A series of thermally stable organic polymers [poly(2,5-diethynylpyridine] (5), [poly(1,4- diethynyl benzene)] (6), [poly(2,5-dialkyl-p-phenyleneethynylene)] (7), and [poly(p,p-diethynylbiphenyl)] (8), were synthesized by the reaction between diterminal aryleneethynylene, [HCCArCCH] {Ar = C5H5N (1); Ar = C6H6 (2); Ar = C6H4(CH3)2 (3); Ar = C6H4-C6H4 (4)} and CuCl in pyridine by Hay’s oxidative coupling method. Then the organometallic polymers [Ph (PnBu3)2Pt-C≡C-(Ar-C≡C-C≡C)n-Pt((PnBu3)2Ph] {Ar = C5H5N (9); Ar = C6H6 (10); Ar = C6H4(CH3)2 (11); Ar = C6H4-C6H4 (12)}   were synthesized by the reaction of organic polymers 5, 6, 7 and 8 with metal precursor (PnBu3)2 PtPhCl in diethylisopropileamine with good yield. These metal-linked polymers were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 31P-NMR spectra. Finally the molecular weight of the organometallic polymers (9, 10, 11 and 12) was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). It is clearly observed from GPC that the polymers were synthesized with different degree of polymerization. Keywords:  Organometallic polymers; Hay’s Oxidative coupling; GPC. © 2011 JSR Publications.

AbstractA series of novel aromatic copolyimides was synthesized from pyromellitic dianhydride with the commercial diamine 4,4’-methylenebisaniline (MBA) and the diamine 4,4’-methylenebis(2-tert-butylaniline) (MBTBA) specially designed by ourselves. The solubility of the copolyimides in conventional solvents decreased with the mole ratio of MBTBA to MBA. When MBTBA/MBA was larger than 8/2, the copolyimides are soluble in low boiling point solvents (such as chloroform and tetrahydrofuran) and can form a transparent, flexible, tough film by solution casting. When MBTBA/MBA was between 7/3 and 5/5, the copolyimides are only soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents (such as dimethylformamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and form films, too. The copolyimide was precipitated in m-cresol in the polymerization process when MBTBA/MBA was lower than 5/5. The number-average molecular weights of the soluble copolyimides measured by gel permeation chromatography were larger than 5.0·104 and the polydispersity index was higher than 1.5. Only one glass transition of these copolyimides was detected at around 350°C. The copolyimides did not show appreciable decomposition up to 400°C under air and 550°C under nitrogen, and their thermal stability increased a little with the introduction of MBA into the polymer chains.

Abstract Novel polysiloxane based ABA-type triblock copolymers having a secondary amine at the junction point were synthesized using a combination of ring opening equilibration polymerization (ROEP), Michael addition and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Polysiloxane based bifunctional ATRP macroinitiators were synthesized and subsequently used for controlled radical polymerization of t-butyl acrylate (t-BA) and sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA). Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis of the triblocks based on t-BA showed high chain end functionality, due to the disappearance of peaks related to the macroinitiator. ROEP can be used to control the block length of the polysiloxane while ATRP can be used to control the chain length of the outer blocks, making the ABA- type triblock a unique material with secondary amine functionality which can be used for further reaction.

A series of polysilanes was prepared by the alkali metal dechlorination of chlorosilane monomers, in which the overall functionality, F, of the reaction was varied. Starting monomers of functionality f = 2.0 and 3.0 were reacted together in various proportions to achieve values of F of 2.2, 2.35, and 2.5. In addition to varying the functionality of the reaction, three different difunctional monomers, dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDCS), diphenyldichlorosilane (DPDCS), and methylphenyldichlorosilane (MPDCS), and two trifunctional monomers, phenyltrichlorosilane (PTCS) and ethyltrichlorosilane (ETCS), were used. The effect of these changes on the yields of the polysilanes was determined, and the products were investigated by the use of thermogravimetry (TG), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA). The ability to spin a polysilane fiber was also assessed.

Abstract The homopolymer of 4-chloromethylstyrene and its copolymers with styrene (in 1:3 and 1:1 mole ratio) were synthesized by bulk and solution freeradical polymerisations, respectively, at 70±1°C using α,α'-azoisobutyronitrile as an initiator. Highly sterically hindered tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl (Tsi) substituents were then covalently linked to the obtained homopolymer and copolymers. The polymers were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography. DSC showed that incorporation of Tsi substituents in the side chains of homopolymer and copolymers increases the rigidity of the polymers and, subsequently, their glass transition temperature.

Supramolecular elastomers based on quaternary hydrogen bonding of ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) groups own special properties such as reversibility, self-healing, and good processability, which can be used in many special fields. In this paper, a novel type of linear polyisoprene supramolecular elastomer (LPSE) was prepared via anionic polymerization by deliberately introducing hydroxyl, isocyanate, and UPy groups into the ends. The formation of supramolecular structure showed significant effects on the microphase structures of LPSE, which was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Results showed that the introduction of UPy groups played a certain role in the improvement of the thermal stability, toughness, and tensile strength of the elastomer. Moreover, from self-healing tests, the hydrogen bonds of UPy showed dynamic characteristics which were different from covalent sacrificial bonds and exhibited the reassociation phenomenon. This study can not only extend our understanding of the toughening effect of strong hydrogen bonds, but also help us to rationally design new and tough elastomers.

Aldol condensation between furans and levulinates shows a selective route for the polymers production. In this work, the influences of mole ratio between furans and levulinates as well as substrate species on the formation of polymers structure were investigated. The characterization of gel permeation chromatography and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance to the synthesized polymers suggested that the mole ratio between furans and levulinates, and substrate species exhibited a great effect on the structure of polymers. Higher mole ratios between furans and levulinates resulted in the aggravated polymerization. EMF-EL polymers showed larger molecular weight distribution compared with FFA-EL/LA polymers. This investigation further provides other key factors to the decision of polymer structure.

AbstractMolar masses, Mark-Houwink-Sakurada (MHS) exponents, and refractive index increments (dn/dc) for three lignins were determined without derivatization by multi-detector gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) with 0.05 M lithium bromide (LiBr). The lack of effectiveness of fluorescence filters on molar mass determination by GPC-multi-angle laser light scattering (MALS) was confirmed for softwood kraft lignin (Indulin AT) and revealed for mixed hardwood organosolv lignin (Alcell) as well as soda straw/grass lignin (Protobind 1000). GPC with viscometry detection confirmed that these lignins were present as compact molecules. The MHS exponent α for Indulin AT and Alcell was in the order of 0.1. Additionally, the intrinsic viscosity of Protobind 1000 for a given molar mass was much lower than that of either Alcell or Indulin AT. This is the first report of dn/dc values for these three lignins in DMF with 0.05 M LiBr.
