Ionic graft copolymerization. VII. Ionic graft copolymerization of β-propiolactone onto the trunk polymers containing pyridine,amide, sulfonyl chloride,and carboxylic acid anhydride groups

The graft copolymerization of β-propiolactone (βPL) onto the various trunk polymers containing polar substituents such as pyridine, amide, sulfonyl chloride, and carboxylic acid anhydride groups was carried out. In the grafting onto the basic trunk polymer containing 4-vinylpyriding units, two kinds of grafting mechanism are supposed. In the case of rigorously dried trunk polymer, the polymerization is initiated by betaine and proceeds with higher grafting efficiency. Another is initiated by pyridinium hydroxide and proceeds with lower grafting efficiency. Another is initiated by pyridinium hydroxide and proceeds with lower grafting efficiency in the presence of some amount of water. With acidic trunk polymer containing sulfonyl chloride groups, no graft copolymer was produced. The grafting efficiency of βPL onto the amphoteric trunk polymer containing acrylamide units was found to be between those of basic and acidic trunk polymer. In addition, the grafting by means of ionic copolymerization of βPL with maleic anhydride units contained in trunk polymer proceeded with very high grafting efficiency.     

Ionic graft copolymerization. V. Graft copolymerization of β-propiolactone onto the trunk polymers containing carboxylic acid,sulfonic acid,and other salts

β-Propiolactone (βPL) was graft-copolymerized onto styrene–divinylbenzene copolymers containing various carboxylates or sulfonates, composed of anions and cations having different electronegativities. In parallel, the mechanism of polymerizations of βPL by relatively neutral catalysts was studied in comparison with the behaviors of graft copolymerizations. In the graft copolymerization onto the trunk polymer containing various carboxylates, a lower electronegativity of countercation favors a higher anionic polymerization activity and the order of rate of polymerization coincides with that of anionic activities of catalysts. On the other hand, in the case of trunk polymer containing sulfonates, a higher electronegativity of countercation favors a cationic polymerization activity, and the order of rate of polymerization coincides with that of cationic activity of catalyst. The order of grafting efficiency at fixed total conversion coincides almost with that of anionic activity. The comparatively higher grafting efficiency in the grafting onto trunk polymer containing carboxylic acid might support an anionic graft copolymerization mechanism by carboxyl anion. The two following mechanisms were proposed for the initiation of the polymerization by the trunk polymer containing sodium sulfonate, in which acrylic acid is transformed from βPL.     

Ionic graft copolymerization. II. Graft copolymerization of β-propiolactone onto acrylonitrile–sodium acrylate copolymer

Polyacrylonitrile–β-propiolactone (βPL) graft copolymer was synthesized by means of ionic polymerization, in which polymerization of βPL was initiated by polyacrylonitrile containing a small amount of some reactive groups such as ? COOK, ? COONa, ? COOLi, and ? COOH. Lower electronegativity of the countercation favored higher total conversion and higher grafting percentage. The grafting percentage increased with the reaction time and concentration of reactive groups in the trunk polymer, but grafting efficiency varied very little under these conditions. In the bulk polymerization at 60°C., grafting efficiency was about 60%, but in the solution polymerization in toluene or dioxane, grafting efficiency was higher than in bulk or nitrobenzene.     

Ionic graft copolymerization. VIII. Homopolymerization of β-propiolactone by radical catalysts in the presence of electron acceptors and application to graft copolymerization

The polymerization of β-propiolactone (βPL) induced by radiation and by radical catalysts, the influences of radical inhibitors and electron acceptors on this polymerization, and graft copolymerization were studied. It was found that βPL was polymerized by benzoyl peroxide in the presence of electron acceptors such as maleic anhydride and acrylonitrile. This polymerization method was applied to graft copolymerization. The electron donative trunk polymer containing ether groups was heated with benzoyl peroxide or was irradiated by γ-rays from Co⁶⁰ in the presence of maleic anhydride as the electron acceptor. βPL was added subsequently to form the graft copolymer.     

