Preparation of Microporous Organic Polymers via UV-Initiated Radical Copolymerization

Abstract

UV-initiated radical copolymerization has been successfully applied for the preparation of two kinds of microporous organic polymers (MOPs) based on divinylbenzene (DVB)/bismaleimide (BMI) monomers and DVB/pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PET4A). The obtained MOPs exhibit high BET surface areas and good CO2 storage performance. The maximum BET surface areas of DVB/BMI and DVB/PET4A are 585 and 887 m2 g–1, respectively. Furthermore, the ester groups embedded on the DVB/PET4A copolymer skeleton can be easily converted into carboxylic groups by hydrolysis and show superior adsorption capacity of 485 mg g–1 toward methylene blue dye. The adoption of this highly efficient polymerization strategy offers the possibility for the economical and continuous preparation of MOPs and demonstrates great potential for industrial application.

Effect of the Ratio of Acetylacetate Groups on the Properties of a Novel Plant-Based Dual-Cure Coating System

“…Similar results were reported by the Li group. 32,33 These FTIR and solid-state 13 C NMR results confirm the successful Michael addition reaction between the modified acetoacetylated castor oil and the bismaleimides.…”

Rapid Polymerization of Aromatic Vinyl Monomers to Porous Organic Polymers via Acid Catalysis at Mild Condition

“…The strong peaks at 127.3 and 137.2 ppm of PTVP‐1 can be corresponded to the phenyl carbon connected to the polymer chain and the aromatic carbon, respectively. The characteristic signals at 140.3 and 127.2 ppm are ascribed to the phenyl carbon and porphyrin ring . The elemental analysis was performed with a Thermo Flash 2000 analyzer.…”

“…The characteristic signals at 140.3 and 127.2 ppm are ascribed to the phenyl carbon and porphyrin ring. [20,58] The elemental analysis was performed with a Thermo Flash 2000 analyzer. The element analysis results of POPs are listed in the Table S1, Supporting Information.…”

Carbazole-functionalized hyper-cross-linked polymers for CO2 uptake based on Friedel–Crafts polymerization on 9-phenylcarbazole

“…HCPs get more attention in recent years due to their high BET specific surface area [1], made under mild reaction conditions [2], used nonprecious materials as catalyst [3] and wide applications [4–9], etc. The synthesis methods of HCPs include solvent knitting methods [10], Scholl coupling reaction [11], the knitting method with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal (FDA) [12], functional group reactions [2,13] and so on. Among these methods, the knitting method with FDA as external cross-linker is the most time-efficient approach [14].…”
