Abstract:

Styryl-terminated polystyrene macromonomers have been synthesised by the anionic polymerisation of styrene. Initiation was by sec-butyl lithium; termination involved the addition of diphenylethylene prior to vinyl benzyl chloride. Characterisation of the macromonomers was performed using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr). Novel comb graft copolymers were synthesised by the copolymerisation of the macromonomer with a comonomer. The following comonomers were used: Z-vinylpyridine (Z-VP), 4- vinylpyridine (4-VP) and N-(vinylbenzyl)pyrroli

The synthesis of amine end-functionalised polymers by controlled free radical techniques has been investigated with a focus on methods that provide primary amino end-functionalised polystyrene. The aim of these investigations was to provide precursors to block and graft polyolefins and polyesters by interchain coupling reactions. The approaches investigated involved developing strategies for the synthesis of phthalimido-functional polymers which can be quantitatively deprotected to yield the desired amino-functional polymers.

Abstract:

Free radical polymerisation with matched initiator and chain transfer agent has been used to produce carboxyl-terminated poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) homopolymers of controlled molar mass. These polymers were monofunctional with respect to carboxyl groups. The carboxyl terminated polymers were converted to methacrylate macromonomers via one of two methods. The first route used an acyl chloride intermediate. The second involved an epoxide ring opening reaction. The acyl chloride method gave macromonomers with high functionality (>0.9), whilst the epoxide method gave typical functionalities of 0.
