Anionic polymerization and copolymerization of macromonomers: Kinetics, structure control

View through CrossRef
AbstractThe present paper discusses the ability of macromonomers to undergo polymerization and copolymerization with acrylic and vinylic monomers. These macromonomers have been synthesized by classical deactivation reactions. Special interest was devoted to macromonomers fitted with polymerizable methylmethacrylate end‐groups. The anionic homopolymerization of ω‐methacryloyloxy‐polystyrene macromonomers was studied in detail and the influence of the molar mass of the macromonomer on the apparent propagation constant was determined. The anionic homopolymerization of ω‐methacryloyloxy poly(ethylene oxide) macro‐monomers was also examined. In both cases, lithium chloride has to be added in order to reach a better control of the reaction. The dilute solution properties of these polystyrene polymacromonomers have been studied. Some preliminary attempts to apply that anionic homopolymerization of macromonomers to the preparation of “dumbbell” and “palmtree” polymers were presented.
