    Notes: A novel acetylenic monomer 2-N-ethyl pyridinium trifluoromethane sulfonate (2EPyEtTf) was synthesized and polymerized. Diblock copolymers of 2EPyEtTf with styrene and with butadiene were prepared. Initiation of the polymerization by living anionic polystyryl--Li+ and polybutadienyl--Li+ (Scheme 1) resulted in polystyrene-block-poly(N-ethyl-2-ethynylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate) (PS57PA8), and polybutadiene -block-poly(N-ethyl-2-ethynylpyridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate) (PB30PA8). These amphiphilic block molecules contain rigid, conjugated, and strongly hydrophilic polyacetylene chain fragments attached to hydrophobic polystyrene or flexible polybutadiene chain fragments. The structure of these copolymers was studied by FTIR, UV-visible, and NMR spectroscopy. GPC and viscometry were also used to obtain information on the molecular mass and the molecular mass distribution. Thermal behavior was investigated by means of TGA and DSC. Both block copolymers were shown to form stable monolayers at the air-water interface. The positively charged rigid polyacetylene portion of the copolymer is believed to be partially submerged, while the more flexible hydrophobic chains are forced out of the water. Multilayers of PB30PA8 deposited using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique were found to be less uniform than in the case of the previously reported polystyrene-block-poly(2EPyMeTf) (PS12PA4) copolymer (Balogh et al., Macromolecules, 29, 1996). Polycation-polyanion self-assembly deposition was also investigated, using polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) as polyanion. While PS57PA8/PSS layer-by-layer deposition was not uniform, it was found that PB30PA8/PSS gave homogenous and stable films on hydrophilic glass substrates. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The polymerization of inverse microemulsions of 2-methacryloyl oxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride stabilized by a blend of nonionic emulsifiers (a sorbitan sesquioleate and a sorbitan monooleate) and initiated by UV light in the presence of Azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) was investigated. The effect of initiator concentration, light intensity, emulsifier concentration, and dispersed phase weight fraction on the polymerization rate (Rp), number of polymer particles (Np), and polymer molecular weight (Mw) was studied. The application of this process to tubular reactors is discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 737-748, 1998

    Notes: A kinetic model for evaluating the chain length distribution of a branched polymer produced in emulsion was developed. Chain branching occurring through any intermolecular mechanism is considered, namely, crosslinking, chain transfer to polymer and propagation to terminal double bond. The model accounts for active chain compartmentalization and, when coupled to a model able to describe the evolution of the polymerization system, allows evaluation of the cumulative properties of the produced polymer both in the pregel and postgel phases. The numerical difficulties related to the description of a rather wide polymer chain population and of gel formation are overcome by using the ‘numerical fractionation’ technique. A parametric analysis of both instantaneous and cumulative properties is reported and discussed, with special attention to the role of radical compartmentalization in determining the molecular weight properties of a polymer produced in emulsion. Significant differences with the molecular weights computed using models developed for homogeneous (non compartmentalized) systems have been found. A comparison with the predictions of Flory's statistical theory is also reported in terms of gel point and gel weight fraction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The reactivity ratios for these four types of copolymerizations were r1 = 1.73 and r2 = 0.846; r1 = 2.26 and r2 = 0.310; r1 = 1.28 and r2 = 0.825; r1 = 2.23 and r2 = 0.515, respectively. The relative reactivities of these monomers towards cationic polymerization are: 3 〉 2 〉 1; and 6 〉 5 〉 4. With both five- and six-membered ring cyclic ketene acetals, the reactivity increased with increasing methyl substitution on the ring. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Two kinds of temperature-sensitive composite polymer particles were prepared by seeded emulsion copolymerizations of (dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate with 0.14 μm-sized polystyrene and 0.26 μm-sized poly(methylmethacrylate) seed particles. To evaluate the usefulness as a carrier for biomolecules, the enzymatic activities of trypsin adsorbed on these two composite polymer particles were measured at temperatures above and below each lower critical solution temperature (LCST). In both cases, adsorbed trypsin retained its enzymatic activity during repeated adsorption/desorption measurements. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 883-888, 1998

    Notes: The cyclopolymerization of 3,4-di-O-allyl-1,2 : 5,6-dianhydro-D-mannitol (1) was carried out using BF3·OEt2 and t-BuOK. The polymer obtained by the polymerization with BF3·OEt2 mainly consisted of (1→6)-bonded 3,4-di-O-allyl-2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol as the five-membered constitutional repeating unit, though it contained a small amount of other cyclic repeating units. On the other hand, during the polymerization using t-BuOK, the stereoregular polymer (1→6)-linked 3,4-di-O-allyl-2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (2) was synthesized via a regio- and stereoselective mechanism. Cleavage of the allyl ether linkage in polymer 2 occurred to produce the polymer consisting of only 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol units, i.e., (1→6)-2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (3). Chromatographic enantioseparation of chloroquine and tröger base has been performed on (3,5-dimethylphenyl)carbamate and 4-methylbenzoate derivatives of 3 as a chiral stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Linear segmented polyesters containing soft perfluoropolyether (PFPE) and hard aromatic segments are obtained by an interfacial polycondensation reaction of an acyl chloride-ended fluorinated prepolymer with various aromatic diphenols in the presence of phase transfer catalysts (PTC) as accelerators. Experimental conditions for reaching high molecular weights are discussed. The calorimetric analysis (DSC) of all the polyesters synthesized shows a typical biphasic morphology, where a very low Tg (〈 -110°C) corresponding to the segregated PFPE moiety, is always accompanied by another Tg or a higher melting temperature, depending on the nature of the hard phase. Dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA) has been carried out confirming the DSC results and suggesting diversified mechanical behaviors at the various temperatures in line with the amorphous or semicrystalline nature of the polymer. Chemical resistance was finally tested by dipping in several solvents and chemicals. The new polyesters show high contact angles, a moderate swelling in many organic solvents and excellent stability in aggressive hydrolytic environments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of new thermosensitive polymer hydrogels were prepared by reacting acylated poly(ethylene glycol) bis(carboxymethyl) ether (PEGBCOCl) with lactitol-based polyether polyols (LPEP). The polyether polyols were generated from propoxylation of lactitol and have molecular weights ranging from 1337 to 4055 g/mol. The hydrogels absorb water up to 1000% of their dry weight and expel free water at temperatures at and above 30°C. The wide ranging swelling behavior and excellent thermosensitivity depend closely on the degree of crosslinking and the propylene oxide lengths in the polyols. Differential scanning calorimetry of the hydrogels showed two endotherms associated with the phase transitions of PO and EO segments in the hydrogel structures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This paper discusses the poly(ethylene-co-p-methylstyrene) copolymers prepared by metallocene catalysts, such as Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 and [C5Me4(SiMe2NtBu)]-TiCl2, with constrained ligand geometry. The copolymerization reaction was examined by comonomer reactivity (reactivity ratio and comonomer conversion versus time), copolymer microstructure (DSC and 13C-NMR analyses) and the comparisons between p-methylstyrene and other styrene-derivatives (styrene, o-methylstyrene and m-methylstyrene). The combined experimental results clearly show that p-methylstyrene performs distinctively better than styrene and its derivatives, due to the cationic coordination mechanism and spatially opened catalytic site in metallocene catalysts with constrained ligand geometry. A broad composition range of random poly(ethylene-co-p-methylstyrene)copolymers were prepared with narrow molecular weight and composition distributions. With the increase of p-methylstyrene concentration, poly(ethylene-co-p-ethylstyrene)copolymer shows systematical decrease of melting point and crystallinity and increase of glass transition temperature. At above 10 mol % of p-methylstyrene, the crystallinity of copolymer almost completely disappears. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1017-1029, 1998

