摘要:
A free-radical polymerization process for making macromonomers having the structure: comprising contacting: (a) CH2═CHY; (b) optionally, CH2═CXB; and (c) free-radicals, produced from a free-radical source; in which B, U, X, Y, Z, m, n and p are defined in the text; macromonomer quality being controlled by adjusting one or more of the following variables: molar ratios of a, b and c; temperature; monomer concentration; and conversion.

A method of preparing polymer, the method comprising polymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers of formula (I) where U is selected from H, C1-C4 alkyl or halogen; V is halogen or of the form O-G where G is selected from —C(O)R1 and —R1, or V is of the form NGGa where G is as defined above and Ga is selected from H and R1, G and Ga form together with N a heterocyclic ring, or V is of the form CH2Gb where Gb is selected from H, R1, OH, OR1, NR12, PR12, P(O)R12, P(OR1)2, SR1, SOR1, and SO2R1; and where the or each R1 is independently selected from optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted arylalkyl, optionally substituted heteroarylalkyl, optionally substituted alkylaryl, optionally substituted alkylheteroaryl, and an optionally substituted polymer chain, under the control of a RAFT agent of formula (II) or (III), where Y is a Lewis base moiety and Y* is an n-valent Lewis base moiety; X is O or NR1, R1 is as defined above or forms together with Y or Y* and N a heterocyclic ring; m is an integer ≧1; n is an integer ≧2; and where R* is a m-valent radical leaving group that affords R*. which initiates free radical polymerization of the one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers of formula (I), and R is a free radical leaving group that affords R. which initiates free radical polymerization of the one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers of formula (I).

A free radical polymerization process suitable for synthesizingpolymers is disclosed. The process utilizes novel sulfur based chain transfer agents and is widely compatible over a range of monomers and reaction conditions. Novel polymers having low pollydispersity and predictable specific polymer architecture and molecular weight are produced by the process. The polymers produced by the process are suitable for use as binders in automotive OEM and refinish coatings.

摘要:
The invention provides in one aspect a process for preparing a microgel by RAFT polymerizing in the presence of a RAFT chain transfer agent, one or more solvophobic monomers and one or more solvophilic monomers to form one or more block copolymers comprising one or more solvophobic blocks and one or more solvophilic blocks wherein the solvophobic block is insoluble in a dispersing medium and the solvophilic block is soluble in the dispersing medium. The block copolymer is dispersed in the dispersing medium to form micelles, which is then stabilized to form the microgel. The dispersing medium can be aqueous or lipophilic. The method of the present invention also permits one to encapsulate a wide variety of materials, such as pigments, dye molecules, and aluminum flakes used in metallized paints.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for continuously preparing polymer by RAFT solution polymerization, the process comprising: introducing into a flow reactor a reaction solution comprising one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers, RAFT agent, non-reactive solvent and free radical initiator; and promoting RAFT polymerization of the one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers within the reactor so as to form a polymer solution that flows out of the reactor.
