Polymerization of epoxide with hydroxylamides as thermally latent initiators

Abstract

A new class of thermally latent initiators for the ring‐opening polymerization of epoxides has been developed. The latent initiators developed herein were the hydroxylamides 1a, 1b, and 1c, which were synthesized from phthalide, 3‐isochromanone, and cis‐cyclohexahydrophthalide, respectively, by their ring‐opening reactions with pyrrolidine. These hydroxylamides were designed so that their hydroxyl groups could attack the amide moiety intramolecularly upon heating, leading to ring closure and formation of the corresponding lactones while releasing pyrrolidine, the initiator for the anionic ring‐opening polymerization of an epoxide. The temperatures at which this thermal dissociation occurred were strongly dependent on the hydroxylamide molecular structure. When using the hydroxylamides as thermally latent initiators, the polymerizations of bisphenol‐A diglycidyl ether were investigated at various temperatures. This investigation clarified that the threshold temperature, that is, the temperature at which polymerization was initiated, increased in the order of 1a, 1b, and then 1c. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of crosslinked PEG/IL blend membrane via one‐pot thiol–ene/epoxy chemistry

“…Epoxy resins, or called polyepoxides, are a class of polymers formed by monomers or oligomers containing epoxy groups, usually with the presence of crosslinkers, such as amines. The excellent chemical and thermal resistance, good mechanical properties, and notable adhesion of epoxy resins allow them to play important roles in various industrial applications, such as coating, reinforcement, and adhesives . Recently, several groups have expanded these materials to gas separation, especially as CO 2 separation membranes, thanks to the facile and rapid crosslinking, tunable chemical structure and the presence of secondary amines .…”

Temperature-Dependent Enhancement Effects for TBD (1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene) with 2-Methylimidazole-Intercalated α-Zirconium Phosphate as a Latent Thermal Initiator in the Reaction of Glycidyl Phenyl Ether

“…There has been considerable interest in the development of latent polymerization catalysts and initiators that are inert in monomer or prepolymer systems under typical storage conditions. Latent thermal initiators must remain inactive under storage conditions, but show high activity at specific temperatures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Latent thermal initiators are used in adhesives, sealing agents, electrical devices, paints, and composite materials.…”
