  • Hydrozirconated styrene copolymer as a macroinitiator to in situ synthesize polyethylene/polystyrene-g-polyethylene alloy via coordination polymerization
    Polymer, 2017
    Co-Authors: Yanhui Wang, Jun Zheng, Lin Ye, Zi'an Chen, Tao Tang
    Abstract:

    Abstract A new method to in situ synthesize polyethylene/polystyrene-g-polyethylene (PE/PS-g-PE) alloy based on Hydrozirconation reaction with Cp2ZrHCl and coordination polymerization was reported. Hydrozirconation of vinyl-containing polystyrene (copolymer of styrene and 4-(vinylphenyl)-1-butene (PSVS)) was found to be an efficient way for immobilization of zirconocene pre-initiator onto polymer backbone by carbon-zirconium (C-Zr) sigma (σ) bond. By activation with MAO, the resultant hydrozirconated PSVS could act as a macroinitiator with multiple-initiating sites (Zrδ+-Cδ-) for ethylene insertion and propagation in “graft from” fashion. The Hydrozirconation and the following ethylene polymerization were monitored by NMR and GPC, revealing the successful synthesis of PS-g-PE and the following formation of free PE chains due to chain transfer characteristic of metallocene catalyst. Thus we could prepare PE/PS-g-PE alloy through in situ ethylene polymerization by this method. The presence of PS-g-PE in the resultant alloy endowed some special functionalization, for example, acting as compatibilizer in PE/PS blends.

  • surface coordination polymerization of ethylene by Hydrozirconation immobilized metallocene
    Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jun Zheng, Yanhui Wang, Lin Ye, Tao Tang, Jidong Zhang
    Abstract:

    Hydrozirconation on vinyl-terminated substrates (silicon wafer and nanosilica sphere) is employed as an efficient way for immobilization of zirconocene catalyst through Zr-C bonds, which is applied in surface coordination ethylene polymerization producing surface-tethered polyethylene (PE). The formation of Zr-C sigma bond induced by Hydrozirconation provides an initiator precursor for growing a layer of PE covalently linked onto substrates. The results from SEM, AFM, and TEM show that the surface polymerization is controlled by Hydrozirconation. Surface pattern or core-shell structure with crystalline PE coating can be formed, when silicon wafer is selectively functionalized with vinyl-groups or vinyl-modified nanosilica is applied. It is believed that Hydrozirconation for the synthesis of zirconocene initiator can be a versatile route to prepare polyolefin hybrid materials.

  • controlled chain scission of polybutadiene by the schwartz Hydrozirconation
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jun Zheng, Yanhui Wang, Tao Tang
    Abstract:

    Controlled chain-scission of polybutadiene (PB), polyisoprene, and poly(styrene-co-butadiene), induced by bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium hydrochloride (Cp2ZrHCl), was revealed at room temperature. The chain-scission reaction of linear PB was studied by means of GPC, NMR spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF-MS. It was confirmed that the molecular weights of degraded products were quasi-quantitatively controlled by Cp2ZrHCl loading, irrespective of the starting PB, whereas the microstructure of PB chains was crucial to the scission reaction. The Hydrozirconation of model molecules indicated that the existence of an internal double bond in compounds with multiple double bonds was essential for chain cleavage. The chain-cleavage mechanism was proposed to involve Hydrozirconation of internal double bonds in PB chains and beta-alkyl elimination. Furthermore, metallocene-catalyzed chain-scission by a chain-transfer reaction was developed. It is believed that the reported chain scission offers a promising pathway for end-group functionalization by chain cleavage and presents a new application of Schwartz's reagent.

  • synthesis of diverse well defined functional polymers based on Hydrozirconation and subsequent anti markovnikov halogenation of 1 2 polybutadiene
    Macromolecules, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jun Zheng, Zhijie Zhang, Guangchun Zhang, Lu Wang, Tao Tang
    Abstract:

    For the first time, Hydrozirconation and halogenolysis of 1,2-polybutadiene (1,2-PBD, by living anionic polymerization) were studied to synthesize reactive poly-halohydrocarbons, which provide a platform for preparing well-defined functional polymers via macromolecular substitution. Hrirozirconation and halogenolysis afforded quite convenience for anti-Markovnikov hydrohalogenation of 1,2-PBD with controllable degree of functionalization. Diverse functional polymers and branched polymers were synthesized after macromolecular substitution reaction with a broad range of commercially available nucleophiles (amines, phenols, alcohols, carbanions, carboxylates, and azide) or macromolecular nucleophiles. NMR and GPC characterizations confirmed high conversion in substitution reaction and narrow molecular weight distribution of the resultant functional polymers, respectively. The methodology utilizing Schwartz's reagent for Hydrozirconation of macromolecules could greatly facilitate the modification of vinyl groups containing polymers with high efficiency.
