THE SYNTHESIS OF ULTRA-HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSTYRENE AND POLYMERIZATION KINETICS

Calix[n]Nd/MgBu n 2/HMPA is an effective catalytic system for the synthesis of the ultra high molecular weight polystyrene (UHMWPS).The catalytic activity of different Calix[n]Nd complex decreases in the following order:Calix[6]Nd>Calix[4]Nd>Calix[8]Nd.It shows that the aging of catalyst plays an important role on catalytic activity.The optimum conditions are as follow:Mg/Nd=20 0(molar ratio),HMPA/Mg=1 0(molar ratio),and aged 2 5?h under 50℃.The study of influence of solvent shows that toluene is a good solvent.The polymerization result shows that the conversion is over 80% at 50℃,45 min.The kinetics of styrene polymerization using Calix[6]Nd 20MgBu n 2 20HMPA in toluene were investigated by weight method.It was found that the rate of polymerization is first order with respect to both monomer (St) and Calix[6]Nd concentrations.According to Arrhenius equation,it was found that polymerization activation energy is 41 7?kJ/mol.GPC characterization of obtained polymer shows: M w=21 0×10 5,MWD=1 61. 1H NMR spectra of UHMWPS shows that the content of syndiotactic triad is 81%.
