This paper provides an overview and discusses some recent developments in radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT polymerization). Guidelines for the selection of RAFT agents are presented. The utility of the RAFT process is then illustrated with several examples of the synthesis of polymers with reactive end-groups. Thus, RAFT polymerization with appropriately designed trithiocarbonate RAFT agents is successfully applied to the synthesis of narrow polydispersity carboxy-functional poly(methyl methacrylate) and primary amino-functional polystyrene. Methods for removing the thiocarbonylthio end-group by aminolysis, reduction and thermal elimination are discussed. It is shown that the thiocarbonylthio end-group can be cleanly cleaved by radical induced reduction with tri-n-butylstannane, to leave a saturated chain end, or by thermolysis, to leave an unsaturated chain end. 相似文献

RAFT (reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer) polymerization, making use of thiocarbonylthio transfer agents, was announced to the world just over 21 years ago. RAFT arose out of a desire to achieve perfection in polymers (or at least to define and limit the imperfections) and to invent living radical polymerization. However, living radical polymerization cannot be and never was. This perspective looks at RAFT after 21 years of development. Is RAFT a mature technology? We briefly summarize areas of current interest focusing on what is happening at CSIRO and point to where RAFT is going in areas such as RAFT free from exogenous initiators (photoRAFT, PET‐RAFT, eRAFT), new RAFT agents, RAFT for sequence‐defined polymers and RAFT single unit monomer insertion, RAFT emulsion polymerization and RAFT polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA), RAFT‐crosslinking polymerization and the industrial applications of RAFT. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The use of reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) crosslinking (co)polymerization of multi‐olefinic monomers to produce three‐dimensional polymer networks is reviewed. We give specific attention to differences between RAFT and conventional processes, differences between RAFT and other forms of reversible deactivation radical polymerization (such as atom transfer radical and nitroxide‐mediated polymerizations) and the dependence of the polymerization process and network properties on RAFT agent structure. This knowledge is important in network optimization for applications as dynamic covalent polymers (in self‐healing polymers), as porous polymer monoliths or gels (used as chromatographic media, flow reactors, controlled release media, drug delivery vehicles and in molecular imprinting) and as coatings. © 2014 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of less‐activated monomers in a controlled fashion is challenging due to the high reactivity and instability of the propagating radicals. We have designed dithiocarbamate‐based RAFT agents with morpholine as activating ‘Z’ group and benzyl, ethyl(1‐ethanoate)yl, ethyl(2‐propanoate)yl and cyanomethyl as ‘R’ leaving groups and investigated them for the reversible deactivation radical polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) and N‐vinylimidazole (N‐VIm). RAFT polymerization of VAc and N‐VIm at 70 °C using azobisisobutyronitrile as a free radical initiator proceeded in a controlled fashion as demonstrated by a linear increase in molar mass with conversion. Interestingly, the polymerization of VAc followed fast kinetics (approx. 60 min) with good to moderate control affording high‐molar‐mass poly(VAc) polymers. Furthermore, the synthesized chain transfer agents were able to polymerize N‐VIm under controlled conditions. The morpholine RAFT agents bearing cyanomethyl and ethyl(2‐propanoate)yl leaving groups showed better control of the polymerization of VAc and N‐VIm compared to the others. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Catalytic thermal cleavage of thiocarbonylthio end‐groups for RAFT synthesized polymers is usually accompanied by other side reactions such as chain‐scission and crosslinking. Occurrence of these side reactions depends on polymers, end‐groups, and oxidation–reduction property of reaction media in a liquid phase. Herein, well‐defined hydrophilic poly(4‐vinylpridine) (P4VP) and hydrophobic polystyrene (PS) are synthesized via a controlled RAFT polymerization in the presence of S‐1‐Dodecyl‐S′‐(R,R′‐dimethyl‐R″‐acetic acid) trithiocarbonates (DDMAT). Then their thiocarbonylthio end‐groups are cleaved through catalytic thermolysis in a liquid phase. Under the catalysis of Cu(0), all S‐containing groups can be removed at 165 °C in 3 h. To study the effect of solvent on thermolysis and microstructure of polymer, nitrobenzene of oxidation property and diethylene glycol of reduction property are chosen as solvents. Because of oxidizing property of nitrobenzene, Z groups of RAFT agent are eliminated at the same time that thiocarbonylthio end‐groups are removed. Therefore crosslinking among multipolymer chains occurs. While diethylene glycol is used as a solvent, no crosslinking occurs. Diethylene glycol is superior to nitrobenzene for synthesis of well‐defined polymer without S‐containing groups. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133, 43992. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Controlled/‘living’ radical polymerization is a new and robust method to synthesize polymers with predetermined molecular weight, narrow polydispersity and tailored architecture. Several methods have been developed but reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) has several advantages over the other methods. It has been reported that the effectiveness of RAFT agents depends strongly on the nature of the Z and R groups. RESULTS: Three new dithiocarbamates, namely (2‐ethoxy carbonyl)‐prop‐2‐yl‐pyrrole‐1‐carbodithioate (CTA‐A), (1‐phenyl ethyl)‐pyrazole‐1‐carbodithioate (CTA‐B) and (2‐ethoxy carbonyl)‐prop‐2‐yl‐pyrazole‐1‐carbodithioate (CTA‐C), were synthesized for studying the effect of the Z and R group of a chain transfer agent on the RAFT polymerization of styrene, initiated by 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile. Well‐controlled molecular weight with narrow polydispersity (1.10–1.46) was achieved. The increase in molecular weight with conversion is linear and follows first‐order kinetics. CONCLUSION: The detailed kinetic results show that the structure of the activating (Z) group of dithiocarbamates has significant effects on the reactivity of dithiocarbamates towards the polymerization of styrene. In the homopolymerization of styrene it was found that, from the polydispersity index of polystyrenes obtained and the kinetic results, the pyrazole‐based dithiocarbamates (CTA‐B and CTA‐C) are very effective compared to the pyrrole‐based dithiocarbamate (CTA‐A). All the polymerizations show controlled living characters. Copyright © 2007 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Thermoresponsive and pH‐responsive gels were synthesized from N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPA) and N,N′‐dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomers. Gelation reactions were carried out with both conventional free‐radical polymerization (CFRP) and controlled free‐radical polymerization [reversible addition fragmentation transfer (RAFT)] techniques. The CFRP gels were prepared by polymerizing mixtures of NIPA and DMAEMA in 1,4‐dioxane in presence of N,N'‐methylene bisacrylamide (BIS) as cross‐linker. The RAFT gels were prepared by a the polymerization of NIPA via a similar process in the presence of different amounts of poly(N,N′‐dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) macro chain‐transfer agent and the crosslinker. These gels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry. SEM analysis revealed a macroporous network structure for the RAFT gels, whereas their volume phase‐transition temperatures (VPTTs) were found to be in the range 32–34°C, close to that of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) gels. However, the CFRP copolymer gels exhibited a higher VPTT; this increased with increasing DMAEMA content. The RAFT gels exhibited higher swelling capabilities than the corresponding CFRP gels and also showed faster shrinking–reswelling behavior in response to changes in temperature. All of the gels showed interesting pH‐responsive behavior as well. The unique structural attributes exhibited by the RAFT gels can potentially open up opportunities for developing new materials for various applications, for example, as adsorbents or carrier of drugs or biomolecules. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The RAFT (Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer) process greatly enhances the control over radical polymerisations, while leaving behind a thiocarbonylthio end-group. Thermolysis presents a convenient and efficient way of removing the thiocarbonylthio end-group from RAFT polymers, without the use of additional reagents. This paper describes a simple two-step flow process for the synthesis of RAFT polymers followed by the subsequent removal of the RAFT end-group via thermolysis, without the need for isolating intermediates. A range of different polymers based on styrene, acrylates, methacrylates and acrylamides were synthesised with different RAFT agents and successfully tested for thermolysis at temperatures between 220 and 250 °C in a stainless steel tube flow reactor, resulting in complete removal of thiocarbonylthio end-groups. 相似文献

