Free Radical (co)polymerization of Aromatic Vinyl Monomers Derived from Vanillin
European polymer journal/European Polymer Journal(2023)
摘要
Chemical structure (effect of functional substituents on vinyl bond reactivity) was used as a criterion to evaluate the (co)polymerization behavior of vanillin-derived 3-allyl-5-vinylveratrole, 4-vinylveratrole, and 2-glycidoxy-5vinylanisole in chain-growth polymerization mechanism. After polymerization, allyl and epoxy functional groups of monomer units remain unaffected as macromolecular side groups and can be utilized in post-polymerization reactions (in particular, cross-linking). Due to the intermolecular chain transfer to polymer, a fraction of branched macromolecules can be formed in free radical polymerization of 3-allyl-5-vinylveratrole. At the same time, the kinetic study shows a similar polymerization rate for all the three investigated biobased aromatic vinyl monomers. Determined in copolymerization with methyl methacrylate Q-e values indicate that 3-allyl-5-vinylveratrole, 4vinylveratrole and 2-glycidoxy-5-vinylanisole behave like conventional vinyl monomers and can be copolymerized interchangeably. In this manner, macromolecules with controlled amounts of cross-linkable epoxy and allyl groups incorporated into the backbone can be synthesized. Based on the glass transition temperature of the homopolymers thereof (66-93 degrees C), biobased aromatic vinyl monomers can serve as "rigid" macromolecular fragments and be applied in the formulation of thermoset polymer coatings. Being derived from renewable resources, 3-allyl-5-vinylveratrole, 4-vinylveratrole, and 2-glycidoxy-5-vinylanisole can be considered as a replacement for petroleum-based commodity styrene in the production of various industrial polymeric materials that utilize aromatic monomers.
