Title: Fundamental investigations into the free‐radical copolymerization of N ‐phenylmaleimide and norbornene

Abstract

ABSTRACT A fundamental investigation into the copolymerization of N ‐phenylmaleimide and norbornene via conventional free‐radical polymerization techniques was conducted. Reaction conditions were optimized for molecular weight and percent yield by tuning overall concentration and initiator loading. The copolymerization kinetics were monitored using in‐situ , variable temperature nuclear magnetic resonance and first‐order behavior was observed with respect to each monomer. Although the related copolymerization of norbornene and maleic anhydride was well‐known to proceed in a perfectly alternating manner, the copolymerization of norbornene and N ‐phenylmaleimide was found to deviate from strictly alternating copolymerization behavior, producing significant amounts of sequentially enchained N ‐phenylmaleimide units within the polymeric backbone. This deviation from perfectly alternating behavior was confirmed by analysis of individual monomer conversion rates and by measurement of monomer reactivity ratios using the Mayo–Lewis graphical analysis method. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High temperature structural, polymeric foams from high internal emulsion polymerization

Conference Hoisington, M A ; Duke, J R ; Apen, P G

In 1982, a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) polymerization process to manufacture microcellular, polymeric foam systems was patented by Unilever. This patent discloses a polymerization process that occurs in a water-in-oil emulsion in which the water represents at least 76% of the emulsion by volume. The oil phase consists of vinyl monomers such as styrene and acrylates that are crosslinked by divinyl monomers during polymerization. After polymerization and drying to remove the water phase, the result is a crosslinked polymer foam with an open cell microstructure that is homogeneous throughout in terms of morphology, density, and mechanical properties.

Responsive copolymers for enhanced petroleum recovery. Second annual report

Technical Report McCormick, C ; Hester, R

The authors describe second year efforts in synthesis, characterization, and rheology to develop polymers with significantly improved efficiency in mobility control and conformance. These advanced polymer systems would maintain high viscosities or behave as virtual gels under low shear conditions and at elevated electrolyte concentrations. At high fluid shear rates, associates would deaggregate yielding low viscosity solutions, reducing problems of shear degradation or face plugging during injection. Polymeric surfactants were also developed with potential for use in higher salt, higher temperature reservoirs for mobilization of entrapped oil.

Novel Bioplastics and biocomposites from Vegetable Oils

Thesis/Dissertation Henna, Phillip H.

Polymeric materials have been prevalent in our everyday lives for quite a long time. Most of today's polymeric materials are derived from nonrenewable petroleum-based feedstocks. Instabilities in the regions where petroleum is drilled, along with an increased demand in petroleum, have driven the price of crude oil to record high prices. This, in effect, increases the price of petroleum-based polymeric materials, which has caused a heightened awareness of renewable alternatives for polymeric feedstocks. Cellulose, starch, proteins and natural oils have all been examined as possible polymeric feedstocks. Natural oils are commercially available on a large scale and are relatively cheap.more »« less

Effect of side chain and backbone length on lamellar spacing in polystyrene‐block‐poly(dimethyl siloxane) brush block copolymers

Journal Article Fei, Huafeng ; Yavitt, Benjamin M. ; Kopanati, Gayathri ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part B, Polymer Physics

ABSTRACT We report the synthesis of polystyrene‐block‐poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PS‐ b ‐PDMS) brush block copolymers (BBCPs) through sequential ROMP of norbornene‐modified macromonomers (‐NB) and explore the effect of side chain length (N _sc ) and total backbone degree of polymerization (N _bb ) on the self‐assembly of lamellar morphologies. Group I (PS‐NB M _n = 2.9 kg/mol, PDMS‐NB M _n = 4.8 kg/mol) exhibits asymmetric side chains, while Group II (PS‐NB M _n = 4.7 kg/mol, PDMS‐NB M _n = 4.8 kg/mol) possess a more symmetric arrangement. Both families rapidly self‐assemble into well‐ordered lamellar morphologies with domain spacings (d ₀ )more »« less

Amidine-Mediated Zwitterionic Ring-Opening Polymerization of N -Alkyl N -Carboxyanhydride: Mechanism, Kinetics, and Architecture Elucidation

Journal Article Li, Ang ; Lu, Lu ; Li, Xin ; ... - Macromolecules

Zwitterionic ring-opening polymerization (ZROP) of N-butyl N-carboxyanhydrides (Bu-NCAs) has been investigated using 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU), a bicyclic amidine initiator. It was found that poly(N-butylglycine)s (PNBGs) with molecular weight (M_n) in the 3.5–32.4 kg mol–1 range and polydispersity index (PDI) in the 1.02–1.12 range can be readily obtained by systematically varying the initial monomer to initiator feed ratio. The polymerization exhibits characteristics of a controlled polymerization, as evidenced by the linear increase of polymer molecular weight with conversion and the successful enchainment experiments. Kinetic studies have shown that the reaction is first-order dependent on the monomer and the DBU concentration. The ratemore »« less
