  1. 1. Free radical Initiation Processes • 2. Cationically Initiated Processes • 3. Anionically Initiated Processes • 4. Group Transfer Polymerization • 5. Coordination Polymerization Chap 9. Chain-growth Polymerization Chain-Growth Polymerization (Addition) Processes

  2. Chain-Growth Polymerization • Only growth reaction adds repeating units one at a time to the chain • Monomer concentration decreases steadily throughout the reaction • High Molecular weight polymer is formed at once; polymer molecular • weight changes little throughout the reaction. • Long reaction times give high yields but affect molecular weight little. • Reaction mixture contains only monomer, high polymer, and about 10-8 • part of growing chains. Step-Growth Polymerization • Molecular weight increases steadily. • High molecular weight polymers are found at the end. • Long reaction time needs to synthesize high conversion and high molecular weight.

  8. Chain Growth Polymerization • Kinetic Chain Length : • kinetic chain length υ of a radical chain polymerization is defined as the average number of monomer molecules consumed (polymerized) per each radical, which initiates a polymer chain. • ex) Monomer # 4000 Disproportionation • υ =4,000/4 =1,000 • Determined by steps 1, 2, 3. (Initiation, propagation, and termination) • (No chain transfer) • Physical Chain Length : • This condition contains Step 1, 2, 3, 4. Radical 1,2,3,4

  9. Non-Polymerization Reaction • Peroxide induced Bromination of Toluene • 1) Initiation • Two types of reaction •  R-O-O-R 2RO• (1) •  R-O• + Br2 ROBr + Br• (2) •  R-O• + ФCH3 ROH + ФCH2•(3) • Two radicals and two kinetic chains are formed by decomposition of • each ROOR molecules Kinetic Chain Reaction

  10. Kinetic Chain Reaction • 2) Propagation •  Br• + ФCH3 HBr + ФCH2 (4) •  ФCH2• + Br2 ФCH2Br + Br • (5) • Two special features  The number of active species is fixed. •  Same reactions are repeated during the kinetic chain reaction.

  11. Kinetic Chain Reaction • 3) Termination •  2 Br• Br2 •  2ФCH2• ФCH2 CH2Ф •  ФCH2• + Br • ФCH2Br + Br • • Net Effect of Kinetic Chain Reaction: • One ROOR molecule can cause formation of Br2, CH2CH2, CH2Br,HBr, ‥.

  12. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Comparison between Chain Polymerization & Chain Reaction Init. propagation termination Chain reaction Ri= Rt Reaction Rate Steady state Time Induction period In proportion to the O2 concentration

  13. Kinetic Chain Reaction • In the case of Chain reaction, there are induction periods, due to the existence of inhibitor. • When an active center is formed, the reaction rate would be faster and then go to steady state. • The whole reaction rate is reaching a plateau region. • After that, reaction rate decreases due to a loss of monomers or initiators. • Linear Chain-Growth: • Polymer of high DPn found easily in early reaction • Linear Step-Growth: • high extent of reaction value required to obtain high DPn

  14. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Comparison Free Radical Reaction &Ionic Reaction • - Ionic Initiation – multiple bond addition,ring opening polymerization • - Radical Initiation – Ring-opening polymerization is not initiated. For the cationic initiation, it will not be free radical. isobutylene Ex) Because of resonance stability

  15. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Comparison between Free Radical Reaction &Ionic Reaction

  16. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Comparison between Free Radical Reaction & Termination Step of Ionic Reaction • A) Free Radical Termination Two molecules involved = bimolecular reaction

  17. Kinetic Chain Reaction • B) Cationic Termination Anionic capture is similar to combination offree radical reaction. But, this reaction can’t include increasing of MW because of unimolecular reaction

  18. Kinetic Chain Reaction • The proton release is similar to disproportination offree radical.. • But, one chain joins in the reaction unimolecular reaction • C) Anionic Termination

  19. Kinetic Chain Reaction

  20. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Free Radical Initiated Polymerization of Unsaturated monomers • Kinetic Scheme • Initiation • Two step sequence-Both enter into overall rate • Initiator decomposition • I2 2I • 2. Addition of Initiator fragment to the monomer, Initiation of Chain growth. • I+M IM • The efficiency of Initiator - Determined by competition of desired reaction and side reaction kd ki Primary radical species Generally, 0.5 << f << 1

  21. Kinetic Chain Reaction • A.Cage Effect –primary recombination • Initiator fragments surrounded by restricting cage of solvent • Ex) • (acetyl peroxide)

  22. Kinetic Chain Reaction • I) Recombination possible I2 2I • II) If elimination reaction occurs while the free radical in-cage, • Formation of stable molecules due to Radical combination. • And formation of Inactive Species.

  23. Kinetic Chain Reaction B. Induced Decomposition –Secondary combination I) Through Radical attack on peroxide molecules R + R-O-O-R RH + ROOR R=O + RO Finally, R + ROOR ROR+ RO Total number of radical does not change, but among them half molecules were wasted. II) Chain Transfer to Solvent (In this case, since just one radical was obtainedhalf molecules were wasted.)

  29. Kinetic Chain Reaction • Overall Rate of Polymerzation • Radical concentration • Difficulty of measurement, low concentration. (~10-8molar) • Thus, it is impractical using this therm. • [M]elimination is desirable. (# of propagation step >>> # of initiation step)

  30. Kinetic Chain Reaction [M]elimination methods Steady-State Assumption Radical concentration increases at the start, comes to steady state simultaneously and thenreaction rate change becomes 0. (active centers created and destroyed at the same time) Ri = Rt

  38. Chain Transfer • M + XY MX + Y • Chain transfer agent • If Chain transfer occurs Rpisunchangable buthas an effect on DPn • (∵ Since [Y] instead of Rp=kp[M][M] ) ex) • (1) Chain transfer occurs by solvents or additives • In this case,Highchain transfer coefficient. • (2) Transfer occurs by monomer or polymer

  39. Chain Transfer Inhibitor and Retarder • Inhibitor • When Y take part in chain opening reaction, polymer moves from one site to another. • In this case, hydroquinone etc. are used as inhibitor. • Retarder • When the reactivity of Y is low, controlling the MW of the monomer including • these two materials, Mercaptan etc. are used as Retarder. • Like this, when chain transfer condition arises
