Synthesis and Characterization of Isotactic Poly(1-hexene)/Branched Polyethylene Multiblock Copolymer via Chain Shuttling Polymerization Technique
2018
Understanding from the underlying mechanism of chain shuttling polymerization (CSP) is limited due to scarceness of successful reports and incompetence of traditional characterization techniques to distinguish blocky structures. Here, a simple synthesis approach for production of an isotactic poly(1-hexene)/branched polyethylene multiblock copolymer from a 1-hexene monomer is presented. Resulting copolymers can be easily characterized because of their solubility in most organic solvents. This novel blocky architecture is synthesized using ansa-ethylenebis(1-η5-indenyl)zirconium dichloride and α-diimine nickel(II) bromide catalysts. While the former participates in 1,2-enchainment of monomer…
