Controlled Chain Branching by RAFT-Based Radical Polymerization

Wang, Zhongmin, He, Junpo, Tao, Yuefei, Yang, Liu, Jiang, Hongjin, Yang, Yuliang·2003·Macromolecules

Abstract

Styrene radical polymerization was carried out in the presence of a polymerizable dithioester, benzyl 4-vinyldithiobenzoate, which possesses a dithioester group and a polymerizable double bond. Branched polystyrene was formed during the polymerization, as indicated by multimodal GPC curves of the products. The branched polystyrene contains a dithiobenzoate C( S)S moiety at each branch point and thus can be analyzed by cleavage with amine. After cleavage, the GPC profiles became narrow. The molecular weight of the cleaved product increased linearly with monomer conversion, illustrating a living fashion of the polymerization. Solution property obtained by simultaneous online measurements of viscosity and light scattering indicates that the viscosity of the branched product decreased remarkably as compared to the linear polystyrene of equivalent molecular weight. The copolymerization behavior of styrene and benzyl 4-vinyldithiobenzoate was investigated by FT-IR monitoring during the polymerization. The results show that the latter was incorporated homogeneously into polystyrene chain. Therefore, branched polystyrene was synthesized with controlled architecture in the light of the length and narrow distribution of primary chains as well as the degree and the distribution of branching along the polymer chain.

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.
