The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) miniemulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate mediated by xanthate

The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer （RAFT） miniemulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate （VAc） mediated by methyl （methoxycarbonothioyl） sulfanyl acetate （MMSA） was carried out. The results showed that polymerizations initiated by AIBN and KPS proceeded in a controlled way. The RAFT miniemulsion polymerization of VAc initiated by KPS showed the shorter inhibition period, higher propagation rate coefficient and final conversion than those in experiment initiated by AIBN. When the monomer conversion reached 25%, the polydispersity index （PDI） of polymer became broad, which was related to chain transfer reaction in RAFT miniemulsion of VAc.

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer graft polymerization of acrylonitrile onto PE/PET composite fiber initiated by γ-irradiation

Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) mediated grafting of acrylonitrile onto Polyethylene/Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PE/PET) composite fibers was performed using γ-irradiation as the initial source at ambient temperature. Different initial concentrations of 2-cyanoprop-2-yl dithiobenzonate were used as the chain transfer agent. The kinetics of graft polymerization is in accordance with the living RAFT polymerization. The successful grafting of acrylonitrile is proved by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis.The results of monofilament tensile test show that mechanical properties of the fibers change slightly after grafting. Scanning electronic microscopy images of the fibers show that the surface of RAFT grafted fibers is smoother than that of fibers grafted conventionally.

Evaluation of the clenbuterol imprinted monolithic column prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

To make more homogenous organic monolithic structure, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer （RAFT） process was employed in the synthesis of the clenbuterol imprinted polymer. In the synthesis, the influence of synthetic conditions on the polymer structure and separation efficiency was studied. The result demonstrated that the imprinted columns prepared with RAFT process have higher column efficiency and selectivity than the columns prepared with conventional polymerization in the present study, which may result from the higher surface area, smaller pore size and the narrower globule size distribution in their structures. The result indicated that RAFT polymerization provided better conditions for the clenbuterol imprinted monolithic polymer preparation. 2009 Xiang Chao Dong.

Grafting of MIPs from PVDF Membranes via Reversible Addition-fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization for Selective Removal of p-Hydroxybenzoic Acid

Effective molecularly imprinted membranes（MIMs） were developed as an efficient adsorbent for the selective removal ofp-hydroxybenzoic acid（p-HB） from acetylsalicylic acid（ASA, aspirin）. The MIMs were grafted successfully from poly（vinylidene fluoride） microfiltration membranes via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer（RAFT） polymerization. The graft copolymerization of acrylic acid（AA） in the presence of template p-hydroxybenzoic acid led to molecularly imprinted polymer（MIP） film coated membranes. The obtained MIMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer（FTIR） and Raman spectra, and batch mode adsorption studies were carried ont to investigate the specific adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and selective recognition properties of different MIMs. The kinetic properties of the MIMs could be well described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation. Selective permeation experiments were performed to evaluate the permeation selectivity of the p-HB imprinted membranes. The observed performances of the MIMs are applicable to the further purification of aspirin.

Bulk Polymerization of Styrene Using Benzyl Dithiobenzoate as a Chain Transfer

Bulk polymerization of styrene was carried out in the presence of a reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) of benzyl dithiobenzoate (BDB). The comparison between reaction systems with and without BDB indicates that there is significant retardation in the reaction rate when BDB is used. The molecular weight of styrene polymer prepared with BDB shows linear relationship with the conversion of monomer, polydispersity is as narrow as 1.2, and no gel effects are observed during the polymerization with BDB, which are characteristics of a living radical polymerization. It has been found that the concentrations of BDB and azobis (isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) have opposite effects on the polymerization kinetics, and the AIBN dominates.

