Technical field
The present invention relates to controllable free radical polymerization process, relate to the controllable free radical polymerization process of thioether compound as chain transferring agent or rather.
Background technology
Want to prepare the polymkeric substance of foreseeable polymer architecture and molecular weight in the controllable free-radical polymerisation process, and prepare narrow polydispersion, give the polymkeric substance of polymer terminal group functionality, the selection chain-transfer agent is crucial.The sulfide chain-transfer agent can be given activity to radical polymerization, also novel terminal functionality can be incorporated in the polymkeric substance simultaneously, at prior art (macromoleacles, 1993, [26], 2240) in, a kind of tert-butyl acrylate is disclosed in the presence of two (4-aminophenyl) disulfide, make α through free radical adjustment reaction. the method for ω-diamino functionalized poly (tert-butyl acrylate), the characteristics of this method are tert-butyl acrylates, two (4-aminophenyl) disulfides and azo isobutyronitrile (AIBN) add in the reactor simultaneously, and 25 ℃ of reactions of what prepare polymkeric substance.The molecular weight distribution that obtains is 2.2-2.3, and the polymer terminal group functionality is 0.61-2.5, from experimental result, the molecular weight distribution broad, polymer terminal group functionality from 0.61 to 2.5, data are disperseed, desirable not enough aspect controllable polymerization thus, remaining what further improves.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is chain-transfer agent by choosing, explore feed way and correlated response parameter as charge temperature and reinforced time, temperature of reaction and reaction times etc., prepare narrow polydispersion polymkeric substance with the controlled radical polymerization method, making the dispersity of polymkeric substance is 2 for the 1.31-1.69 functionality.
The present invention carries out controllable free-radical polymerisation with thioether compound as chain transferring agent and prepares the polymkeric substance that the polymer repeat unit structure has general formula (A).
In the formula:
Z is a phenyl; M is from CUV-CH
2, vinylbenzene, vinyl acetate between to for plastic, vinylformic acid, methyl methacrylate is selected arbitrarily in the polymer repeat unit structure of methacrylic tert-butyl acrylate or methacrylic tert-butyl acrylate and vinylbenzene blended conversion of monomer; R is a benzyl;
U is from hydrogen, the C that halogen replaces
1-C
4Alkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl group, carboxyl, acyloxy, the alcoxyl carboxyl is selected arbitrarily in the carboxylic acid ester groups;
V is from hydrogen, R ', COOH, COOR, COR ", CN, CONH
2, CONHR " and halogen in select arbitrarily;
q=1,
M is 〉=1 integer,
R ' is the alkyl from any replacement, chooses any one kind of them in the group that aryl and polymer chain are formed;
R " be from any replacement C
1-C
18Alkyl, C
2-C
18The alkane thiazolinyl, aryl, heterocyclic radical, aralkyl is chosen any one kind of them in the alkaryl, substituting group on the alkaryl can be separately from epoxy, hydroxyl, alkoxyl group, acyl group, acyl-oxygen, alcoxyl or fragrant oxygen-carbonyl, isocyanate group, itrile group, silyl is chosen any one kind of them in halogen and the dialkyl amido;
General formula (A) polymkeric substance by:
(i) from structure be-CUV-CH
2-vinyl monomer, vinylbenzene, vinyl acetate between to for plastic, vinylformic acid, methyl methacrylate, choosing any one kind of them in methacrylic tert-butyl acrylate or methacrylic tert-butyl acrylate and the vinylbenzene blended monomer has the monomer of repeated structural unit M;
(ii) chain-transfer agent benzyl phenyl thioether;
The radical source that (iii) produces free radical is in contact with one another prepared in reaction.
The M repeat unit structure of general formula (A) is by the vinyl monomer CUV-CH in (i)
2 is transformed.
By changing (i), (ii) and the polydispersity of molar ratio controlling polymers (iii).Polymer repeat unit structure M of the present invention and polymer chain structure are counted the attribute of m decision polymkeric substance.Work as m=1, when M was single monomer fragment, polymkeric substance was a homopolymer; When m 〉=2, when the fragment of selecting from 2 or a plurality of different monomers on the M of irregular sequence was formed, then polymkeric substance was a multipolymer.When m 〉=2 and M choose any one kind of them from 2 or more a plurality of different monomers fragment, its each different monomer fragment or monomeric groups appear at discrete sequence, and then polymkeric substance is a segmented copolymer.
Chain-transfer agent in the inventive method is the benzyl phenyl thioether.
The polymkeric substance of the inventive method preparation can be a random copolymers, segmented copolymer, graft copolymer, any one in star copolymer and the ladder type multipolymer.The terminal functionality of the polymkeric substance of the inventive method preparation is 2.
40-160 ℃ of the inventive method what is added to vinyl monomer and radical source in the chain-transfer agent, and reinforced time remaining 5-15 hour, most examples were 6-8 hour, and the reinforced back what that finishes was kept 2-3 hour for 80-90 ℃, and obtaining monomer conversion is 95%.The polymer dispersed degree is 1.31-1.69, and terminal functionality is 2 polymkeric substance.Better temperature when here, vinyl monomer and radical source are added to chain-transfer agent is 80 ℃.The radical source add-on is 10% of a monomer mixture total amount, is the 0.001-5% weight part preferably.
The inventive method has many advantages compared with the prior art really, and many useful effects are arranged.At first, to prepare the Narrow Polydispersity of narrow polydispersion polymkeric substance be 1.2-2 in the present invention.And monomer conversion is under the situation of 10%-100%, and Narrow Polydispersity remains unchanged.Yet when prior art was 0.1-10% when monomer conversion, corresponding polydispersity was 1.5-2.0, and the polydispersity of correspondence was 2-10 when monomer conversion was 10-100%.The polymer terminal group functionality of the inventive method preparation is 2, and prior art is 0.61-2.5.
The present invention can letex polymerization, and the solution successive polymerization is finished, and reaction is controlled metering reaction, can prepare the polymkeric substance of expection molecular weight and distribution.Can produce the like grafting of polymkeric substance of complex construction, the polymkeric substance of star-like and disproportionation; Can produce aqueous polymers, or solvent is solvable or the dispersive polymkeric substance.
