Description

WO 2005/014671 PCT/IB2003/003593 INCLUSION COMPLEXES OF CYCLIC MACROMOLECULAR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND POLYMERIZATION THEREOF Technical Field The present invention relates to an inclusion complex containing monomers with multiple unsaturated and cyclic compound s represented by the general formula Ax By, wherein the monomer containing X units of vinyl unsaturation and B is a cyclic host compound with Y units, and also, a process for the preparation of soluble homo-polymers with unsaturation group from the inclusion complex.
Background Art Traditionally polymers have been classified into two categories viz thermoplastics and thermosets depending upon their melting and solubility behavior. The thermoplastics on heating, are converted to a molten state and on cooling return to solid state; reversibly.
This property is made use of in shaping the polymers in various forms such as films, sheets, rods and other molded products. Also these polymers are soluble in solvents and can be converted into films by solution casting and solvent evaporation. In contrast, the thermoset products cannot be converted into a molten state or dissolved in solvents.
Although these materials offer enhanced mechanical and thermal properties over the thermoplastics, they cannot be readily processed into finished products using processing techniques, commonly used in the case of thermoplastics. Similarly the properties of the thermoplastics cannot be significantly enhanced after converting the resins into finished products since there is no scope to modify the polymer structure chemically after the polymerization is completed.
In few cases such as the phenolics, ureas and melamines, a two stage process is adopted whereby polymerization is first limited to a stage where the polymer can be fused into a molten state or dissolved in a solvent and then cross linked further into an infusible, insoluble product which has enhanced mechanical and thermal properties.
Thermosetting polymers containing reactive groups are used as coatings. These polymers are usually in the form of lattices that are further crosslinked either thermally or by addition of functional groups like isocyanates, amines or metal ions. By formation of a network these resins attain their desired properties insolubility in most organic solvents, good water resistance and hardness (Van E.S.JJ in Polymeric Dispersions Principles and Applications. Asua, J. M Kluwer Publishers, 1997, p. 451; Ooka, M., WO 2005/014671 PCT/IB2003/003593 2 Ozawa, H. Progress in Organic Coatings. vol 23, 1994, p.325 Photosensitive groups like cinnamoyl or azo type do not undergo thermal free radical polymerization but can be polymerized by UV irradiation. Polymers containing these functional groups can be cured by exposure to UV irradiation (Mueller, Mueller, Nuyken, O. Makromolecular.
Chem. Rapid. Communications., 13, 289, 1992; Raanby, B in Current Trends in Polymer Photochemistry. Norman, Allen London, UK, 1995, p.23). These materials can be used for non linear optics.
In the case of unsaturated polyester resins, a polyester resin containing unsaturated sites is prepared by condensation polymerization using maleic anhydride and or fumaric acid as the acid component. The resin, diluted with other vinyl monomers such as styrene, methyl methacrylate, allyl acrylate etc is cast into the desired form and then polymerized further to a crosslinked product in the presence of free radical initiators and accelerators activators. While these resins are routinely used in the electrical and automobile industry, their scope is restricted. A large number of monomers such as styrene, methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, acrylamide and so on when polymerized by conventional methods of free radical polymerization result in solvent soluble melt fusible resins which can be then converted to desired products.
But as mentioned earlier, these products cannot be subsequently transformed into insoluble, infusible products, since there are no potential polymerizable sites present in the structure. On the other hand polymerization of these monomers with monomers containing multiple unsaturated sites viz ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, divinyl benzene, allyl acrylate, vinyl methacrylate results in the formation of three dimensional crosslinked products which cannot be further converted into useful forms since they are neither soluble in solvents nor are they converted into a molten state on the application of heat.
The need for polymers which are solvent soluble and thermally fusible and which could be later converted into products having enhanced mechanical thermal solvent resistance properties is increasing with growing applications of polymers in the field of electronics, photoresists, controlled release delivery systems, micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) etc.
Injectable polymer based ceramics are being increasingly investigated for fabrication of high temperature MEMS. (Liew, Zhang, W.L: Bright, Linan, Dunn, M.L.
Raj, Sensors and Actuators A 89, 64, 2001) Polymeric precursors are converted to high performance ceramic microstructures using soft lithography (Yang, H; Deschatelects, WO 2005/014671 PCT/IB2003/003593 3 Brittain, S.T. and Whitesides, Advanced Materials, 13,54 2001). It therefore follows that there is a need to develop methodologies, which will help manipulate properties of polymers for applications in MEMS devices.
In the microstereolithography process, three dimensional microstructures are constructed by solidifying the liquid monomers e.g. Zhang et al fabricated micro gears using microstereolithography (Zhang, X; Juang, XN,, Sun, C. Sensors Actuators, A, 77, 149, 1999). In micro fluidic devices, polymers offer versatility and ease of processing over glass Saper, Ford, Qi, S. McCarley, Kelly, K. and Murphy, Analytical Chemistry, 72, 643 A, 2000).