Ionic graft copolymerization. VI. Graft copolymerization of β-propiolactone and N-vinylcarbazole onto trunk polymer containing carboxylic acid,sulfonic acid,and their salts

It was pointed out in previous papers that both cationic and anionic polymerization might be involved simultaneously in grafting onto trunk polymers containing ? COOH or ? SO₃Na. The graft copolymerization of β-Propiolactone (βPL)–N-vinylcarbazole (NVCZ) onto styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers containing carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, and their salts was carried out in order to distinguish between the polymers produced by anionic and cationic mechanisms. The polymer obtained by the polymerization of βPL–NVCZ with BF₃·OEt₂, a typical cationic catalyst, consisted mainly of NVCZ units, but the polymer obtained with BuLi, a typical anionic catalyst, consisted mainly of βPL units. In the graft copolymerization of NVCZ–βPL onto trunk polymer containing ? COOH, the NVCZ contents of the branch polymer and the tolueneinsoluble fraction were estimated to be ca. 50 mole-%; therefore these polymers were produced by both cationic and anionic mechanisms. In the case of graft copolymerization onto the trunk polymer containing SO₃Na, it was found that both cationic and anionic polymerization also occurred simultaneously.     

Free radical copolymerization of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) onto polychloroprene

Graft copolymerization of n-butyl methacrylate onto polychloroprene was carried out in toluene using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The polychloroprene-g-poly(n-butyl methacrylate) was isolated from the copolymerization product by extracting with hexane. Infrared (IR) spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of graft copolymer showed the occurrence of grafting. Percentage of grafting and grafting efficiency calculated under different experimental conditions were discussed. The mechanism of grafting seems to occur by chain transfer, as evidenced by a decrease in chlorine content during the experiment.

Water-soluble copolymers. XI. Selectivity in the graft copolymerization of acrylamide/N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxybutyl)acrylamide comonomers onto dextran by Ce(IV)-induced initiation

Characteristic behavior in the graft copolymerization of acrylamide/N-(1,1-dimethyl-3-oxybutyl)acrylamide (AM/DAAM) comonomers onto dextran by Ce(IV)-induced initiation was investigated. From a preliminary study, it was found that ceric ammonium nitrate polymerized AM/DAAM comonomer mixtures and diacetone acrylamide, but not acrylamide alone in the aqueous solution. The effect of grafting conditions on the graft copolymerization product was studied with the aid of aqueous size exclusion chromatography and the anthrone reagent. The selectivity of formation of the graft copolymer over random copolymer was found to increase as the reaction temperature and AM/DAAM ratio increased and as both the Ce(IV)/Dextran molar ratio and HNO₃ concentration decreased. After establishing optimum grafting conditions, graft copolymer samples were prepared, and their aqueous solution behavior studied as functions of structure, temperature, and added salts.

Graft copolymerization of sodium acrylate onto organophilic montmorillonites initiated by potassium diperiodatonickelate (IV) and application of graft copolymer in water‐superabsorbent

The graft copolymerization of sodium acrylate (SA) onto organophilic montmorillonites (OMMT) initiated by redox reaction of potassium diperiodatonickelate (IV) [Ni(IV)] with reactive groups on OMMT substrate was studied in alkaline medium. The grafting parameters have been investigated as a function of the ratio of monomer to OMMT, the concentration of initiator, temperature, and pH value. The structure of the graft copolymer (OMMT‐g‐PSA) was systematically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that [Ni(IV)] belongs to a highly efficient initiator for graft copolymerization of SA onto OMMT via the redox iniation (grafting efficiency > 95%). Furthermore, the experimental results also showed that the graft copolymer gels synthesized under optimal condition exhibited a maximum water absorbency of 1104 g/g in distilled water and 111 g/g in 0.2 wt % NaCl solution, respectively, and its water retention ability is more than 91% after centrifugal separation for 2 h. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