Radical thermo‐ and sonopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by iodobenzene 1,1‐diacetate
George S Georgiev Elena B Kamenska Nikolay V Tsarevsky Latchezar K Christov 《Polymer International》2001,50(3):313-318
The efficiency of iodobenzene 1,1‐diacetate or (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (DAIB) as a thermo‐ and sono‐initiator of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in radical bulk polymerization is tested. The polymerization kinetics and molecular‐mass characteristics support an assumption for a combined polymerization mechanism including a classical bimolecular termination with chain transfer reaction and iniferter quasi‐living polymerization. In addition to the equilibrium formation and degradation of the ‘dormant’ polymer ends, other possible decomposition reactions of the hypervalent iodine bond are the probable reason for the deviation of this polymerization from the iniferter polymerization mechanism. These reactions bear some similarity to the two‐step addition–fragmentation chain transfer mechanism of controlled radical polymerization. The application of the poly(MMA) obtained as a macroinitiator is evidence of ‘dormant’ chain end formation. © 2001 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Advances in controlled radical polymerization (CRP) have facilitated access to well-defined polymers with controlled molecular weight, topology, and functionality. However, despite the benefits afforded by many CRP techniques, control over these key polymer attributes often comes at the expense of polymerization rate. One method proposed for accelerating chemical synthesis is microwave heating. This review highlights recent examples of microwave heating being applied during reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. In addition to successfully leading to homopolymers from a variety of monomers, block copolymers have also been prepared by microwave-assisted RAFT, which suggests that the high polymerization rates observed do not necessarily lead to significant end group loss from termination. Despite significant debate regarding the origin of rate enhancement observed during microwave-assisted reactions, the reports included herein provide insight into mechanisms by which well-defined functional polymers can be prepared in an accelerated fashion. 相似文献

