Zur verzögernden wirkung aromatischer aldehyde auf die radikalische polymerisation von vinylverbindungen

1972

Die Einwirkung einer Reihe aromatischer Aldehyde auf die mit α.α-′Azobisisobuttersaurenitril gestarteten Polymerisationen von Styrol und Methacrylsauremethylester wurde untersucht (a) durch Vergleich der Polymerausbeuten; (b) durch quantitative Analyse der UV-Spektren der gereinigten Polymeren und (c) durch Vergleich ihrer Mn- und Mn-Werte. Bei der Styrolpolymerisation zeigen 4-Phenyl-benzaldehyd und Indol-3-aldehyd keine Einwirkung. 4-Phenylazo-benzaldehyd, Benzaldehyd, Anthracen-9-aldehyd und m-(2.4-Dinitrophenoxy)-benzaldehyd verzogern die Polymerisation. Bis auf Benzaldehyd wird hierbei ihr kovalenter Einbau in das Polystyrol nachgewiesen. Fur 4-Phenylazo-benzaldehyd konnte eine scheinb…

Method for Synthesis and Screening of Large Groups of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

2011

A technique for the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in small scale (∼55 mg) coupled with direct in situ processing and batch rebinding evaluation is reported. The primary assessment is based on quantification by HPLC or UV absorbance measurement of the amount of template released from the polymer in a given solvent. This method allows a rapid screening of the parameters of importance to reach a desired level of binding affinity capacity and selectivity for a given target molecule. This was demonstrated for the triazine herbicide terbutylazine, where an initial screening was performed for the type of functional monomer used in the MIP preparation. Thus among the six functi…

Polydispersity effects on the phase diagram of the system chloroform/poly-l-(lactic acid)/poly(methyl methacrylate) and morphology of PLA/PMMA films

2000

Abstract Cloud point curve, critical composition and several critical coexistence curves were measured at 25°C for the ternary system poly- l -(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) — where both polymers exhibit broad molecular weight distributions — and the common solvent chloroform. In contrast to the situation encountered in the absence of the second polymer both branches of the critical coexistence curves are located without any doubt inside the miscibility gap as defined by the cloud point curve. This unexpected experimental finding is corroborated by model calculations on the basis of continuous thermodynamics. The removal of solvent from the ternary mixtures yields fil…

The determination of average molecular weights and the characterization of molecular weight distributions by the ratio of the weight- to number-average molecular weights Mw/Mn from sedimentation equilibrium in the ultracentrifuge are described. The essential measurement of the density profile of the mixed solvent is conducted according to Munk (Macromolecules15, 500 (1982)). Special evaluation of the polymer band in the equilibrium allowed to deduce from the observed concentration profile Mw and Mn of a series of poly(methyl methacrylate) samples and thus to characterize the molecular weight distribution of the samples.

Organometallic ABC-triblock copolymers

1998

The interaction of Fe and Pd complexes with double bonds of the polybutadiene (PB) block in polystyrene-polybutadiene-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers has been studied. The incorporation of Fe(CO)3 fragments into the PB bloc was found to result in an increase in its rigidity. The presence of iron or palladium complexes in the PB block affects strongly the morphology of the triblock copolymers.

Vapor-phase testing of the memory-effects in benzene- and toluene-imprinted polymers conditioned at elevated temperature.

2013

Abstract The preparation of polymers imprinted with common aromatic solvents such as benzene and toluene is an under-exploited subject of research. The present study was aimed at the understanding of whether true solvent memory effects can be achieved by molecular imprinting, as well as if they are stable at elevated temperature. A set of copolymers, comprising low and high cross-linking levels, was prepared from four different combinations of functional monomer and cross-linker, namely methacrylic acid (MAA)/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), methyl methacrylate (MMA)/EGDMA, MAA/divinyl benzene (DVB) and MMA/DVB. Each possible combination was prepared separately in benzene, toluene an…

1977

A preparation method is described by means of which it is possible to transfer individual molecules of a high molecular weight polymer on a support, in order to determine their mass and therefrom their molecular weight distribution, using our previously published electron microscopic method. The advantages of the new procedure as compared to the previously described freeze-drying are 1 that the range of solvents, which can be used is much larger, and 2 that the preparation is performed by evaporation from a dilute solution, which means that the molecules are distributed statistically on the support. The risk of formation of associates is avoided by keeping the polymer concentration correspo…

Optical properties of different polymer thin films containing in situ synthesized Ag and Au nanoparticles

2009

Here we report on the in situ synthesis of Ag and Au nanoparticles inside several polymer matrixes by solid-state chemical reduction of a metallic salt. Poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), novolak, poly(4-vinylphenol) (P4VP), poly(4-vinylphenol)-co-(methyl methacrylate) (P4VP-co-MMA) and poly(styrene-co-allyl alcohol) (PS-co-AA) were able to reduce Ag(I) and Au(III) to the corresponding nanoparticles during the baking process. The nanoparticle diameters of Ag and Au were found to range from 2 to 25 nm. TEM also indicated a uniform distribution of nanoparticles embedded in the thin film. This approach is suitable for controlling t…

Mechanism of anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of aluminium alkyls

1995

Methyl methacrylate was polymerized with tert-butyl lithium in the presence of triethylaluminium or triisobutylaluminium at 78°C in toluene. As indicated by GPC and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, the polymerization is accompanied by side reactions. The lower oligomers were fractionated by distillation and characterised by NMR, FT-IR, UV and electron impact (EI) mass spectrometry. All these data show that part of the polymer chains are carrying exactly one tert-butyl isoprenyl ketone unit. In order to avoid the formation of tert-butyl isoprenyl ketone a molar ratio of Al/Li>2 is necessary.
