A kind of vinyl cyanide is (being total to) polymers preparation method all
Technical field
The present invention relates to all (being total to) polymers preparation methods of a kind of vinyl cyanide, be specifically related to the acrylonitrile homopolymer or the copolymer method of high molecular, narrow molecular weight distributions.
Technical background
Because polyacrylonitrile has better hardness and intensity, good chemoresistance, the consistency with the polar material excellence, lower premium propertiess such as resistance to air loss, this polymkeric substance has a consequence industrial, be an important commercial polymkeric substance, in particular as carbon fiber.Simultaneously.This also makes a lot of high molecular scholars and research group the polyacrylonitrile of composite structure clear and definite (controlled molecular dimension and molecular weight distribution) has been full of keen interest always.Yet, activity/the controllable free-radical polymerisation of vinyl cyanide has been represented a special challenge, this is because the solvability of its higher activity and polyacrylonitrile difference, it both had been not dissolved in the monomer, also be not dissolved in solvent commonly used in activity/controllable free-radical polymerisation, as methyl-phenoxide, dimethylbenzene, toluene etc.
Research about vinyl cyanide activity/controllable free-radical polymerisation at first starts from 1996, VirgilPercec (Abstracts of the 36th IUPAC International Symposium onMacromolecules, Seoul, Korea, August4-9,1996, p672.) with the halogenated alkane be initiator, CuBr/2,2 '-dipyridyl is a catalyzer, has implemented the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of vinyl cyanide in ethylene carbonate.From now on, other research groups have reported the synthetic of under same or analogous condition acrylonitrile homopolymer or multipolymer in succession.In addition, and Hawker (J.Am.Chem.Soc., 1999,121,3904-3920) and Matyjaszewski (Macromolecules, 2003,36, the priority polyacrylonitrile that adopted nitroxyl free radical regulation and control polymerization (NMP) controlledly synthesis such as 1465-1473).But, since ATRP synthetic polymer residue be difficult to the price of the nitroxyl free radical adjusting control agent costliness used among the catalyzer removed and the NMP in a large number, these methods are difficult to be used for the polyacrylonitrile that compound probability is used.
1998, Australia CSIRO research group has reported reversible addition cracking chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in patent WO 98/01478, under common radical polymerization condition, in reaction system, add the thiocarbonyl group sulphur compound as chain-transfer agent, can make polyreaction present activity/controllable polymerization feature.Compare with other activity/controllable free-radical polymerisation system, the RAFT technology has many advantages: the monomer scope more extensively, narrow molecular weight distribution, polymerization temperature gentleness, can be used for systems such as body, solution, emulsion and suspension polymerization, so this method is considered to have more wide application prospect.Just because of the RAFT polymerization has so many advantage, its potential conduct is with the polymerization means of the clear and definite polyacrylonitrile of controllable manner composite structure.Qian Jinwen (J.Polym.Sci.Part A:Polym.Chem., 2005,43,1973-1977) with Matyjaszewski K. (Macromolecules, 2003,36, research group 8587-8589) is a chain-transfer agent with the different propionitrile ester of dithiobenzoic acid, dithiobenzoic acid 2-nitrile ethyl ester respectively, the regulation and control acrylonitrile polymerization has made polymkeric substance than narrow molecular weight distributions, and the molecular weight that gets of test is near calculated value in fact.Yet the number-average molecular weight of their resulting polyacrylonitrile is all lower, the highlyest is merely able to reach about 5000, and this is very remote apart from industrial requirements.In addition, CSIRO research group has reported that in patent WO98/01478 utilization RAFT technology synthesized the highest number-average molecular weight at 5.14 ten thousand vinyl cyanide and styrol copolymer.
Comprehensive above research, three kinds most important controlled/active free radical polymerization method (ATRP, NMP and RAFT) all has been used to the polymerization of vinyl cyanide, but the highest being limited to about 50,000 of polymkeric substance number-average molecular weight that obtains.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a preparation method who has the acrylonitrile homopolymer or the multipolymer of high molecular, narrow molecular weight distributions simultaneously.
The present invention adopts the dithio thing as regulation and control reagent, in the presence of Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate, is solvent with the ethylene carbonate, and in 80 ℃ of reactions down, " original position " generates the required chain-transfer agent of RAFT polymerization, the radical polymerization of direct regulation and control vinyl cyanide.There is not under the polymerization situation of dithio thing the polyacrylonitrile molecular weight distribution broad that common radical polymerization obtains.And polymerization system is when the dithio thing exists, molecular weight distribution reduces greatly, and when the Z of dithio thing base was benzyl, the molecular weight of the polymkeric substance that the RAFT polymerization of " original position " vinyl cyanide obtains can reach about 230,000, the while molecular weight distribution is below 2.0, and is minimum about 1.70.This method has also successfully applied to the radical copolymerization of vinyl cyanide and other comonomers such as methyl acrylate, methylene-succinic acid, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, Hydroxyethyl acrylate and acrylamide etc., and has obtained similar result.