Ionizing radiation, such as γ, ultraviolet, microwave and X-ray radiation, has long been used in polymer chemistry as a means of initiating polymerization, crosslinking gels and decomposing particular polymer components. More recently, ionizing radiation has found application in tandem with living radical polymerization to form novel polymeric materials with defined molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution. In particular, γ-rays and ultraviolet light both have shown promise as sources of initiation in reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The ability to apply these sources of initiation at low temperatures is useful in applications where elevated temperature is likely to be detrimental to the system, for instance, in preparing protein-polymer conjugates. Similarly, the use of these initiating sources at low temperature is particularly suitable for some monomers, such as allyl compounds, which have not been synthesized using any other living radical approach. The current review examines the development of ionizing radiation as a tool in RAFT polymerization, with particular reference to the elucidation of the polymerization mechanism, the synthesis of high functionality polymers and probing the kinetic parameters of the RAFT process. 相似文献

Utilization of a flow reactor under high pressure allows highly efficient polymer synthesis via reversible addition–fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT ) polymerization in an aqueous system. Compared with the batch reaction, the flow reactor allows the RAFT polymerization to be performed in a high‐efficiency manner at the same temperature. The adjustable pressure of the system allows further elevation of the reaction temperature and hence faster polymerization. Other reaction parameters, such as flow rate and initiator concentration, were also well studied to tune the monomer conversion and the molar mass dispersity (?) of the obtained polymers. Gel permeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies (FTIR) were utilized to monitor the polymerization process. With the initiator concentration of 0.15 mmol L?1, polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate with monomer conversion of 52% at 100 °C under 73 bar can be achieved within 40 min with narrow molar mass dispersity (D) ? (<1.25). The strategy developed here provides a method to produce well‐defined polymers via RAFT polymerization with high efficiency in a continuous manner. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Diethyl-dithiocarbamic acid 2-[4-(2-diethylthiocarbamoylsulfanyl-2-phenyl-acetyl)-2,5-dioxo-piperazin-1-yl]-2-oxo-1-phenyl-ethyl ester as a novel di-functional reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent was synthesized based on 2,5-diketopiperazine. The RAFT agent was designed based on the propagating core (R group) approach and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and melting point technique. Then, ethyl methacrylate was synthesized via free radical and RAFT polymerizations. To investigate the effect of the RAFT agent on the kinetic of polymerization, molecular weight, and polydispersity index (PDI) of polymers and also monomer conversion were monitored. Also, synthesized polymers were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and TGA. Characterization analyses of synthesized RAFT agent were consistent with the structure. NMR and FTIR analyses confirmed end group incorporation of RAFT agent into polymer structure. According to results, poly(ethyl methacrylate) with low PDI (1.14) was obtained. Kinetic study indicated well-controlled polymerization of ethyl methacrylate by synthesized RAFT agent. TGA results showed that RAFT agent could reduce termination reactions and so reduce head-to-head bonds and chain-end unsaturation by keeping the concentration of radicals low enough. 相似文献

Mechanistic transformations involving living and controlled/living polymerization methods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This review is prepared on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the historic discovery of living anionic polymerization by Michael Szwarc. This process enabled preparation, with good control of polymer architecture, of well-defined polymers such as block and graft copolymers, star polymers, macrocycles, and functional polymers. Transformation reactions provide a facile route to synthesis of block copolymers that cannot be made by a single polymerization mode. A variety of transformation reactions involving step-growth, conventional and controlled free radical, cationic, anionic, group transfer, activated monomer Ziegler–Natta and metathesis reactions are known. In this article, transformation reactions involving living and controlled/living polymerization methods are reviewed. Other possibilities of combining different polymerization methods namely, macromonomer technique, coupling reactions, dual polymerizations and click chemistry are described. Preparation of star and miktoarm-star block copolymers by using mechanistic transformations is also presented. 相似文献

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of an asymmetrical divinyl monomer, vinyl methacrylate (VMA), was investigated under various conditions. RAFT polymerization of VMA using a dithioester-type chain transfer agent (CTA) under suitable conditions afforded soluble polymers with a high content of pendant vinyl ester side chains in sufficient yields (>70%). The monomer concentration, the nature of the CTA, and the CTA/initiator ratio were found to affect the polymerization reaction and the structure of the resulting polymers; this behavior is attributed to the relative propensities for intermolecular propagating/cross-linking reactions and intramolecular cyclization. A kinetic study of the RAFT polymerization of VMA with the dithioester-type CTA 1 suggested that the propagation reaction of the methacryloyl group proceeded predominantly with a certain level of intramolecular cyclization during the early stage of the polymerization and intermolecular cross-linking during the final stage of the polymerization. Block copolymers with one segment featuring pendant vinyl functionality were synthesized by RAFT polymerization of VMA using poly(methyl methacrylate) as a macro-chain transfer agent (macro-CTA). 相似文献

