Radical polymerization in the presence of peroxide and reducing agent monomer for branched polymers

In this article, we report the radical polymerization in the presence of peroxide and commercially available or designed reducing agent monomer (RAM) for the preparation of branched poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMAs). The reaction behavior of the RAM was studied by NMR. Triple‐detection SEC (TD‐SEC) analysis was used to confirm the branching structure of the prepared PMMAs and to investigate the influence of peroxide concentration and RAM concentration on molecular weight and branched structure. The obtained branched PMMAs exhibited high molecular weights and relatively narrow polydispersities at high conversion of MMA. Interestingly, a significant increase in molecular weight and degree of branching of the obtained polymers are observed in higher BPO concentration, these results are quite different from that reported in the literature. The unique radical polymerization mechanism in the RAM/BPO redox‐initiated radical polymerization system resulted in branched PMMAs with high molecular weights at relatively high RAM and BPO concentrations. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanocrystalline cellulose/fluorinated polyacrylate latex via RAFT‐mediated surfactant‐free emulsion polymerization and its application as waterborne textile finishing agent

A simple method for nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)/fluorinated polyacrylate was developed by RAFT‐mediated surfactant‐free emulsion polymerization, in which the nanocomposites formed a core‐shell spherical morphology. The influence of the content of NCC‐g‐(PAA‐b‐PHFBA) (AA was acrylic acid, HFBA was hexafluorobutyl acrylate) on the properties of latex and film were systematically studied. The monomer conversion, the tensile strength, and water–oil repellency of film increased first and then decreased, the latex particle size decreased first and then decreased, when the content of NCC‐g‐(PAA‐b‐PHFBA) increased from 1 to 6 wt %. Elongation at break and thermal stability distinctly decreased when the content of NCC‐g‐(PAA‐b‐PHFBA) gradually increased. XPS showed that the fluorine‐containing groups well concentrated at the film–air interfaces during the annealing process. SEM analysis revealed that the treated fiber had a rugged surface, and the treated fabric had an excellent water repellency. In addition, this green grafting method in water offered a new perspective for the fabrication of exceptional NCC‐based nanocomposites with NCC as the core and also helped to promote the potential applicability of NCC in a range of multipurpose applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In situ-preparation and characterization of silver-HEMA/PEGDA hydrogel matrix nanocomposites: Silver inclusion studies into hydrogel matrix

Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) of different molecular weights (Mn = 575 and 700) was used as crosslinking agent for the photopolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in order to obtain HEMA/PEGDA-based hydrogels. Composites were synthesized in situ employing a new methodology that implies the addition of different quantities of silver nitrate aqueous solution to the monomer mixture with the finality to obtain hydrogels with different silver nanoparticles’ spatial density and distribution. Samples were characterized by thermal, optical, spectroscopic and structural/morphological methods. Thermal studies showed that the increase of PEGDA molecular weight and the AgNO₃ concentration in the reaction mixture enhance the glass transition temperature and the thermal stability of the composites. This behavior could be related to the silver coordination with the polymer network. Infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform and Raman analyses were realized in order to corroborate the sample chemical structure by the identification of specific functional groups. Surface hydrogel morphology was visualized with scanning electron microscopy analysis, detecting a homogeneous micro-porous surface for the samples obtained from high molecular weight PEGDA. Presence of silver nanoparticles was established by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and UV/Vis methods. In this last case, the characteristic silver nanoparticle plasmon was observed. Using Transmission Electron Microscopy it was possible to visualize a homogeneous spatial distribution of spherical silver nanoparticles with very narrow diameter distribution that rounds about 14–21 ± 5 nm. In general, the silver nanoparticle presence in the compounds enhances considerably their thermal/morphological characteristics.

Two Discrete Cu-Complexes Constructed from a Multidentate N-Containing Dinucleating Ligand

Two comparable discrete complexes [CuⅡ(CH3CN)2L2]·2(ClO4) 1 and [CuI2I2L2]·(DMF)2 2 were successfully synthesized by the reaction of CuⅡ and CuⅠ salts with a novel dinucleating ligand 2,5-bis(3-pyridinylmethylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazole)(L),respectively.Complex 1 presents a single nuclear structure while 2 has a dimeric structure where two CuI ions are doubly bridged by halide ions in a μ2-fashion.Both discrete molecules were outspreaded into a one-dimensional supramolecular chain via aromatic interactions such as C-H…π and π…π interactions.     

Magnetization and EPR of a series of Cr squarate dimers

A series of Cr(III) dimers were synthesized from a parent compound [Cr₂(μ-oxo)₂(μ_1,2-C₄O₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O (I) by ligand substitution. The compounds have been analyzed using variable frequency EPR (9–110 GHz) and magnetic susceptibility as a function of field (0–9 T) and temperature (1.9–300 K) to obtain their electronic g-values, exchange energies, and zero-field parameters. The parent compound exhibits a broad maximum around 34 K characteristic of a dimer with antiferromagnetic coupling that fit the Van Vleck susceptibility model well. It was found that the maxima could be tuned from 34 to 80 K by ligand substitution of the waters. Each compound possesses a characteristic color spanning the range of teal to pink. The g-value of each compound was found to be ∼1.98 using spectral simulation. The DMSO derivative is water soluble and has a high LC₅₀ for PC3 cancer cells, suggesting its use as a magnetic resonance imaging agent. X-ray crystal structure of the DMSO derivative [Cr₂(μ-oxo)₂(μ_1,2-C₄O₄)₂(C₂H₆SO)₄]·2H₂O (II) revealed that the DMSO ligands are equatorial, and the squarate groups bridge the two chromiums. This is in contrast to the previously proposed structure of the parent compound where the water ligands were axial and the equatorial squarate groups did not bridge the chromiums. These compounds are interesting because of their ease of synthesis, and their wide range of magnetic behavior. The compounds are good probes into antiferromagnetic dimer exchange by controlling the ligand field surrounding the superexchange pathway present in the molecule.

Synthesis and characteristics of novel chelate fiber containing amine and amidine groups

A polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber was adopted for the backbone of a chelate polymer and poly(acrylo‐amidino ethylene amine) (PAEA) was prepared through a one‐step reaction between the PAN fiber and ethylenediamine (EDA). The maximum removal capacity and degree of substitution were 7.8 meq per gram of dried PAEA and 98%, respectively. The PAEA was tested as an adsorbent in single and two‐component metal aqueous solutions under changing pH. The Cu²⁺ ion accomplished maximum adsorption amount at pH 3 and the order of maximum adsorbed amounts on PAEA is Cu²⁺ > Ag⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Pb²⁺ in molar basis. FT‐IR spectroscopy was employed to characterize the chemical bonding in metal aqueous solutions and surface morphology was examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