    Notes: A thermotropic, liquid crystalline copolyester, based on 2-chlorohydroquinone, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and terephthaloyl chloride, has been synthesized and melt spun. The cyclohexanedimethylene moiety acts as a semirigid spacer, introducing flexibility while preserving the thermotropic nature of the polymer. Melt-spun fibers were observed to have a high degree of molecular alignment owing to the nematic nature of the melt. Both polymer and fiber properties have been characterized. Characterization techniques used to this end include elemental analysis, hot-stage polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dilute solution viscometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Three nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)-propionic acid (ibuprofen), 2-(3-benzoylphenyl)-propionic acid (ketoprofen), and 2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-propionic acid (naproxen), were covalently linked with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). The drug-linked HEMA (M1) (ibuprofen-linked HEMA abbreviated as HI; ketoprofen-linked HEMA as HK, and naproxen-linked HEMA as HN), were respectively copolymerized with methacrylic acid (M2), MA, to obtain macromolecular prodrugs. The compositions of the copolymers were determined by means of a 1H-NMR spectroscopy and monomer reactivity ratios were estimated using the Kelen-Tüdös linear differential equation. The reactivity ratios are: r1 = 0.101 ± 0.012, r2 = 1.071 ± 0.065 for HI-MA; r1 = 0.344 ± 0.066, r2 = 0.966 ± 0.032 for HN-MA, and r1 = 0.650 ± 0.182, r2 = 1.032 ± 0.106 for HK-MA, respectively. The monomer reactivity toward to MA radical estimated from 1/r2 values is almost same for all three monomers (1/r2 ∼ 1). The glass transition temperatures of three drug-linked homopolymers go hand in hand with the steric hindrance of three drugs, i.e., ketoprofen 〉 naproxen ≫ ibuprofen calculated the minimum energy by computer molecular modeling. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Liquid chromatography of macromolecules at the critical adsorption point (LC CAP) presents a potentially very powerful method for molecular characterization of complex polymers. However, LC CAP applicability is limited due to various experimental problems. The pore sizes and surface chemistry of the column packings belong to the most important weak points of the method. The LC CAP behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate)s was investigated using bare silica gels of 6, 12, and 100 nm pore sizes and with various amounts of surface silanols. Tetrahydrofuran as the adsorption suppressing liquid and toluene as the adsorption promoting liquid were mixed to form the “nearly critical” eluents. Both pore size and surface chemistry of silica were found to strongly influence the retentive characteristics of the system in the critical adsorption area. Macromolecules that were large enough to be excluded from the packing pores hardly followed the LC CAP rules: their retention volumes changed irregularly with the polymer molar mass and their recovery dropped sharply. The narrow pore silica gel-packed column governed the elution patterns of the whole column set composed of silica gels with different pore sizes. This makes the conventional LC CAP characterization of common polymers with broader molar mass distribution impractical and even not feasible. A hybrid column system was proposed containing narrow pore nonadsorptive column added in series to the meso- and macroporous LC CAP silica gels. This narrow pore column would allow separation of gas, impurities, and system peaks from the polymer peaks. The possible successive changes of the surface of silica gel, e.g., due to formation of silanols by hydrolysis or due to irreversible adsorption of some admixtures from the sample or eluent may make the LC CAP irrepeatable. Pronounced peak broadening was observed in the critical adsorption area and this effect increased strongly with the polymer molar mass. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Two classes of liquid crystalline hyperbranched copolyesters were prepared by the copolycondensation of silylated 3,5-bis(acetoxy)benzoic acid with mixtures of mesogenic difunctional monomers. The first class of LC-copolyesters was obtained from 1 : 1 mixtures (molar ratio) of silylated β-(4-acetoxyphenyl)propionic acid and silylated 4-acetoxybenzoic acid (poly(HPPA/HBA)). The second class of LC-copolyesters was obtained by additional copolycondensation of silylated 6-acetoxy-2-naphthoic acid. The hyperbranched copolyesters of this ternary system poly(HPPA/HBA/HNA) proved to be less crystalline in contrast to the binary system. In both classes of LC-copolyesters the degree of branching was varied via the feed ratio of 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid. A minimum segment length of 6 difunctional monomer units between the branching points is required to establish a nematic phase. However, a greater segment length is needed to obtain a homogeneous LC-phase. The poly(HPPA/HBA) copolyesters were also characterized by melt rheology. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The application of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to the homopolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, a functional monomer, is reported. The polymerizations exhibit first-order kinetics, and molecular weights increase linearly with conversion. Polydispersities remain low throughout the polymerization (Mw/Mn ≈ 1.2). Reactions were conducted in bulk and in 1 : 1 (by volume) aqueous solution; the latter demonstrates the resilience of ATRP to protic media. Analysis of poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) by MALDI-MS and 1H-NMR shows Mn,exp to be much closer to Mn,th than those observed by SEC using polystyrene standards. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Bivalent organolanthanides with unbridged substituted indenyl or fluorenyl ligands (1-SiMe3Ind)2YTHF (I), (9-SiMe3Flu)2YTHF (II), were found to efficiently catalyze the stereoregular polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The microstructure of resultant polymers was shown to be dependent of a conformation that the ligands adopt at the polymerization temperature. The formation of isotactic rich PMMAs from complex II was proposed to be associated with the fluctuation of the 9-trimethylsilylfluorenyls around a C2 symmetric twisted-conformation. The formation of the multi(syndioPMMA-block-iso-PMMA) polymers from the mixture of rac- and meso-isomers of I was rationalized on the basis of competing conjugate addition and inversion of the metallocene conformation. Surprisingly, both rac- and meso-isomers of I were found to operate with similar activity and stereospecifity, although the stereospecific operation of the meso-form was not completely understandable. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Thermoresponsive porous gel membranes were synthesized by a simultaneously occurring process consisting of radiation-induced polymerization and crosslinking in aqueous solutions at various concentrations of acryloyl-L-proline methyl ester(A-ProOMe) without a crosslinker. Permeation of p-nitrophenol (PNP) through a thermoresponsive porous gel membrane obtained at a monomer concentration of 80% (w/w) drastically reduced around 14°C, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of linear poly(A-ProOMe) in water, from 0.60 × 10-3 cm/min at 10°C to no permeation at 18°C, accompanied by changes in both size and shape of pores associated with gel shrinkage. Moreover, it was found that porous gel membranes with a porosity of approximately 60% had a greater PNP permeability constant through porous gel membranes with mutually connected pores obtained at a monomer concentration of 50% (w/w) than individually supported pores obtained at a monomer concentration of 70% (w/w). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Methylene blue sensitized photopolymerization of acrylamide (AM) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) using triethanolamine or the sodium salt of EDTA as a reducing agent has been investigated under the influence of a magnetic field (0-7.3 kG). There was no effect of the magnetic field (MF) on the polymerization of AM and MMA in aqueous medium. However, in the water-methanol mixture (1 : 1) the yield of polymer decreases and the molecular weight increases in both cases under MF. This has been explained on the basis of the triplet mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1509-1513, 1998

    Notes: The precipitation polymerization of commercial divinylbenzene in acetonitrile containing up to 40 vol. % toluene or other cosolvents is shown to produce novel porous monodisperse poly(divinylbenzene) microspheres. These microspheres have diameters between 4 and 7 μm, total pore volumes of up to 0.52 cm3/g, and surface areas of up to 800 m2/g. As no surfactant nor stabilizer was used in the preparation of these particles, their surfaces are free of any such residues. The particles were slurry-packed into stainless steel columns for size exclusion chromatography evaluation, and the results show an exclusion limit at molecular weights of 500 g/mol. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: It was first found that (diisopropylamido)bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)lanthanides (MeC5H4)2LnN(i-Pr)2(THF) (Ln = Yb (1), Er (2), Y (3)) exhibit extremely high catalytic activity in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The reactions can be carried out over a quite broad range of polymerization temperatures from -78 to 40°C. The catalytic activity of the complexes increases with an increase of ionic radii of the metal elements, i.e. Y 〉 Er 〉 Yb. The results of GPC (gel permeation chromatography) indicate that the number-average molecular weights (Mn) of polymers obtained exceed 100 × 103 and the molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) becomes broad with the increase of temperature. Furthermore highly syndiotactic PMMA (87.7%) can be obtained by lowering the reaction temperature to -78°C. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1593-1597, 1998

    Notes: Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride)/silica hybrid material has been successfully prepared from styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of a coupling agent (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) by an in situ sol-gel process. It was observed that the gel time of sol-gel solution was dramatically influenced by the amount of APTES. The hybrid material exhibits optical transparency almost as good as both silica gel and the copolymer. The covalent bonds between organic and inorganic phases were introduced by the aminolysis reaction of the amino group with maleic anhydride units of copolymer to form a copolymer bearing trimethoxysilyl groups, which undergo hydrolytic polycondensation with TEOS. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the glass transition temperature of the hybrid materials increases with increasing of SiO2 composition. Photographs of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) inferred that the size of the inorganic particles in the hybrid materials was less than 20 nm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The influence of different types of low and atmospheric pressure plasma on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been studied in terms of changes in molar mass and molar mass distribution. Apart from a variation of plasma gases (oxygen, helium) different types of plasma (microwave, radio frequency, corona discharge) were used for the plasma surface modification. The changes in molar mass and types of functional end groups of lower molar mass products were investigated by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), whereas the high-molar mass fraction was analyzed by means of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). The formation of crosslinked products during exposure to a helium plasma, which emits preponderately energy-rich and intense ultraviolet radiation, was proved by means of thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF). This method combined with a multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detector allows detection of weakly crosslinked polymers and microgels. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new naphthalene unit-containing bis(ether anhydride), 2,6-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)naphthalene dianhydride, was synthesized in three steps starting from the nucleophilic nitrodisplacement reaction of 2,6-dihydroxynaphthalene and 4-nitrophthalonitrile in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution in the presence of potassium carbonate, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the intermediate bis(ether dinitrile) and subsequent dehydration of the resulting bis(ether diacid). High-molar-mass aromatic poly(ether imide)s were prepared using a conventional two-step polymerization process from the bis(ether anhydride) and various aromatic diamines. The intermediate poly(ether amic acid)s had inherent viscosities of 0.65-2.03 dL/g. The films of poly(ether imide)s derived from two rigid diamines, i.e. p-phenylenediamine and benzidine, crystallized during the thermal imidization process. The other poly(ether imide)s belonged to amorphous materials and could be fabricated into transparent, flexible, and tough films. These aromatic poly(ether imide) films had yield strengths of 104-131 MPa, tensile strengths of 102-153 MPa, elongation to break of 8-87%, and initial moduli of 1.6-3.2 GPa. The glass transition temperatures (Tg's) of poly(ether imide)s were recorded in the range of 220-277°C depending on the nature of the diamine moiety. All polymers were stable up to 500°C, with 10% weight loss being recorded above 550°C in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Two flexible dicarboxylic acid monomers, 4,4′-[isopropylidenebis(1,4-phenylene)dioxy]dibenzoic acid (1) and 4,4′-[hexafluoroisopropylidenebis(1,4-phenylene)-dioxy]dibenzoic acid (3), were synthesized from readily available compounds in two steps in high yields. High molecular-weight polyhydrazides and poly(amide-hydra-zide)s were directly prepared from dicarboxylic acids 1 and 3 with terephthalic dihydrazide (5), isophthalic dihydrazide (6), and p-aminobenzhydrazide (7) by the phosphorylation reaction by means of diphenyl phosphite (DPP) and pyridine in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)/LiCl, or prepared from the diacyl chlorides of 1 and 3 with the hydrazide monomers 5-7 by the low-temperature solution polycondensation in NMP/LiCl. Less favorable results were obtained when using triphenyl phosphite (TPP) instead of DPP in the direct polycondensation reactions. Except for those derived from terephthalic dihydrazide, the resulting polyhydrazides and poly(amide-hydrazide)s could be cast into colorless, flexible, and tough films with good tensile strengths. All the hydrazide polymers and copolymers are amorphous in nature and are readily soluble in various polar solvents such as NMP and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Their Tgs were recorded in the range of 162-198°C and could be thermally cyclodehydrated into the corresponding polyoxadiazoles and poly(amide-oxadiazole)s approximately in the region of 300-380°C, as evidenced by the DSC thermograms. The oxadiazole polymers and copolymers showed a dramatically decreased solubility and higher Tg when compared to their respective hydrazide prepolymers. They exhibited Tgs of 190-216°C and were stable up to 450°C in air or nitrogen. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1847-1854, 1998

