Synthesis of Fullerene-end Functionalized Poly（methyl methacrylate） via Reverse Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

The use of the reverse atom transfer radical polymerization （RATRP） to end-functionalize poly（methyl methacrylate） （PMMA） with fullerenes, e.g. C60 and C70 was described in this paper. The Cl-terrninated PMMA was prepared via RATRP with designed molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distributions, and then directly used to react with fullerenes to produce C60（C70） terminated PMMA polymers in the presence of CuBr/Cu/bipy or FeCl2/bipy catalysts. The resultant polymers exhibit good solubility in some common organic solvents, e.g. THF, CHCl3 and toluene, and were well structurally characterized by a variety of physical techniques.

Application of the essential work of fracture concept to nanostructured polymer materials

The first part of the paper deals with a critical discussion of the methodical basis of essential work of fracture (EWF) concept with respect to the specimen geometry (especially the notch depth) and application to polymers. In the second part, an in situ testing device, which combines a tensile testing machine with an optical strain-field measuring system, has successfully demonstrated possibility of characterization of fracture behaviour of polystyrene-polybutadiene block copolymers and block copolymer/homopolymer blends as examples of nanostructured polymer materials. It has been shown that knowledge of the time evolution of the strain field close to the crack tips leads to a simple verification of the basic precondition for the applicability of the EWF concept, the precondition “plastic zone coalescence-before-stable crack propagation”.     

The effect of ionising radiation on poly(methyl methacrylate) used in intraocular lenses

Gamma radiation is increasingly being used to sterilise intraocular lenses (IOLs) made from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). In this study, samples of PMMA used in the fabrication of IOLs were exposed to irradiation doses typically used for their sterilisation. The effect of this treatment on the polymer was analysed by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PMMA was found to have undergone chain scission, decarboxylation and colour change following the irradiation.     

Graft copolymer of polymethyl methacrylate-g-polycarbonate urethane and the fully gelled grafted networks

We have synthesized and characterized the graft copolymer of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-graft-polycarbonate urethane (PCU) (designated PMMA-g-PCU) and the fully gelled mutually crosslinked network composed of both PMMA and PCU (designated as PMMA-PCU-N). Unlike the previously synthesized one phase PCU/PMMA simultaneous interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN's), both of these new materials exhibited two distinct T_g's (from DSC and DMA studies) at all compositions which we have studied. The two-phase nature of the graft and network polymer was confirmed by TEM with domain sizes smaller than those found in the blends of the linear PCU and PMMA chains. In comparison with the corresponding IPN's, the PMMA-g-PCU and the PMMA-PCU-N were thermally less stable and had a lower ultimate strength. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

微波聚合制备单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯微球

在微波辐照下,通过甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)的无乳化剂乳液聚合,制备出粒径单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)微球。微波显著缩短聚合诱导期,加快聚合反应,其部分原因是微波加快引发剂过硫酸钾(KPS)的分解。实验证明微波辐照下KPS的表观分解活化能(ED)由128.3kJ/mol降低到106.0kJ/mol。单体浓度是影响PMMA乳液粒子尺寸的主要因素,在[MMA]小于0.3mol/L时,平均粒径随单体浓度提高而线形增加;[MMA]为0.3～1.0mol/L时,平均粒径稳定在约200nm;之后随单体浓度进一步增加,乳液稳定性变差。引发剂浓度增加对平均粒径影响较小,但增大引发剂浓度可显著降低粒径分散度。选取[MMA]为0.23～0.3mol/L、[KPS]为3×10-3～6×10-3mol/L可以得到粒径200nm的单分散微球。以丙酮/水(体积比1/3)为反应介质,可制备出数均粒径45nm的PMMA纳米粒子。在体系中加入3.5×10-3mol/L的Cu2+,可制备出数均粒径67nm、单分散的PMMA纳米粒子。

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF POLYSTYRENE／LAPONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

Exfoliated polystyrene (PS)/laponite nanocomposites were prepared successfully. The characteristic doo1 diffraction peak of organo-laponite disappeared in the XRD patterns of nanocomposites, indicating that the laponite layers were exfoliated and the ordered crystal structure of laponite was destroyed because of the styrene polymerization. TEM observations showed that the exfoliated laponite primary particles were dispersed randomly in the PS matrix with lateral dimensions from 1 nm to 10 rim. SEM results showed that the PS/laponite nanocomposite particles were almost monodispersed spheres with the size of about 120 rim. Because of the interaction between PS and laponite nanolayers, the nanocomposites exhibited higher thermal stability and glass transition temperature when compared to pure PS.     

Thermally stimulated depolarization currents of tactic polymethyl methacrylates and their mixtures

Summary Thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) of atactic (a), syndiotactic (s) and isotactic (i) PMMA and mixtures ofs- andi-PMMA were measured. In pure tactic PMMA, TSDC peak was obtained at a temperature corresponding to the glass transition temperature of each PMMA. TSDC of mixtures isolated as precipitates from 1/1 and 1/2 (i/sweight ratio) mixed solutions showed a peak which can be attributed to the glass transition temperature of the stereocomplex. TSDC of original l/1 mixture showed two peaks which are ascribed to the glass transition temperature of residual i-PMMA and the stereocomplex. The results suggests that stereocomplex formation occurs ini/s weight ratio of 1/2 independent of the way of preparation.With 9 figures and 1 table
