摘要

Abstract

We report here a method for the preparation of amphiphilic dendrimer-like copolymers with dendritic polystyrene (PS) core and protonated poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP) or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) shell. The method employed the efficient coupling reaction of anionic living polymer chains and chlorosilane. The synthesis started from a functionalized 3

generation dendritic polystyrene

G3PS-

-SiCl

used as the precursor. The dendrimer-like copolymer of styrene and 2-vinyl pyridine

G3PS-

-P2VP

was synthesized by direct coupling of living P2VPLi to the precursor. The dendrimer-like copolymer of styrene and

tert

-butyl methacrylate

G3PS-

-P

BMA

was synthesized by an indirect procedure in which a living polymer containing mainly P

BMA segment was attached to the precursor. Both methods resulted in the formation of dendrimer-like copolymers with the high molecular weights (up to 8.5 × 10

Da)

large molecular sizes (diameter up to 73 nm)

and dense shells (number of arms up to 1300). These products

G3PS-

-P2VP and G3PS-

-P

BMA

were protonated with trifluoroacetic acid and acidic hydrolyzed

respectively. After transformation

amphiphilic dendrimer-like copolymers

G3PS-

-P2VPH

and G3PS-

-PMAA

were obtained. Preliminary results on the solution properties of the amphiphilic products were presented.
