摘要

Random and block copolymers of 2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether (MOVE) and 2-ethoxyethyl vinyl ether (EOVE) was successfully synthesized within only 180 s in microflow system. Both copolymers showed smart responses towards temperature change with random copolymer behave in a more sensitive way.

Abstract

Random and block copolymers of 2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether (MOVE) and 2-ethoxyethyl vinyl ether (EOVE) were synthesized within 180 s

via

IBVE-HCl/SnCl

initiating system in the presence of THF in a microflow system. The polymers can be produced continuously and efficiently with extremely narrow molecular weight distributions (

=1.09−1.18) even at the existence of pendant oxyethylene units. Polymerization rate can be accelerated by reducing THF to very low concentration ([THF]=50 mmol/L)

reaching conversions over 60% and 70% in 60 s for EOVE and MOVE

respectively. Random copolymers poly(MOVE
