Research Abstract |
We have investigated the copolymerization of commercially available vinyl monomers with radical ring-opening polymerizable monomers in order to develop new functionalized materials including the functional groups such as the ester group, ether group, and ketone group in the polymer backbone. 1. Syntheses of New Radical Ring-Opening Polymerizabel Monomers: (1) Radical polymerization of 2,2-Diphenyl-4-methylene-1,3-dioxolane (DPMD) was carried out to obtain poly(ketone) with a quantitative elimination of benzophenone. (2) Methylenecyclobutane underwent vinyl polymerization without ring-opening, whereas vinylcyclobutane did radical ring-opening polymerization to afford poly(1,6-hex-2-ene). (3) Vinylthiirane underwent radical polymerization with the ring-opening at the bond between carbon and sulfur atom, although carbon-carbon bond of the oxirane ring was cleaved in the polymerization of vinyloxirane. (4) Vinylcyclopropanes bearing functional groups such as the phenyl group, ester group, and cyano group were prepared, and all of them were found to undergo radical ring-opening polymerization. 2. Copolymerization: (1) Copolymerization of vinyloxirane with enhylene was carried out to obtain polyethylene bearing the vinyl ether groups in the polymer backbone. (2) Copolymerization of DPMD with enhylene afforded polyethylene containing the ketone and ether groups in the polymer backbone. (3) Copolymerization of DPMD with styrene was carried out to obtain polystyrene including the ketone groups in the polymer backbone. furthermore, the content of the ketone group in the polymer can be arbitrarily controlled by the change of DMPD's feed ratio. (4) DPMD can copolymerize also with other vinyl monomers such as N-vinyl-2 pyrrolidone, vinyl acetate, and methyl methacrylate to yield the corresponding copolymers including the ketone groups in the polymer backbone. Further investigation on physical propaties of these copolymers is in progress now.
