SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL BI-FUNCTIONAL COPOLYMER BEARING STERICALLY HINDERED PHENOL AND HINDERED AMINE GROUPS VIA RING-OPENING METATHESIS POLYMERIZATION

Norbornene derivatives exo,endo-2-2-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenoxy)-acetoxy]methyl-5-norbornene(M1) and 3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl 5-norbornene-exo,endo-2-carboxylate(M2)were synthesized and polymerized by RuCl2(=CHPh)(PCy3)2 to prepare a novel kind of bi-functional polymer bearing sterically hindered phenol (SHP) and hindered amine(HLAS)groups via ring-opening metathesis polymerization(ROMP).The resulting copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography(GPC),'H-NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).The number average molecular weight(Mn)and functional unit content of the resulting copolymer could be regulated by varying the concentration of catalyst and monomer feed.