    Notes: The synthesis of novel polyisobutylene (PIB)/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) bicomponent networks is described. The synthesis strategy (see Figure 1) was to prepare well-defined and -characterized allyl-tritelechelic polyisobutylenes [φ(PIB - C - C=C)3] and SiH-ditelechelic poly(dimethylsiloxanes) (HSi-PDMS-SiH) and then crosslink these moieties by hydrosilation. The φ(PIB - C - C=C)3 was prepared by living isobutylene polymerization followed by end-quenching with allyltrimethylsilane, whereas the HSi-PDMS-SiH was obtained by equilibrium polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and tetramethyldisiloxane. The detailed structures of the starting polymers were characterized by GPC and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. A series of PIB/PDMS bicomponent networks of varying compositions and average molecular weights between crosslinks (Mc) of ∼ 20,000 g/mol were assembled. Optimum crosslinking conditions were defined in terms of H2PtCl6 catalyst concentration, nature of solvent, time, temperature, and stoichiometry of ∼ CH2CH=CH2/∼SiH groups, allowing for the convenient synthesis of well-defined model bicomponent networks. Swelling studies and elemental analysis confirm the correctness of the synthetic strategy. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1891-1899, 1998

    Notes: The first part of this series concerned the synthesis of novel polyisobutylene (PIB)/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) bicomponent networks; the present paper concerns the structure and property characterization of a series of bicomponent networks of varying compositions (PIB wt %/PDMS wt % = 92/8, 70/30, 50/50, 35/65) having average molecular weights between crosslinks (Mc) of ˜ 20,000 g/mol. According to network structure analysis by uniaxial equilibrium stress-strain measurements, the experimental Mc's are in excellent agreement with theoretical values. Hydrosilation end-linking efficiency was quantitated by the amount of sol and functional group analysis by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. NMR evidence indicates double-bond isomerization during hydrosilation. Network compositions by elemental analysis together with the low sol fractions indicate efficient crosslinking. These data suggest highly efficient network formation and well-defined bicomponent network structures. While PIB and PDMS showed Tg's at -72 and -124°C, respectively, the bicomponent network did not exhibit clearly discernible phase transitions. The heat stability of bicomponent networks increased slightly with increasing PDMS content showing initial (10%) degradation temperatures at ˜ 380°C in nitrogen and ˜ 320°C in air. Tensile strengths and elongations were dependent on composition and varied in the 0.6-3.8 MPa and 600-1100% ranges, respectively. The swelling behavior was not much affected by composition. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1901-1910, 1998

    Notes: In this article we will discuss the synthesis of the new copolymers of norbornene derivatives with an ester group and carbon monoxide, using Pd(CH3CN)4(BF4)2 as a catalyst and 2,2′-bipyridine as a ligand in nitromethane/methanol at 60°C. Elementary analysis, infrared spectra, and NMR spectra indicated that copolymers contain ketone, ester, and bicyclic structures. Methanol functions as the coinitiator and chain transfer agent in copolymerization. A decrease in the molar ratio of [CH3OH]/[Pd] caused an increase in molecular weight and a decrease in yield of the copolymer. The number-average molecular weight of copolymers (Mn) ranged from 3800 to 5300, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) ranged from -32 to 117°C. Thermal analysis revealed that both T10%d and Tmaxd exceeded 180 and 230°C, respectively. Linear long-chain substituents such as n-C11H23C(O)—O—CH2— drastically reduced Tg to a value of -32°C. In general, copolymers having a longer linear side-chain substituents of ester on norbornene have a more desirable solubility. Moreover, X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the degree of crystallinity decreases with an increasing length of side chain substituents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Four series of copoly(ester-imide)s (co-PEIs) were prepared by transesterification of poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, with N-(4-carboxyphenyl)trimellitimide and an acetylated diphenol. Methylhydroquinone, tert. butylhydroquinone, phenylhydroquinone, and 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene were used as diphenols. The chemical structures of these co-PEIs were characterized by chemical analyses, 1H-, and 13C-NMR spectra. A low degree of crystallinity was observed when the PET content was above 85% mol %. Between 60 and 80 mol % PET all co-PEIs are biphasic, whereas below 60 mol % the co-PEIs form a homogeneous nematic melt and below the glass transition temperature (Tg) a nematic glass. The Tgs vary continously with the molar composition but the mechanical properties drop sharply when the nematic phase changes to an isotropic one. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Oxazoline-functionalized, crosslinked PMMA-particles, prepared by free radical nonaqueous dispersion polymerization, were grafted with n-decanoic acid and carboxylic acid-terminated polystyrene. Oxazoline groups, separated by an alkylspacer from the PMMA backbone, showed enhanced mobility with respect to the backbone, as evaluated by solid-state NMR spectroscopy using a dipolar filter. As a function of molecular mass of the carboxylic acid, the oxazoline conversion varied from 70 mol % for n-decanoic acid to 1% for monocarboxylate-terminated polystyrene CT-PS with Mn: 15,900 g/mol. Morphological studies, performed by TEM, showed that reaction with acid terminated polystyrene results exclusively in interfacial grafting at the particle surface. At low grafting levels a raspberry-like morphology was obtained, whereas grafting levels exceeding 14 wt % CT-PS resulted in core-shell morphology. Core-shell morphology was also verified by static light scattering using toluene solvent, which is isorefractive to the PMMA core. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This study examines the legitimacy of using the reaction kinetics of low molecular weight model compounds in solution to predict the chemical kinetics of polymer-bound species in a homogeneous melt. The reaction under study takes place between an aliphatic secondary amine, diisooctadecylamine (DiOA), and a 5-membered anhydride ring, saturated maleic anhydride (MA), forming an amic acid product. The MA species was present as a pendant graft on either a model compound, dodecane-g-(maleic anhydride) (dodecane-g-MA), or a polymer chain, linear low-density polyethylene-g-(maleic anhydride) (LLDPE-g-MA). Pseudo-second-order kinetics of the anhydride consumption are followed by infrared spectroscopy, either in situ in dodecane solution or by scanning frozen film samples taken from a linear low-density polyethylene melt. It was found that the LLDPE-g-MA/DiOA system reacted at a slightly slower rate than the dodecane-g-MA/DiOA system in the low-viscosity solution at 140°C. In the melt, the dodecane-g-MA/DiOA system experienced a small decrease in the overall reaction rate compared to the same reaction carried out in dodecane. However, the LLDPE-g-MA/DiOA system underwent a 65% decrease in the observed second-order rate constant on going from a solution to the melt. To explain these phenomena, the effects of diffusion, miscibility, and chain entanglements in the melt are examined here. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1573-1582, 1998

    Notes: Telechelic oligo(ether-ketone)s containing two trimethylsiloxy end groups and one methyl group per repeating unit were prepared by polycondensation of 4-fluoro-2′-methyl-4′-(trimethylsiloxy)benzophenone. The telechelic character was achieved by cocondensation of a small amount of silylated bisphenol-P. The end groups of the silylated oligo(ether-ketone)s were acetylated by means of acetyl chloride. On the basis of 1H-NMR end group analyses two samples of α,ω-bis(acetoxy) oligo(ether-ketone)s with DP = 14 and DP ∼ 28 were obtained. These oligo(ether-ketone)s and a 70 or 140 fold molar amount of silylated 3,5-bis(acetoxy)benzoic acid were polycondensed at 270°C in bulk. The resulting A-B-A triblock copolymers were fractionated by dissolution in tetrahydrofuran. In three out of four experiments a small fraction of precipitated material rich in oligo(ether-ketone) was isolated. The purified triblock copolymers were characterized by inherent viscosities and NMR spectra. For those samples containing the long oligo(ether-ketone) block a low degree of crystallinity was observed after annealing. Four additional polycondensations were conducted with an initial reaction temperature of 290°C. In this way a completely soluble and amorphous triblock copolymer was obtained. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 31-38, 1998

    Notes: This work is a continuation of the authors' earlier investigations of liquid crystalline epoxy resins prepared from diglycidyl ether of 4,4′-dihydroxybiphenyl (DGE-DHBP), which was used as a mesogenic agent, and aliphatic dicarboxylic compounds, which were used as flexible spacers. In this paper, the synthesis and characterization of liquid crystalline epoxy resins, prepared from DGE-DHBP and difunctional aromatic compounds are described. Three series of liquid crystalline epoxy resins were prepared by chain extension of DGE-DHBP with isomeric hydroxybenzoic and benzenedicarboxylic acids as well as diphenols. An isophthalic-terminated polyether was applied to decrease the temperature of phase transitions. The syntheses were carried out by catalytic polyaddition in the melt. Triphenylphosphine was applied as the catalyst. The resulting epoxy resins were investigated by DSC, polarizing microscope as well as by X-ray and IR spectroscopy. The phase transition temperatures and the type of mesophase of the resulting products depend on the character of the functional groups in the chain extender and on the position of the functional groups in the aromatic ring. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydride having a crank and twisted noncoplannar structure, 2,2′-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)biphenyl dianhydride, was synthesized by the reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with biphenyl-2,2′-diol, followed by hydrolysis and cyclodehydration. The biphenyl-2,2′-diyl-containing aromatic polyimides having inherent viscosities up to 0.66 dL/g were obtained by the conventional two-step procedure starting from the dianhydride monomer and various aromatic diamines. Most of the polyimides were readily soluble in amide-type solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The aromatic polyimides had glass transition temperatures in the range of 205-242°C, and began to lose weight around 415°C, with 10% weight loss being recorded at about 500°C in air. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Preliminary enzymatic polymerization studies in the simple stoichiometric adipic acid/butane-1,4-diol system using lipase B from Candida antarctica, immobilized as Novozym 435®, suggest that in solvent-free conditions a step-growth mechanism operates involving the sequential addition of an AB synthon by esterification mode only. Conversely, in toluene as solvent there is a change to the more facile transesterification mode in line with the conventional polyesterification procedure, pointing to a change in specificity of the lipase. Evidence is drawn from qualitative studies using a series of synthetic intermediates, enabling authentication of product mixtures together with an indication of the comparative reactivity of species along the proposed reaction pathway. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of side chain liquid crystal polyurethanes (CnCNPs), in which the spacer length was varied from 2 to 12 methylene units, were synthesized by the addition polymerization of α-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]-ω-(4-cyanoazobenzene-4′-oxy)alkanes (CnCN-diols) with hexamethylene diisocyanate. The liquid crystalline properties of CnCNPs were characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Polyurethanes with spacer length 4 or higher exhibited mesomophic properties. C4CNP and C5CNP exhibited an enantiotropic nematic mesophase, while C6-C12CNPs exhibited enantiotropic bilayer smectic mesophases. CnCNPs have a high tendency to crystallize; crystallization is kinetically controlled. Polyurethane's backbone crystallization is closely related to hydrogen bonding. To establish the role of hydrogen bonding in mesophase formation as well as crystallization, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies of CnCNPs were carried out at different temperatures focusing on H-bonds between the N—H and C=O groups of the urethane backbone. With increasing temperature, C=O and N—H stretching bands were evenly shifted to higher wavenumbers, with two exceptions (C4CNP and C5CNP) discussed in detail in the text. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The competitive reactions of cyanoisopropyl radicals with the mixed monomers styrene and acrylonitrile have been investigated using the nitroxide radical trapping technique. When the trap concentration is kept low, second, third, and even fourth generation (in terms of successive monomer addition) carbon radicals have been observed as trapped products. The ratio of rate constants for the addition of styrene and acrylonitrile to cyanoisopropyl radicals is 2.7 at 75°C and 5.3 at 105°C. These values are compared with the ratios for reactions of these two monomers with a number of other radicals and discussed in terms of the polarities of the radicals and monomers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: New poly(amide-imide)s were prepared from a diimide-dicarboxylic acid, 1,4-bis(4-trimellitimidophenoxy)-2-tert-butylbenzene (BTTB), with various diamines by the direct polycondensation in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The new diimide-dicarboxylic acid BTTB containing an ether linkage and tert-butyl substituent was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-2-tert-butylbenzene with trimellitic anhydride. All the polymers were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities of 0.62-1.06 dL g-1. The polymers were amorphous, and most of them were readily soluble in aprotic polar solvents such as NMP, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), as well as in less polar solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), m-cresol, pyridine, and γ-butyrolactone, and also even in tetrahydrofuran. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers were determined by DSC method, and they were in the range of 238-279°C. These polymers were stable up to 408-449°C in air and 451-483°C in nitrogen and lose 10% weight in the range of 479-525°C in air and 480-528°C in nitrogen atmosphere. The polymer films had a tensile strength range of 71-115 MPa, an elongation at break range of 4-14%, and a tensile modulus range of 2.3-3.1 GPa. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym.

