The book consists of four articles reviewing living polymerization to produce precisely defined linear polyesters, comparing them to other living polymerization techniques. The articles also deal with the synthesis of polymeric dendrimers, either by the convergent or divergent approach; block copolymers synthesis, to define micromorphology in high performance polymers; and thereby tailoring their thermal, chemical, mechanical and dielectrical properties, and finally kinetics and thermodynamics for microstructural organization in macroporous thermosets.

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Various Macromolecular Architectures by Using Combined Controlled and Photoinitiated Polymerization Methods written by Ali Ekrem Müftüoğlu and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced polymeric materials with specialized properties are of great interest. Block and graft copolymers are the most demanded advanced materials since they display combined physical and mechanical properties. Because of their diverse macromolecular structures, they may possess novel characteristics required for many high-tech applications. Therefore, engineering macromolecular architectures is one of the major goals in polymer chemistry. Controlled polymerization methods appear to be the most powerful and versatile tools in achieving this goal. in the present work, macromolecular chains of various chemical compositions were ~ assembled in original topologies by combination of Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) or Ring-opening Polymerization (ROP) with photoinduced radical or radical promoted cationic polymerizations. These macromolecular architectures involve block, graft, block-graft, and brush type copolymers as well as miktoarm star copolymers and hyper-branched polymers... For this purpose, end-chain, mid-chain or side-chain mono- or bi- amino- or N;N- dimethylamino- functional precursor polymers were prepared either by A TRP or ROP. Subsequently, these prepolymers served as macromolecular co-initiators in photoinduced radical or promoted cationic polymerizations. For the preparation of diblock copolymers, N,N-dimethylaniline end-functional polystyrenes (PSt) with well-defined structures and low polydispersities were synthesized by A TRP of styrene in bulk at 11 O0C using 4-( dimethylamino )benzyl 4- (bromomethyl) benzoate as initiator in conjunction with a cuprous complex, Cu(I)Br/bipyridine. These polym'ers were further used in block copolymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) via photoinduced radical and radical promoted cationic polymerization routes, respectively, as represented by (1) and (2). in the former case, macroradical generation was achieved with benzophenone sensitizer by photoexcitation followed by hydrogen abstraction from amino end groups. A visible light initiating system has been utilized in the radical promoted cationic polymerization of CHO. The system involves a xanthene dye (Erythrosin B) as the sensitizer, an aromatic N;N-dimethylamino group and diphenyl iodonium hexafluorophosphate as the radical source and radical oxidizer, respectively. While pure block copolymers were obtained in the free radical route, the free radical promoted cationic polymerization yielded both block and homopolymers...

Download or read book Degradable Aliphatic Polyesters written by A.-C. Albertsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-03 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renewed interest in aliphatic polyesters has resulted in developing materials important in the biomedical and ecological fields. Mainly materials such as PLA and PCL homopolymers have so far been used in most applications. There are many other monomers which can be used. Different molecular structures give a wider range of physical properties as well as the possibility of regulating the degradation rate. By using different types of initiators and catalysts, ring-opening polymerization of lactones and lactides provides macromolecules with advanced molecular architectures. In the future, new degradable polymers should be able to participate in the metabolism of nature. Some examples of novel polymers with inherent environmentally favorable properties such as renewability and degradability and a series of interesting monomers found in the metabolisms and cycles of nature are given.

Schmidt and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, Bernhard Schmidt describes his research into two fields in the chemical sciences: supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry. Schmidt first investigates cyclodextrins (CDs), which are well known for the formation of supramolecular host/guest complexes with hydrophobic molecules in aqueous solution. Schmidt then also examines reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization as a well-suited toll for the synthesis of water-soluble end-functionalized polymers. The author skillfully combines both concepts as a powerful tool to access reversibly forming macromolecular architectures. The novel methods and architectures presented in this work are highly interesting from both a fundamental point of view as well as a basis for the design of efficient drug release systems. The work in this thesis has led to a number of publications in top peer-reviewed journals.

