Numerous olefin metathesis processes are previously known in the art. In general, olefin metathesis involves catalytic cleavage of one or more olefins at a point of unsaturation and recombination of the resulting cleavage products to form different olefin containing reaction products. Often, low molecular weight olefins and cyclic olefins are employed 10 as reagents in the foregoing reaction mixtures in order to provide low viscosity reaction mixtures, well defined reaction products, reduced polymer product molecular weight, and/or mixtures suitable for reaction injection molding (RIM) com- positions. Examples of the foregoing processes are disclosed in USP 5,731,383, 4,994,535, 4,049,616, 3,891,816, 3,692,872, and elsewhere. [0002] Metathesis involving polymeric olefins is also known. In Macromol., 33, 1494-1496 (2000), solid polymers were 15 depolymerized by surface contact with a metathesis catalyst. Reaction products of polymer metathesis can include random or block copolymers, functionalized polymers obtained through functionalization of resulting terminal unsatura- tion, ring opened metathesis products, and even cross-linked solids. Metathesis of two or more different olefins is referred to as a "cross-metathesis". Examples of such processes are disclosed by USP’s 6,867,274, 6,410,110, 5,603,985, 5,559,190, 5,446,102, 4,049,616, and other references. Suitable unsaturated polymers for the foregoing processes 20 include diene homopolymers and copolymers or partially hydrogenated derivatives thereof. Use of cyclic olefins can result in the formation of polymers having narrow molecular weight distributions. For example, preparations of linear polyethylene and poly(ethylidene-norbornene)/polycyclopentene diblock copolymers by ring opening metathesis of poly- cyclopentene or sequential polymerization of mixtures of ethylidene-norbornene and polycyclopentene were disclosed in Macromol., 33(25), 9215-9221 (2000). 25 [0003] In USP’s 3,692,872, 3,891,816 and 4,010,224 graft and block copolymers and interpolymers were prepared by metathesis of two polymers containing olefinic unsaturation, such as polybutadiene or polyisoprene. Monomers such as cyclooctene or dimers such as cyclooctadiene-cyclopentadiene dimer could be included in the polymerization as well. Similar processes involving the cross-metathesis of polybutadiene with polycyclooctene or polycyclododecene as well as grafting of EPDM polymers via metathesis were disclosed in DE 2,131,355 and DE 2,242,794. In the former process, 30 "thermoplastic properties were imparted to the elastomer". A summary of the work appeared in J. Mol. Catal., 15, 3-19 (1982). [0004] Similarly, in USP’s 3,692,872, 3,891,816 and 4,010,224 graft and block copolymers and interpolymers were prepared by metathesis of two polymers containing olefinic unsaturation, such as polybutadiene and polyisoprene. Monomers and dimers such as cyclooctene or cyclooctadiene-cyclopentadiene dimer could be included in the polym- 35 erization as well. Exemplified polymer pairs included partially polymerized cements of polycyclooctene and polycy- clooctadiene (Ex. I), EPDM/ polybutadiene (Ex. II and V), and two EPDM/ cyclooctadiene copolymers having differing cyclooctadiene contents (Ex. III). [0005] In Macromol., 36, 9675-96777 (2003) the ethenolysis of polypropylene/ 1,3-butadiene copolymers to prepare polymers having slightly increased melting temperature for the isotactic polymer segments due to improved packing of 40 shorter chain segments was disclosed. In German Democratic Republic patents DD 146,052 and DD 146,053, 1,4-cis- polybutadiene and copolymerssuch as ABS rubber or SBrubber were subjectedto metathetic depolymerization optionally in the presence of a functionalizing agent, especially an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester. According to USP 7,022,789, the products were polydisperse rubbers indicating the presence of cross-linking due to undesirable quantities of vinyl groups in the product. 45 [0006] In Macromol., 37, 3328-3336 (2004), a series of segmented copolymers was synthesized via acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) chemistry by copolymerizing either an aliphatic carbonate hard segment diene or an aromatic ester hard segment diene with a telechelic oligomer soft segment diene of either poly(tetramethylene oxide) or polyisobutylene. [0007] In US3860675A, block polymers were prepared from at least two polymers which contain C=C double bonds. The at least two polymers containing C=C groups were treated in the liquid phase with a mixed catalysts of (a) a compound 50 of metals of group Vb or VIb of the periodic system, and (b) an organometallic compound of a metal of groups la to III a of the periodic system and a cocatalyst of epoxides of halogenated alcohols. [0008] Disadvantageously, the foregoing known polymeric