Definitions
- the invention relates to processes for the preparation of polymer compositions, in which ethylenically unsaturated monomers by means of initiators which have a transferable atomic group and one or more catalysts which comprise at least one transition metal, in the presence of ligands which form a coordination compound with the metallic catalyst or catalysts can polymerized.
- Radical polymerization is an important commercial process for making a variety of polymers such as PMMA and polystyrene.
- the disadvantage here is that the structure of the polymers, the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution can be controlled relatively poorly.
- ATRP process atom transfer radical polymerization
- a transition metal compound is reacted with a compound that has a transferable atomic group.
- the transferable atomic group is transferred to the transition metal compound, whereby the metal is oxidized.
- a radical is formed that attaches to ethylenic groups added.
- the transfer of the atomic group to the transition metal compound is reversible, so that the atomic group is transferred back to the growing polymer chain, thereby forming a controlled polymerization system. Accordingly, the structure of the polymer, the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution can be controlled.
- WO 97/47661 describes that the polymerization does not take place by a radical mechanism but by insertion. However, this differentiation is irrelevant to the present invention, since the reaction procedure disclosed in WO 97/47661 uses compounds which are also used in an ATRP.
- the monomers, the transition metal catalysts, the ligands and the initiators are selected. It is believed that a high rate constant of the reaction between the transition metal-ligand complex and the transferable atomic group as well as a low concentration of free radicals in equilibrium are essential for a narrow molecular weight distribution. If the concentration of free radicals is too high, typical termination reactions occur, which are responsible for a broad molecular weight distribution.
- the exchange rate depends, for example, on the transferable group of atoms, the Transition metal, the ligand and the anion of the transition metal compound. Those skilled in the art will find valuable information on the selection of these components, for example, in WO 98/40415.
- this document discloses the possibility of polymerizing polar monomers, such as methyl methacrylate or styrene, using metallic copper, but the molecular weight distribution is considerably less favorable than when using a mixture of Cu ° / CuBr or Cu ° / CuBr 2 .
- ethylenically unsaturated monomer mixtures which contain at least 50% by weight of ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds with alkyl or heteroalkyl chains with at least 8 carbon atoms can only be poor because of the limited solubility of ethylenically unsaturated ester compounds with alkyl or heteroalkyl radicals with at least 8 carbon atoms in polar solvents can be polymerized by means of the known ATRP processes. In addition, depending on the use, these large amounts of polar solvents be separated from the composition after preparation of the polymers.
- polymerization processes are required that are simple and, in principle, scalable as desired and that deliver the highest possible polymer yields per unit of time.
- the polymerization processes should be simple and inexpensive to carry out. Intermediate steps such as emptying and, if necessary, cleaning the reaction vessel should be avoided.
- the process for producing a polymer composition should be simple and inexpensive to carry out and should not have any intermediate steps, such as emptying and cleaning the reaction vessel.
- Another object of the present invention was also to provide a method for producing a polymer composition in which the polymers contained in the composition are composed of at least 50% by weight of (meth) acrylates with alkyl or heteroalkyl chains with at least 8 carbon atoms.
- the present invention was also based on the object that the polymers contained in the composition have a narrow molecular weight distribution. Above all, the use of more complex processes, such as anionic polymerization, is to be avoided in the production of the polymer mixture.
- Another object was to provide a process for the preparation of a polymer composition which enables the synthesis of copolymers with a non-statistical structure, in particular the synthesis of diblock, triblock and gradient copolymers, in a simple manner.
- Another object was to provide a cost-effective method that can be used on an industrial scale.
- the process should be easy and simple to carry out using commercially available components.
- the ethylenically unsaturated monomers are polymerized by means of initiators which have a transferable atomic group and one or more catalysts which comprise at least one transition metal, in the presence of ligands which can form a coordination compound with the metallic catalyst or catalysts.
- This type of production can be carried out particularly inexpensively and, in this respect, continuous technical production is excellently suited.
- the process according to the invention does not require any intermediate steps, such as emptying and cleaning the reaction vessel.
- Polymer compositions are characterized by a narrow molecular weight distribution.
- the process according to the invention allows excellent control of the molecular weight of the polymers contained in the compositions.
- the process according to the invention is poor in side reactions.
- the method can be carried out inexpensively. It should be taken into account here that only very small amounts of catalyst are used.
- metallic copper is used as the copper source, it can be removed from the reaction mixture without problems, and this catalyst can be reused in further reactions without purification.