Post‐polymerization modification is an attractive approach to extend applications and convert commodity plastics into products with new, desirable and tunable properties. Among the post‐polymerization modification methods, the nitroxide radical coupling (NRC) reaction has been shown to be a convenient and versatile way to graft specific functionalities onto polymer chains and to control the onset and yield of polymer crosslinking during peroxide‐initiated processes. The use of 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) and its derivatives as controllers of scorch in crosslinking and as functionalizers in functionalization reactions is thoroughly described. Examples are also given of graft polymerization from macroalkoxyamines generated by NRC and grafting of nitroxides by irradiation processes. In addition, in this review we attempt to demonstrate the broad applications of the NRC reaction in the preparation of polymers with a multitude of functionalities and elaborate architectures. The examples discussed here concern the use of atom transfer and single electron transfer NRC reactions to design a variety of polymers with asymmetrical structure and the use of the radical crossover reaction, based on the alkoxyamine dynamic covalent bond, to generate reversible polymer structures and switchable functional polymers. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

This review traces the development of addition-fragmentation chain transfer agents and related ring-opening monomers highlighting recent innovation in these areas. The major part of this review deals with reagents that give reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT). These reagents include dithioesters, trithiocarbonates, dithiocarbamates and xanthates. The RAFT process is a versatile method for conferring living characteristics on radical polymerizations providing unprecedented control over molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, composition and architecture. It is suitable for most monomers polymerizable by radical polymerization and is robust under a wide range of reaction conditions. It provides a route to functional polymers, cyclopolymers, gradient copolymers, block polymers and star polymers. 相似文献

The validity of simplifying the reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization as a degenerative chain transfer process was verified in this work. The simplified chain transfer mechanism enabled the direct modeling investigation of chain transfer coefficient in the RAFT polymerization. It also gave the analytical expressions for concentration, chain length, and polydispersity of various chain species. The comparison between the simulations based on chain transfer mechanism and those from general RAFT mechanism showed that this simplified mechanism can accurately predict RAFT polymerization in the absence of side reactions to adduct radicals other than fragmentation. However, significant errors are introduced at high conversion when side reactions to adduct are present. The chain transfer coefficient of RAFT agent is the key factor in RAFT polymerization. The polydispersity is more sensitive to chain transfer coefficient at low conversion. At high conversion, however, the polydispersity is mainly determined by termination, which can be controlled by RAFT agent concentration and the selection of initiator. At last, an analytical equation is derived to directly estimate chain transfer coefficient of RAFT agent from the experimental data. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011. 相似文献

Pyrazole‐based dithiocarbamates are versatile reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents that provide molar mass and dispersity (? ) control over the radical polymerization of both more and less activated monomers (MAMs and LAMs). In this paper we report on theoretical and experimental findings demonstrating that their activity as RAFT agents can be significantly enhanced by introducing electron‐withdrawing substituents to the pyrazole ring. This enhancement is most noticeable in methyl methacrylate polymerization where product molar masses are more accurately predicted by the RAFT agent concentration, and significantly lower ? values, with respect to those seen with the parent RAFT agent under similar conditions, are observed. Thus, use of 4‐chloro‐3,5‐dimethyl‐1H ‐pyrazole‐1‐carbodithioate provides a poly(methyl methacrylate) with the anticipated molar mass and ? as low as 1.3 at high monomer conversion. Good control is retained for monosubstituted MAMs, styrene, methyl acrylate and N ,N ‐dimethylacrylamide. Low dispersities and less molar mass control are also achieved for homo‐ and copolymerizations with the LAM vinyl acetate, albeit with some retardation. © 2017 The Authors.

Two novel dithiocarbamates [2‐Y‐benzoimidazole‐1‐carbodithioic acid benzyl esters: Y = methyl (1b) or phenyl (1c)] were synthesized and successfully used in the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene in bulk with thermal initiation. The effects of the temperatures and concentration ratios of the styrene and RAFT agents on the polymerization were investigated. The results showed that the polymerization of styrene could be well controlled in the presence of 1b or 1c. The linear relationships between ln([M]0/[M]) and the polymerization time (where [M]0 is the initial monomer concentration and [M] is the monomer concentration) indicated that the polymerizations were first‐order reactions with respect to the monomer concentration. The molecular weights increased linearly with the monomer conversion and were close to the theoretical values. The molecular weight distributions [weight‐average molecular weight/number‐average molecular weight (Mw/Mn)] were very narrow from 5.3% conversion up to 94% conversion (Mw/Mn < 1.3). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
