Hyperbranched aliphatic polyethers obtained from environmentally benign monomer: glycerol carbonate

Abstract: A hyperbranched aliphatic polyether with hydroxyl end groups was produced from glycerol carbonate (4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one)-the benign monomer obtained from renewable starting materials: glycerol and dimethyl carbonate. Anionic polymerization of glycerol carbonate, which proceeds with simultaneous decarboxylation, was performed using partially deprotonated trimethylolpropane (TMP) as an initiator. Pendant hydroxyl groups facilitate the ring-opening multibranching polymerization leading to a hyperbra… Show more

“…The chemical shift of central hydrogen was observed in the spectrum of triacetin, 20,21 and it was attributed to hydrogen connected to secondary carbon for glycerol carbonate. The same displacement was observed in simulate structures.…”

“…Also, one can see that these two parameters were manifested in the obtained strengths values. The degree of branching of the polyglycerols has been neglected in this discussion, since it is assumed to be close to ~ 0.5 for high conversion degrees (Rokicki et al 2005). …”

“…Besides the use of glycidol, the environmentally benign monomer glycerol carbonate (4-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-one) was also used in ROMBP to generate hbPG (M n ¼ 800-1100 g mol À1 , M w /M n < 1.3), which is formed under decarboxylation. 76 In another work, the microwave-assisted polymerization of glycerol carbonate only led to the formation of PG oligomers. 77 To sum up, almost 90 years after the first reported ''polymerization'' of glycidol, the synthesis of hbPG by ROMBP using the slow monomer-addition (SMA) technique and other methods has become a versatile method for the synthesis of these hyperbranched polyether polyols with control over molecular weight, polydispersity, and DB.…”
