Influences of a Dizinc Catalyst and Bifunctional Chain Transfer Agents on the Polymer Architecture in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone
Abstract
The polymerization of ε-caprolactone is reported using various bifunctional chain transfer agents and a dizinc catalyst. Conventionally, it is assumed that using a bifunctional chain transfer agent (CTA), polymerization will be initiated from both functional groups; however, in this study this assumption is not always substantiated. The different architectures and microstructures of poly(ε-caprolactone) samples (PCL) are compared using a series of bifunctional and monofunctional alcohols as the chain transfer agents, including trans -1,2-cyclohexanediol (CHD), ethylene glycol (EG), 1,2-propanediol (PD), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPD), 1-hexanol, 2-hexanol, and 2-methyl-2-pentanol. A mixture of two architectures is observed when diols containing secondary hydroxyls are used, such as cyclohexanediol or propanediol; there are chains that are both chain-extended and chain-terminated by the diol. These findings indicate that not all secondary hydroxyl groups initiate polymerization. In contrast, chain transfer agents containing only primary hydroxyl groups in environments without steric hindrance afford polymer chains of a single chain extended architecture, whereby polymer chains are initiated from both hydroxyl groups on the diol. Kinetic analyses of the polymerizations indicate that the propagation rate constant ( k p ) is significantly higher than the initiation rate constant ( k i ): k p / k i > 5. A kinetic study conducted using a series of monof…

“Clearly, the reactivity of secondary alcohols is known to be lower compared to that of primary alcohols. Such reactivity issue for different protic compounds has also been found for the initiation of ring opening polymerization [26, 27].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
