Styrene, Bound

For ESBR polymerized at 50°C, knowing the percentage of bound styrene in the copolymer allows estimation of the T by the following, where S is the weight fraction of the styrene (% bound styrene) (8). 

CH2CpCo(C0)2 3 and CpCo(C0)2 were prepared utilizing the procedures of Grubbs et al. for the syntheses of poly-styrene-bound cyclopentadiene (25) and Rausch and Genetti for the synthesis of CpCo(C0)2 (26 ). Thus, for 3, commercially available (P)CH2C1 (1% DVB, microporous, 1.48 mmol Cl/g. resin) was treated with excess NaCp to form CH2CpH 2. This was then exposed to Co2(C0)e to form desired compound 3 (0.3-0.5 mmol Co/g. resin,... 

The type of support chosen can have an impact on the facility with which nucleophilic cleavage takes place. Polystyrene, a very hydrophobic support, is difficult to perfuse with small ions such as hydroxide, and for this reason the saponification of poly-styrene-bound esters usually proceeds more slowly than the corresponding solution reaction. Tentagel, polyacrylamides, or other more hydrophilic supports are generally a better choice if saponifications or other reactions involving small ions are to be performed. 

Support-bound stannanes have been prepared from phenyllithium bound to macro-porous polystyrene and chlorostannanes [14,41], by treatment of support-bound alkyl chlorides with lithiated stannanes [21,41], and by radical or palladium-mediated addition of stannanes to alkenes and alkynes (Figure 4.7 [42-47]). The chloride of poly-styrene-bound chlorostannanes can be displaced by treatment with arylzinc reagents, thereby yielding resin-bound arylstannanes [46]. Polystyrene-bound stannanes have also been prepared by copolymerization of 4-[2-(dibutylchlorostannyl)ethyl]styrene with styrene and divinylstyrene [48],... 

Support-bound C-nucleophiles have also been successfully added to imines. Poly-styrene-bound thiol esters can be converted into ketene acetals by O-silylation, and then alkylated with imines in the presence of Lewis acids. Further examples include Mannich reactions of support-bound alkynes and indoles (Table 10.10). Some Man-nich-type products (e.g. 3-(aminomethyl)indoles, 2-(aminomethyl)phenols, (3-amino ketones) are unstable and can decompose upon treatment with acids. 3-(Amino-... 

Alkenes can be transformed into ketones by Wacker oxidation (Entry 2, Table 12.3), but this reaction does not seem to proceed cleanly on polymeric supports. Janda and co-workers were able to oxidize styrenes bound to macroporous polystyrene to the corresponding acetophenones, but reported that the reaction did not proceed on PEG... 

Those studying colloids expanded their concepts until in 1899 Johannes Thiele extended his valence theory to double bonds. He suggested that the material, now known as polystju-ene, was merely styrene bound by association of its double bonds, he called this "partial valence". This... 

Structural studies of polymer surfaces materials that have been studied include polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) [22], PMMA-polypyrrole composites [23], poly(chloromethyl styrene) bound 1,4,8,11 tetrazacrylotetra decane poly(chloromethyl styrene) bound theonyl trifluoroacetone [24], polydimethyl siloxane-polyamide copolymers [25], PS [26], ion-implanted PE [27], monoazido-terminated polyethylene oxide [28], polyurethanes [29], polyaniline [30], fluorinated polymer films [31], poly(o-toluidine) [32], polyetherimide and polybenzimidazole [33], polyfullerene palladium [34], imidazole-containing imidazolylethyl maleamic acid - octadecyl vinyl ether copolymer [35], polyphenylene vinylene ether [36], thiphene oligomers [37], fluorinated styrene-isoprene derivative of a methyl methacrylate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer [38], polythiophene [39], dibromoalkane-hexafluorisopropylidene diphenol and bisphenol A [40], and geopolymers [41],... 

Structures of styrene, divinylbenzene, and a styrene-divinylbenzene co-polymer modified for use as an ion-exchange resin. The ion-exchange sites, indicated by R, are mostly in the para position and are not necessarily bound to all styrene units. 

There has been a marked trend toward concentration of higher styrene (ca 40%) polymers in hot latices, and lower styrene (mostiy 20—30% bound styrene) types in cold latex series. This is a reflection of the fact that lowering the polymerization temperature of high styrene copolymers produces little or no gain in the physical properties of the copolymer. 

Other polymers used in the PSA industry include synthetic polyisoprenes and polybutadienes, styrene-butadiene rubbers, butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers, polychloroprenes, and some polyisobutylenes. With the exception of pure polyisobutylenes, these polymer backbones retain some unsaturation, which makes them susceptible to oxidation and UV degradation. The rubbers require compounding with tackifiers and, if desired, plasticizers or oils to make them tacky. To improve performance and to make them more processible, diene-based polymers are typically compounded with additional stabilizers, chemical crosslinkers, and solvents for coating. Emulsion polymerized styrene butadiene rubbers (SBRs) are a common basis for PSA formulation [121]. The tackified SBR PSAs show improved cohesive strength as the Mooney viscosity and percent bound styrene in the rubber increases. The peel performance typically is best with 24—40% bound styrene in the rubber. To increase adhesion to polar surfaces, carboxylated SBRs have been used for PSA formulation. Blends of SBR and natural rubber are commonly used to improve long-term stability of the adhesives.

A modified latex composition contains a phosphorus surface group. Such a latex is formed by emulsion polymerization of unsaturated synthetic monomers in the presence of a phosponate or a phosphate which is intimately bound to the surface of the latex. Thus, a modified latex containing 46% solids was prepared by emulsion polymerization of butadiene, styrene, acrylic acid-styrene seed latex, and a phosphonate comonomer in H20 in the presence of phosphated alkylphenol ethoxylate at 90°C. The modified latex is useful as a coating for substrates and as a binder in aqueous systems containing inorganic fillers employed in paper coatings, carpet backings, and wallboards [119].

Furthermore, styrene polymer-bound BTMA Br3 was also used as the reagent for the preparation of polybromo-substituted aromatic amines (ref. 12). 

The properties and yield of the polymer product were correlated to the NHC identity, providing clear evidence that the NHC ligand was bound and influenced the reaction. Smaller R groups (Me, Et) on 39-R provided low molecular weights, yields, and detectable amounts of impurity. Sugiyama only examined the influence of sterics on the formation of PC, but the initial success inspired Tanaka and coworkers to extend this application by tethering NHC ligands to styrene beads [48]. 

As already shown, it is technically possible to incorporate additive functional groups within the structure of a polymer itself, thus dispensing with easily extractable small-molecular additives. However, the various attempts of incorporation of additive functionalities into the polymer chain, by copolymerisation or free radical initiated grafting, have not yet led to widespread practical use, mainly for economical reasons. Many macromolecular stabiliser-functionalised systems and reactive stabiliser-functionalised monomers have been described (cf. ref. [576]). Examples are bound-in chromophores, e.g. the benzotriazole moiety incorporated into polymers [577,578], but also copolymerisation with special monomers containing an inhibitor structural unit, leading to the incorporation of the antioxidant into the polymer chain. Copolymers of styrene and benzophenone-type UV stabilisers have been described [579]. Chemical combination of an antioxidant with the polymer leads to a high degree of resistance to (oil) extraction.
