Synthesizing isoprene and methyl methacrylate triblock copolymers using peculiar living free radical polymerization with difunctional t-BuLi initiator
A peculiar living free radical polymerization process for the preparation of poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly (isoprene)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (MIM) triblock copolymers using anionic living polymerization (ALP) combined with mercaptan/epsilon-caprolactam living polymerization (MLP) is developed. Polyisoprene (PI) is first synthesized by ALP using a difunctional t-BuLi initiator with tetrahydrofuran as the polar regulator. Then, a PI with a controlled isomeric unit is end-group functionalized with mercaptans to form an alpha,omega-bismercaptanfunctionalized PI precursor polymer, which is characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, after which a thiolamide-structured MIM is formed by MLP at 90 degrees C. Living characteristics are confirmed by GPC, which reveals that MIMs with Mn values of 42.1-81.3 kDa are prepared. The polymers are also characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and gradient polymer elution chromatography. In addition, two Tgs are observed for each polymer by DSC: between-57.2 and 10.4 degrees C, and 99.4 and 119.8 degrees C, which correspond to the separated microphases within each MIM.
