Polymerization reactions of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS) were carried out by different catalysts, potassium hydroxide, potassium tertbutoxide, and tetraphenylporphyrin aluminum chloride (TPP-AlCl), and tetrafluorophthalate zironium isopropoxide complex. Polymer samples obtained from the ringopening polymerization of GPTS were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography.
Complexation reactions of titanium tetraethoxide [Ti(OEt) 4 ] and titanium tetra-n-butoxide [Ti(OBu n ) 4 ] with 3-pentenoic acid (PA) and allylacetoacetate (AAA), in a 1 : 1M ratio, were studied in ethanol solution at room temperature.13 C-NMR and FTIR spectra showed that all PA and AAA completely reacted with both titanium alkoxides. Hydridosilane compounds such as triethoxysilane and triethylsilane were added to titanium chelate complexes in a 1 : 1M ratio. The investigation of products by 13 C-and 29 Si-NMR and FTIR showed additions of -SiH to the CAC double bond. The hydrolysis of titanium-PA and AAA complexes, by water in 1 : 4 ratios, resulted in released PA in an amount of 10% and AAA of 20%. The stability of hydrolyzed products was investigated by 13 C-NMR, 29 Si-NMR, and FTIR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
