Self-Condensing Iodine Transfer Copolymerization forHighly Branched Polymers Using an in Situ FormedChain Transfer Monomer
2019
We reported a facile and effective method for the preparation of highly branched polymers by combining the concepts of self-condensing vinyl polymerization (SCVP) and iodine transfer polymerization (ITP). This procedure used a chain transfer monomer synthesized in situ from a commercially available chloride compound, p-chloromethylstyrene (CMS). The efficiencies of the halogen exchange from the alkyl chloride (−CH2Cl) to the alkyl iodide (−CH2I) at room and high temperature were studied using CMS and benzyl chloride as model halogenated compounds. The structures of the resulting polymer and the branching behavior were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) equipped with a differential refractive index detector, a multiangle laser light scattering detector, and a viscometer detector. The model study using small molecules revealed that −CH2Cl could efficiently halogen exchange with sodium iodide (NaI) at both room and high temperature. The model lin...
