研究了以苯乙烯(St)和N-[4-(2-溴丙酰氧基)苯基]马来酰亚胺(BPPM)的交替共聚物P(St-alt-BPPM)为大分子多官能度引发剂, 以CuBr/2,2 -联吡啶(bpy)为催化体系, 环己酮为溶剂, 在60或80 ℃下进行St的原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP). 结果表明, 反应呈现活性聚合的假一级反应动力学特征, 聚合物分子量随着单体转化率上升而增加, 降低反应温度将减低反应速率, 但是所得聚合物[P(St-alt-BPPM)-g-PS]分子量分布更窄. 水解实验证明该过程具有一定可控性. 由于类似的单官能度引发剂无法在同等条件下顺利引发St的ATRP, 因此采用大分子多官能度引发剂可以大幅度降低ATRP的反应温度. 此加速现象被归因于CuBr/bpy从大分子引发剂线团外向线团内扩散, 而CuBr2/bpy则从大分子引发剂线团内向线团外扩散, 从而提高大分子引发剂线团中的自由基浓度和聚合反应速率.

The CuBr/2,2 -bipyridine (bpy)-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (St) initiated by well-defined poly(styrene-alt-N-[4-(α-bromopropyloxy)phenyl]maleimide) [P(St-alt-BPPM)] in cyclohexanone at 60 and 80 ℃ was investigated. The results showed that the reaction appeared to follow pseudo-first order kinetics, and the molecular weight (MW) of the polymer P(St-alt-BPPM)-g-PS increased with the monomer conversion. A lower reaction temperature would reduce the reaction rate and lead to a narrower molecular weight distribution of the P(St-alt-BPPM)-g-PS. The MW data of the PS side chains confirmed that the process was in a controlled fashion. The ATRP of St cannot be successfully initiated by low-MW analogue under similar conditions, so using multi-functional macroinitiator would significantly reduce the reaction temperature. Such an acceleration effect was attributed to the diffusion of CuBr/bpy from the macro-initiator coil outside to inside and that of CuBr2/bpy from inside to outside, resulting in an enhanced concentration of propagating radicals inside the coil and an faster polymerization rate.
