Interfacial Poly condensations

In this study, polyesters [XII] having syringyl-type biphenyl units were synthesized from 4,4 -dihydroxy-3,3, 5,5 -tetramethoxybiphenyl (XI) which was prepared from 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (11). As shown in Scheme 6, poly esterification of XI with terephthaloyl, isophthaloyl and sebacoyl chloride were carried out by the low temperature solution polycondensation and by the interfacial polycondensation. The polyterephthalate with jjinh = 1.42 dl/g was obtained by the interfacial poly condensation. The polyisophtha-late with f7 nh = 0.73 dl/g and the polysebacate with Jj nh = 0.43 dl/g were obtained by the low temperature solution polycondensation.

Interfacial and solution polycondensations are commercially important. For example, an unstirred interfacial poly condensation reaction is utilized in the production of polyamide fibers. Another important application of interfacial polycondensation is the enhancement of shrink resistance of wool. The wool is immersed first in a solution containing one of the reactants and subsequently in another solution containing the other reactant. The polymer resulting from the interfacial reaction coats the wool and improves its surface properties. 

However, the majority of polyesters was prepared using the latter reaction, that is, by interfacial poly condensation. Usually, this reaction is carried out at room temperature in a solvent mixture consisting of water and an immiscible organic solvent such as, for example, tetrachloroethane, chloroform, or...

Interfacial poly condensations for the synthesis of polyphosphonates by reaction of phosphonyl dichlorides with diols can be very rapid and, imder favorable conditions, give high molecular weights (99,100). 

The organic phase, which contains the diphenyl carbonate, is separated the solvent is stripped off and the diphenyl carbonate is purified by distillation. The reaction is accelerated by tertiary amines and is analogous to the interfacial poly condensation of 2,2-bis(4 -hydroxyphenyl)propane and phosgene des-scribed in Section 10.7.3.1. Diphenyl carbonate is a white crystalline solid. 

Laubriet et al. [Ill] modelled the final stage of poly condensation by using the set of reactions and kinetic parameters published by Ravindranath and Mashelkar [112], They used a mass-transfer term in the material balances for EG, water and DEG adapted from film theory J = 0MMg — c ), with c being the interfacial equilibrium concentration of the volatile species i. 

Bis(hydroxymethyl) furan and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (available from C6 sugars) have been oxidized to furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (44)- Linear polyesters, polyurethanes, and polyamides containing these monomers have been described in the literature (45-43) and have been made via condensation polymerization techniques including bulk, solution, and interfacial mixing procedures. Gandini (5,34) reviewed the poly condensation reactions up to 1986 and... 

As with interfacial polycondensation an acid-acceptor is necessary to neutralize the hydrochloric acid formed in the reaction. These low-temperature poly condensation reactions are irreversible, and the acid-acceptor is necessary only to keep the reacting diamine free for reaction with the acid chloride. iV,iV-Dimethylacetamide and related solvents are often employed. Ar,A-Dimethylformamide cannot be used as it reacts with the acid chloride, and only low-molecular-weight polymer results. These amide solvents form loose complexes with the hydrochloric acid produced during the polymerization, and no additional acid-acceptor is needed. However, the final solutions are usually neutralized to minimize corrosion of metallic equipment during later steps such as spinning, and to provide small amounts of water often found necessary for the long-term stability of the polymer solutions [111]. 

As in the case of interfacial polycondensation, there is very little reported work on the kinetic and related aspects of low-temperature solution poly condensation. 

A diamine solution in water and a diacid chloride solution in hexane are prepared. A porous substrate membrane is then dipped into the aqueous solution of diamine. The pores at the top of the porous substrate membrane are filled with the aqueous solution in this process. The membrane is then immersed in the diacid chloride solution in hexane. Because water and hexane are not miscible, an interface is formed at the boundary of the two phases. Poly condensation of diamine and diacid chloride will take place at the interface, resulting in a very thin layer of polyamide. The preparation of composite membranes by the interfacial in situ polycondensation is schematically presented in Fig. 3. 

