Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new radical polymerization process in miniemulsion giving access to polymers with reactivable chain ends, usable in particular for the preparation of block copolymers.
- Emulsion polymerization is the most developed polymerization process at present on an industrial scale.
- the best known products are styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylic latexes, and vinyl acetate.
- a standard process for radical emulsion polymerization involves the following compounds: water, a monomer or a mixture of monomers, at least one surfactant, an initiator and optionally polymerization additives (transfer agents, salts).
- the monomers are distributed as follows:
- the reaction begins with the creation of radicals in the aqueous phase, resulting from the decomposition of the water-soluble initiator. These radicals initiate chains which propagate in the aqueous phase, until reaching a critical size at which these chains precipitate and nucleate a particle.
- the very low specific surface area of the droplets combined with their number makes their nucleation improbable compared to that of the micelles. Most of the nucleation takes place in swollen micelles of monomers, which are nucleated into polymer particles. The supply of particles with monomers is therefore ensured by the droplets, which act as a reservoir of monomers which diffuses towards the polymerization sites.
- the particle size distributions are generally wide, which makes it possible to envisage the preparation of latex with very high solids content (superior to the conventional emulsion process - Masa et al. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 48, 205 (1993)). It has also been shown that the miniemulsion has a clear advantage for controlling the particle size during polymerization processes in CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors) reactors (Aizpurua et al. Macromol. Symp. 111, 121 (1996)).
- CSTR Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors
- Specific radical polymerization processes have recently been developed, in which the polymer chains produced are functionalized by terminal groups capable of being able to be reactivated in the form of free radicals by means of reversible termination or transfer reactions.
- This specific type of radical polymerization is generally designated by the term of "controlled” or "living” radical polymerization.
- These names come from the fact that the presence of the reactivable end groups described above induces the existence of equilibria between functionalized species (called “dormant” species) and active species (free radicals), which allows both controlling the growth of polymer chains (obtaining tight mass distributions and controlling the average molecular mass, in particular by playing on the molar ratio of monomer / precursor of active chains) and of obtaining functionalized polymers, known as "living” polymers, capable of 'be used as reactivatable species in subsequent radical polymerization reactions, which is particularly advantageous in the context of the preparation of block copolymers.
- Controlled radical polymerization can make it possible to present the following distinctive aspects:
- the average molecular weight is controlled by the monomer / chain precursor molar ratio
- control agents via a reversible termination reaction such as nitroxide precursors according to the teaching of patent application WO 99/03894 or the organometallic complex in the oxidized state in ATRP technology (Radical Polymerization by Transfer atom) according to the teaching of application WO 96/30421, can be distributed between the organic phase and the aqueous medium. If too large a proportion of deactivator is present in the aqueous phase, reversible termination reactions take place there. The main consequence is the decrease in the rate of polymerization. A lack of control agent in the effective place of polymerization, namely the particles, causes a loss of control of the reaction. The main result is a widening of the molecular weight distribution. In addition, from a kinetic point of view, the nitroxide and ATRP technologies are penalized in an approach in a dispersed medium. This results in very slow polymerizations. Nitroxide technology has been implemented in conventional emulsion
- the distribution of the catalyst between the aqueous phase and the organic phase is mainly determined by the nature of the ligand. It has been demonstrated that the ligand must be sufficiently hydrophobic to provide a minimum of catalyst in the organic phase. On the contrary, if the complex becomes too hydrophobic, the diffusion of the catalyst through the aqueous phase becomes too slow, which has the effect of altering the quality of the polymerization control. To maintain the copper catalyst in the particles, Matyjaszewski et al. (Journal of Polymer Science, vol. 38, 4724 (2000) had a miniemulsion approach.
- a major drawback of this system is the fact that it can use only nonionic surfactants, more and more in very large quantities (more than 10% compared to the monomers in conventional procedures).
- Reversible transfer systems are more favorable, kinetically on the one hand, but especially due to the creation of macro-control agents (polymer chains), once the first transfer reaction has been carried out between the control agent initial and a growing radical in the organic phase. This situation prevents any exit of the control agent thus created from the particle.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a new process implemented in a miniemulsion making it possible to obtain high polymer yields.
- a second object of the invention is to propose a process for the synthesis by radical polymerization of block polymers, in particular triblocks, with lower polydispersity index than for a standard emulsion process using the same reagents.
- a third aim is to propose a radical polymerization process which is easy to carry out and of low cost.
- the process according to the invention has the advantage of being able to prepare triblock polymers in a dispersed medium easily and efficiently.
- polymer in the broad sense, both homopolymers as well as copolymers.
- block copolymer (or “block copolymer”) a copolymer comprising at least two successive sequences (blocks) of monomer units of different chemical constitutions.
- Each of the blocks present can consist of a homopolymer or a copolymer obtained from a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
- the block can in particular be a random copolymer.
- Block copolymers within the meaning of the invention can thus comprising two blocks each made up of random copolymers.
- the ethylenically unsaturated monomers are such that the blocks obtained are of different natures.
- blocks of different natures is meant either blocks made up of monomers of different types, or blocks made up of monomers of the same type but in different quantities.
- control agents which can therefore be used for preparing the polymer (s)
- R 2 and R 3 identical or different, represent:
- . -S-R ⁇ an optionally substituted alkyl, acyl, aryl, aralkyl or alkyne radical, . a carbonaceous cycie or a heterocycle, saturated or not, aromatic, optionally substituted,
- R 2 and R 3 together can represent the atoms necessary to form a carbon ring or a heterocycle, saturated or not, aromatic, optionally substituted, and p is between 2 and 10.
- the groups Ri, R 2 and R 3 when substituted, may be substituted by substituted phenyl groups, substituted aromatic groups, saturated or unsaturated carbon rings, saturated or unsaturated heterocycles, or groups: aikoxycarbonyl or aryloxycarbonyl (-COOR), carboxy (- COOH), acyloxy (-O2CR), carbamoyl (-CONR2), cyano (-CN), alkylcarbonyl, alkylarylcarbonyl, arylcarbonyl, arylalkylcarbonyl, phthalimido, maleimido, succinimido, amidino, guanidimo, hydroxy (- OH), amino (-NR2), halogen, perfluoroalkyl C n F 2n + ⁇ , allyl, epoxy, alkoxy (-OR), S-alkyl, S-aryl, groups having a hydrophilic or ionic character such as alkali salts carboxylic acids, alkali salts,
- R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, preferably substituted.
- the compounds of formulas (B) useful, as control agents for preparing the first generation polymers are for example the compounds in which Ri is chosen from: - CH (CH3) (C02Et)