    Notes: Novel poly(ether urethanes) containing diester groups in the side chains (PU) were synthesized from 4,4′-diphenylmethyl diisocyanate, polytetramethylene glycol, and diethyl bis(hydroxymethyl)malonate as a chain extender. The surface modification of the PU film was carried out by a hydrolysis reaction, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) grafting, and heparin immobilization, and the surface-modified PUs were then characterized by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and a contact angle goniometer. The concentration of carboxylic acid groups introduced on the PU surfaces as determined by the rhodamine interaction method was 61 nmol/cm2 when treated with 4N NaOH/methanol (1 : 2 v/v) for 30 min and subsequently with a citric acid-methanolic aqueous solution. The amounts of heparin coupled to the carboxyl groups on the PU surfaces and to the terminus amino groups on the PU-PEO were 0.92 and 0.84 μ g/cm2, respectively. There was almost no heparin released from the immobilized surface of a physiological solution for 100 h, thereby indicating the strong stability of immobilized heparin. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The polymers were easily soluble in various organic solvents and had high glass transition temperatures in the range of 200-240°C. An aromatic polyether having benzopinacolone unit was also prepared. However, its inherent viscosity was low because of the occurrence of a side reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym. Chem. 36: 2229-2235, 1998

    Notes: Composite membranes were prepared by plasma-induced graft polymerization of vinyl monomers onto porous substrates of high density polyethylene, and the relationship between the polymerization conditions and morphological structure and pervaporation performance toward benzene/cyclohexane mixtures was investigated in detail. The morphological structures of the plasma-grafted membranes depended on the monomer reactivity, plasma treatment manner, and graft polymerization conditions. Pervaporation properties were closely related to the graft monomers and the morphological structures. The poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-grafted membranes prepared by homogeneous both sides plasma treatment and under mild polymerization conditions showed the highest pervaporation performance with a permeation flux of 0.3 kg/(m2 h) and separation factor of 22 at 60 wt % benzene and 70°C. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Both the rac- and meso-dinuclear ansa-zirconocene catalysts (μ-C12H8{[SiPh(Ind)2]ZrCl2}2) were prepared by a coupling reaction between 2 equiv of diindenylphenylchlorosilane (rac- and meso-isomers) and 1 equiv of p-dilithiobiphenyl in diethyl ether at -80°C, followed by a successive reaction with ZrCl4 · 2THF in THF at -78°C. Polymerizations of ethene and propene were conducted in a 1 dm3 high-pressure glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer at 60, 80, 100, 120, and 150°C using methylalumoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst and toluene or decahydronaphthalene as the solvent. Copolymerization of ethene and 1-octene was also checked in brief. For ethene polymerization, the meso-catalyst was found to be more active, which displayed an extremely high activity to give linear polyethene with a high molecular weight and a narrow molar mass distribution (MMD). The apparent activity increased monotonously with rising polymerization temperature from 60°C up to 150°C, indicating that the active species are stable even at a high temperature. On the other hand, both the rac- and meso-catalysts showed very poor activities for propene polymerization. However, copolymerization of ethene and 1-octene proceeded at a high speed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym. Chem. 36: 2269-2274, 1998

    Notes: Conducting poly(o-toluidine) (POT) and poly(m-toluidine) (PMT) blends containing 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90 % wt/wt of polystyrene (PSt) were prepared by employing a two-step emulsion pathway. The bands characteristic of both polystyrene and POT/PMT are present in the IR spectra of POT-PSt and PMT-PSt blends. The UV-visible spectra of POT-PSt and PMT-PSt blends exhibit two bands around 313 and 610 nm, confirming that some amount of POT/PMT base is present in the blends. The EPR parameters such as line width and spin concentration reveal the presence of POT/PMT salt in the respective blends. The TGA, DTA, and DSC results suggest a higher thermal stability for the POT and PMT blends than that for the respective salts. The conductivity values of POT(70)-PSt(30) and POT(90)-PSt(10) blends are almost the same (1.1 × 10-2 and 1.3 × 10-2 S cm-1, respectively) and these values are very close to that of pure POT salt, suggesting that POT can be blended with up to 30% wt/wt of PSt to improve its mechanical properties without a significant drop in its conductivity. The conductivity values of PMT-PSt blends are lower than those of the corresponding POT-PSt blends by two to three orders of magnitude, indicating that POT is a better system than PMT to prepare blends by this method. The dielectric constant and tan δ values of the blends increase with the amount POT/PMT and are greater than that of polystyrene. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym.

    Notes: Poly(methylphenylsiloxane)-poly(methyl methacrylate) graft copolymers (PSXE-g-PMMA) were prepared by condensation reaction of poly(methylphenylsiloxane)-containing epoxy resin (PSXE) with carboxyl-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and they were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), infrared (IR), and 29Si and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The microstructure of the PSXE-g-PMMA graft copolymer was investigated by proton spin-spin relaxation T2 measurements. The thermal stability and apparent activation energy for thermal degradation of these copolymers were studied by thermogravimetry and compared with unmodified PMMA. The incorporation of poly(methylphenylsiloxane) segments in graft copolymers improved thermal stability of PMMA and enhanced the activation energy for thermal degradation of PMMA. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Six amine-linked thioxanthones, i.e., 2-(2-hydroxy-3-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]propoxy)thioxanthone (HAPTX) and its 4-methyl, 1,3-dimethyl, 1,4-dimethyl, 3,4-dimethyl, and 1,3,4-trimethyl substituted derivatives, were synthesized as water-compatible photoinitiators and identified with FTIR, MS, NMR, and elementary analysis. The absorption and fluorescence properties were studied. Their photoinitiating polymerization efficiencies were tested with a recording dilatometer utilizing acrylamide as monomer in aqueous solution. The results show that the six amine-linked thioxanthones can independently initiate acrylamide polymerization efficiently without additional external amines as co-initiators. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ortho-, meta-, and para-phenylenediamines were polymerized using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant and horseradish peroxidase as a catalyst in mixed solvents of 1,4-dioxane and water. The yield of the polymers was strongly dependent on solvent composition, and maximum yields were obtained at 15-30% 1,4-dioxane. The analysis of circular dichroic spectra of the enzyme suggested that enzyme structure was significantly modified at high 1,4-dioxane contents, which may be responsible for the decrease of catalytic activity of the enzyme. On the basis of IR and electronic spectra of the polymers, it was considered that o- and p-phenylenediamine polymers retain disubstituted benzene nuclei, which suggests that the polymerization proceeded mainly via N - N coupling. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Three liquid crystalline N-substituted pyrroles were synthesized from 6-(1-pyrrolyl)hexanol with phenolic derivatives having a mesogenic core of cyclohexylbenzene or biphenyl by Mitsunobu reaction. These pyrroles had two anodic peaks at 1.4 and 1.8 V (vs. SCE). The former was due to an oxidation of the pyrrole moiety and the latter was due to an oxidation of the mesogenic moiety. These pyrrole monomers were polymerized by electrochemical and chemical methods. The potentiostatic method and the chemical method using FeCl3 gave a soluble and fusible polymer, respectively. A polymer having a mesogenic core of cyclohexyl benzene obtained by the chemical method and a polymer having a mesogenic core of biphenylketone obtained by the potentiostatic method had a liquid-crystalline phase. The phase was identified as smectic A by polarizing microscopy and XRD analysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 2691-2698, 1998

