Using Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization for the Synthesis of Grafted PVDF Copolymers towards the Synthesis of Membranes

Graft copolymers of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylic acid) (PVDF-g-PSPMA), poly(styrene-4-sulfonic acid) (PVDF-g-PSSA), and poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDVFg-PDMAEMA) were synthesized. The aforementioned grafted copolymers were prepared from the corresponding (PDVF-g-PSPMPS) poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium) and (PVDF-g-PSSS) poly(styrene-4-sulfonate sodium) salts using PVDF as a macroinitiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The copolymers were casted into membranes by the phase inversion method in aqueous media. The effects of polymerization time, degree of conversion, chain transfer agent (CTA) additive, crosslink process, and various solvents were investigated. The products were characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The maximum grafting incorporation was up to 26, 20 and 20 wt % for PSSA, PSPMA and PDMAEMA, respectively. The incorporation was reduced using a CTA additive. The most impressive feature of the graft copolymer membranes produced in this study are the improved water fluxes and polyethylene glycol (PEG) rejection properties when compared to the commercially available, pristine PVDF.

Poly(methylphenylphosphazene)–Graft–Poly(methyl Methacrylate) Copolymers Via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to graft poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, onto poly(methylphenylphosphazene), [(Me)(Ph)PN] _n , PMPP. A two-step process was used to convert a portion of the methyl substituents on [(Me)(Ph)PN] _n to –CH₂C(CH₃)₂OH groups and then to bromoalkyl groups, –CH₂C(CH₃)₂OC(=O)C(CH₃)₂Br, the latter of which served as initiation sites for ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of CuCl/bipyridine. Variations in the length of the grafted chains were investigated and the graft copolymers were compared to the parent polymer and blends of similar composition. The new bromoalkyl derivatives of [(Me)(Ph)PN] _n and the PMPP–graft–PMMA copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We dedicate this paper to Professor Harry R. Allcock for consistently maintaining the highest standards in his creative, pioneering work in inorganic rings and polymers.

Atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated with a macroinitiator of poly(vinyl acetate)

Well‐defined poly(vinyl acetate‐b‐methyl methacrylate) block copolymers were successfully synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in p‐xylene with CuBr as a catalyst, 2,2′‐bipyridine as a ligand, and trichloromethyl‐end‐grouped poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc–CCl₃) as a macroinitiator that was prepared via the telomerization of vinyl acetate with chloroform as a telogen. The block copolymers were characterized with gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared, and ¹H‐NMR. The effects of the solvent and temperature on ATRP of MMA were studied. The control over a large range of molecular weights was investigated with a high [MMA]/[PVAc–CCl₃] ratio for potential industry applications. In addition, the mechanism of the polymerization was discussed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 1089–1094, 2006     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(n‐butyl methacrylate)‐b‐polystyrene diblock copolymers by atom transfer radical emulsion polymerization

Poly(n‐butyl methacrylate) (PBMA)‐b‐polystyrene (PSt) diblock copolymers were synthesized by emulsion atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). PBMA macroinitiators that contained alkyl bromide end groups were obtained by the emulsion ATRP of n‐butyl methacrylate with BrCH₃CHCOOC₂H₅ as the initiator; these were used to initiate the ATRP of styrene (St). The latter procedure was carried out at 85°C with CuCl/4,4′‐di(5‐nonyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine as the catalyst and polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl ether as the surfactant. With this technique, PBMA‐b‐PSt diblock copolymers were synthesized. The polymerization was nearly controlled; the ATRP of St from the macroinitiators showed linear increases in number‐average molecular weight with conversion. The block copolymers were characterized with IR spectroscopy, ¹H‐NMR, and differential scanning calorimetry. The effects of the molecular weight of the macroinitiators, macroinitiator concentration, catalyst concentration, surfactant concentration, and temperature on the polymerization were also investigated. Thermodynamic data and activation parameters for the ATRP are also reported. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 98: 2123–2129, 2005

Atom Transfer Radical Block Copolymerization of 2‐(N,N‐Dimethylamino)ethyl Methacrylate and 2‐Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate

