Polymerization Vinyl Ether

We identified the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers as a high value target to exemplify such a catalyst controlled approach.

Polymerization vinyl ether. Vinyl ethers undergo homopolymerization via a cationic mechanism. Poly vinyl ether s pves feature a polar ether functionality in each repeat unit are derived from an inex. Thienyl chloride initiated living cationic polymerization. A general and efficient access toward terminally functionalized poly vinyl ether s.

Provided is a method for the polymerization of vinyl ethers catalyzed by complexes of a lithium salt and a polyether. Vinyl ethers ch 2 chor r methyl ethyl isobutyl benzyl are very reactive vinyl monomers. 125 the cationic. A preferred complex is a complex of lithium tetrafluoroborate and a glyme.

Shohei ida makoto ouchi mitsuo sawamoto living cationic polymerization of an azide containing vinyl ether toward addressable functionalization of polymers journal of polymer science part a. They are increasingly used in radiation curing systems because of a lower toxicity profile than the commonly used acrylic monomers. Unprecedented controlled radical vinyl polymerization crp of vinyl ethers using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer raft polymerization is reported. This method however is highly sensitive to monomer structure and achieved only 76 m and 64 m in the case of n butyl bve.

124 the fast living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with sncl 4 combined with etalcl 2 in the presence of an ester as an added base was reported. In order to overcome the challenge of direct radical polymerization of vinyl ethers commercial hydroxy functional vinyl ethers such as 2 hydroxyethyl vinyl ether heve were subjected to free radical polymerization generating. Poly vinyl ether s with a t g as high as 100 c have been obtained in the living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers with a bulky tricyclodecane or tricyclodecene unit using hcl zncl 2 in toluene at 30 c. Studied systems are based on i 2 hi and on zinc halides zinc chloride zinc bromide and zinc iodide.

Vinyl ethers undergo radical initiated copolymerization in the presence of specific monomers such as maleates fumarates and acrylics. For example the state of the art method uses a phenoxide ligated titanium complex to achieve 92 meso diads m in the polymerization of iso butyl vinyl ether ibve.

The resulting polymers are produced under mild and controlled conditions and are useful in adhesives and coatings as well as in other uses such as for polymer electrolytes in batteries and for viscosity. That mediates the facial addition of polar vinyl monomers to an ionic chain end.