    Notes: A new class of polar polysilabutanes with mono- or tri-(oxyethylene)phenyl groups on the silicon atom have been synthesized by anionic polymerization of silacyclobutanes having ω-(t-butyldimethylsilyl-protected) mono- or tri-(oxyethylene)phenyl groups and subsequent deprotection of the silyl groups. The monomers were synthesized by treatment of 1,1-dichlorosilacyclobutane with ω-(t-butyldimethylsilyl-protected) mono- or tri-(oxyethylene)phenyl Grignard reagents. Anionic polymerization of silacyclobutane was performed with butyllithium initiator in THF. t-Butyldimethylsilyl-protecting groups at polymer pendant groups were hydrolyzed with tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride in water-containing THF. The obtained polysilabutanes were soluble in a polar organic solvent such as methanol, and their mass distributions were analysed by matrix-assisted laser-desorption-ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ablation characteristics of silicone insulation were examined in an induced air combustion chamber and by thermogravimetric analysis. The rate of ablation increased with the combustion pressure. Although the flame temperature was less effective in increasing the ablation rate, the ablation rate below 1160 K was much smaller than expected. The decomposition kinetics of the silicone insulation was significantly altered at this temperature range. The stability of the char layer was much higher below approximately 1000 K. Since the lower ablation rate was obtained in higher mass flow rate condition, the heat input from the boundary layer to the insulation surface was decreased at this condition. The expended insulation consisted of a virgin zone, reaction zone, and char layer. These degraded materials were generated at relatively narrow temperature ranges. The char layer maintained a silicone backbone structure even though it experienced severe conditions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 233-239, 1998

    Notes: This study reports that stereospecific polymerization of aromatic acetylenes, e.g., p-methoxyphenylacetylene (pMOPA) and p-ethoxyphenylacetylene (pEOPA)was successfully performed to give polyacetylene selectively bearing cis-transoid forms in high yield when a Rh complex catalyst, [Rh(norbornadiene)Cl]2 was used in the presence of triethylamine as the polymerization solvent together with a detailed characterization of the resulting polymers, before and after compression. Compression of these polymers induced a cis-trans isomerization at room temperature under vacuum even in the solid state. Based on data collected before and after compression it is estimated that the trans conjugated length, (C=C)n, produced as a result of the compression is n = 26 for PpMOPA and n = 40 for PpEOPA polymers, respectively. We further found that g values in the ESR spectra of the pristine polymer were shifted to higher magnetic field by compression, indicating that unpaired electrons called solitons are stabilized in the trans conjugation length as mobile electrons, although in the pristine polymers the unpaired electrons are stabilized in the less conjugated chain, showing large g value, suggesting a magnetic interaction between oxygen in the alkoxy group of phenyl moiety and unpaired electrons in the cis form. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The principle of the electron photoejection technique is explained. This approach leads to the formation of transient spectra of unstable intermediates, allowing their recording and providing their extinction coefficients. Moreover, it permits determination of their electron affinities and the rates of their reactions, whether spontaneous or with some added substrates. Application of this technique to studies of disproportionation of radical anions has been most profitable. It led to the determination of the forward and backward rate constants of disproportionation of a variety of radical anions, and to discovery and quantification of some subtle features of these reactions. The electron photoejection technique provided the data characterizing the electron transfer initiation of anionic polymerization and clarified some of its features. Other opportunities provided by the electron photoejection in studies of electron transfer processes are suggested. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: v-xiii, 1998

    Notes: Homo- and copolymerizations of butadiene (BD) and styrene (St) with rare-earth metal catalysts, including the most active neodymium (Nd)-based catalysts, have been examined, and the cis-1,4 polymerization mechanism was investigated by the diad analysis of copolymers. Polymerization activity of BD was markedly affected not only by the ligands of the catalysts but also by the central rare-earth metals, whereas that of St was mainly affected by the ligands. In the series of Nd-based catalysts [Nd(OCOR)3:R = CF3, CCl3, CHCl2, CH2Cl, CH3], Nd(OCOCCl3)3 gave a maximum polymerization activity of BD, which decreased with increasing or decreasing the pKa value of the ligands. This tendency was different from that for Gd(OCOR)3 catalysts, where the CF3 derivative led to the highest polymerization activity of BD. For the polymerization of St and its copolymerization with BD, the maximum activities were attained at R = CCl3 for both Nd- and Gd-based catalysts. The copolymerization of BD and St with Nd(OCOCCl3)3 catalyst was also carried out at various monomer feed ratios, to evaluate the monomer reactivity ratios as rBD = 5.66 and rSt = 0.86. The cis-1,4 content in BD unit decreased with increasing St content in copolymers. From the diad analysis of copolymers, it was indicated that Nd(OCOCCl3)3 catalyst controls the cis-1,4 structure of the BD unit by a back-biting coordination of the penultimate BD unit. Furthermore, the long range coordination of polymer chain by the neodymium catalyst was suggested to assist the cis-1,4 polymerization. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polysulfonates with reactive pendant chloromethyl groups were synthesized by polyadditions of bisepoxides with disulfonyl chlorides. The polyaddition of bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BPGE) with m-benzene disulfonyl chloride (m-BDSC) occurred in anisole without any catalyst at 130°C for 24 h. However, polymer with high molecular weight was not obtained. On the other hand, the polyadditions of BPGE with m-BDSC proceeded very smoothly with high yield (81-91%) to give polymers with relatively high molecular weights in anisole at 130°C for 24 h when quaternary phosphonium salts were used as catalysts. The polyaddition was also enhanced by the addition of certain crown ether complexes. However, the catalytic activity of these compounds was less than those of quaternary phosphonium salts. Furthermore, polyadditions of certain bisepoxides with disulfonyl chlorides were also carried out to produce the corresponding polymers under the same reaction conditions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ring-opening reactions of 1,3-dioxepan-2-one (1) and 1,3-dioxan-2-one (2) with several alcohols were examined. The reactions proceeded without trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in low conversions, while they proceeded smoothly with TFA to afford the ring-opened adducts and oligomers. Ring-opening polymerizations of 1 and 2 were also carried out by alcohol-acid catalysts to afford the corresponding polycarbonates (Mn = 2500-6800). The molecular weights increased with increase of the conversions of 1 and 2. The observed polymerization rates of 1 and 2 were determined as 24.4 × 10-6 and 0.8 × 10-6 s-1, respectively. Mechanistic aspects were studied by NMR spectroscopy. The methylene protons α and β to the carbonate moieties shifted to lower fields in 0.06-0.11 ppm in the 1H-NMR spectra by the addition of TFA. Downfield shifts of the carbonyl carbon signals of 1 and 2 were observed in 3.94-4.15 ppm in the 13C-NMR spectra. These results strongly suggest that the cyclic carbonates are activated by TFA. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym. Chem. 36: 2463-2471, 1998

The n-alkoxy insertion promotes the processability of the material by lowering the melting temperature. All polymers show the nematic phase at about 300°C, almost independently of the length of lateral substituent. The isotropization is not observed up to 450°C, where thermal decomposition occurs. The temperature of glass transition decreases with increasing n, ranging from 170°C (n = 5) to 220°C (n = 1). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 263-267, 1998

    Notes: Radical polymerization of 2-, 3-, and 4-methylstyrenes (MeSts) was investigated with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator, in the presence of 4-methoxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (MTEMPO). The polymerization was performed in bulk for 3.5 h at 95°C, and then continued for a defined time at 125°C, to give the corresponding poly(MeSt)s with narrow polydispersity in high yield. It was found that the polymerization proceeded in accordance with a living mechanism, because the molecular weight of the resulting polymers was proportional to the conversion, and to the reciprocal of the initial concentration of MTEMPO. It was found that steric hindrance between the methyl group of 2-MeSt, and the tetramethyl ones of MTEMPO, significantly contributed to the rate of polymerization, and to the stability of the growing polymer chain end. The stability decreased in the order of 2- 〉 3- 〉 4-MeSt, by occurrence of decomposition, which was caused by disproportionation of the growing chain end. However, the steric hindrance had no effect on the tacticity of the resulting polymer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36, 269-276, 1998

    Notes: Poly(benzobisoxazoles) (PBOs), poly(benzobisthiazoles) (PBTs) and copolymers thereof containing the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane moiety have been prepared and studied. The homopolymers were synthesized by the polycondensation of 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid with 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol dihydrochloride or 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol dihydrochloride in poly(phosphoric acid). Random and block copolymers (PBO-PBT) were also prepared. The polymers were characterized by solubility, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy (infrared and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance), and thermal analysis such as differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed thermal stability of the polymers above 375°C in air and under argon atmosphere. The polymers exhibited high resistance to organic and inorganic solvents. The polymers were converted to the more stable aromatic polymers via dehydration and retro Diels-Alder reactions of the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octyl moiety by pyrolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have synthesized two classes of polyureas with mono- and bisazoaromatic groups in their main chains via reactions between isophorone diisocyanate and the corresponding diamines. Holographic gratings were fabricated on azoaromatic polyurea films prepared by spin-coating from solutions. The effect of high glass transition temperature and dipole moment of azo groups on the formation of gratings was investigated. Although the two polymers have relatively high glass transition temperatures (197 and 236°C), chromophore alignment was induced by laser beam irradiation at modest light intensities. Regularly spaced surface relief gratings on the polymer film were also recorded upon exposure to an interference pattern of two polarized argon laser beams. Erasure could be achieved by heating above Tg or by exposure to one of the beams in a manner similar to low-Tg side-chain azo polymers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Aromatic polyimides with side chain nonlinear optical chromophores have been investigated through a facile two-step synthetic route. First, various poly(hydroxy imide)s have been synthesized by direct thermal imidization of diaminophenol dihydrochloride salt and aromatic dianhydride monomers. The resulting polyimides bearing phenolic hydroxy groups were found to react easily with the terminal hydroxy group on the chromophores via the Mitsunobu condensation to give corresponding polyimides with high optical nonlinearities and good solubility in common organic solvents. Detailed physical properties showed that these polyimides have a molecular weight (Mw) of 31,000 and high glass transition temperature above 220°C, ensuring a long-term alignment stability at elevated temperature. The electrooptic coefficients, r33, of the electrically poled polymer films were in the range 1.8-7.6 pm/V at 1.3 μm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 301-307, 1998

