The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)/FeCl3/triphenylphosphine(PPh3) as the initiating system, was successfully carried out in bulk at 80°C. Plots of In ([M]0/[M]) vs time and molecular weight evolution vs monomer conversion presented a linear dependence and the polymerization was proved to accord with the first-order kinetics. After 10 hours’ reaction, the monomer conversion was up to 84%. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was used in testing the molecular weight of polymer and molecular weight distribution, the results showed that polymer molecular weight distribution was as low as 1.018 (Mn=3288 g/mol). Moreover, the resultant polymer was characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and Pyrolysis GC-MS, and the results showed that the polymerization mechanism is consistent with RATRP.

Abstract This paper has described a method to obtain the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polymeric materials from their rheological data. The method has been developed for linear polymers with log normal molecular weight distribution. The rheological data required to obtain the molecular weight distribution are the shear storage modulus,G' (ω) , and shear loss modulus,G" (ω) , extending from the terminal zone to the plateau region. For determining the molecular weight average, the method uses the relationship between stress moduli and relaxation spectrums, with the equation that connects dynamic rheological data with molecular weight distribution, and so it is not necessary to achieve the relaxation spectrums and the molecular weight distribution is obtained directly from dynamic shear experiments and it is one of the main advantageous of the proposed method. Comparison of calculated and experimental data obtained by GPC for five polypropylene samples produced in different conditions show that model can correctly predict molecular weight distribution for these types of polymers.
