Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to methods for synthesizing copolymers such as graft or block copolymers, and polymeric materials provided by the methods.
  • the ability to control the physical properties of polymers is desirable. For example, it may be necessary to adjust or impart a particular physical property or feature of a polymer that is potentially useful for a desired application.
  • the use of well-defined soluble catalyst precursors generally has allowed enhanced control over polymer properties, such as branching architecture, stereochemistry, and molecular weight and polydispersity control.
  • Certain types of copolymers have been very challenging to tailor. For example, the ability to graft polymerize side chains onto a polymer material has been difficult, yet provides opportunity to adjust the physical characteristics and properties of a wide number of polymer materials.
  • graft copolymers previously has been achieved using two general techniques, namely photochemical and chemical.
  • Photochemical techniques include exposure of a polymer to low-temperature plasma, ultraviolet irradiation, or gamma-ray irradiation to initiate the polymerization process.
  • Chemical techniques typically use free-radical polymerization or atom transfer radical polymerization to produce the grafted copolymer.
  • Various aspects of producing graft copolymers can be found at, for example, Mika, et al., "A New Class of Polyelectrolyte-Filled Microfiltration Membranes with Environmentally Controlled Porosity," J. Memb.

  • This first polymer is contacted with an organometal hydride, for example a dialkyl aluminum hydride, which is capable of adding across the unsaturated groups to functionalize the olefin to afford a metalated polymer.
  • a second polymerization reaction is then effected in the presence of the metalated polymer, in which the second polymerization catalyst is one that is capable of undergoing chain transfer with metalated polymer.
  • the second polymerization catalyst is selected for its polymerization activity and for its ability to transfer or exchange polymeryl groups, including a polymeryl group, with the metalated polymer's organometal groups, thereby enabling the second polymer to attach to the first polymer.
  • the resulting product can be considered a comb copolymer with the second polymer chains branching from the first polymer backbone.
