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.

Polystyrene-styrene/butadiene diblock copolymers were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer （RAFT） miniemulsion polymerization.During the polymerization process,the molecular weight distribution was narrow and the numerical molecular weight of the copolymers increased with increasing conversion of monomers,which was close to the theoretical.FT-IR and ^1H NMR results indicated that the microstructure of the polymer was mainly 1,4-trans-butadiene with small amount of 1,2-units,and composition in the copolymers was obtained.

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.

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。
