Synthesis of 4-arms hydroxy-functionalized PMMA-b-PE through combining free radical polymerization with coordination polymerization
E-mail:
The copolymerization of MMA with ethylene was promoted by metallocene complex in the presence of initiator tetra(2,3-epoxy propoxy)silane (Is), reducing agent Zn and cocatalyst MAO, combining free radical polymerization with coordination polymerization via sequential monomer addition strategy in one-pot to produce 4-arms hydroxy-functionalized PMMA-b-PE. The effects of polymerization conditions such as temperature, time, ethylene pressure and Al/Ti molar ratio on the polymerization performance were investigated. 4-Arms hydroxy-functionalized PMMA-b-PE was obtained by solvent extraction and determined by GPC, MALLS, DSC, FT-IR, WAXD and 1H(13C) NMR. The DSC result indicated that the 4-arms hydroxy-functionalized PMMA-b-PE had one Tg at 87.0 ℃ and one Tm at 117.0 8C which attributed to Tg of PMMA segment and Tm of PE segment, respectively. The microstructure of 4-arms hydroxy-functionalized PMMA-b-PE was further confirmed by WAXD, FT-IR, and 13C NMR analysis. These results demonstrated that the obtained 4-arms block copolymer consisted of PMMA segment and crystalline PE segment.

- Catalyst system: CpTiCl3/Zn/Is/MMA = 8/12/1/300; monomer: MMA (3 mL); radical polymerization of MMA was carried out at 90 8C for 2.5 h in 1,4-dioxane (IE = 0.68, Mn = 0.27 104, MWD = 1.51). When the experiment was performed in a 300 mL glass Schlenk, the mixture color was changed into lime-green, demonstrating the formation of metallocene complex radical CpTi(III)Cl2
