Abstract Details

2011, MS, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Chemistry.
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a controlled/“living” radical polymerization technique capable of polymerizing vinyl monomers to high molecular weights with low polydispersities. The protected glucose-containing monomer MAIpGlc has been polymerized under ATRP conditions and the kinetics studied where the ligand and inorganic salt were varied. Polymerization kinetics were studied with N-(n-propyl)-2-pyridylmethanimine (n-Pr-1), N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA), or tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine (Me6TREN) as the ligand in veratrole at 85 °C. The effects of the inorganic salt, Cu(I)Br, Cu(I)Cl, and Cu(II)Cl were examined. The best conditions were achieved with ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate (EBriB) as the initiator and Cu(I)Cl/PMDETA in veratrole at 85 °C. Chain extension of poly(MAIpGlc) was carried out with n-butyl acrylate (nBA) as the second block to form a diblock copolymer, poly(MAIpGlc-b-nBA). Formation of a diblock copolymer with the reverse blocking order (poly(nBA-b-MAIpGlc)) afforded more control. Chain extensions of poly(methyl methacrylate) (MMA) with MAIpGlc, nBA, and tert-butyl acrylate (tBA) as the second blocks, and of poly(nBA) and poly(tBA) with MMA as the second block were also conducted to investigate effects of blocking order.
