Synthesis of Photoreactive Block Copolymers Based on 1-Iminopyridinium Ylides

2010

Two photoreactive pyridinium ylide containing monomers, {[2-(metacryloyloxy)ethoxy]carbonyl}(pyridinium-1-yl)azanide (M1) and pyridinium-1-yl-(4-vinylbenzoyl)azanide (M2), were synthesized. Both monomers were polymerized under controlled radical polymerization conditions, i.e. reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (M1 and M2) and nitroxide-mediated polymerization (M2). Further block copolymers PMMA-b-PM1 and PS-b-PM2 were successfully synthesized and their molecular weight, Mn, and block ratio could be determined by 1H NMR analysis, thereby opening the synthetic possibilities of photoreactive ylides in block copolymer syntheses.

Polymerization of methyl and phenyl oxazoline initiated with alkyl chloroformates

2010

It has been shown that alkyl chloroformates are capable of initiating the polymerization of oxazolines. Esters itself initiate rather slowly and the polymerization proceeds via covalent growing species. Exchange of counter ions with triflate or iodide anions leads to faster initiation and higher reaction rates. The polymerization is of living character.

Kinetics of Group Transfer Polymerization

1987

The group transfer polymerization (GTP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and tert.-butyl methacrylate (TBMA), catalyzed by bifluoride, is of first order with respect to monomer and catalyst concentrations. A slightly negative order with respect to initiator concentration is observed, indicating an inhibitive function of the initiator. Termination reactions occur at lower catalyst concentrations. They are very pronounced for TBMA and result in incomplete conversions. For MMA, at lower catalyst and higher initiator concentrations, induction periods are observed which increase when lowering the temperature. This is related with the formation of active chains. The Arrhenius plots for the propagatio…

A macromonomer was prepared from succinimido methacrylate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPA) with an amino end group. The macronomer (MA-PIPA) obtained shows a temperature-responsive transition phenomenon from coil to globule in water at about 36°C. For the copolymer of MA-PIPA with acrylamide (ratio of monomer residues of N-isopropylacrylamide (IPA) and acrylamide (AAm) 10:3), the transition temperature of the PIPA chain was the same as that of the macromonomer, whereas the transition temperature of a linear copolymer of IPA and AAm (ratio of the monomer residues 10:3) was much higher than that of PIPA (52°C). Microspheres were prepared by emulsion polymerization of the macromonomer an…

Die bestimmung des zahlenmittels des molekulargewichts von polystyrolen und der kombinationsabbruch bei der polymerisation von styrol

1964

Es wurden Polystyrole durch radikalische Polymerisation von Styrol mit dem Diacylperoxyd der 3-Benzolazobenzoesaure hergestellt. Das Zahlenmittel der Molekulargewichte (Mn, Ext.)wurde durch Extinktionsmessungen erhalten, wenn man zwei aus dem Diacylperoxyd stammende Endgruppen je Makromolekul annimmt. Diese Werte stimmen innerhalb der ublichen Fehlerstreuung mit osmotisch bestimmten Molekulargewichten (Mn,osm.) uberein. Damit ist ein unabhangiger Beweis erbracht, das die untersuchten Polystyrolmakromolekule sich uber den Kombinationsabbruch gebildet haben. Von unfraktionierten und fraktionierten Polystyrolen wurde die Uneinheitlichkeit bestimmt (U = Mη/Mn). Sie ist fur unfraktionierte Polys…

1984

A dimeric biradical •M plays a central role in the initiation of the spontancous polymerization of methyl methacrylate (M1). Besides the initiation step by chain transfer reaction, a change of the multiplicity of ˙M seems to be of importance. Evidence is given by heavy atoms in the solvent or in an inert gas atmosphere, leading to an acceleration of the overall polymerization rate. The observed effect is related to the atomic number of the respective heavy atom. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the effect for carbon tetrachloride show that — as expected — no activation energy is needed for this reaction step. The results are summarized in a reaction scheme for the initiation me…

Gemischte Diester von 2,2′-Methylendiphenolen mit Methacryl- und Crotonsäure und ihre Polymeren. 13C NMR-Untersuchungen zur Strukturaufklärung

1984

The structure of mixed diesters of three 2,2′-methylenediphenols with crotonic acid and methacrylic acid was studied by 13C NMR-spectroscopy. The position of the two acyl groups, expected from the synthetic pathway, was unambiguously confirmed by comparison with the corresponding mono- and diesters containing the same acyl group. In the same way, it was shown that the crotonoyl residue is not involved in the radical polymerisation of these esters.

Polymerisation von acrylnitril, methylmethacrylat und einigen substituierten acrylnitrilen mit anorganischen nitraten. Zur polymerisation von acryini…

1968

Die radikalische Polymerisation von Acrylnitril (AN), Methacrylnitril, α-Chloracrylnitril, Crotonsaurenitril und Methylmethacrylat wird unter Bestrahlung bei 60°C in An wesenheit von AgNo3 untersucht, und die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeiten werden verglichen. Unterschiede in der Polymerisationsfahigkeit einzelner Monomerer lassen sich teilweise auf Komplexbildung mit AgNO3 zurackfahren. Es werden einige andere anorganische Nitrate als Initiatoren eingesetzt; ihre Aktivitat entspricht der Stellung der Kationen in der Spannungsreihe. Als Teil der Initiierungsreaktion wird eine Reduktion des Metallions angenommen; daher kann eine Abnahme der Kationenkonzentration bei AgNO3 und besonders bei C…

Photo-Crosslinking of Copolymeric Methacrylates Bearing Stilbene Chromophores

2012

Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (2) as major component and the methacrylates 1a or 1b, which contain an (E)-stilbene unit fixed by a tether to the ester group, yield easily soluble copolymers 3a, b. Whereas the dominant photoreactions in solution are (E)⇄Z) isomerizations and intra-chain [2π +2π] cycloadditions, cast films of 3a, b give an inter-chain photo-crosslinking on irradiation. Compared to homopolymers, the copolymers are not only better soluble and more easily processible, their films show less undesired light scattering. The cross-linked material is completely insoluble in organic solvents. Thus, it represents the basis for negative photoresists and the corresponding…