Aggregation-induced emission polymers via reversible-deactivation radical polymerization Special Collection:Distinguished Australian Researchers

Aggregation-induced emission(AIE)is a unique phenomenon whereby aggregation of molecules induces fluorescence emission as opposed to the more commonly known aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ).AIE has the potential to be utilized in the large-scale production of AIE-active polymeric materials because of their wide range of practical applications such as stimuli-responsive sensors,biological imaging agents,and drug delivery systems.This is evident from the increasing number of publications over the years since AIE was first discovered.In addition,the evergrowing interest in this field has led many researchers around the world to develop new and creative methods in the design of monomers,initiators and crosslinkers,with the goal of broadening the scope and utility of AIE polymers.One of the most promising approaches to the design and synthesis of AIE polymers is the use of the reversible-deactivation radical polymerization(RDRP)techniques,which enabled the production of well-controlled AIE materials that are often difficult to achieve by other methods.In this review,a summary of some recent works that utilize RDRP for AIE polymer design and synthesis is presented,including(i)the design of AIE-related monomers,initiators/crosslinkers;the achievements in preparation of AIE polymers using(ii)reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT)technique;(iii)atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP)technique;(iv)other techniques such as Cu(0)-RDRP technique and nitroxide-mediated polymerization(NMP)technique;(v)the possible applications of these AIE polymers,and finally(vi)a summary/perspective and the future direction of AIE polymers.

Synthesis of Thermoresponsive Poly( diethyleneglycol methacrylate-co-6-Ovinyladipoyl-D-glucopyranose) Glycopolymer via RAFT Polymerization

The monomer 6-O-vinyladipoyl-D-glucopyranose( VAG)was synthesized by lipase catalyzed trans-esterification of divinyladipate with D-glucopyranose. A novel double hydrophilic glycopolymer poly( diethyleneglycol methacrylate-co-6-Ovinyladipoyl-D-glucopyranose)( P( DEGMA-co-VAG)) with narrow polydispersity( PDI) and thermosensitivity was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer( RAFT)polymerization. P( DEGMA-co-VAG) was characterized by1 H NMR,FTIR and gel permeation chromatography( GPC). The characterization of UV-visible spectroscopy showed that the micelles from glycopolymer P( DEGMA-co-VAG) were thermo-responsive and the low critical solution temperature( LCST) could be controlled by the molar ratio of monomers. When the molar ratio of DEGMA and VAG was 2∶ 1,the LCST of P( DEGMA-co-VAG) was36 ℃ in aqueous solution,which could form nano micelles in the human body environment. It was found that P( DEGMA-co-VAG)was non-toxic at 0. 1-1 mg / m L concentrations when incubated with pig iliac endothelial cells( PIECs) for 24 h. Thus,the synthesized glycopolymers has great potential as drug delivery carriers.

Simulation of Rate Retardation in RAFT Polymerization of Styrene with Low RAFT-Initiator Ratio

Bulk polymerizations of styrene (St) were carried out in the presence of three reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents benzyl dithiobenzoate (BDB), cumyl dithiobenzoate(CDB), and 1-phenylethyl dithiobenzoate (PEDB) under low ratio of RAFT agent to initiator. The kinetic model was developed to predict polymerization rate, which indicates that the RAFT polymerization of St is a first-order reaction. In the range of experimental conversions, the plots of -ln(1-x) against time t are approximately linear (x is monomer conversion). The kinetic study reveals the existence of strong rate retardation in RAFT polymerization of styrene. A coefficient K_r is defined to estimate the rate retardation in the RAFT system considering the assumption that the retardation in polymerization rate is mainly attributed to slow fragmentation of the intermediate radicals. K_r relates to the structure of RAFT agents as well as the concentrations of RAFT agent and azobis isobutyronitrile (AIBN). For a certain RAFT agent, the value of K_r is enhanced by the increase in the initial concentration of RAFT agent and the higher ratio of RAFT to AIBN. With the same recipe for different RAFT agents, the increasing trend for the values of K_r is BDB<PEDB<CDB.

新型链转移剂黄原酸酯调控的RAFT自由基聚合

本文综述了以黄原酸酯为链转移剂的共轭乙烯基单体与非共轭乙烯基单体的RAFT自由基聚合研究进展。由于黄原酸酯的Z基团为烷氧基,使得黄原酸酯自由基中心电荷密度增加,通过共轭效应稳定双硫酯产物,因此可以很好地调控非共轭乙烯基单体的活性自由基聚合。在黄原酸酯的Z基团中引入氟原子后,它通过降低加成自由基的稳定性而不是通过稳定双硫酯产物来促进随后的断裂,可以用于共轭乙烯基单体的活性自由基聚合,用含氟的黄原酸酯化合物还可以制备共轭乙烯基单体与非共轭乙烯基单体的嵌段共聚物。
