Chain transfer constant of VBSC was determined to be around 0.3 by fitting the 1H-NMR monitored experimental results with a mathematic model. According to the theoretical analysis, the obtained poIy（VBSC） and its copolymers were substantiated to have a grafting-like main chain with residual pendent sulfonyl chloride groups after consuming most of the vinyl groups. The copolymerization results of VBSC with styrene at varied feed ratios demonstrated that conversion of sulfonyl chloride groups was lower than that of the monomer, which was in agreement with the theoretical results. The glass transition temperature, number average molecular weight and distribution of those obtained polymers were primarily investigated. Comparing with other chain transfer monomers, VBSC has a chain transfer constant much closer to unity therefore a more branched polymer is expected. Additionally, the branched polystyrene with residual sulfonyl chloride groups is hopefully to be further used as ATRP macro- initiators or reactive intermediates to synthesize functional polymers with complex structure.展开更多

The ATRP of t butyl p vinyl benzoate ( t BVB) was studied kinetically. The results showed that t BVB can be polymerized in a controlled way by ATRP. It was found that the polymerization rate of t BVB is much faster than that of St, meaning that the electron withdrawing ester group affects the polymerization obviously. Well defined diblock copolymers of St and t BVB were prepared by using bromo terminated PBVBs as macroinitiators via ATRP. After removal of the t butyl group by hydrolysis, well defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers of styrene and p vinyl benzoic acid (PSt b PBVA) were obtained.展开更多