In the field of controlled release delivery system a drug coated from a polymer solution or a dispersion to provide a coating can then be cross linked as to present a barrier for the permeation of the drug from the coated layer and thus manipulate the rate of release of the drug from the device.
Nanoparticles constitute an important building block for materials to be used in medical, mechanical and electronic applications (Xia, Gates, Yin, Lu, Advanced Materials, 12, 693, 2000). Meccrreyes et al synthesized nanoparticles by self cross linking of polymers in dilute solutions. In this approach, acrylate methacrylate pendant groups were created on polymer backbone and subsequently polymerized to generate self cross linked polymer particles (Meccereyes, Lee, V, Hawker, Hedrick, Wursch, A; Volksen, V; Magbitang, T; Huang, Miller, Advanced Materials, 13, 204, 2001)..
In yet another approach, Wooley (Wooley, JPolym. Sci. A, Polymer Chemistry, 38, 1397 2000), prepared shell crosslinked knedels by organizing the polymers into micellar assemblies and then bringing about intramicellar crosslinking. Clearly, polymers which can be solubilized and contain unsaturated sites which can be subsequently polymerized, is an important class of materials which has a wide range of applications.
Free radical polymerization of monomers comprising multiple unsaturated groups leads to insoluble polymers. There are few reports on the controlled polymerization of monomers containing multiple unsaturated groups using anionic polymerization. Thus anionic polymerization of 1,4 divinyl or 1,4-diisopropenylbenzene gave reactive microgels containing high amount of pendant vinyl groups. But this method is restricted to divinyl compounds, which are amenable to anionic polymerization (Hiller, J. Funke, W.
Angew. Makromolecular. Chemistry., 76/77, 161, 1979. Wolfgang, S. Funke, W.
WO 2005/014671 PCT/IB2003/003593 Makromolecular. Chemistry., 179, 2145, 1978. and requires monomers of extremely high purity and very low temperature Recently Guan (2002) reported the synthesis of hyper branched polymers by cobalt mediated free radical polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (Guan, Z. Journal ofAmerican Chemical Society. 124, 5616, 2002) which resulted in a soluble polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate polymer containing unsaturation However, this method is specific to ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and cannot be readily extended to other monomers containing multiple unsaturated sites A wider range of cyclic compounds such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cryptands, and crown ethers are known to form host guest complexes and have been widely exploited commercially e.g. a number of drugs which are poorly water soluble and hence are poorly absorbed in the body have been encapsulated in the cyclodextrin cavity. The enhanced solubility leads to enhanced bioavailability of the drug. Crown ethers can form complexes with potassium ions. Similarly calixarenes form complexes with organic molecules like toluene, benzene in relation to the ring size. Bradshaw, J. S Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry. Vol.1, 35, 1996., Odashimo, Koya, K. Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry. Vol 2, 143, 1996., Pochini, Ungaro, R. Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry. Vol. 2, 103, 1996.) Cyclodextrins are well known cyclic oligosaccharides that can solubilize hydrophobic compounds in aqueous media (Wenz, G. Angew Chem. 106, 851, 1994). The solubilization is effected by complexation of the water insoluble species within the hydrophobic cavity of cyclodextrin. The use of cyclodextrin to dissolve suitable monomers in water has been described in the literature (Storsberg, Ritter, H. Macromolecular. Rapid.
Communications. 21, 230, 2000., Jeromin, Ritter, H. Macromolecular. Rapid.

Chemistry&. Physics 199, 2641-1998., Glockner, Ritter, H. Macromolecular. Rapid.
Communications, 20, 602, 1999). Some patents describe the use of cyclodextrin preferably in catalytic amounts in order to improve emulsion polymerization yields (Lau. WEur. Pat Appl Rohm Haas, 1996, Ger Offen., BASF AG, Ludwigshafen, 1997, US Patent no.
6,225,299, 1 s t May, 2000., US Patent 6,040409, 7 th May, 1998.). But the preparation of host-guest complexes comprising monomers containing multiple unsaturation and cyclic compounds has not been reported till date.
30/11 2006 16:20 FAX 61 3 92438333 GRIFFITH HACK IPAUSTRALIA 1a006/026 Va NO We have surprisingly found that monomers which contain multiple unsaturation form inclusion 0 complexes of varying stoichiometries with cyclodextrins. Further the unsaturated sites z encapsulated within the cyclodextrin cavity do not react with the growing free radical chain.
n The polymerization of inclusion complexes of vinyl monomers containing multiple unsaturation, therefore leads to soluble polymers containing unreacted unsaturated sites.
.4 Once the cyclodextrin is removed from the system, the deprotected, unsaturated site can Sparticipate in polymerization in the second stage and lead to cross linked products having o enhanced mechanical, thermal and solvent resistance characteristics. These polymers therefore, Soffer the ease of processing of thermoplastics and enhanced properties ofthermnnosets.