Block copolymerization of 2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was studied in methanol using a macroinitiator method and a “one‐pot” sequential addition method. The polymerization sequence of the two monomers strongly affected the block copolymer formation. When DMAEMA was used as the first monomer, both methods produced block copolymer samples containing significant amounts of DMAEMA homopolymer chains, because of the elimination of active halogen chain‐ends during the preparation of polyDMAEMA. Well‐controlled block copolymers with various block lengths were obtained via the macroinitiator method when polyHEMA was used as macroinitiator to initiate the polymerization of DMAEMA. The sequential addition method, in which HEMA was polymerized first with 90% conversion and DMAEMA was subsequently added, also yielded controlled block copolymers when the polymerization was carried out at room temperature with the DMAEMA conversion below 60%. Increasing the temperature to 60 °C promoted the copolymerization rate but the reaction suffered from gel formation. The addition of water to the system accelerated the polymerization rate, but led to the loss of the system livingness.

Copper Removal in Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization through Electrodeposition

Summary: We describe the removal of copper from atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) through electrochemistry. tert‐Butyl methacrylate ATRP initiated by a PEO macroinitiator was run with CuBr complexed by N‐alkyl‐2‐pyridylmethanimine (Schiff base) or 2,2′‐bipyridyl (bpy) as catalyst. Voltammetry experiments using a CuBr/(Schiff base N‐morpholine‐2‐pyridylmethanimine)₂ complex on a Pt electrode shows an oxidation peak of the ligand at 1.2 V permitting the oxidative destruction of the complex and so the elimination of copper. Using a Hg electrode, it is possible to directly reduce these complexes (at ?2.1 V for the morpholine‐2‐pyridylmethanimine, ?2.19 V for the butyl‐2‐pyridylmethanimine, and ?2.25 V for the bpy). This complex reduction, followed by the formation of a copper amalgam, leads to the quantitative removal of copper and proceeds without polymer degradation.

Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic block copolymers of methyl methacrylate with poly(ethylene oxide) macroinitiators formed by atom transfer radical polymerization

Amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization in bulk and in various solvents with a difunctional PEO macroinitiator and a Cu(I)X/N,N,N′,N″,N″‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine catalyst system at 85°C where X=Cl or Br. The polymerization proceeded via controlled/living process, and the molecular weights of the obtained block copolymers increased linearly with monomer conversion. In the process, the polydispersity decreased and finally reached a value of less than 1.3. The polymerization followed first‐order kinetics with respect to monomer concentration, and increases in the ethylene oxide repeating units or chain length in the macroinitiator decreased the rate of polymerization. The rate of polymerization of MMA with the PEO chloro macroinitiator and CuCl proceeded at approximately half the rate of bromo analogs. A faster rate of polymerization and controlled molecular weights with lower polydispersities were observed in bulk polymerization compared with polar and nonpolar solvent systems. In the bulk polymerization, the number‐average molecular weight by gel permeation chromatography (M_n,GPC) values were very close to the theoretical line, whereas lower than the theoretical line were observed in solution polymerizations. The macroinitiator and their block copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ¹H‐NMR, matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry, thermogravimetry (TG)/differential thermal analysis (DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). TG/DTA studies of the homo and block copolymers showed two‐step and multistep decomposition patterns. The DSC thermograms exhibited two glass‐transition temperatures at ?17.7 and 92°C for the PEO and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blocks, respectively, which indicated that microphase separation between the PEO and PMMA domains. SEM studies indicated a fine dispersion of PEO in the PMMA matrix. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 97: 989–1000, 2005     

原子转移自由基聚合体系中催化剂的脱除

采用甲苯为溶剂,酸性三氧化二铝为吸附剂脱除原子转移自由基聚合体系中的含铜催化剂,ICP AES表征铜的含量可降至10-6级。研究了两种催化剂CuCl/bpy和CuCl/dNbpy对苯乙烯和甲基丙烯酸丁酯的原子转移自由基本体和乳液聚合的催化及脱除, 结果表明:虽然CuCl/dNbpy对聚合反应具有较好的催化活性,但由于与聚合物具有较好的相溶性,使得催化剂较难从体系中脱除,脱除效果次于 CuCl/bpy。而乳液聚合,由于体系的复杂性,使其在吸附剂脱除之后聚合物中的铜含量高于本体聚合。