- the amount of copper that is present during the polymerization in the polymerization composition as oxidized copper of oxidation levels (I) and (II), preferably oxidation level +1, is important. It is irrelevant for this embodiment of the invention itself whether copper of the oxidation state (+2) can actually also be present and if so whether this is relevant for the course of the polymerization. However, the amount of copper in the oxidation state (+2) is accounted for together with copper in the oxidation state (+1) due to the determination methods used.

- the polymerization takes place in the presence of ligands which can form a coordination compound with the metallic catalyst or catalysts.
- these ligands serve to increase the solubility of the transition metal compound.
- Another important function of the ligands is that the formation of stable organometallic compounds is avoided. This is particularly important since these stable compounds would not polymerize under the chosen reaction conditions.
- the ligands facilitate the abstraction of the transferable group of atoms.
- ligands are known per se and are described, for example, in WO 97/18247, WO 98/40415.

- the exchange rate depends, for example, on the transferable group of atoms, the transition metal and the ligands.
- the process of the present invention can be carried out in bulk without solvent as a polymerization.

- non-polar solvents are used.

Accordingly, mineral oils have different proportions of aromatic, cyclic, branched and linear hydrocarbons depending on their origin.
- vegetable e.g. jojoba, rapeseed
- animal e.g. claw oil
- paraffin-based, naphthenic and aromatic components in crude oils or mineral oils, the terms paraffin-based component standing for longer-chain or strongly branched isoalkanes and naphthenic components for cycloalkanes.
- mineral oils have different proportions of n-alkanes, isoalkanes with a low degree of branching, so-called monomethyl-branched paraffins, and compounds with heteroatoms, in particular O, N and / or S, which are said to have polar properties.
- the proportion of n-alkanes in preferred mineral oils is less than 3% by weight, the proportion of O, N and / or S-containing compounds is less than 6% by weight.
- mineral oil mainly comprises naphthenic and paraffin-based alkanes, which generally have more than 13, preferably more than 18 and most preferably more than 20 carbon atoms.
- the proportion of these compounds is generally> 60% by weight, preferably> 80% by weight, without any intention that this should impose a restriction.
- Liquid chromatography on silica gel shows the following components, the percentages referring to the
- Aromatics with 14 to 32 carbon atoms :
- Synthetic oils include organic esters, organic ethers such as silicone oils, and synthetic hydrocarbons, especially polyolefins. They are usually somewhat more expensive than mineral oils, but have advantages in terms of their performance.
- base oils especially preferably as solvents. These solvents are used before or during the filtration, preferably in an amount of 1 to 99% by weight, particularly preferably 5 to 95% by weight and very particularly preferably 10 to 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the Mixture used.
- the polymerization can be carried out under normal pressure, negative pressure or positive pressure.
- the polymerization temperature is also not critical. In general, however, it is in the range from -20 ° to 200 ° C., preferably 0 ° to 130 ° C. and particularly preferably 60 ° to 120 ° C., without this being intended to impose any restriction.
- polymers with a given architecture can be obtained in a simple manner. These possibilities result from the "living" character of the polymerization process.
- These structures include block copolymers, such as diblock and triblock copolymers, gradient copolymers, star polymers, highly branched polymers, polymers with reactive end groups and graft copolymers.
- the polymerization in c) takes place in a batch or continuous process.
- the polymerization in c) takes place in a batch or continuous process.
- the polymers produced according to the invention generally have a molecular weight in the range from 1,000 to 1,000,000 g / mol, preferably in the range from 7 * 10 3 to 500 * 10 3 g / mol, particularly preferably in the range from 7 * 10 3 to 300 * 10 3 g / mol, without being restricted thereby. These values are based on the weight average molecular weight of the polydisperse polymers in the composition.
- polymers obtained by the process according to the invention have a polydispersity, which is given by M w / M n , in the range from 1 to 12, preferably 1 to 4.5, particularly preferably 1 to 3 and very particularly preferably 1, 05 to 2.
- the small amounts of catalyst as are typical according to the invention, generally do not interfere in the intended applications, so that the catalyst does not have to be separated off.
- dissolved catalyst can be separated off by a solid-liquid separation process. This includes, for example, chromatography, centrifugation and filtration.
- the catalyst is preferably removed by filtration.
- the oxidation level of the transition metal is increased after the polymerization.
- the oxidation of the transition metal decreases the solubility of the catalyst, depending on the choice of the ligand or ligands, so that the transition metal can be separated off by filtration if a solvent, in particular a mineral oil, is present, the dielectric constant of which is ⁇ 4, preferably ⁇ 3 and especially is preferably ⁇ 2.5.
- the oxidation of the transition metal can be carried out using known oxidizing agents such as oxygen, H 2 0 2 or ozone.
- the catalyst is preferably oxidized with atmospheric oxygen. Complete oxidation of the transition metal or transition metal compound is not necessary. In many cases, contact of the composition with atmospheric oxygen for a few minutes is sufficient to ensure sufficient precipitation of the transition metal compound.
- Filtration is known per se and is described, for example, in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Fifth Edition, keyword “Filtration”.
- the composition is preferably at a pressure difference in the range from 0.1 to 50 bar, preferably 1 to 10 bar and particularly preferably 1.5 to 2.5 bar with a filter of a sieve size in the range from 0.01 ⁇ m to 1 mm 1 ⁇ m to 100 m and particularly preferably 10 ⁇ m to 100 m.
- This information serves as a guide, since cleaning also depends on the viscosity of the solvent and the grain size of the precipitate.
- the filtration takes place in a temperature range similar to the polymerization, the upper range being dependent on the stability of the polymer.
- the lower limit results from the viscosity of the solution.
- the poly (meth) acrylate composition thus produced can be used without further purification, for example as an additive in lubricating oils.
- the polymer can be isolated from the composition.
- the polymers can be separated from the composition by precipitation.
- the DPMA used (dodecylpentadecyl methacrylate) was weighed in taking into account a degree of purity of 98%.

