Straightforward synthesis of poly(lauryl acrylate)-b-poly(stearyl acrylate) diblock copolymers by ATRP

Lauryl (LA) and stearyl (SA) acrylates were successfully polymerized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), leading to well defined homopolymers and diblock copolymers (PDI < 1.2). Interestingly, the polymerization was very well controlled using N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA), a ligand which had initially been reported to be unadvisable for the polymerization of such monomers. Both kinetic studies and chain extension reactions supported our conclusions. A PLA₆₅-b-PSA₄₇ diblock copolymer was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis, revealing that both blocks exhibit side-chain crystallinity and phase segregate in the crystalline state. The diblock behaves as a brittle rigid polymer when both blocks are crystalline, as a ductile material after the melting of the PLA phase and becomes a viscous liquid when both blocks are molten. This work could be extended to the preparation of PSA-b-PLA-b-PSA bio-issued thermoplastic elastomers.     

Fast in vitro hydrolytic degradation of polyester urethane acrylate biomaterials: structure elucidation, separation and quantification of degradation products

Synthetic biomaterials have evoked extensive interest for applications in the field of health care. Prior to administration to the body a quantitative study is necessary to evaluate their composition. An in vitro method was developed for the quick hydrolytic degradation of poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (pHEMA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide50/50)1550-diol (PLGA(50:50)(1550)-diol), PLGA(50:50)(1550)-diol(HEMA)(2) and PLGA(50:50)(1550)-diol(etLDI-HEMA)(2) containing ethyl ester lysine diisocyanate (etLDI) linkers using a microwave instrument. Hydrolysis time and temperature were optimized while monitoring the degree of hydrolysis by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Complete hydrolytic degradation was achieved at 120°C and 3 bar pressure after 24 h. Chemical structure elucidations of the degradation products were carried out using (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The molecular weight (MW) of the polymethacrylic backbone was estimated via size-exclusion chromatography coupled to refractive index detection (SEC-dRI). A bimodal MW distribution was found experimentally, also in the pHEMA starting material. The number average molecular weights (M(n)) of the PLGA-links (PLGA(50:50)(1550)-diol) were calculated by high pressure liquid chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-TOF-MS) and (1)H NMR. The amounts of the high and low MW degradation products were determined by SEC-dRI and, HPLC-TOF-MS, respectively. The main hydrolysis products poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA), ethylene glycol (EG), diethylene glycol (DEG), lactic acid (LA), glycolic acid (GA) and lysine were recovered almost quantitatively. The current method leads to the complete hydrolytic degradation of these materials and will be helpful to study the degradation behavior of these novel cross-linked polymeric biomaterials.

Effect of sequence structure on wetting behaviors of fluorinated methacrylate polymers based on perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate and stearyl acrylate

Due to the non-crystalline properties of short chain perfluoroalkyl groups,using short chain perfluoroalkyl to stabilize low surface free energy polymers has been a challenging task.In this study,we prepare a series of random copolymers poly(perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate)-co-poly(stearyl acrylate) (P13FMA-co-PSA) and block copolymers poly(perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(stearyl acrylate) (P13FMA-b-PSA),and systematically investigate the effects of the sequence structure and the content of 13FMA of the fluorinated copolymers on surface free energy and surface reorganization.Static/dynamic contact angle goniometry and water/oil repellency analyses demonstrate that the random polymer P13FMA-co-PSA could not achieve low surface free energy and low surface reorganization at the same time.In contrast,for the block copolymer P13FMA-b-PSA,both low surface free energy and low surface reorganization are acquired simultaneously.The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),dynamic contact angle goniometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveal the above-mentioned properties.The consecutive 13FMA segments improve the surface fluorine density,while the consecutive SA chains enhance the crystallinity of the SA segments,and further hinder the surface reorganization of the perfluoroalkyl groups.Therefore,P13FMA-b-PSA exhibits a higher utilization efficiency of fluorine atoms and a better structural stability than P13FMA-co-PSA.     

Polymerization of vinyl monomers via MAO activated iron(II) dichloro complexes bearing bis(imino)pyridine-, quinolinaldimine- and thiophenaldimine-based tridentate nitrogen ligands

A series of iron(II) complexes (4a-d, 10, and 11) bearing 2,6-bis[(imino)ethyl]pyridine-(3a-d), quinolinaldimine-(8) and thiophenaldimine-(9) based ligands were disclosed as active complexes for the polymerization of tert-butylacrylate (t-BA). After activation with methyl aluminoxane (MAO), the complexes showed moderate to high polymerization activities and produced high molar mass polymers. In addition, the catalyst system 4d/MAO was examined for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and n-vinylcarbazole (NVC). The influence of MAO/Cat. molar ratio, polymerization time, and monomer concentration on the polymerization reaction of methyl methacrylate was explored.In the polymerization of tert-butylacrylate with 2,6-bis[(imino)ethyl]pyridine iron(II)-based catalysts, bulky terminal aliphatic substituents have a favorable influence on the polymerization activity compared to the aromatic ones. This catalyst system was also more active than the quinolinaldimine-, (10) and thiophenaldimine-, (11) based catalysts.

Preparation and Absorption Properties in Near Infrared Wavelength of Carbon Nanotubes/Acrylate Coatings

"Carbon nanotubes can be used as absorbent materials at the near infared range. In this study, carbon nanotube was treated with surfactant to prevent aggregation, and the acrylate coating of the carbon nanotube was prepared with the carbon nanotube solution and the near infrared reflection properties of the coating were studied. A series of factors influencing the reflectivity of carbon nanotubes/acrylate coatings at 930 nm, such as PVC concentration, the kinds and concentration of the surfactant and size range of the carbon nanotube, were studied. Based on these, the coating procedure was optimized and the carbon nanotubes/acrylate coating was prepared with good absorption properties. The reflectivity is under 0.1% of the coatings and its transmission is below 1.0% at near infrared wavelength of 840-980 nm."
