The aqueous photo-living radical polymerization of sodium methacrylate (NaMA) was attained using 2,2′-azobis2-methyl-N-[1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]-propionamide (V-80) as the initiator and 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (HTEMPO) as the mediator in the presence of (4-fluorophenyl)diphenylsulfonium triflate (FS). The polymerization was carried out in water at room temperature by irradiation using a high-pressure mercury lamp. Whereas the polymerization by V-80 and/or FS in the absence of HTEMPO produced polymers with very high molecular weights and broad molecular weight distributions, the HTEMPO-mediated polymerization provided still lower-molecular-weight distributions using both V-80 and FS. The first-order time-conversion plots had an induction period up to 2.5 h; however, they thereafter showed a linear increase. The conversion-molecular weight plots also exhibited a linear correlation. A linear correlation was also obtained for the plots of the molecular weights versus the reciprocal of the initiator concentration. Based on these three correlations, it was found that the HTEMPO-mediated photopolymerization proceeded by a living mechanism.

Environmentally benign adhesive was synthesized by dispersion copolymerization of styrene(St) and butyl acrylate (BA) in an ethanol medium with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) as the stabilizer in the presence of acrylic acid(AA) as the functional monomer. The effect of the concentration of stabilizer, initiator and functional monomer on the conversions, molecular weights and molecular weight distributions was investigated. The results show that the conversions almost keep invariable with the increasing of stabilizer concentration, but the molecular weights increase and molecular weight distributions decrease. Conversions increase with the increasing of initiator concentration, but the molecular weights and molecular weight distributions decrease. However with the increasing of functional monomer concentration, conversions and molecular weight distributions increase but the molecular weights decrease.

In this study, we investigated direct-controlled/living cationic polymerization and copolymerization of 4-vinylguaiacol (4VG), i.e., 4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyrene, which can be derived from naturally-occurring ferulic acid, to develop novel bio-based amphiphilic polystyrenes with phenol functions. The controlled/living cationic polymerization of 4VG was achieved using the R–OH/BF3·OEt2 initiating system, which is effective for the controlled/living polymerization of petroleum-derived 4-vinylphenol in the presence of a large amount of water via reversible activation of terminal C–OH bond catalyzed by BF3·OEt2, to result in the polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. The random or block copolymerization of 4VG was also examined using p-methoxystyrene (pMOS) as a comonomer with an aqueous initiating system to tune the amphiphilic nature of the 4VG-derived phenolic polymers. The obtained polymer can be expected not only to be used as a novel styrenic bio-based polymer but also as a material with amphiphilic nature for some applications.