    Notes: The grafting of polystyrene with controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution onto the carbon black surface through the trapping of polymer radicals formed by the thermal dissociation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-terminated polystyrene (PSt-TEMPO) by the carbon black surface was investigated. PSt-TEMPO was prepared by living radical polymerization of St with the benzoyl peroxide/TEMPO system. When PSt having no terminal TEMPO moiety was heated with carbon black, no grafting of PSt onto the surface was observed. On the contrary, by the heating of PSt-TEMPO with carbon black in m-xylene at 125°C, PSt with controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution was grafted onto the surface: the percentage grafting of PSt (Mn = 3.2 × 103;Mw/Mn = 1.07) onto furnace black was determined to be 16.0%. On the basis of the above results, it is concluded that PSt radicals formed by the thermal dissociation of the C—ON bond between PSt and TEMPO are trapped by polycondensed aromatic rings of carbon black. The mole number of grafted PSt chains on the carbon black surface decreased with increasing molecular weight of PSt-TEMPO. PSt-grafted carbon black gave a stable colloidal dispersion in THF. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 3165-3172, 1998

    Notes: The Ti(BFA)2Cl2/MgCl2-Al(C2H5)3 catalyst (BFA = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione) modified by DIPDMS (diisopropyldimethoxysilane), which had been proved to yield an extremely high isotactic polypropene in high selectivity, was tested for the copolymerization of ethene with propene. The analysis of resulting copolymers by CFC (cross fractionation chromatography) indicated the formation of a small quantity of ethene-rich copolymers as a byproduct, suggesting that the catalyst possesses not only Ti(III) species but a small portion of Ti(II) species. Whereas, the same catalyst without being modified by an external donor selectively yielded propene-rich random copolymers resulting from Ti(III) species in high yields. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a very useful monomer as it bears an epoxy group which is capable of reacting with various other functional groups. However, its melt free radical grafting reactivity onto a polymer backbone is low. In this study, we show that the use of styrene (St) as a comonomer greatly promotes both GMA's grafting yield and grafting rate onto polyethylene (PE). It is proposed that, in the presence of St, the dominant mechanism of the free radical grafting of GMA onto PE is that St reacts first with PE secondary macroradicals and the resulting styryl macroradicals then copolymerize with GMA leading to grafted GMA. We also show that the contribution of St is not related to an improved solubility of GMA in the molten PE. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 2763-2774, 1998

    Notes: Living ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone initiated from the numerous chain-end hydroxymethyl groups of the analogous dendrimeric and hyperbranched polyesters derived from 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid is described. By controlling the size of the dendritic macromolecule and the molar ratio of ε-caprolactone, a variety of highly branched radial block copolymers are obtained. Comparison of the results obtained for the dendrimeric and hyperbranched initiators demonstrates that the reactivity of the chain-end hydroxymethyl groups in the dendrimer are significantly greater than in the isomeric hyperbranched case. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The low-temperature polycondensation of trans-azobenzene-4,4′-dicarbonyl chloride with (S)-(-)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine and/or 1,4-bis(3-aminophenoxy-4′-benzoyl)benzene afforded a new series of poly(aryl ether ketone amide)s with both fixed and photoinducible kinking elements positioned randomly along the main chain. In their lower energy, trans-azobenzene configurations, the orange, film-forming materials were amorphous, highly tractable, and thermally stable under air or nitrogen up to about 420°C. Variants endowed with higher loadings of the bent binaphthyl monomer were soluble in a variety of organic solvent media including THF and acetone. The introduction of cis-azobenzene backbone kinks into these materials was carried out by irradiating the polymer solutions with near-UV light. Up to 70% of the azobenzene moieties in these polymers were capable of assuming the higher energy cis-configuration, thus greatly increasing the number of bent or kinked sites positioned along each polymer backbone. In solution, reverse cis → trans isomerization reactions were triggered thermally and were quantitatively tracked by both optical absorbance and 1H NMR spectroscopies. Activation parameters calculated for cis → trans reorganization of the polymer backbone were not dependent upon the chemical composition or molecular weight of the polymers but did exhibit a small dependence upon the nature of the solvent medium used to conduct the isomerization experiment. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Crosslinkable fluorinated poly(arylene ethers) (FPAE-Fn-PEP) with high transparency and high thermal stability have been investigated for low-loss optical waveguide materials. FPAE-Fn-PEP bearing phenyl ethynyl moiety at the polymer chain end were synthesized by the reaction of 4,4′-(hexafluoro-isopropylidene)diphenol with an excess decafluorobiphenyl, followed by the reaction of 4-phenyl ethynyl phenol. The Mns and Mw/Mns of the polymers determined by GPC with polystyrene standard were in the range of 6200 to 19,400 and 1.4 to 2.04, respectively. The resulting polymers were thermally crosslinked at 320°C for 2 h. The cured polymers show good chemical resistance and high thermal stability up to 510°C under nitrogen. The refractive indices of their films were controlled between 1.495 and 1.530 at 1.55 μm by adjusting molecular weight. A single-mode channel waveguide made of FPAE-F20-PEP was fabricated by conventional photolithography and O2 reactive ion etching (RIE). The propagation loss of the channel waveguide was measured and found to be less than 0.2 dB/cm at 1.55 μm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 2881-2887, 1998

    Notes: Addition reaction of (3-methyl-3-oxetanyl)methyl acetate (MOMA) with bis(4-mercaptophenyl) sulfide (BMPS) was examined in certain organic solvents. When the reaction of MOMA with BMPS was performed without any catalyst in hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at 130°C for 24 h, conversions of the corresponding adduct were 96 and 36%, respectively, which was confirmed by 1H-NMR spectra. On the other hand, when the reaction was carried out using tetraphenylphosphonium bromide (TPPB) as a catalyst under the same conditions, conversions of the adduct were 96 and 81% in HMPA and NMP, respectively. This result shows that although the addition reaction of oxetane compound with aromatic dithiol proceeds without any catalyst in HMPA, the reaction was strongly enhanced by adding TPPB in NMP. On the basis of the above results, polyadditions of bis((3-methyl-3-oxetanyl)methyl) terephthalate (BMOT) and bis((3-ethyl-3-oxetanyl)methyl) terephthalate with BMPS were performed using TPPB as the catalyst in NMP at 130°C for 24 h. As a result, the corresponding high molecular weight polymers 1 (Mn = 22,400) and 2 (Mn = 12,800) with pendant primary hydroxyl groups were obtained in 83 and 89% yields without any gel products, respectively. Furthermore, a low molecular weight oligomer was obtained from the polyaddition of BMOT with aliphatic dithiol, bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene, under the same reaction conditions. The catalytic activity on the polyaddition of BMOT with BMPS was also examined, and it was found that thermally stable TPPB and crown ether complexes at the reaction temperature (130°C) have higher catalytic activity than tetrabutylammonium bromide and tetrabutylphosphonium bromide to produce polymer 1 with high molecular weight. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The polymerization of isodecyl acrylate (ISODAC) in vesicles of sodium di-2-ethylhexyl phosphate (SEHP) loaded with dyes or tyrosine was achieved. The study of the polymerization rate-conversion curve of the monomer confirmed that this polymerization was different from other polymerizations known, as it was proposed previously. Then the entrapment of hydrophilic molecules such as tyrosine or brilliant cresyl blue and lipophilic molecules such as sudan III into the nanoparticles was evaluated and confirmed by different methods. While tyrosine was not retained, brilliant cresyl blue and sudan III were entrapped inside nanoparticles. The size and the polarity of the molecules to be encapsulated, which are related to their diffusion coefficients and partition coefficients between water and the nanoparticle, seem to be the parameters responsible of the entrapment. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The two catalytic systems are able to act jointly, providing individual polymers with different melting and crystallization temperatures. Compatibility between the components of the mixed-catalytic systems and the influence of the components on the polymerization process and on the properties of the reactor blends were studied.

    Notes: Crosslinkable interpolymer complexes of novolac resin and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were prepared by mutual mixing ethanol solutions of novolac and PEO. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) studies revealed that the driving force for the formation of novolac/PEO complex is hydrogen bonding interaction between the hydroxyl groups of novolac and the ether oxygens of PEO. The morphology and thermal properties of the complexes before and after curing were investigated by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the uncured novolac/PEO complexes had a single composition-dependent glass transition temperature (Tg). The curing with 15 wt % hexamine (HMTA) (relative to novolac content) resulted in disappearing of Tg behaviour for both the neat novolac and the novolac-rich complexes, owing to less mobility of the novolac chain segments. The melting temperature (Tm) and crystallization rate of the HMTA-cured novolac/PEO complexes decreased with increasing novolac content, and no Tm was observed for the cured complexes with PEO content less than 50%. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: 4-Hydroxy-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid/6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid copolymers (FHBA/HNA copolymer) with different copolymer compositions were prepared and the influence of FHBA residue on the thermal properties and structures of the copolymers were investigated. Introduction of FHBA decreased the crystal/nematic phase transition temperatures(TCNs) of the FHBA/HNA copolymers. TCNs of the copolymers were in the temperature range between 200 and 250°C, depending on the copolymer composition. They are approximately 40°C lower than those of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid/HNA copolymers. FHBA/HNA copolymers exhibited low crystallinity, and annealing treatment hardly influenced the crystalline natures. FHBA residue possibly interferes with the recrystallization during annealing. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 413-419, 1998

