Abstract:

Polystrene-Polymethyl acrylate-Polystyrene tri-block copolymer (PS-PMA-PS) was synthesized by modified atom transfer radical polymerization. Using CuCl/α,α'-Bipyridyl complex as catalyst, initiated by 1-PECl,styrene was first polymerized at 130℃. Then using the product as macroinitiator, the di-block (PS-PMA) copolymer were obtained. Meanwhile the tri-block copolymer has also been prepared after adding styrene and actone/l-propanol into the reaction system. PS-PMA-PS was characterized by 1H-NMR and GPC techniques. The results show that the molecular weight distribution of the tri-block copolymer is narrow (MwMn=1.19) as the conversion of monomer is around 70-85%. The molecular weight of the block is in good agreement with designed value. The NMR testified the structure of PS-PAA-PS which was obtained by hydrolyzing PS-PMA-PS.