olefin metathesis products are lacking in desirable physical properties due to the fact that at equilibrium, the individual block lengths, which approach the lengths of the unsaturated segments in the starting polymer reagents, are undesirably short and lacking in polymeric character. Moreover, the 55 individual blocks do not differ significantly from one another in chemical properties. For example, segment properties of polycyclooctene and polycyclododecene or of polybutadiene and polyisoprene, are nearly chemically equivalent. Co- polymers comprised of such polymer segments do not possess advantaged properties. Conventional block copolymers, such as those prepared by anionic polymerization techniques readily incorporate dissimilar, immiscible, lengthy segments 3 EP 2 057 205 B1 in the same polymer chain. Because the segments are of sufficient molecular weight to possess measurable physical properties, such as glass transition temperature (Tg), crystalline melting point (Tm), dielectric constant or solubility parameter the resulting polymers possess enhanced properties. For example, the presence of crystalline polymer seg- ments having a relatively high melting point and elastomeric polymer segments within the same polymer chain gives 5 thermoplastic materials having improved elastomeric and mechanical properties, such as high tensile strength, hyster- esis, and tear properties.

  • Chain-Growth Polymerization, Version of 1/5/05
    Chapter Three, Chain-growth polymerization, Version of 1/5/05 3 Chain-growth polymerization 3.1 Introduction We indicated in Chapter 1 that the category of addition polymers is best characterized by the mechanism of the polymerization reaction, rather than by the addition reaction itself. This is known to be a chain mechanism, so in the case of addition polymers we have chain reactions producing chain molecules. One thing to bear in mind is the two uses of the word chain in this discussion. The word chain continues to offer the best description of large polymer molecules. A chain reaction, on the other hand, describes a whole series of successive events triggered by some initial occurrence. We sometimes encounter this description of highway accidents in which one traffic mishap on a fogbound highway results in a pileup of colliding vehicles that can extend for miles. In nuclear reactors a cascade of fission reactions occurs which is initiated by the capture of the first neutron. In both of these examples some initiating event is required. This is also true in chain-growth polymerization. In the above examples the size of the chain can be measured by considering the number of automobile collisions that result from the first accident, or the number of fission reactions which follow from the first neutron capture. When we think about the number of monomers that react as a result of a single initiation step, we are led directly to the degree of polymerization of the resulting molecule. In this way the chain mechanism and the properties of the polymer chains are directly related.

    MODULE-1 Introduction: -The macromolecules are divided between biological and non-biological materials. The biological polymers form the very foundation of life and intelligence, and provide much of the food on which man exists. The non-biological polymers are primarily the synthetic materials used for plastics, fibers and elastomers but a few naturally occurring polymers such as rubber wool and cellulose are included in this class. Today these substances are truly indispensable to mankind because these are essential to his clothing,shelter, transportation, communication as well as the conveniences of modern living. Polymer Biological Non- biological Proteins, starch, wool plastics, fibers easterners Note: Polymer is not said to be as macromolecule, because polymer is composedof repeating units whereas the macromolecules may not be composed of repeating units. Definition: A polymer is a large molecule built up by the repetition of small, simple chemical units known as repeating units which are held together by chemical covalent bonds. These repeating units are called monomer Polymer – ---- poly + meres Many parts In some cases, the repetition is linear but in other cases the chains are branched on interconnected to form three dimensional networks. The repeating units of the polymer are usually equivalent on nearly equivalent to the monomer on the starting material from which the polymer is formed. A higher polymer is one in which the number of repeating units is in excess of about 1000 Degree of polymerization (DP): - The no of repeating units or monomer units in the chain of a polymer is called degree of polymerization (DP) . The molecular weight of an addition polymer is the product of the molecular weight of the repeating unit and the degree of polymerization (DP).
