Allyl Methacrylate (allyl + methacrylate)
Selected AbstractsDiblock copolymers based on allyl methacrylate: Synthesis, characterization, and chemical modificationJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 16 2007Rodrigo París Abstract Different diblock copolymers constituted by one segment of a monomer supporting a reactive functional group, like allyl methacrylate (AMA), were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Bromo-terminated polymers, like polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) were employed as macroinitiators to form the other blocks. Copolymerizations were carried out using copper chloride with N,N,N,,N,,N, -pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) as the catalyst system in benzonitrile solution at 70 °C. At the early stage, the ATRP copolymerizations yielded well-defined linear block copolymers. However, with the polymerization progress a change in the macromolecular architecture takes place due to the secondary reactions caused by the allylic groups, passing to a branched and/or star-shaped structure until finally yielding gel at monomer conversion around 40% or higher. The block copolymers were characterized by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), 1H NMR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In addition, one of these copolymers, specifically P(BA- b -AMA), was satisfactorily modified through osmylation reaction to obtain the subsequent amphiphilic diblock copolymer of P(BA- b -DHPMA), where DHPMA is 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate; demonstrating the feasibility of side-chain modification of the functional obtained copolymers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The methacryloyl group of AMA reacted preferentially, and this resulted in pendant allyl groups along the copolymer chains. Aqueous solutions of these DMA- co -AMA copolymers were thermoresponsive and showed liquid,liquid phase transitions at temperatures that depended on the AMA content. Hydrogel microspheres were prepared from these thermally phase-separated liquid microdroplets by the free-radical crosslinking of the pendant allyl groups. The morphologies of the resulting thermoresponsive microspheres as a function of the reaction temperature and the amount of the initiator were examined. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The emulsion terpolymerization of methacrylic acid, ethyl acrylate, and allyl methacrylate and the following complexation with Gd3+ ions yielded the polymer particles with different Gd3+ ion contents. Potentiometric titration of the complexation of the particle with Gd3+ ions indicated the formation of a very stable tris-carboxylate coordinate complex with the Gd3+ ion. Electron spin resonance and IR spectra of the complexed particles were dependent on the Gd3+ ion content and the coordination environment in each particle. The microparticles dispersed on a mica substrate were subjected to atomic force microscopy (AFM), followed by magnetic force microscopy (MFM). AFM showed 100-nm-sized and monodispersed spherical images. The following MFM clearly provided strong magnetic responses exactly on the same particle positions, of which the images were also dependent on the Gd3+ ion content in the particle. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The reactive monomer PCEMA was synthesized starting from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and then copolymerized via ATRP with other methacrylates in order to obtain reactive copolymers which were subjected to polymer analogous reactions with different functional amines leading to multifunctional polymethacrylates. These can be used for the preparation of multifunctional surfaces. [source] Hyperbranched macromolecules through donor-acceptor type copolymerization of allyl,vinylene bifunctional monomers,POLYMER INTERNATIONAL, Issue 10 2002O Rzaev, Zakir M Abstract Present review is an attempt to generalize and systematize the results accumulated in synthesis of cyclolinear and hyperbranched reactive macromolecules via radical alternating copolymerization of various bifunctional monomers containing donor and acceptor type double bonds. Synthesis of hyperbranched reactive macromolecules was carried out using complex-radical cyclocopolymerization of donor-acceptor type bifunctional monomers such as monoallyl ester of maleic acid (MAM), allyl acrylate (AA), allyl methacrylate (AM), allyl trans -cinnamate (AC), methylallylmaleate (MeAM), methylallylfumarate (MAF) and allyl-,-(N-maleimido)acetate (AMI), and maleic anhydride (MA) and styrene (St) as typical acceptor and donor comonomers, respectively. The kinetic parameters of these reactions, constants of cyclization, complex-formation and copolymerization, as well as the ratios of chain growth rates for the participation of monomeric charge transfer complexes and free monomers, were all determined. It was demonstrated that in the studied systems, copolymerizations predominantly proceed according to alternating mechanism with formation of macromolecules having cyclolinear structure in the steady-state and hyperbranched structure in the high conversion conditions. It was shown that formation of linear and hyperbranched macromolecules containing allyl or vinylene groups in the side chain occurs selectively carry out and depends on the nature of used comonomer. General schemes and proposed mechanism of hyperbranching and crosslinking reactions were also described. Some useful properties of synthesized reactive copolymers were discussed. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry. [source] | ||||||||||