Book excerpt: Control over macromolecular architecture and resulting material properties has been a central goal of polymer chemistry. There has been much interest in developing new synthetic routes to prepare smart materials with novel compositions and topologies for various applications. The considerable progress in the metal mediated macromolecular engineering over the past decade has had a major impact on the development of well-defined macromolecular architectures and the synthesis of smart materials. Particularly, remarkable strong developments have been observed for the synthesis of smart materials via four metal mediated macromolecular engineering techniques; Anionic, ROMP, ATRP and Click Chemistry. These materials have found uses in advanced microelectronics, technical and biomedical applications as well as in chemical sensors applications. This book is comprised of 27 chapters written by leading scientists from NATO and Partner Countries who have greatly contributed in the area of Anionic, ROMP, ATRP and Click Chemistry. It highlights the fundamental aspects and recent developments of these four powerful techniques and evaluate their potential in the syntheses of smart materials from complex structures (grafts, brushes, dendrimers, etc.) to nanostructures (self-assembly, nano-size, etc) for a wide range of applications. The book reports on the synthesis of a wide range of well-defined complex polymeric systems such as thermoresponsive smart polymers, star copolymers, biocompatible polymers, amphipilic smart nano structured, conducting polymers, self assembled polymers, and hyperbranced polymers.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the papers presented at the second Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS '95 on "New Macromolecular Architecture and Functions" which was held at Senri Life Science Center, Osaka, Japan, on June 2 through June 5, 1995. The symposium covered the three topics, (1) Controlled Polymerizations, (2) Macromolecular Organized Systems and (3) Biomimetic Polymers, and invited leading scientists in these fields. At present, any of these topics is a hot issue in itself and frequently taken up separately on many occasions. It is noted, however, that all these topics are correlated with each other with the keyword "molecular design of new types of polymers" and their combination provides a unique feature of the present symposium in reflecting the interactions among investigators working in these important fields with the common ground expressed by the keyword "molecular design of new types of polymers". Twenty five invited lectures and twenty nine posters were presented at the Symposium, and twenty of the lectures contribute to this volume. In the first topic, preparations of sequentially of stereoregularly controlled polymers were discussed from the view points of precise design of polymer preparation on the molecular level; attention was paid to a possibility of living radical polymerization, preparations of new types of living polymers, recent advances in preparation of stereospecific living polymers, sequential control in block copolymers, and molecular design of initiators and/or catalysts for the controlled polymerizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The living/controlled polymerisation techniques opened new vistas in polymer chemistry. The leading authorities in this field and its pioneers contributed chapters to this collective volume. The controlled polymerisation techniques have enabled preparation of polymers, copolymers, and block copolymers with predetermined molecular weights and narrow polydispersity, in which functional groups or biologically active molecules could be placed at well defined locations. They have also enabled preparation of advanced polymeric structures with precisely determined architectures and improved properties. Moreover, they have provided opportunities for preparation of novel polymeric materials from monomers, which before have not been suitable or accessible for such purposes. Properties of some of these polymeric materials may be significantly different from those of the existing ones. They provide opportunities for new applications. Several patents have already been approved for such speciality applications as, drug delivery, biocompatible surfaces, thermoplastic elastomers, moisture curable sealants, and so on. Many more products, based on polymers fabricated by the living/ controlled polymerisation techniques, will certainly emerge in such specialised areas as, nanotechnology, medical devices, "smart polymers", sensors , smart separation technologies, optical fibres and other optical applications, various biomaterials, etc.

Download or read book Continuous flow Synthesis of Branched Macromolecular Architectures in Microsystems written by Florence Bally and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Branched macromolecular architectures have been synthesized for the development of drug delivery systems. A mechanistic study has first been performed in batch reactors in order to understand the formation of branched polymers, conducted through a controlled polymerization technique, adapted from ATRP. Branching efficiency limitations led to the development of a continuous-flow microprocess, which enabled the production of denser branched architectures. In addition, polymer libraries have been conveniently generated and characterized, thanks to online GPC analyses. Furthermore, the continuous-flow microprocess has been upgraded by a new process unit aiming at inline polymer recovery in the form of nanoparticles suspension. This micromixer-assisted nanoprecipitation unit enabled to obtain size-controlled particles (average size around 100 nm) by tuning operating conditions. Micromixing also impacted the size of the nanoparticles as supported by hydrodynamics numerical simulations within the microstructure. Drug-loaded nanoparticles were then formulated at high polymer solution flow rate and led to diffusion-controlled drug delivery systems. Finally, the synthesis of pH-sensitive polymers has been adapted from the work conducted on the previous chemical system in order to consider targeted drug delivery. Macromolecular characteristics, such as molecular weight and architecture (linear vs. branched), impacted drug loading and release, operating at two different pH values.

Book excerpt: The thesis work is split into five major chapters, viz. metal catalyzed polymerization of 1,3 butadiene, various protocols for synthesis of Poly(vinylidenefluoride) block copolymers, Copper (0) metal mediated iodine degenerative transfer controlled radical photo emulsion VDF homopolymerization, synthesis of 2,3,3,3 - tetrafluoropropene (TFP) homo, random and block copolymers, metal catalyzed interconversion of inactive perfluorohalides. Controlled radical polymerization of 1,3 butadiene was successfully achieved by using various group 8 and group 10 metal complexes such as the Fe,Ni, Run+1X3/(Nitrogen, Oxygen, Halide, Phosphine) ligand complexes. First instance of photo mediated polymerization of 1,3 butadiene were developed for Fe-complexes. A library of complex PVDF block copolymer architecture were synthesized by Mn2(CO)10 catalyzed quantitative activation of the PVDF-CF2-CH2-I and PVDF-CH2-CF2-I chain ends, and their properties were studied. Metal-free organo photocatalyst mediated controlled radical polymerization of the second block in PVDF block copolymers was achieved, and the kinetics of polymerization and chain end activation were studied in detail. Novel poly(TFP) homopolymer, random and block copolymer with VDF architectures were synthesized by Cu(0), Mtx(CO)y catalyzed radical polymerization. Rational selection of parameters such as the nature of the solvent, temperature, metal ligand complexes and various additives was evaluated to optimize the kinetic parameters for successful interconversion of RFCl, RFBr and RFI substrates.
