Structure of poly(L‐lactic acid)s prepared by the dehydropolycondensation of L‐lactic acid with organotin catalysts

The synthesis of low‐molecular‐weight (weight‐average molecular weight < 45,000 g/mol) lactic acid polymers through the dehydropolycondensation of L ‐lactic acid was investigated. Polymerizations were carried out in solution with solvents (xylene, mesitylene, and decalin), without a solvent using different Lewis acid catalysts (tetraphenyl tin and tetra‐n‐butyldichlorodistannoxane), and at three different polymerization temperatures (143, 165, and 190 °C). The products were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry, size exclusion chromatography, vapor pressure osmometry, ¹³C NMR, and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF). The resulting polymers contained less than 1 mol % lactide, as shown by NMR. The number‐average molecular weights were calculated from the ratio of the area peaks of ester carbonyl and carboxylic acid end groups via ¹³C NMR. The stereosequences were analyzed by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy on the basis of triad effects. Tetraphenyl tin was an effective transesterification catalyst, and the randomization of the stereosequence at 190 °C was observed. In contrast, the distannoxane catalyst caused comparatively less transesterification reaction, and the randomization of the stereosequences was slow even at 190 °C. The L ‐lactic acid and D ‐lactic acid isomers were added to the polymer chain in a small, blocky fashion. The MALDI‐TOF spectra of poly(L ‐lactic acid) (PLA) chains doped with Na⁺ and K⁺ cations showed that the PLA chains had the expected end groups. The MALDI‐TOF analysis also enabled the simultaneous detection of the cyclic oligomers of PLA present in these samples, and this led to the full structural characterization of the molecular species in PLA. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

由Mg(nBu)2制备的MgCl2载体催化剂的烯烃聚合动力学

讨论了催化剂ＣＤ，ＣＭ和ＣＤ－Ａ的乙烯和丙烯聚合动力学曲线，只有催化剂ＣＤ在丙烯聚合时加入外给电子体其动力学曲线为上升－衰减型，其它均为衰减型，催化剂ＣＤ丙烯聚合活性高于催化剂ＣＭ。丙烯聚合时加入外给电子体使总活性中心浓度降低，但等规中心浓度反应增加。同种载体制备的催化剂ＣＤ和ＣＤ－Ａ载钛过程中加入内给电子体，可使其聚合活性增加，在一定范围内，随Ａｌ／Ｔｉ增加，在一定范围内，随Ａｌ／Ｔｉ增加，催化     

聚丙烯腈七单元组空间立构性的高分辨13C NMR表征

通过调整溶液浓度和测试温度等测试参数,与文献[1]比较我们获得了无规聚丙烯腈(PAN)和部分全同PAN样品更高分辨率的¹³C核磁共振谱. 合理归属了次甲基碳的五单元组（mmmm、mmmr和rmmr）、腈基碳与次甲基碳的七单元组（mmmmmm、mmmmmr和rmmmmr）各特征峰. 无规PAN样品服从伯努利统计模型. 一级马尔科夫和二级马尔科夫统计模型分别被用于定量计算部分全同PAN样品的五单元组和七单元组的立构分布. 计算了不同立构规整度样品的“全同单元段”和“间同单元段”平均长度, 从另一方面证实了上述的七单元组归属的正确性.
