摘要

A rapid and highly efficient step-growth polymerization with reaction-enhanced reactivity of intermediate (RERI) mechanism based on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction was developed to achieve the (ultra)high-molecular-weight mainchain semifluorinated polymers with diverse chemical compositions under a stoichiometric imbalance condition.

Abstract

Achieving the linear polymers with high molecular weight,via,step-growth polymerization of A,2,and B,2,monomers is significantly limited by the requirement of strict stoichiometry of two monomers when the reactivity of A and B groups are not changed during the polymerization. Herein, a unique step-growth polymerization based on copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) with reaction-enhanced reactivity of intermediate (RERI) mechanism was developed for the preparation of mainchain semifluorinated polymers with high molecular weight. The CuAAC polymerization of bis-alkynyl-terminated fluorinated monomers (A,2,) and 2,2-bis(azidomethyl)propane-1,3-diyl bis(2-methylpropanoate) (BiAz, B,2,) with RERI effect at different stoichiometric ratio was systematically investigated. The results indicated that the semifluorinated polymers with ultrahigh molecular weight,M,w,MALLS,>,10,6,g/mol, could be efficiently synthesized by using excess molar of BiAz monomers. The resultant high-molecular-weight semifluorinated polymers show good thermostability and high hydrophobicity. In addition, the glass transition temperature (,T,g,) of these mainchain semifluorinated polymers could be tuned conveniently due to the bis-alkynyl-terminated comonomers could be consumed completely when excessive BiAz monomers were used in this this step-growth polymerization.
