Preparation of amphiphilic graft copolymer with polyisoprene backbone by combination of anionic polymerization and "click" reaction
A novel graft copolymer consisting of polyisoprene backbone and hydrophilic side chain with carbamic acid ester functional group was prepared via thiol-ene"click"reaction and alcohol-isocyanate reactions.Polyisoprene was synthesized by anionic polymerization using n-butyl lithium as initiator,and th...

Summary: | A novel graft copolymer consisting of polyisoprene backbone and hydrophilic side chain with carbamic acid ester functional group was prepared via thiol-ene"click"reaction and alcohol-isocyanate reactions.Polyisoprene was synthesized by anionic polymerization using n-butyl lithium as initiator,and the pendant hydroxyl groups were introduced by the thiol-ene reaction of mercaptoethanol with the double bond of 1,2-addition units of PI backbone in the presence of radical initiator azobisisobutyronitrile. Isocyanate end group capped poly(ethylene glycol)(mPEG-NCO) was grafted onto the PI backbone through alcoholisocyanate reaction between the pendant hydroxyl groups and isocyanate group of mPEG-NCO.The structure of the graft copolymer were characterized and confirmed by means of size-exclusion chromatography,~1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. |
