Other monomer pairs such as methyl methacrylate(MMA)/NCMI, St/ N phenylmaleimide, MMA/ N phenylmaleimide were studied, too. The influences of several factors, such as temperature, solvent and monomer’s ratio on the copolymerization with the CuBr/bpy catalyst system were subsequently investigated. The apparent activation energy of St(MMA)and NCMI was deduced from the kinetics figure of different temperatures. Using TBMB as the initiator produced four armed star copolymer. The heat resistance of the resultant copolymer has been improved by increasing the NCMI. [WT5HZ]展开更多

The resulting precursors were postfunctionalized and subse- quently used as macroinitiators for atom transfer radial polymerization (ATRP) of n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) and ethyl acrylate (EA). Both the polymerization processes were controlled and the polymers were characterized by 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and thermal properties, which confirmed the successful synthesis of all the poly-mers. The microphase separated behaviors of the poly (4-butyltriarylamine)-block-poly (butyl acrylate) (PBTPA-b-PBA) were examined by AFM in the film showing phase separation structures for all the polymers. The photorefractive property of the composite based on PBTPA-b-PBA block copolymer was evaluated by two-beam coupling experiment. A relative high gain coefficient of 42.7 cm?1 was obtained at the electric field of 31 V/?m.展开更多

A difunctional macroinitiator was prepared by esterification of 2,2-dichloroacetyl chloride with poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (PEG). The copolymers were obtained via the ATRP ofN-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) at 30℃ with CuCl/Me6TREN as a catalyst system and DMF/H2O (v/v = 3:1) mixture as solvent. The resulting copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and ^1H NMR. These block copolymers show controllable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (PDI 〈 1.15). Their phase transition temperatures and the corresponding enthalpy changes in aqueous solution were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). As a result, the phase transition temperature of PEG45-b-(PNIPAM55)2 is higher than that of PNIPAM, however, the corresponding enthalpy change is much lower, indicating the significant influence of the macromolecular composition and architecture on the phase transition.展开更多

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirmed the structure of PSt-g-PNIPAM. The gel permeation chromatography (GPC) showed that the graft copoly- mer had a single distribution peak with molecular weight, Mn (g/mol) of 19815 g/mol (using polystyrene as the standard). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that due to both effects of hydro- phobic isopropyl groups and hydrogen bonds in the amide group, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PSt-g-PNIPAM enhanced 16.0 ℃ compared to the Tg of the polystyrene.展开更多
