One-pot sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization and acyclic diene metathesis polymerization synthesis of unsaturated block polyphosphoesters
2015
A novel divergent approach is presented for the one-pot synthesis of unsaturated block polyphosphoester (PPE) structures by a sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization. A linear functional PPE bearing one or two terminal acrylate groups is fi rst prepared through the third generation Grubbs catalystmediated ROMP of seven-membered cyclic phosphate monomer, in the presence of a symmetrical multifunctional terminating agent or chain transfer agent. The functional PPE is then utilized as a selective macromolecular chain stopper in subsequent ADMET polymerization of phosphoester functional asymmetric α,ω-diene monomer, yielding unsaturated block PPEs. The thermal properties of block PPEs are studied and their thermal degradation and fl ame-retardant properties are evaluated. Furthermore, the prepared block PPEs can spontaneously selfassemble in a selective solvent to form polymeric micelles, which are characterized in detail by dynamic light scattering, atom force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy analyses.
