摘要

Abstract

Phosphazene base

-BuP

was employed to catalyze the proton transfer polymerization (PTP) of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA)

and PTP was further combined with ring-opening polymerization (ROP) to exploit a new type of hybrid copolymerization. The studies on homo-polymerization showed that

-BuP

was a particularly efficient catalyst for the polymerization of HEA at room temperature

giving an excellent monomer conversion. Throughout the polymerization

transesterification reactions were unavoidable

which increased the randomness in the structures of the resulting polymers. The studies on copolymerization showed that

-BuP

could simultaneously catalyze the hybrid copolymerization

via

the combination of PTP and ROP at 25 °C. During copolymerization

HEA not only provided hydroxyl groups to initiate the ROP of

-caprolactone (CL) but also participated in the polymerization as a monomer for PTP. The copolymer composition was approximately equal to the feed ratio

demonstrating the possibility to adjust the polymeric structure by simply changing the monomer feed ratio. This copolymerization reaction provides a simple method for synthesizing degradable functional copolymers from commercially available materials. Hence

it is important not only in polymer chemistry but also in environmental and biomedical engineering.
