polymerization behavior for both chain transfer agents. Successful preparation of linear diblock copolymers consisting of an active ester block and methyl methacrylate, N‐acryloylmorpholine, or N,N‐diethylacrylamide, respectively, could be demonstrated. These polymers could easily react with amines in a polymer analogous reaction to form multifunctional polymers.
