Star-Like Polymers of tert -Butyl Acrylate via Controlled Radical Polymerization - Synthesis and Properties
Summary: Star polymers with different numbers and lengths of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) arms were obtained by the core-first method via atom transfer and iodine mediated radical polymerization. Multifunctional initiators with different numbers of initiating groups (from 3 to 28) were used to initiate the polymerization of tert-butyl acrylate, yielding stars with different numbers of arms. The structures of the stars were characterized by NMR and gel permeation chromatography with refractive index, multiangle laser light scattering and viscosimetric detectors.
Core‐shell nanoparticles with hyperbranched poly(arylene‐oxindole) interiors
Opracowano synteze wysoce rozgalezionego poli(aryleno-oksyndolu) na drodze reakcji polimeryzacji pochodnej 5-bromoizatyny, a nastepnie modyfikacji terminalnych jednostek izatynowych. Tak przygotowany polimerowy rdzen, charakteryzujący sie stopniem rozgalezienia 100 %, byl substratem do rodnikowej polimeryzacji z przeniesieniem atomu (z ang. ATRP) w reakcji z akrylanem tert-butylu. Otrzymane kopolimery zawierające hydrofobowy rdzen i alkilowe lancuchy zakonczone wolnymi grupami karboksylowymi tworzą sferyczne nanocząstki. Przedstawiono wstepne wyniki badan dotyczących ich wlaściwości fizykochemicznych oraz potencjalnych zastosowan.
Solution behavior of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) star polymers
Abstract This paper reports the synthesis of 4-arm poly( tert -butyl acrylate) stars of different molar masses up to 10 6 g/mol by the “core-first” method using ATRP. All obtained stars have a monomodal and narrow molar-mass distribution ( The dilute-solution properties of these star polymers were investigated in good solvents (tetrahydrofuran and acetone). Gel permeation chromatography and dynamic and static light scattering were used to measure the hydrodynamic properties including intrinsic viscosity [ η ], radius of gyration R g , hydrodynamic radius R h , second virial coefficient A 2 and diffusion coefficient D 0 . These data were used to establish relationships between these paramet…
Synthesis and characterization of well-defined poly(tert-butyl acrylate) star polymers
Abstract Star polymers with different numbers and lengths of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PTBA) arms were obtained via atom transfer radical polymerization. Aliphatic alcohols with different number of hydroxyl groups varying from 3 to 6 and calix[4]arenes based on pyrogallol with 12 and 16 phenol groups were transformed to bromoester derivatives to prepare multifunctional ATRP initiators used as the cores of the stars. The star polymers were characterized by GPC with refractive index, multiangle laser light scattering and viscosimetric detectors. The molar masses of the stars reached 70,000 g/mol and the molar mass dispersities did not exceed 1.2. To elucidate the compact structure of the sta…
