Definitions
- TITLE Suspension polymerization of alkoxyamines with styrenic and (meth)acrylic monomers.
- the present invention relates to a process for the suspension polymerization of alkoxyamines with styrenic and (meth)acrylic monomers, the beads and compositions thus obtained, as well as the use of these beads and compositions.
- Block copolymers are polymers that are difficult to manufacture, but they have advantages due to their very block structure, which allows the establishment and adjustment of morphologies at the nanometric scale. Their physical behavior such as mechanical, optical for example, and chemical such as their resistance to chemical agents are superior to homopolymers or random copolymers.
- NMP nitroxides
- alkoxyamines are used which, by balancing the radicals with a nitroxide released at a certain temperature, make it possible to control the polymerization of the blocks. This technology is described for example in the article by Nicolas J. et al, Progress in Polymer Science 38 (2013) 63-235. With the chemistry of alkoxyamines, the dispersity of block copolymers can vary from 1.2 to 2 depending on the conversion at which the polymerization is conducted.
- a monofunctional alkoxyamine is reacted in a reactor in the presence of a first monomer or group of monomers M1 in a solvent or not until a conversion of approximately 70%, then the monomers M1 generally remaining by evaporation.
- the macro-alkoxyamine obtained is then placed in the presence of a second monomer or group of monomers M2 to form the second block and follows the same process of conversion/elimination of M2.
- a PolyMI-PolyM2 diblock copolymer is then obtained.
- This method makes it possible to obtain products with targeted properties but the conditions of the process penalize some of them such as optical, or thermal, without a link being able to be made between impurities or the exact nature of the block copolymers as well manufactured.
- a second process called emulsion has been attempted, but the transfer to an industrial scale is complicated (synthesis, recovery of the product).
- a third so-called suspension process seems to have advantages when it comes to obtaining compositions of copolymers making it possible to maximize certain properties such as mechanical, thermal or optical.
- the compositions obtained by this suspension process differ because part of the monomers is found in the form of homopolymer or random copolymer and not block copolymers.
- Suspension polymerization consists in polymerizing the reaction mixture within droplets dispersed in water. For this, good agitation is used in the reactor and a so-called “suspension” agent, allowing the preparation of beads, or balls whose diameters can vary or even be adjusted from a few microns to a few hundred microns.
- the conversion is maximized even if it means undergoing a drift in the dispersity of the block obtained.
- This suspension process uses as alkoxyamine the structure 3-(((2-cyanopropan-2-yl)oxy)(cyclohexyl)amino)-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenylpropanenitrile.
- a first block is prepared using acrylate and/or styrenic monomers, the other blocks being made up of blocks made up of methacrylate and/or styrenic entities.
- the second step carried out mainly with methacrylates is done in an uncontrolled way because it is a characteristic of this family of alkoxyamines used in the context of the invention.
- the presence of a mercaptan from the beginning of this second step does not interfere with the polymerization process from the Poly M1 block, the synthesis of the block copolymer does take place and random entities are jointly synthesized
- the conversion is accelerated when compared to products obtained without the presence of mercaptan ( Figure 1).
- the products obtained in the presence of mercaptan during the second step are much more thermally stable as can be verified by thermogravimetric analysis.
- the applicant shows that it is possible to convert up to 90 and even 95% of the monomers within the process resulting from the synthesis of the various blocks.
- the small proportions of unconverted monomers are polymerized using a water-soluble initiator at the end of the second stage.
- a surfactant can be added from the first step.
- copolymers obtained have a high viscosity, which complicates the transformation steps, in an extruder or an injection molding machine for example.
- the compositions of the invention have better fluidity than the products obtained with a bulk process.
- compositions of block copolymer and of polymer resulting from the radical process linked to the presence of the mercaptan is therefore obtained.
- This composition has characteristics of the sequence of the monomers or of the copolymers different from those obtained using the other processes because the reactivity ratios of the monomers in a suspension process are different (see in particular PJ Dowding, B. Vincent: Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochem. Eng. Aspects 161 (2000) 263-264.
- These compositions less well defined in structure than the block copolymers resulting from the mass process are therefore new.They nevertheless prove to be efficient by presenting superior optical properties and better thermal stabilities.
- compositions of copolymers obtained using the process of the invention allow uses in applications requiring optical qualities, heat resistance, easy transformation conditions or optimal mechanical performance. They can be used in three-dimensional printing by sintering beads.
