Cationic coordination polymerization copolymerization

One of the major advantages of radical polymerization over most other forms of polymerization, (anionic, cationic, coordination) is that statistical copolymers can be prepared from a very wide range of monomer types that can contain various unprotected functionalities. Radical copolymerization and the factors that influence copolymer structure have been discussed in Chapter 7. Copolymerization of macromonomers by NMP, ATRP and RAFT is discussed in Section 9.10.1. [Pg.525]

A macromonomer is a macromolecule with a reactive end group that can be homopolymerized or copolymerized with a small monomer by cationic, anionic, free-radical, or coordination polymerization (macromonomers for step-growth polymerization will not be considered here). The resulting species may be a star-like polymer (homopolymerization of the macromonomer), a comblike polymer (copolymerization with the same monomer), or a graft polymer (copolymerization with a different monomer) in which the branches are the macromonomer chains. [Pg.48]

Most data were obtained from copolymerization studies. The copolymerization parameter r (see Chap. 5, Sect. 5.2) is the rate constant ratio for the addition of two different monomers to the same active centre. The inverse values of r j determined for the copolymerization of a series of monomers with the monomer M, define the relative reactivities of these monomers with the active centre from the first monomer, M°,. Thus it is possible to order monomers according to their reactivities in radical, anionic, cationic and coordination polymerizations from the tabulated values of copolymerization parameters [101-103]. [Pg.50]

Kinetic aspects of step-growth copolymerization have been examined in Section 10.2.2. The principal features of chain-growth copolymerization are very different, but are alike for all types of chain growth, that is, for free-radical, anionic, cationic, and coordination polymerization. [Pg.340]

Suzuki and Suga reported the use of clays as solid acids to support and activate metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerization. They were able to use much less alkylaluminmn cocatalyst relative to solution polymerization conditions. The clays were slurried with AlMeg in toluene, then treated with a solution containing zirconocene dichloride, II, and AIMeg. The metallocenium cation was presumed formed via abstraction of chloride and/or methyl ligands by acidic sites on the surface of the clay, and the low basicity of the clay smface was proposed to stabilize the coordinatively unsaturated cation. Propylene was copolymerized with 250 psi ethylene at 70°C. For acid-treated KIO montmorillonite, an activity of 3300 X 10 kg polymer/(g Zr h) was obtained. Catalysts based on vermiculite, kaolin, and synthetic hectorite all showed lower but still appreciable activities. In this brief report, the Al/Zr ratio was not specified, and the clay dispersion was not reported. [Pg.135]

Recently, Baird and co-workers have reported (75) examples of polymerizations by a simple mono-Cp titanium complex, (C5(CH3)5)Ti(CH3)3 activated with a Lewis acid (B(C6F5)3) that not only copolymerizes ethylene and a-olefins but also induces polymerization of monomers normally associated with cationic polymerization such as isobutylene and vinyl ethers. Shaffer and Ashbaugh foimd (76) that for isobutylene and a-methylstyrene, the metal complex is an initiator rather than a catalyst (if it even participates at all), but that a transition from cationic to coordination polymerization occurs in styrene polymerization as temperature is raised. Even if it merely functions as an initiator, however, these investigations have revealed new polymerization systems based on anions such as [RB(C6F5)3l (R = alkyl, CeFs) that are less prone to side reactions tending to limit the MW and degree of polymerization of monomers like isobutylene at moderate temperatures (T > -80°C). [Pg.4568]

At low temperatures, about -78°C, in triisobutylaluminum/ water-initiated polymerization, which is presumed to be a cationic initiation, an amorphous (elastomeric) polymer is obtained from cis-2,3-epoxybutane, and a crystalline polymer, melting point 100°C, is obtained from the trans-isomer. In a copolymerization of the two isomers, the cis-oxide enters the copolymer at about twice the rate of the trans-isomer. Further, the low-temperature, cationic poly(trans-2,3-epoxybutane) with a crystalline melting point of 100°C was found to consist of diad units with a mesodiisotactic structure, while the crystalline polymer formed by coordinate polymerization of the cis-monomer, melting point 162°C, had diad units that were racemic diisotactic. These results make apparent the importance of the monomer coordination step in polymer chain growth in coordinate polymerizations. [Pg.89]

Copolymerization of styrene with diolefins provides further support that monomer coordinates with the cationic site prior to addition. Korotkov (218) showed that in homopolymerizations styrene is more reactive than butadiene, but in copolymerization the butadiene reacted first at its homopolymerization rate and when it was exhausted the styrene reacted at its homopolymerization rate. This interesting result has been duplicated by Kuntz (245) and analogous results have been obtained by Spirin and coworkers (237) for the styrene-isoprene system. Presumably, the diene complexes more strongly than styrene with the lithium and excludes styrene from the site. That the complex occurs at a cationic site, rather than at the anion or the metal-carbon bond, is indicated by the fact that dienes form more stable complexes than styrene with Lewis acids (246). It should be emphasized that selective monomer coordination is not the only factor influencing reactivities in copolymerizations. Of greatest importance are the relative reactivities of the different polymer anions. The more resonance-stabilized anion is more readily formed and is less reactive for polymerizing the co-monomer. [Pg.550]

In general, acetylenes are more reactive than olefins in a coordination reaction since the former have stronger coordinating ability, while vice versa in an cationic reaction because of the higher stability of carbocations formed from olefins. In the copolymerization of phenylacetylene with styrene by WC16—Ph4Sn, essentially only phenylacetylene polymerizes 86). This result supports the idea that the present polymerization is a sort of coordination reaction. [Pg.145]

A similar inhibition, but not cessation, of polymerization was observed by Brookhart in his work on the copolymerization of ethylene with methyl acrylate that is catalyzed by cationic bisimine-Pd(II) complexes [9]. Here again, the coordination of the oxygen atom of the ester group of acrylate significantly slows down polymerization and leads to lower molecular weight materials (Eq. (3)). [Pg.309]

Similarly, 2-methylpropene (isobutene) is an important monomer. It only polymerizes by a cationic mechanism, and its copolymers with dienes are known as butyl rubber. Higher 1-alkenes (1-butene, 1-hexene, 1-octene) are important copolymerization components [4, 5] they produce tailored branching of some polyethylene types prepared by a coordination mechanism. Longer-chain alkenes (Cjq, C,2, Cj ) are also sometimes used as comonomers... [Pg.28]

Compilations of reactivity ratios for various pairs of monomers in radical polymerization have been provided by Eastmond [131] and Odian [132], The reactivity ratios for pairs of given monomers can be very different for the different types of chain-growth copolymerization radical, anionic, cationic, and coordination copolymerization. Although the copolymer equation is valid for each of them, the copolymer composition can depend strongly on the mode of initiation (see Figure 11.8). [Pg.391]
