(ii) has general formula (C)
Chain-transfer agent, should (C) formula in R be the free radical activity group, S is that sulphur atom and the radical source that (iii) produces free radical are in contact with one another prepared in reaction.
The M repeat unit structure of general formula (A) is by the vinyl monomer in (I)
Be transformed.
By changing (i), (ii) and the polydispersity of molar ratio controlling polymers (iii).The attribute of polymer repeat unit structure M of the present invention and repeating unit numerical value m decision polymkeric substance.When m 〉=1, when M was single monomer segment, polymkeric substance was a homopolymer; When m 〉=2, be the segment from 2 or a plurality of different monomers, selected when forming at the M of irregular sequence, then polymkeric substance is a multipolymer.When m 〉=2 and M choose any one kind of them from 2 or more a plurality of different monomers segment, its each different monomer segment or monomeric groups appear at discrete sequence, and then polymkeric substance is a segmented copolymer.
General formula (C) thioether chain-transfer agent is from diphenyl sulfide in the present invention, and the benzyl phenyl thioether is chosen any one kind of them in two (phenyl thioether methyl) benzene.
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.