    Notes: Poly(siloxane)s with bisindenyl, bisfluorenyl, bis(1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl), bis(2,4,7-trimethylindenyl) and monoindenylmethyl side groups were synthesized by condensation of the corresponding dichlorosilanes and water. For reference, diphenylsilanediol or hydroquinone was also employed in place of water. A series of poly(siloxane)-supported zirconocene catalysts were then prepared from these precursors and applied to ethene and propene polymerizations as well as to the copolymerization of ethene with 1-octene in the presence of methylalumoxane. The polymerization activity of the new supported metallocenes depends drastically upon the substituents in the siloxane backbone. The zirconocene catalysts supported on poly(bisindenylsiloxane) and poly(bisfluorenylsiloxane) give the highest activities for ethene and propene polymerizations, respectively. The weight-average molecular weights of the polymers are also markedly dependent upon the substituents. On the other hand, the molecular mass distributions (MMD) are generally not so sharp, suggesting that the active species formed in these supported catalysts are not uniform. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE) with acetic acid (CH3COOH)/tin tetrahalide (SnX4: X = Cl, Br, I) initiating systems in toluene solvent at 0°C was investigated, and the reaction conditions for living polymerization of IBVE with the new initiating systems were established. Among these tin tetrahalides, SnBr4 was found to be the most suitable Lewis acid to obtain living poly(IBVE) with a narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD). The polymerization with the CH3COOH/SnBr4 system, however, was accompanied with the formation of a small amount of another polymer fraction of very broad MWD, probably due to the occurrence of an uncontrolled initiation by SnBr4 coupled with protonic impurity. Addition of 1,4-dioxane (1-1.25 vol %) or 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine (0.1-0.6mM) to the polymerization mixture completely eliminated the uncontrolled polymer to give only the living polymer with very narrow MWD (Mw/Mn ≤ 1.1; Mw, weight-average molecular weight; Mn, number-average molecular weight). The Mn of the polymers increased in direct proportion to monomer conversion, continued to increase upon sequential addition of a fresh monomer feed, and was in good agreement with the calculated values assuming that one CH3COOH molecule formed one polymer chain. Along with these results, kinetic study and direct 1H-NMR observation of the living polymerization indicated that CH3COOH and SnBr4 act as so-called “initiator” and “activator”, respectively, and the living polymerization proceeds via an activation of the acetate dormant species. The basic additives such as 1,4-dioxane and 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine would serve mainly as a “suppressor” of the uncontrolled initiation by SnBr4. The polymers produced after quenching the living polymerization with methanol possessed the acetate dormant terminal and they induced living polymerization of IBVE in conjunction with SnBr4 in the presence of 1,4-dioxane. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of new high molecular weight poly(arylene ether)s containing the 1,2-dihydro-4-phenyl(2H)phthalazinone moiety have been synthesized. The inherent viscosities of these polymers are in the range of 0.33-0.64 dL/g. They are amorphous and readily soluble in chloroform, DMF, and DMAc. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers range from 241 to 320°C and the 5% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen atmosphere range from 473 to 517°C. The hydroxy group in the monomer 1,2-dihydro-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)(2H)phthalazin-1-one has been selectively transformed into the N,N′-dimethylthiocarbamate group, which was then rearranged to give the S-(N,N′-dimethylcarbamate) group via the Newman-Kwart rearrangement reaction. A series of poly(arylene thioether)s containing the 1,2-dihydro-4-phenyl(2H)phthalazinone moiety have also been synthesized via two types of reactions, a N—C coupling reaction and a one-pot reaction between the S-(N,N′-dimethylcarbamate) and activated dihalo compounds, in diphenyl sulfone in the presence of a cesium carbonate and calcium carbonate mixture. These poly(arylene thioether)s also have high glass transition temperatures (ranging from 217-303°C) and high thermal stabilities. Compared with their poly(ether) analogs, the poly(arylene thioether)s have glass transition temperatures several degrees lower, which is attributed to the more flexible C—S—C bonds. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: New classes of copolymers, poly[oxy(chloromethyl)ethylene]/poly[oxy-((alkylthio)methyl)ethylene] copolymers (CE-ATEs), poly[oxy((alkylthio)methyl)-ethylene]s (ATEs), poly[oxy(chloromethyl)ethylene]/poly[oxy((alkylsulfonyl)meth-yl)ethylene] copolymers (CE-ASEs), and poly[oxy((alkylsulfonyl)methyl)ethylene]s (ASEs) have been made for the first time. The thioether-containing polymers (CE-ATEs and ATEs) were synthesized by reacting poly[oxy(chloromethyl)ethylene] (CE, poly(epichlorohydrin)) with different amounts of sodium alkanethiolates. The sulfone-containing polymers (CE-ASEs and ASEs) were synthesized by oxidizing the CE-ATEs and ATEs using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The Fox equation, a linear relationship, fit the Tg/composition data for most CE-ATEs. The Tg's of the CE-ASEs showed positive deviations from those calculated using the Fox equation. The Johnston equation, in which steric and/or polar interactions between dissimilar monomeric units are considered by using TgAB (the Tg of the AB or BA dyad), fit the Tg/composition data for all copolymers in this study. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Two-component simultaneous interpenetrating networks (IPN) of thepoly(4′-[[2-(methylacryloxy)ethyl]ethylamino]-4-nitroazobenzene-co-methyl meth-acrylate) (PDR1MA-co-MMA)/poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) system, the PDR1MA/PPO system and 4′-[[2-(acetoxy)ethyl]ethylamino]-4-nitroazo benzene (ACDR1) doped MMA/PPO system were synthesized and characterized. As studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) the full IPNs of the PDR1MA-co-MMA/PPO system and the PDR1MA/PPO system showed a single Tg varying with the PPO composition. A single-phase morphology of the full IPNs was also indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Transparent films were cast onto clean microscopic glass slides and poled at 190°C for 1 h. The UV-VIS absorption spectra of the three IPN systems before and after curing and corona poling showed a shift in the maximum absorption due to the induced alignment of the nonlinear optical chromophores in the IPN systems. The absorption intensity of the full IPNs remained same after heating at 120°C for 72 h, indicating that the electric field-induced alignment is stable in the full IPN materials. Preliminary second harmonic generation (SHG) data on these IPNs are presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 553-561, 1998

    Notes: The concentration of active centers of a high-activity magnesium chloride-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst has been determined using three different methods. The initial active center concentration has been determined by quenching the reaction slurry with MeOT. To determine the concentration of the propagation species along the course of the polymerization the radio-tagging agent, 14CO, and the tagging agent, CS2, were used. CS2, was also investigated as a tagging agent of the growing chains, in a metallocene catalyst system. The results obtained were compared to obtain some insight about the reliability of each method and the kind of information each method can provide. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) was graft copolymerized on poly[(trimethylsilyl)propyne] (PTMSP) by single electron reduction of PTMSP with potassium naphthalenide (K-Naph), followed by anion polymerization of DMAA from the carbanion formed in the reduction. A hard and practically non-water-swelling PTMSP-gr-poly(DMAA) was obtained under the conditions using controlled amount of K-Naph and DMAA. The graft copolymer was characterized with regard to structure, number-averaged molecular weight, and the amount of grafting poly(DMAA) determined by the relative absorbance of the IR absorption band assigned to the C=O and SiC—H functionalities (AC=O/ASiC—H). The oxygen permeability and water contact angle (θ) of the graft copolymer were evaluated while varying the amount of grafting poly(DMAA). The graft copolymer proved to be highly oxygen permeable (165 Barrers) and hydrophilic (θ = 27°). Its transparency was also elucidated with UV-vis spectra. This graft copolymer was proposed as a promising candidate for use as a hard contact lens material. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 603-610, 1998

    Notes: The copolymerization of 2-propenyl isocyanate (1) with trimethylsilyl methacrylate (2) has been investigated. 1 is an electron donor monomer with little tendency to undergo homopolymerization, while 2 is an electron acceptor monomer, capable of free radical homopolymerization. Polymerization to low conversion in benzene gave copolymers with preferential incorporation of 2 and a tendency towards alternating copolymers with increasing amounts of 1 in the feed (1 : 1.13 with a 9 : 1 feed ratio of monomers 1 : 2). The glass transition temperatures of the amorphous polymers are in the range from 100-70°C, with a Tg of poly(trimethylsilyl methacrylate) being 135°C. Desilylation occurs in the presence of water, causing an exothermal reaction above the glass transition temperature probably with formation of amides, a reaction that can be used for crosslinking. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Methyl methacrylate (MMA) plasmas and plasma-polymerized methyl methacrylate (PPMMA) films were studied in situ with FTIR and FTIR/ATR (attenuated total reflection) in an r.f. capacitively coupled glow discharge. A statistically designed experiment was conducted by varying the r.f. power, process pressure, and MMA flow rate. MMA plasma fragments were identified from the gas-phase FTIR measurements. They include the intermediate species such as dimethylketene, formaldehyde, allene, and propene; small hydrocarbons such as acetylene, methane, and ethylene; and oxygenates such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methanol. Statistical analysis techniques (correlation analysis, analysis of variance and regression analysis) were used on both gas and film data. Gas-phase reaction mechanisms are proposed, and the relationship between the gas and film data is investigated to understand the film deposition chemistry. The deposition rate is positively correlated to the relative concentrations of MMA fragments which are identified as the major film precursors in the deposition process. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: ABC triblock copolymers of methyl methacrylate (MMA), (dimethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), and tetrahydropyranyl methacrylate (THPMA) consisting of 12 units of each type of monomer were synthesized by group transfer polymerization (GTP). These were the three topological isomers with differentblock sequences: DMAEMA12-THPMA12-MMA12, DMAEMA12-MMA12-THPMA12, and THPMA12-DMAEMA12-MMA12. The molecular weights and molecular weight distributions of the copolymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in tetrahydrofuran, and their number-average degrees of polymerization and copolymer compositions were calculated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). These molecular weights and degrees of polymerization corresponded closely to the values expected from the monomer/initiator ratios. The polydispersities were low as expected for GTP, and ranged from 1.09 to 1.25. The three triblocks were chemically modified by converting the THPMA units to methacrylic acid (MAA) units either by thermolysis or acid hydrolysis. The resulting ABC triblock poly-ampholytes were characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and hydrogen ion titration. Aqueous GPC studies in 1.0M NaCl at pH 8.5 showed that the triblock copolymers form micelles whose size depends on their block sequence. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The radio-frequency plasma polymerization technique was used to polymerize aniline onto polymer substrates including perfluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer. The plasma-polyaniline films were characterized by ultraviolet/visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle measurements. Preliminary conductivity measurements were also carried out. It was demonstrated that the chemical and physical characteristics of the plasma-polymerized poly-aniline films changed significantly with discharge conditions, indicating the possibility for tailoring the structure and properties of the polyaniline films by optimizing the discharge conditions. In particular, the contents of quinoid sequences and aliphatic crosslinking moieties were found to increase with increasing power input and/or discharge duration. By contrast, the number of free radicals trapped in the polyaniline films and their mobility were shown to increase with decreasing the power input and/or discharge duration within the plasma conditions covered in this study. Furthermore, a correlation was found between surface hydrophilicity of the resultant plasma-polyaniline films and the atomic ratio of C to N. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of novel perfluorononenyloxy group containing polyarylates were synthesized by a high-temperature solution condensation of 5-(perfluorononenyloxy)-isophthaloyl chloride (II) with various aromatic diols in o-dichlorobenzene. All the polyarylates were amorphous and readily soluble in many organic solvents such as o-chlorophenol, o-dichlorobenzene, chloroform, and polar aprotic solvents at room temperature or on heating. Transparent, tough, and flexible films of these polymers could be cast from the o-chlorophenol solutions. The polymers having inherent viscosity of 0.61-1.63 dL/g were obtained in quantitative yields. These polymers were thermally quite stable. The glass transition temperatures of these polyarylates were in the range of 219-242°C by DSC and 224-251°C by DMA, and the 10% weight loss temperatures in nitrogen and air were above 415 and 397°C, respectively. Moreover, these polymers maintained good mechanical properties (G′ ∼ 108 Pa) up to 220°C and had lower moisture absorption than common polyarylates. The dielectric constants of these polymers ranged from 3.23 to 3.75. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 645-653, 1998

