Structural Control of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)-g-poly(Lactic Acid) Graft Copolymers by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP)

Abstract: Atom transfer radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and (meth)acrylateterminated poly(lactic acid) (PLA) macromonomers was investigated. The relative reactivity of methacrylate-terminated macromonomer (1/r MMA ) 1.75) and acrylate-terminated macromonomer (1/rMMA ) 0.61) was close to that of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, respectively. The difference in reactivity in ATRP and conventional radical polymerization is discussed in terms of the diffusion control effect. A mi… Show more

“…This radical can fragment either to an active chain radical (1) or a new radical resulting from the leaving group of the RAFTagent. These radicals can react with the monomer to form new propagation radicals (5). The equilibrium between the dormant polymeric RAFT species (6) and (7) and the P n .…”

“…combs [5], stars [6], block copolymers [7] or other architectures which are not readily synthesized using other methodologies) [8,9] with very narrow polydispersity indices. NMP and ATRP are reversible termination based polymerizations, whereas RAFT polymerizations achieve their controlled character with reversible chain transfer [10].…”

“…1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and 31 P NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance 400 NMR spectrophotometer (Billerica, MA), with DMSO-d 6 as the solvent. The thermal stability of the samples were measured by thermogravimetric analysis using Perkin-Elmer Instruments with a heating rate of 20°C per minute under a nitrogen atmosphere from 25°C to 900°C.…”

“…Compared with PHEMA (Supplementary Figure S1A), the 13 C NMR spectra of the PHEMA-PLA copolymer (Supplementary Figure S1B) show that the signals at about 160-175 ppm were attributed to the C=O group carbon peak of PLA. The signals at approximately 64 and 69 ppm were assigned to the -CH group carbon peak of the PLA moiety located at the terminal groups and repeat units in the chain.…”
