ABSTRACT:
This invention concerns a free radical polymn. process, selected chain transfer agents employed in the process and polymers made thereby, in which the process comprises prepg. polymers (ZCS2Qq)pR (I) or Z'(CS2QqR)m (II), comprising contacting: (i) a monomer having repeating units Q, selected from vinyl monomers of structure CH2:CUV, maleic anhydride, N-alkylmaleimide, N-arylmaleimide, dialkyl fumarate and cyclopolymerizable monomers; (ii) a thiocarbonylthio compd. selected from (ZCS2)pR (III) and Z'(CS2R)m (IV) having a chain transfer const. .gtoreq.0.1; and (iii) free radicals produced from a free radical source; and controlling the polydispersity of the polymer being formed by varying the ratio of the no. of mols of (ii) to the no. of mols of (iii); I being made by contacting (i), (ii), III and (iii) and II by contacting (i), (ii), IV, and (iii). Z = H, Cl, (un)substituted alkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, alkylthio, alkoxycarbonyl, CO2R", CO2H, O2CR", CONR"2, cyano, P(O)OR"2, P(O)R"2, polymer chain formed by any mechanism; Z' = m-valent moiety derived from a member of the group consisting of (un)substituted alkyl, aryl, or polymer chain, where the connecting moieties are selected from aliph. or arom. carbon and S; Q is selected from -C(U)(V)CH2- and repeating units from maleic anhydride, N-alkylmaleimide, N-arylmaleimide, dialkyl fumarate, and cyclopolymerizable monomers; U = H, halogen, (un)substituted C1-4 alkyl, with substituents selected from OH, alkoxy, OR", carboxy, acyloxy, O2CR", CO2R"; V = R", CO2H, CO2R", COR", CN, CONH2, CONHR", CONR"2, O2CR", OR", halogen. R = (un)substituted alkyl, (un)satd. alkylthio, alkoxy, dialkylamino, organometallic, polymer chain; in III and IV, R.cntdot. = a free radical leaving group that initiates free radical polymn.; R" = (un)substituted C1-18 alkyl, C2-18 alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, aralkyl, alkaryl; p, q .gtoreq.1; m .gtoreq.2; R' = p-valent moiety selected from (un)substituted alkyl, aryl, polymer chain. Polymg. 4 mL of a stock soln. from 15 mL Me methacrylate, 20 mg AIBN, and 60.7 mg 2-phenyl-2-Pr dithiobenzoate in 5 mL benzene, in a degassed and sealed ampule at 60.degree. for 2 (16) h gave Mn 9800 (56,200), Mw/Mn 1.27 (1.12), and % conversion 13.5 (95.0)%.
