Functional controlled radical polymerization

The preparation of polymer brushes by controlled radical polymerization from appropriately functionalized polymer chains, surfaces or particles by a grafting from approach has recently attracted a lot of attention.742 743 The advantages of growing a polymer brush directly on a surface include well-defined grafts, when the polymerization kinetics exhibit living character, and stability due to covalent attachment of the polymer chains to the surface. Most work has used ATRP or NMP, though papers on the use of RAFT polymerization in this context also have begun to appear. [Pg.560]

While in most of the reports on SIP free radical polymerization is utihzed, the restricted synthetic possibihties and lack of control of the polymerization in terms of the achievable variation of the polymer brush architecture limited its use. The alternatives for the preparation of weU-defined brush systems were hving ionic polymerizations. Recently, controlled radical polymerization techniques has been developed and almost immediately apphed in SIP to prepare stracturally weU-de-fined brush systems. This includes living radical polymerization using nitroxide species such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidin-l-oxyl (TEMPO) [285], reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization mainly utilizing dithio-carbamates as iniferters (iniferter describes a molecule that functions as an initiator, chain transfer agent and terminator during polymerization) [286], as well as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were the free radical is formed by a reversible reduction-oxidation process of added metal complexes [287]. All techniques rely on the principle to drastically reduce the number of free radicals by the formation of a dormant species in equilibrium to an active free radical. By this the characteristic side reactions of free radicals are effectively suppressed. [Pg.423]

The same aplies to polymer brushes. The use of SAMs as initiator systems for surface-initiated polymerization results in defined polymer brushes of known composition and morphology. The different polymerization techniques, from free radical to living ionic polymerizations and especially the recently developed controlled radical polymerization allows reproducible synthesis of strictly linear, hy-perbranched, dentritic or cross-linked polymer layer structures on solids. The added flexibility and functionality results in robust grafted supports with higher capacity and improved accessibility of surface functions. The collective and fast response of such layers could be used for the design of polymer-bonded catalytic systems with controllable activity. [Pg.434]

Au NPs protected with a thermo-responsive polymer such as PNIPAM by the covalent grafting to technique with different end-functional PNIPAMs and various ratios between PNIPAM and HAuC14 has been studied. PNIPAM samples were synthesized through either conventional radical polymerization or living/controlled radical polymerization. With this approach, very small and quite monodisperse Au NPs are obtained with diameters ranging from 1.5 to 2.3 nm [94]. [Pg.152]

Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) is an attractive tool, because of the resultant controllability of polymerization, and because of it being a versatile method to synthesize of well-defined polymer hybrids. The three main radical polymerization techniques, ATRP, NMP, and RAFT polymerization, have thus been employed. Other techniques, such as the oxidation of borane groups, have also been studied. In general, using CRP techniques, block copolymers can be synthesized from terminally functionalized PO as PO macroinitiator, and block copolymers can be prepared from functionalized PO produced by the copolymerization of olefins with functional monomers. [Pg.91]

Other functional core moieties include stable TEMPO-based radicals for controlled radical polymerization,342 crown ethers,343 344 hexacyclenes,170 poly-(quarternary ammonium) cations,345 ethylene thio-lates,346,347 calixarenes,348-352 cyclodextrins,178 inorganic clusters,93-95 340 353,354 dichalcogenides,355 and silses-quioxanes.356... [Pg.77]

Protic polar solvents such as alcohols are necessary to solubilize polar functional monomers and their polymers. Due to the robust nature of several catalysts to hydroxyl groups, alcohols can be employed in the metal-catalyzed living or controlled radical polymerization. [Pg.478]

For styrene-based random copolymers, functional groups can be introduced into the polymer chains via copolymerization with functional styrene derivatives, because the electronic effects of the substituents are small in the metal-catalyzed polymerizations in comparison to the ionic counterparts. Random copolymer R-6 is of this category, synthesized from styrene and />acetoxystyrene.372 It can be transformed into styrene// -vinylphenol copolymers by hydrolysis.380 The benzyl acetate and the benzyl ether groups randomly distributed in R-7 and R-8 were transformed into benzyl bromide, which can initiate the controlled radical polymerizations of styrene in the presence of copper catalysts to give graft copolymers.209 Epoxy groups can be introduced, as in R-9, by the copper-catalyzed copolymerizations without loss of epoxy functions, while the nitroxide-mediated systems suffer from side reactions due to the high-temperature reaction.317... [Pg.497]