    Notes: The polymerization kinetics of photocurable compositions based on an epoxyacrylate oligomer and three analogous diacrylate monomers were investigated. The effects of the oligomer-to-monomer ratio, curing conditions, and monomer structure were considered. The polymerization is characterized by a synergistic effect observed in a wide temperature range and occurring for the polymerization rate both in air and Ar and for final conversions in air. The final conversion in Ar is determined by viscosity of a formulation. The presence of a heteroatom (S or O) in the ester group of the reactive diluent is beneficial for the polymerization course, especially in air atmosphere. The best results were obtained for the sulfur-containing monomer. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 665-673, 1998

    Notes: Two chalcone-derivative isomers, 4,4′-diaminochalcone (4DAC) and 3,3′-diaminochalcone (3DAC), were synthesized and used as monomers together with tetracarboxylic dianhydrides to prepare novel photosensitive polyimides that contain a chalcone moiety in the main chain. The polyimides were characterized and their photochemical behavior was investigated as thin films and in solutions with the aid of ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy. Compared with 4DAC-based polyimides, the 3DAC-based polyimides exhibited lower glass transition temperatures and higher photocrosslinking rates of the carbon-carbon double bond as well as higher photosensitivities obtained from the exposure characteristic curves, suggesting that an increase in the photoreactivity of the 3DAC-based polyimides might arise from the improved flexibility of their backbones. The polyimide from 3DAC and 6FDA (2,2-bis[3,4-dicarboxypheny]hexa-fluoropropane dianhydride) showed a photosensitivity of 33 mJ/cm2 with a contrast of 1.5 upon light irradiation using a Xenon lamp. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this article, a study on the mechanism of the immobilization of surfactants on polymeric surfaces by means of an argon plasma treatment is described. The unsaturated surfactant sodium 10-undecenoate [C11(:)] and the saturated surfactant sodium dodecanoate (C12) were immobilized on poly(ethylene) (PE), poly(propylene) (PP), and poly(cis-butadiene) (PB) surfaces. This was accomplished by treating polymeric substrates that were coated with C11(:) or C12 with an argon plasma. Derivatization X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Static Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SSIMS) showed that during the plasma treatment surfactants were covalently coupled to the polymeric surfaces. The chemical structure of both the surfactant and the polymeric substrate influenced the immobilization efficiency. At an optimal treatment time of 5 s, about 28 and 6% of the initial amount of carboxylate groups in the precoated C11(:) and C12 layer, respectively, was retained at the PE surface. The immobilization efficiencies of C11(:) and C12 on PP were about 20 and 9%, respectively. The immobilization efficiency of C11(:) and C12 on PB were both about 7%. The results obtained in this study indicate that the immobilization proceeds via a radical mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1829-1846, 1998

    Notes: The vinyl of the ester group of 2-vinyloxyethyl methacrylate was first selectively reacted with acetic acid to obtain 2-[1-(acetoxy)ethoxy]ethyl methacrylate (2). This protected monomer was subjected to anionic polymerization in tetrahydrofuran at -60°C in the presence of LiCl, using 1,1-diphenylhexyllithium as initiator. The molecular weight of the polymer could thus be controlled and a narrow molecular weight distribution obtained. The protecting group, 1-(acetoxy)ethyl, could be easily eliminated (by quenching the polymerization reaction with methanol and water) to generate poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly(HEMA)). Block copolymers were also prepared by the sequential anionic polymerization of MMA and 2 or styrene and 2. They possess narrow molecular weight distributions, and controlled molecular weights and compositions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1865-1872, 1998

    Notes: The chemical reactions occurring in the thermal treatment of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends have been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and thermogravimetry (TG). Our results suggest that in the melt-mixing of PC/PMMA blends, at 230°C, no exchange reactions occur and that only the depolymerization reaction of PMMA has been observed. In the presence of an ester-exchange catalyst (SnOBu2), an exchange reaction was found to occur at 230°C, but no trace of PC/PMMA graft copolymer has been observed. Instead, an exchange reaction between the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA), generated in the unzipping of PMMA chains, and the carbonate groups of PC has been suggested. This is due to the diffusion of MMA at the interface or even into the PC domains, where it can react with PC producing low molar mass PC oligomers bearing methacrylate and methyl carbonate chain ends and leaving the undecomposed PMMA chains unaffected. The TG curves of PC/PMMA blends prepared by mechanical mixing and by casting from THF show two separated degradation steps corresponding to that of homopolymers. This behavior is different from that of a transparent film of PC/PMMA blend, obtained by solvent casting from DCB/CHCl3, which shows a single degradation step indicating that the degradation rate of PC is increased by the presence of PMMA in the blend. The thermal degradation products obtained by DPMS of this blend consist of methyl methacrylate (MMA), cyclic carbonates arising from the degradation of PMMA and PC, respectively, and a series of open chain bisphenol-A carbonate oligomers with methacrylate and methyl carbonate terminal groups. The presence of the latter compounds suggests a thermally activated exchange reaction occurring above 300°C between MMA and PC. The presence of bisphenol-A carbonate oligomers bearing methyl ether end groups, generated by a thermally activated decarboxylation of the methyl carbonate end groups of PC, has also been observed among the pyrolysis products. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: N-Carbazolylacetylene (CzA) was polymerized in the presence of various transition metal catalysts including WCl6, MoCl5, [Rh(NBD)Cl]2, and Fe(acac)3 to give polymers in good yields. The polymers produced with W catalysts were dark purple solids and soluble in organic solvents such as toluene, chloroform, etc. The highest weight-average molecular weight of poly(CzA) reached about 4 × 104. In the UV-visible spectrum in CHCl3, poly(CzA) exhibited an absorption maximum around 550 nm (εmax = 4.0 × 103 M-1 cm-1) and the cutoff wavelength was 740 nm, showing a large red shift compared with that of poly(phenylacetylene) [poly(PA)]. Poly(CzA) began to lose weight in TGA under air at 310°C, being thermally more stable than poly(PA) and poly[3-(N-carbazolyl)-1-propyne]. Poly(CzA) showed a third-order susceptibility of 18 × 10-12 esu, which was 2 orders larger than that of poly(PA). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. A Polym. Chem. 36: 2489-2492, 1998

    Gel formation in cationic polymerization of divinyl ethers. I. 1,4-Bis(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzene (1998)

    Notes: Polymerization of 1,4-bis(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzene (CH2=C—O—CH2—CH2—O—C6H4—O—CH2CH2—O—C=CH2; 1) was investigated in CH2Cl2 at 0°C with the use of a variety of cationic initiators. SnCl4, SnBr4, AlEtCl2, and BF3OEt2 (strong Lewis acids) and CF3SO3H (a strong protonic acid) yielded crosslinked insoluble polymers immediately after the polymerizations were initiated. The binary initiating systems such as HCl/ZnCl2 and (C6H5O)2P(O)OH/ZnCl2 also produced insoluble poly(1)s. At the low initial concentration of ZnCl2, however, the (C6H5O)2P(O)OH/ZnCl2 system gave the soluble polymers quantitatively, and gelation occurred only when the reaction mixture was stored for a long time after complete consumption of the monomer. The content of the unreacted pendant vinyl ether groups of the soluble polymers decreased with monomer conversion, and almost all the pendant vinyl ether groups were consumed in the soluble polymer obtained at 100% monomer conversion; this may be ascribed to frequent occurrence of intramolecular crosslinking. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Peroxide induced crosslinking and degradation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were experimentally investigated using an on-line electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy technique. The reaction variables included temperature, peroxide type and concentration. A single line ESR spectrum was observed with its peak-to-peak width decreasing during the reaction. The mechanism involved in the reaction was elucidated based on the radical information. The radical concentration versus reaction time profile exhibited two distinct regions: the chemically initiated reaction continued by the thermal initiation. The addition of peroxide induced and significantly enhanced the thermal initiated crosslinking and degradation. The radical concentration data coupled with the extent of dehydrochlorination gave an estimate of the rate constant of polyene propagation. A significant decrease of the rate constant was observed during the reaction. The gel content and swelling ratio were also measured to provide additional information to the reaction process. The initial gelation rate increased with the increase of temperature and/or peroxide concentration. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 851-860, 1998

    Notes: BF3·OEt2-initiated polymerizations of 2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane gave polymers composed of both ring-retained and ring-opened structures. The ring-opening content increased with an increase in polymerization temperature. Poly(4,7-dimethyl-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane) propagated slower during BF3·OEt2-initiated polymerization and had a lower ring-opened content than poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane). The type of acid initiator used also affected the amount of ring opening observed. Stronger acids gave less ring opening. Attempted BF3·OEt2-initiated copolymerizations of these seven-membered ring cyclic ketene acetals with isobutyl vinyl ether at room temperature resulted in formation of the two homopolymers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polymers with amidine groups —NH—CR=N— in the main chain were prepared by acid catalysed melt polycondensation of 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (DAPM) with various orthoesters. The resulting polyamidines were characterized by 1H-, 13C- and 15N-NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TGA) and wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements. The properties of the polyamidines are strongly determined by the substituent R on the amidine group. Some peculiarities of the polyformamidine (R=H) could be attributed to the conformation of the amidine group. Glass transition temperatures varied from 106 to 161°C depending on the substituent R. All polyamidines possessed good thermal stability up to 370°C and, with exception of the polyformamidine, good solubility in common solvents. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
