Vinyl Ether Polymerization Radical

A preferred complex is a complex of lithium tetrafluoroborate and a glyme.

Vinyl ether polymerization radical.

The photoinitiated cationic polymerization of vinyl ether ve monomers has been studied by real time infrared spectroscopy. For the divinyl ether of triethylene glycol the chain reaction was shown to develop rapidly and extensively with kinetic chain lengths on the order of 10 000. Provided is a method for the polymerization of vinyl ethers catalyzed by complexes of a lithium salt and a polyether. Vinyl ethers 1 which have a strongly electron donating alkoxy substituent readily form polymers on treatment with an acidic compound initiator the polymerization is thus cationic in nature.

Polymerization rate in figure 5 the conversion of acrylate 1407 cm 1 and vinyl ether groups 1618 cm 1 are plotted as a function of vinyl ether content. A general and efficient access toward terminally functionalized poly vinyl ether s. In order to overcome the challenge of direct radical polymerization of vinyl ethers commercial hydroxy functional vinyl ethers such as 2 hydroxyethyl vinyl ether heve were subjected to free radical polymerization generating. No anionic or radical polymerizations give high polymers from vinyl ethers except for the alternating radical copolymerization with an electron deficient monomer.

A new photoinitiating system for living cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers is reported. In the current approach visible light irradiation of dimanganese decacarbonyl mn 2 co 10 in the presence of an alkyl bromide results in the formation of carbon centered radicals the photochemically generated radicals were then oxidized by diphenyliodonium ions to the corresponding cations. The pdvlc pdcvlc and f pdcvlc qds films were prepared by dual step polymerization of acrylate monomers radical polymerization and vinyl ether lc monomers cationic polymerization. Thienyl chloride initiated living cationic polymerization.

The resulting polymers are produced under mild and controlled conditions and are useful in adhesives and coatings as well as in other uses such as for polymer electrolytes in batteries and for viscosity. Macromolecules 2020 53 5 1536 1542. A novel uv curing vinyl ether lcs with a wide temperature range was developed by mixturing various vinyl ether lc monomers. This method however is highly sensitive to monomer structure and achieved only 76 m and 64 m in the case of n butyl bve and ethyl vinyl ether eve respectively.

Unprecedented controlled radical vinyl polymerization crp of vinyl ethers using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer raft polymerization is reported.