- DPMA dodecylpentadecyl methacrylate
- MMA methyl methacrylate
- PMEDTA pentamethyldiethylenetriamine
- EiB ethyl 2-bromo-isobutyrate
- the metering rate was set so that a residence time of 3 h 45 min. - 4 h was guaranteed in the copper pipe heated to 90 ° C.
- the resulting polymer had a slightly greenish color and was continuously collected immediately after passing through the copper tube.
- a GPC analysis of the reaction material was carried out periodically and gave the values shown in Table 1. The good agreement between theoretical and experimental Mn values as well as the narrow molecular weight distribution prove that a controlled polymerization process took place. The turnover rate was 98%.

- DPMA dodecylpentadecyl methacrylate
- MMA methyl methacrylate
- PMEDTA pentamethyldiethylenetriamine
- EBIB ethyl 2-bromo-isobutyrate
- the reaction product of the continuous process carried out with this became 450 ml of a mixture consisting of 382.5 ml of dodecylpentadecyl methacrylate (DPMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in a weight ratio of 0.85: 0.15 and 67.5 ml of a 100N oil after a throughput time of about 45 min. was added directly to the copper tube and the polymerization was then carried out in a batch at 90 ° C.
- the GPC analysis of the continuously synthesized polymer from the first reaction step showed an Mn value of 14,000, an Mw / Mn value of 1.16 and a conversion rate of 95%.
- the G PC results for the second reaction step, ie batch polymerization are summarized in Table 2.
- the term “monomer template” can mean a reaction vessel or a device with one or more monomers and optionally further components. After the addition of suitable substances or mixtures of substances, a reaction, for example polymerization, can then occur.
- a reaction for example polymerization
- the term “monomer template” can also be used in the sense of a vessel or a container that only serves to temporarily hold a substance or mixture of substances, for example for the intermediate storage of a reaction mixture.
