摘要
The new generation of catalytic systems for Controlled/"Living" Radical Polymerization (CLRP) of vinyl monomers should be non-toxic, inexpensive and provide fast polymerizations in environmentally friendly media. Herein, we report the successful ambient temperature ATRP of several vinyl monomers (MA, n-BA, MMA and DMAEMA) catalyzed by inorganic sulfites (Na2S2O4 and Na2S2O5) and small amounts of a Cu(II)Br-2/Me6TREN system in alcohol water mixtures. The controlled character of ATRP of acrylates and methacrylates was confirmed by the linear increase of molecular weights with monomer conversion, narrow molecular weight distributions (M-w/M-n similar to 1.05) and by reinitiation experiments (copolymerization and chain extension). H-1 NMR and MALDI-TOF analyses confirmed the molecular structure and chain-end functionality of the obtained polymers. ATRP of MA using this novel catalytic system in alcohol water mixtures with multifunctional Br-based initiators provides 4 and 6 arm star polyacrylates in a controlled manner without any observable gel formation. The data presented open up the possibility of using fast ATRP catalyzed by inorganic sulfites (approved by FDA as food and beverage additives) in solvents that are inexpensive, eco-friendly and widely used in chemical industrial processes.
