Polystyrene graft copolymers, anionic

Bonding of hydrophobic plastic materials to wood to create new wood-plastic (polystyrene) materials with improved mechanical and physical properties that incorporate the desirable features of each constituent is difficult to achieve. This is due to poor interfacial adhesion between the wood and polystyrene components because of their inherent incompatibility. New, well-defined, tailored cellulose-polystyrene graft copolymers have recently been prepared using anionic polymerization techniques. Preliminary bonding studies showed that these graft copolymers can function effectively as compatibi-lizers or interfacial agents to bond hydrophobic plastic (polystyrene) material to wood, evolving into a new class of composites. [Pg.334]

The polymer carbanion can also be used as an anionic initiator for polymerizing a conventional organic monomer to generate a poly-phosphazene-co-organic polymer (Fig. 3.50). The polystyrene graft copolymer prepared as shown above is actually separated into the individual polystyrene and polyphosphazene phases. This is found by the detection of two separate Tg s at +100 °C and +37 °C. [Pg.142]

Very few graft copolymers based on poly(arylene ether)s have been synthesized, probably because of their chemical inertness. Klapper et al. reported grafting the polystyrene or polyisoprene onto the poly(ether ether ketone ketone) (PEEKK) by anionic deactivation.229 The carbonyl groups on tire backbone can be attacked by the polystyrene monoanion or polyisoprene anion (Mn about 3000). Due to the steric hindrance only about 30% of tire carbonyl groups can be reacted. [Pg.360]

A radical initiator based on the oxidation adduct of an alkyl-9-BBN (47) has been utilized to produce poly(methylmethacrylate) (48) (Fig. 31) from methylmethacrylate monomer by a living anionic polymerization route that does not require the mediation of a metal catalyst. The relatively broad molecular weight distribution (PDI = (MJM ) 2.5) compared with those in living anionic polymerization cases was attributed to the slow initiation of the polymerization.69 A similar radical polymerization route aided by 47 was utilized in the synthesis of functionalized syndiotactic polystyrene (PS) polymers by the copolymerization of styrene.70 The borane groups in the functionalized syndiotactic polystyrenes were transformed into free-radical initiators for the in situ free-radical graft polymerization to prepare s-PS-g-PMMA graft copolymers. [Pg.41]

The synthesis and purification of polystyrene methacryloyl macromonomers (PS-MA) in the molecular weight range Mn= 1000-2000 g mol 1 by living anionic polymerization of styrene (S), termination with ethylene oxide (EO), and subsequent reaction with methacrylic chloride has already been described in detail elsewhere [180] (see also Scheme 16). In this context it has to be emphasized that the hydroxyethyl-terminated PS-MA macromonomer precursor (PS-OH) as obtained after purification of the crude PS-OH by silica column chromatography (cyclohexane/dichloromethane 1/1 v/v) and as charged in the PS-MA synthesis still contains up to about 15 wt-% of non-functionalized polystyrene (PS-H). This PS-H impurity of the PS-MA macromonomer does not interfere with the PS-MA synthesis and the subsequent TBA/PS-MA copolymerization and is easily and conveniently removed from the resulting PTBA-g-PS graft copolymer (see below). [Pg.31]

Partially chloromethylated or bromomethylated anionically prepared polystyrenes have been used for the preparation of several graft copolymers containing PS backbones and PI,43 P2VP,45 139 P4VP,140 PtBuMA,45 and PEO141142 branches. Some of these copolymers are precursors for amphiphilic graft copolymers (Scheme 64). [Pg.591]

Table 1 summarizes the literature data on the graft copolymers prepared by polystyrene macromonomers, which were synthesized by anionic polymerization. [Pg.36]

Both anionic and catioiuc mechanisms can be used to form graft copolymers. A typical example of graft copolymer formation by anionic mechanism is grafting polyacrylonitrile to polystyrene [364] ... [Pg.627]
