Functionalization of styrenic polymer through acylation and grafting under microwave energy

Abstract: In this study, a new synthetic methodology for the functionalization of polystyrene (PS) has been developed, in which maleic anhydride was used in the presence of zinc oxide as catalyst and microwave energy was used as power source. A mechanism for the acylation reaction is proposed. The effect of reaction conditions on the degree of functionalization of PS was investigated. A subsequent reaction with diisopropyl fumarate/benzoyl peroxide was used to produce a graft copolymer. The polymers were identified and … Show more

“…The reported absorption bands of PMMA and other tested lithographic polymers are usually in the UV spectral regime363738. As previously reported293042434445, the intramolecular energy transfer, defect sites, microscopic molecular restructuring, or peroxidation can affect the polymers absorption band, allowing polymer molecules being possibly excited outside their main absorption bands.…”

“…S2). The reported absorption band of PMMA and PS is less than 350 nm3637, while the main absorption peak of SU-8 is also reported to be less than 350 nm with lower absorption in the visible range38. However, our results indicate that these polymers exhibit sparse blinking in the visible spectral range when excited by a 532-nm illumination beam.…”

“…[33][34][35][36] Tr aditionally,F riedel-Crafts alkylations or acylations on polymers result in significant broadening of the molecular-weight distribution (MWD) even at low amounts of functionalization as ac onsequence of chain scission caused by the harsh reaction conditions. [37] Recent studies have investigated alternative Lewis acids, [31] modified order of addition, [31] and used microwave conditions [38] to limit deleterious side reactions.…”

“…Üblicherweise führen Friedel‐Crafts‐Alkylierungen oder ‐Acylierungen an Polymeren selbst bei einem geringen Funktionalisierungsanteil zu einer erheblichen Verbreiterung der Molekulargewichtsverteilung (MWD, molecular weight distribution) infolge der durch harsche Reaktionsbedingungen verursachten Kettenspaltung . In aktuellen Versuchen wurden alternative Lewis‐Säuren erforscht, es wurde die Reihenfolge der Zugabe verändert, und es wurden Mikrowellenbedingungen angewendet, um nachteilige Nebenreaktionen zu beschränken.…”
