Silane styryl

On the organic side of the interface, chemical bonds are formed between the organofunctional R group of the silane and the reactive species in the polymer matrix. For example, a methacrylate- or styryl-functional silane reacts with polyesters copolymerized with styrene or similar monomers, while amino- or chloroalkyl-functional silanes are unsuitable in this particular case. Polybutadiene... 

The synthetic procedure for the synthesis of the inverse starblock copolymers is given in Scheme 25. Diblock arms (I) having the living end at the PS chain end were prepared by anionic polymerization with sequential addition of monomers. In order to accelerate the crossover reaction from the PILi to the PSLi chain end a small quantity of THF was added prior the addition of styrene. The living diblock (I) solution was added dropwise to a stoichiometric amount of SiCl4 until two arms are linked to the silane. This step was monitored by SEC and is similar to a titration process. The end point of the titration was determined by the appearance of a small quantity ( 1%) of trimer in the SEC trace. The diblock (I) was selected over the diblock (II) due to the increased steric hindrance of the styryl anion over the isoprenyl anion, which makes easier the control of the incorporation of only two arms into the silane. 

The introduction of vinylsilyl end groups into a polymer chain has been achieved by several techniques. Since vinylsilyl functions are sensitive to the attack by strong nucleophiles 27), it was considered appropriate to decrease the nucleophilicity of the styryl carbanions by the addition of oxirane before reacting them with either chloromethyldimethylvinylsilane or chlorodimethylvinyl silane 28a). The following structures are formed ... 

Eq. 1) [5]. On the other hand, Kikukawa and his co-workers found that the reaction of trimethyl(a- or -styryl)silane with arenediazonium tetrafluoroborates gave regioisomeric mixtures of coupling products [6-8]. The catalytic cycle of the reaction is considered to involve carbopalladation toward the C-C double bond of an alkenylsilane by an arylpalladium intermediate followed by tetraflu-oroborate-assisted elimination of the silyl group and regeneration of a palladi-um(0) species (Scheme 1). 

Examples of well-known PISs working under laser lights in this blue-green area include the Eosin/amine, Eosin/amine/bromo compound, ketocoumarin/amine/iodonium salt, thioxanthene dye/amine/iodonium salt, erythrosin/amine, julolidine dye/Cl-HABEthiol, cyanines and related compound/borate/additive systems, pyrromethine/amine/triazine or styryl naphtothiazole dye/Cl-HABEthiol systems and Cl-HABI-based systems. A lot of novel Dye/iodonium salts/silanes can also work (e.g. [XIA 15] see sections 1.3.5 and 1.3.6). 

Chloropropyl, vinyl, and methacrylate-functional silanes on glass were only slightly better than untreated surface for adhesion to most of the rubbers. The mercaptan and amine-functional silanes have been the preferred silanes on fillers in sulfur-vulcanized rubbers. The amine gave better adhesion to natural, nitrile, and Hypalon rubbers, while the mercaptan was better with SBR, Neoprene and EPDM. The iso-thiuronium-functional silane appears to be fairly effective in bonding all rubbers—but especially SBR. Anionic or cationic styryl coupling agents were the best unsaturated silanes and contributed true adhesion to EPDM and Hypalon. 

Additional data should be obtained with a cationic, and anionic styryl-functional silanes on a filler in a rubber that shows true adhesion (cohesive failure) in peel tests on glass to determine the ultimate effect of adhesion on reinforcement. Data of Tables 1 and 2 suggest that the iso-thiuronium chloride, and the vinylbenzyl functional silanes should be considered generally along with amine and mercaptan-functional silanes in modifying mineral fillers for rubbers. 

The corresponding or-styryl silane reagent reacts exclusively at the ipso-position. The regiospecificity is in this case is perfect, but this has remained unattainable with other nucleophiles (Scheme 3-176). ...
