分子活动性对iso-PMMA辐射裂解和消旋的影响

以全同立构聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(iso-PMMA)为对象, 用核磁共振谱和分子量测定等手段, 研究了不同物理状态, 即无定型固态, 结晶态和稀溶液状态下的辐射裂解和辐射消旋反应. 结果表明, 在稀溶液状态下辐照, 其裂解反应最强, 而消旋反应最弱; 结晶状态下辐照, 则裂解反应最弱而消旋反应最强. 这充分说明了分子的活动性对反应的影响, 进一步验证了前已提出的高分子链断裂-重合-消旋的平衡反应机理.

THE EFFECT OF MOBILITY OF MOLECULES ON RADIATION-INDUCED CHAIN SCISSION AND RACEMIZATION OF ISO-POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE)

The radiation-induced chain-scission and racemization of isotactic poly(methylmethacrylate)(iso-PMMA) in amorphous and semi-crystalline state as well as in solution have been studied with nuclear magnetic resonance and molar mass deter-mination. It is shown that the chain-scission is dominant for iso-PMMA in dilute solution while the racemization reaction is not favorable in this case. On the contrary, the racemization is favorable when iso-PMMA was irradiated in its crystalline state while chain-scission is not. Such experimental results could be well explained by the mobility of molecules and "cage effect". The hypothesis, we proposed previously that the chain-scission, racemization and recombination are in competition and the final result depends on the state of molecular motion at which iso-PMMA was irradiated, has been verified verified once again.