The combination of sohd phase peptide synthesis with polymer chemistry has proven to be a versatile method for the preparation of polymer-peptide hybrids. Introduction of native ligation methods even allows the synthesis of polymer modified polypeptides and proteins via an entire organic chemistry approach. In the field of polymer chemistry—besides the advances in NCA polymerization, which will be discussed by others and is therefore not part of the scope of this review—controlled radical polymerization has been shown to be a robust technique, capable of creating well-defined biofunctional polymer architectures. Through protein engineering, methods have been estabhshed that enable the construction of tailor-made proteins, which can be functionalized with synthetic polymer chains in a highly defined manner. [Pg.20]

Another approach, which does not make use of either free or controlled radical polymerization, was demonstrated by Parrish et al. [20]. An aliphatic polyester with pendent acetylene groups was prepared via controlled ring-opening polymerization. Polyethylene glycol and the peptide sequence Gly - Arg - Gly - Asp - Ser (GRGDS) were functionalized with an azide moiety, and subsequently clicked to the pendent acetylenes in the... [Pg.22]

Becker et al. [64] functionalized a peptide, based on the protein transduction domain of the HIV protein TAT-1, with an NMP initiator while on the resin. They then used this to polymerize f-butyl acrylate, followed by methyl acrylate, to create a peptide-functionahzed block copolymer. Traditional characterization of this triblock copolymer by gel permeation chromatography and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy was, however, comphcated partly due to solubility problems. Therefore, characterization of this block copolymer was mainly hmited to ll and F NMR and no conclusive evidence on molecular weight distribution and homopolymer contaminants was obtained. Difficulties in control over polymer properties are to be expected, since polymerization off a microgel particle leads to a high concentration of reactive chains and a diffusion-limited access of the deactivator species. The traditional level of control of nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization, or any other type of controlled radical polymerization, will therefore not be straightforward to achieve. [Pg.37]

The first step for the core-first stars is the synthesis of multifunctional initiators. Since it is difficult to prepare initiators that tolerate the conditions of ionic polymerization, mostly the initiators are designed for controlled radical polymerization. Calixarenes [39, 58-61], sugars (glucose, saccharose, or cyclodextrins) [62-68], and silsesquioxane NPs [28, 69] have been employed as cores for various star polymers. For the growth of the arms, mostly controlled radical polymerizations were used. There are only very rare cases of stars made from nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization (NMRP) [70] or reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) techniques [71,72], In the RAFT technique one has to differentiate between approaches where the chain transfer agent is attached by its R- or Z-function. ATRP is the most frequently used technique to build various star polymers [27, 28],... [Pg.6]

The development of controlled radical polymerization (CRP) methods,(1,2) including atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP),(3-6) nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization,(7) and reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization,(8,9) has led to the synthesis of an unprecedented number of novel, previously inaccessible polymeric materials. Well-defined polymers, i.e., polymers with predetermined molecular weight, narrow molecular weight distribution, and high degree of chain end functionalization, prepared by... [Pg.85]

In the past decade, the development of controlled/living radical polymerizations (CRP) has allowed the synthesis of (co)polymers not only with a predetermined degree of polymerization and narrow molecular weight distribution but also with high functionality and desired microstructure. Among the various controlled radical polymerization routes, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) seemed to be the most versatile route because of its... [Pg.171]

Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP) is the most recently developed polymerization technology for the preparation of well defined functional materials. Three recently developed CRP processes are based upon forming a dynamic equilibrium between active and dormant species that provides a slower more controlled chain growth than conventional radical polymerization. Nitroxide Mediated Polymerization (NMP), Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and Reversible Addition Fragmentation Transfer (RAFT) have been developed, and improved, over the past two decades, to provide control over radical polymerization processes. This chapter discusses the patents issued on ATRP initiation procedures, new functional materials prepared by CRP, and discusses recent improvements in all three CRP processes. However the ultimate measure of success for any CRP system is the preparation of conunercially viable products using acceptable economical manufacturing procedures. [Pg.385]

Controlled Radical Polymerization (CRP) is the most recently developed polymerization technology that can be applied to the preparation of well defined (see below) functional materials. The most broadly utihzed CRP processes are based on formation of an equihbrium between active and dormant species. This equilibrium provides a slower, more uniform chain growth than conventional... [Pg.385]
