The shell layer with different functional groups was formed during the second-stage copolymerization of either divinylbenzene (DVB) or ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinker and the functional comonomers, in which the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the carboxylic acid group of PMAA core and the functional groups of the corresponding comonomers, including carboxylic acid, amide and pyridyl, played an essential role for the formation of monodisperse core-shell functional microspheres. The hollow polymer microspheres were then developed after the subsequent removal of PMAA cores by dissolution in ethanol under basic condition. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the morphology of the resultant PMAA core, functional core-shell microspheres and the corresponding hollow polymer microspheres with different functional groups. FT-IR spectra confirmed the successful incorporation of the various functional groups on the shell layer of the hollow polymer microspheres.展开更多

The experiments were investigated from a two-dimensional matrix, i.e., the actual crosslinking degree of DVB varying from 0 to 80% and the solvent composition varying from 0 to 100% of toluene mixture with acetonitrile, when the mixture of acetonitrile and toluene was used as the reaction solvent. Under various reaction conditions, six distinct morphologies including soluble polymers, swellable microgels, coagulum, irregular microparticles, and nano-/micrometer microspheres were formed and the structures of these polymer architectures were described. A morphological map was utilized to discuss the effects of both crosslinking degree of DVB and composition of solvent on the transitions between morphology domains. The results demonstrated that the microspheres are formed by an internal contraction due to the marginal solvency of the continuous phase and the crosslinking of the polymer network through the covalent bonding from DVB as well as the interchain hydrogen-bonding between the carboxylic acid units.展开更多

Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.展开更多

This paper reports a new process, called self-stabilized precipitation polymerization, in which the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is conducted in hydrocarbon diluents without addition of any suspending agent or emulsifier. The merits of this novel strategy include:(1) PVC resins with ultra-low number-average molecular weight (Mn) from 4000 to 15000, which is much lower than Mn of those prepared by conventional suspension and emulsion polymerizations,(2) sub-micrometer PVC particles with near spherical morphology, and (3) the very simple post-polymerization separation process. Under mild stirring, polymerization proceeds stably and smoothly. The influences of main process factors, such as solvents, initiator and monomer concentrations, polymerization time, and temperature on both particle morphology and Mn of the polymer products are investigated systematically. The molar ratio of-CH2-CHCl-/-CH=CH-CH2CHCl, a good indicator of structural defects, is about 1000/0.1 which means the low molecular weights do not result from chain transfer to the monomers. Then the mechanism of this polymerization is proposed. In summary, this novel polymerization technology provides a straightforward method for preparing PVC particulate products with low Mn.展开更多

The sensing materials were synthesized by precipitation polymerization. By using the Scatchard analysis, the equilibrium dissociation constant K-D and the apparent maximum number Q(max) of the binding sites were calculated to be 3.70 mmol (.)

The recoveries of the sensor were 95.1%-105.4%. Studies presented in this paper show that the stability of this sensor is excellent. The sensor has been applied successfully to the determination of dipyridamole in human urine.展开更多

The number-average diameter of the resultant poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) microspheres ranged from 0.478 to 1.386 μm with a polydispersity index of 1.00 to 1.02 that depended on the feed ratios of the MA/CHVE/DVB monomers. The introduction of one electron donor monomer cyclohexyl vinyl ether strongly affected the yield, size, and morphology of these slightly crosslinked microspheres. Quinoline- type chelating resins were obtained after combining the poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) with 8-hydroxyquinoline; the adsorption properties of these materials were measured through their ability to remove Cu^2+ ions from water. The poly(MA-CHVE-DVB) microspheres with low degrees of crosslinking provided more effective functional groups and therefore better ion removal capabilities. These slightly crosslinked microspheres may have applications in water treatment as well as in sensing and drug delivery.展开更多

The two-stage precipitation polymerization is composed of an initial conventional precipitation polymerization for the nucleation followed by a reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (reverse ATRP) for the controlled polymerization process. The polymerization parameters (including reaction time for the first stage, AIBN amount and monomer loading) have been studied to show significant influences on the morphologies. Moreover, narrower size distribution and an ATRP initiator-functional surface of resulting particles can be obtained by applying reverse ATRP to conventional precipitation polymerization in the second stage. Furthermore, the "livingness" of the resulting polymer microspheres was testified by their surface modification of poly[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) brushes via surface-initiated ATRP (SI-ATRP).展开更多

文摘Poly(vinyl chloride), with ultralow molecular weight, produced by free radical polymerization either at high temperature or in the presence of chain transfer agents, is widely used as special resins and polymer process additives. This paper reports a new process, called self-stabilized precipitation polymerization, in which the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is conducted in hydrocarbon diluents without addition of any suspending agent or emulsifier. The merits of this novel strategy include:(1) PVC resins with ultra-low number-average molecular weight (Mn) from 4000 to 15000, which is much lower than Mn of those prepared by conventional suspension and emulsion polymerizations,(2) sub-micrometer PVC particles with near spherical morphology, and (3) the very simple post-polymerization separation process. Under mild stirring, polymerization proceeds stably and smoothly. The influences of main process factors, such as solvents, initiator and monomer concentrations, polymerization time, and temperature on both particle morphology and Mn of the polymer products are investigated systematically. The molar ratio of-CH2-CHCl-/-CH=CH-CH2CHCl, a good indicator of structural defects, is about 1000/0.1 which means the low molecular weights do not result from chain transfer to the monomers. Then the mechanism of this polymerization is proposed. In summary, this novel polymerization technology provides a straightforward method for preparing PVC particulate products with low Mn.

文摘Narrow-disperse, surface-functionalized "living" polymer microspheres with uniformly cross-linked structures were prepared by two-stage precipitation copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene. The two-stage precipitation polymerization is composed of an initial conventional precipitation polymerization for the nucleation followed by a reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (reverse ATRP) for the controlled polymerization process. The polymerization parameters (including reaction time for the first stage, AIBN amount and monomer loading) have been studied to show significant influences on the morphologies. Moreover, narrower size distribution and an ATRP initiator-functional surface of resulting particles can be obtained by applying reverse ATRP to conventional precipitation polymerization in the second stage. Furthermore, the "livingness" of the resulting polymer microspheres was testified by their surface modification of poly[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) brushes via surface-initiated ATRP (SI-ATRP).
