This approach takes advantage of the significantly higher reactivity toward nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions, NAS, of B 2, 4-Fluorophenyl sulfone, relative to B 3, tris (4-Fluorophenyl) phosphine oxide. The A 2 oligomers were synthesized by reaction of Bisphenol-A and B 2, in the presence of the B 3 unit, at temperatures between 100 and 160 °C, followed by an increase in the reaction temperature to 180 °C at which point the branching unit was incorporated.

  • Aim: to Prepare Block Copolymers of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and Styrene
    Conducting A Reversible-Deactivation Radical Polymerization (RDRP) Aim: To Prepare Block Copolymers of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and Styrene. Polymers are ubiquitous in the modern world. They provide tremendous value because the chemical and physical properties of these materials are determined by the monomers that are used to put them together. One of the most powerful methods to construct polymers is radical-chain polymerization and this method is used in the commercial synthesis of polymers everyday. Methyl methacrylate is polymerized to form poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) which is also known as acrylic glass or Plexiglas (about 2 billion pounds per year in the US). This material is lightweight, strong and durable. The polymer chains are rigid due to the tetrasubstituted carbon atom in the polymer backbone and they have excellent optical clarity. As a consequence, these materials are used in aircraft windows, glasses, skylights, signs and displays. Polystyrene (PS), which can also be synthesized from radical chain polymerization, has found extensive use as a material (also approximately 2 billion pounds per year in the US). One of the forms of PS, Styrofoam, is used extensively to make disposable cups, thermal insulation, and cushion for packaging. Scheme 1. Radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate or styrene. While there are extensive uses for these polymers, when synthesizing any material using a free-radical polymerization, samples are obtained with limited control over molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. New methods have been developed directly at Carnegie Mellon (https://www.cmu.edu/maty/) which lead to improved control in this process. This new method is a reversible-deactivation of the polymerization reaction where highly reactive radicals toggle back and forth between an active state, where the polymer chain is growing, and a dormant state, where the polymer chain is capped (Scheme 2).

Roberts, William W . Walton, and Ralph S. Jessup Bomb-calorimetric m easurements have yielded for the heats of combustion (-t:"Hc0) at 25° C of liquid styrcne and solid polystyrene to form gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid watcr the values 4394.88 ± 0.67 into kj/mole (1050.58 ± 0.14 kcal/mole) , and 4325.09 ± 0.42 int. kj/CsH s-unit (1033.89 ± 0.10 kcal/CsHs-unit), resp ectively, and for the heat of polymerization of liquid styrene to solid polystyrene at 25° C the value 69.79 ± 0.66 into kj/mole (16.68 ± 0.16 kcal/mole) . The results obtained on two samples of polystyrcne of different molecular weight were in agreement within the p'recision of the measurements. M easurements of the heat of olution of solid polystyrenc in liquid monomeric styrene gave the value 3.59 ± 0.21 l,nt. kj (0.86 ± 0.05 kcal) evolved per CsH s-unit of polystyrene at 25 ° C. Addition of this to the value for the heat of polymerization of liquid styrene to solid polystyrene gives the value 73.38 ± 0.69 into kj (17.54 ± 0.16 kcal) per mole of styrenc for the heat of polymerization of liquid styrene at 25° C, when the final product is a solution of polystyrene in styrene containing 6.9 percent by weight of polystyrene.

  • TEST - Alkenes, Alkadienes and Alkynes
    Seminar_2 1. Nomenclature of unsaturated hydrocarbons 2. Polymerization 3. Reactions of the alkenes (table) 4. Reactions of the alkynes (table) TEST - Alkenes, alkadienes and alkynes. Polymerization • Give the names • Write the structural formula • Write all isomeric compounds • The processes explanation 1. NOMENCLATURE OF UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS ALKENE NOMENCLATURE We give alkenes IUPAC names by replacing the -ane ending of the corresponding alkane with -ene . The two simplest alkenes are ethene and propene. Both are also well known by their common names ethylene and propylene. Ethylene is an acceptable synonym for ethene in the IUPAC system. Propylene, isobutylene, and other common names ending in -ylene are not acceptable IUPAC names. 1. The longest continuous chain that includes the double bond forms the base name of the alkene. 2. Chain is numbered in the direction that gives the doubly bonded carbons their lower numbers. 3. The locant (or numerical position) of only one of the doubly bonded carbons is specified in the name; it is understood that the other doubly bonded carbon must follow in sequence. 4. Carbon-carbon double bonds take precedence over alkyl groups and halogens in determining the main carbon chain and the direction in which it is numbered. 5. The common names of certain frequently encountered alkyl groups, such as isopropyl and tert-butyl, are acceptable in the IUPAC system. Three alkenyl groups--vinyl, allyl, and isopropenyl--are treated the same way: 6. When a CH 2 group is doubly bonded to a ring, the prefix methylene is added to the name of the ring: 7. Cycloalkenes and their derivatives are named by adapting cycloalkane terminology to the principles of alkene nomenclature: No locants are needed in the absence of substituents; it is understood that the double bond connects C-1 and C 2.

For vinyl irradiation of the photoinitiator monomers in solution kt /kp>> 1, (PI) in the presence of a monomer and post-polymerization leads to a (M) quickly leads to termination of negligible additional consumption polymerization due to lack of new of M (formation of polymer). The radicals from the PI.1 Reactive macro- rate constants kp and kt (each has radicals, which exist in the solution dimension of M-1∙s-1) characterizes at the moment irradiation is stopped, the free-radical polymerization chain undergo primarily bimolecular reaction in solution. The rate constant termination: of an elementary bimolecular reaction kt in a diluted solution does not depend . → Rn + Rm macromolecule (1) upon time or concentration of reagents While “dying,” macro-radicals react but depends only upon temperature with the monomer: and pressure.

  • Emulsion Polymerization
    Emulsion Polymerization Reference: Aspen Polymers: Unit Operations and Reaction Models, Aspen Technology, Inc., 2013. 1. Introduction Emulsion polymerization is an industrially important process for the production of polymers used as synthetic rubber, adhesives, paints, inks, coatings, etc. The polymerization is usually carried out using water as the dispersion medium. This makes emulsion polymerization less detrimental to the environment than other processes in which volatile organic liquids are used as a medium. In addition, emulsion polymerization offers distinct processing advantages for the production of polymers. Unlike in bulk or solution polymerization, the viscosity of the reaction mixture does not increase as dramatically as polymerization progresses. For this reason, the emulsion polymerization process offers excellent heat transfer and good temperature throughout the course of polymer synthesis. In emulsion polymerization, free-radical propagation reactions take place in particles isolated from each other by the intervening dispersion medium. This reduces termination rates, giving high polymerization rates, and simultaneously makes it possible to produce high molecular weight polymers. One can increase the rate of polymerization without reducing the molecular weight of the polymer. Emulsion polymerization has more recently become important for the production of a wide variety of specialty polymers. This process is always chosen when the polymer product is used in latex form. 2. Reaction Kinetic Scheme To appreciate the complexities of emulsion polymerization, a basic understanding of the fundamentals of particle formation and of the kinetics of the subsequent particle growth stage is required. A number of mechanisms have been proposed for particle formation. It is generally accepted that any one of the mechanisms could be responsible for particle formation depending on the nature of the monomer and the amount of emulsifier used in the recipe.