As in the Eq. (64) X value has no effect on the distribution P (N), then the indicated relationship supposes three basic parameters influencing on distribution P (N) d, b and ty. Each of the indicated parameters characterizes a certain feature of the poly condensation process. The exponent d is thus essentially defined by the macromolecular coil stmcture, that directly follows from the Eq. (63). The value b characterizes the type and intensity of the destructive processes. Parameter is determined by the stochastic contribution to a polycondensation process and it is possible to assume dependence on comonomers initial concentration c the greater C(, the higher the probability of random collisions. This postulate is particularly important for the mode of interfacial polycondensation, where synthesis proceeds not in all reactive vessel volume, but only in the interfacial layer, for which enhanced in comparison with average value the magnitude c is expected. All experimental MWD curves have the unimodal shape that supposes low mobility for coils in solution or < 2/3 [101]. 

One of the most important methods for obtaining organometallic polymers is poly condensation. In 1961 Knobloch and Rauscher reported the synthesis of polyesters and polyamides with ferrocene groups in their backbones using interfacial polymerization. 

In 1967, the synthesis of OA and racemic polyurethane-urea, which are more complicated than polyurethanes was reported by the same authors [71]. The 1-alky 1-2-isocyanate ethylchloroformate monomers were obtained in good yield by the reaction of the corresponding aminoalcohol hydrochloride with phosgene they were poly condensed with diamines into high polymers by the interfacial procedure, using sodium carbonate as an acid acceptor according to Scheme XXXIV. 

Cortisone acetate has been incorporated into several polyanhydrides (15). The rates of release of cortisone acetate from microcapsules of poly(terephthaUc acid), poly(terephthaUc acid-sebacic acid) 50 50, and poly(carboxyphenoxypropane-sebacic acid) 50 50 are shown in Fig. 8. These microcapsules were produced by an interfacial condensation of a diacyl chloride in methylene chloride with the appropriate dicarboxylic acid in water, with or without the crosslinking agent trimesoyl chloride. This process produces irregular microcapsules with a rough surface. The release rates of cortisone acetate from these microcapsules varied correspondingly with the rate of degradation of the respective polyanhydrides. It can be expected that the duration of release of cortisone acetate from solid microspheres, such as those produced by the hot-melt process, would be considerably longer.

Fully aromatic polyamides are synthesized by interfacial polycondensation of diamines and dicarboxylic acid dichlorides or by solution condensation at low temperature. For the synthesis of poly(p-benzamide)s the low-temperature polycondensation of 4-aminobenzoyl chloride hydrochloride is applicable in a mixture of N-methylpyrrolidone and calcium chloride as solvent. The rate of the reaction and molecular weight are influenced by many factors, like the purity of monomers and solvents, the mode of monomer addition, temperature, stirring velocity, and chain terminators. Also, the type and amount of the neutralization agents which react with the hydrochloric acid from the condensation reaction, play an important role. Suitable are, e.g., calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide. 

Ferrocene has been reported to be very effective as a soot reducing agent in combustion [42 — 44]. Thus, when ferrocene compounds are incorporated in a fire retardant polymer, such as a phenolphthalein-based polymer and poly(phosphate ester)s, they have shown added advantages in that they promote extinction and reduce smoke formation by accelerated char reduction [45, 46]. The synthesis of such ferrocene-containing poly(phosphate ester)s was achieved by interfacial polycondensation using a phase transfer catalyst [47]. Accordingly, l,l -bis(p-hydroxy-phenylamido)ferrocene and l,l -bis(p-hydroxyphenylcarbonyl)ferrocene underwent condensation with various aryl phosphoroic acid dichlorides to yield two series of ferrocene-containing polymers, i.e., poly (amide-phosphate ester)s 38a and poly(ester-phosphate ester)s 38b respectively, as shown in Scheme 10-17.
