At first, formation of cycles in commercial poly(Llactide)s is discussed and compared with benzyl alcoholinitiated polymerizations performed in this work. This comparison was extended to polymerizations initiated with 4-cyanophenol and pentafluorothiophenol which yielded cyclic polylactides via end-biting. The initiator/catalyst ratio and the acidity of the initiator were found to be decisive for the extent of cyclization. Further polymerizations of L-lactide were performed with various diphenols as initiators/co-catalysts. With most diphenols, cyclic polylactides were the main reaction products. Yet, only catechols yielded even-numbered cycles as main reaction products, a result which proves that their combination with SnOct2 catalyzed a ring-expansion polymerization (REP). The influence of temperature, time, co-catalyst, and catalyst concentrations was studied. Four different transesterification reactions yielding cycles were identified. For the cyclic poly(L-lactide)s weight average molecular weights (Mw’s) up to 120,000 were obtained, but 1H NMR end group analyses indicated that the extent of cyclization was slightly below 100%.
The influence of various parameters like structure of Initiator and catalyst and temperature on the formation of cyclic poly(Llactide)s has been investigated. Depending on the chosen conditions, the course of the polymerization can be varied from a process yielding exclusively linear polylactides to mainly cyclic polylactides. Three different reaction pathways for cyclization reactions have been identified.
Starting from dibutyltin oxide, four catalysts were synthesized, namely the dibutyltin bisphenoxides of Phenol (SnPh), 4-chlorophenol (SnCP), 4-hydroxybenzonitrile (SnCN) and pentafluorophenol (SnOPF). With the first three catalysts polymerizations of L-lactide at 160 °C in bulk yielded large fraction of linear chains having phenylester end groups at short reaction times. At longer times the fraction of cycles considerably increased at the expense of the linear chains, when SnCN was used as catalyst. With SnOPF only cyclic polylactides were obtained at low Lac/Cat ratios (< 400) with weight average molecular weights (Mw) up to 90 000 Da, whereas for high Lac/Cat ratios mixtures of cyclic and linear chains were found. Polymerizations in solution enabled variation of the molecular weight. Polymerizations of meso-lactide at temperatures down to 60 °C mainly yielded even-numbered linear chains supporting the postulated ROPPOC mechanism.
The purpose of this study is to shed more light on the transesterification processes in alcohol-initiated and tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate (SnOct2)-catalyzed polymerizations of lactides at low or moderate temperatures. Ethanol-initiated polymerizations are conducted in concentrated solutions at 80 °C and a strong dependence of even/odd equilibration on the alcohol/Sn ratio. Around or above 120 °C cyclization of poly(l-lactide) via “backbiting” occurs as a third mechanism. However, poly(m-lactide) shows a higher cyclization tendency and yields cyclics even at 100 °C. Combinations of ethanol and certain cyclic dibutyltin(IV) catalysts also yield cyclic oligomers of l-lactide at 80 °C. Reaction conditions allowing for a total suppression of all transesterification reactions are not found, but even-numbered poly(m-lactide)s with a purity >95% are obtained at 70 or 60 °C.
l-lactide or meso-lactide are polymerized either at 120 °C where the polymerization process of l-lactide is accompanied by crystallization, or at 180 °C where poly(l-lactide) remains in the molten state. Polymerizations at 120 °C initially yield even-numbered chains (with respect to lactic acid units) having relatively low dispersity, but the fraction of odd-numbered chains increases with time and the entire molecular weight distribution changes. Traces of cyclics are only formed after 7 d. Polymerizations at 180 °C yield equilibrium of even and odd-numbered chains from the beginning, but at low monomer/initiator ratios and short reaction times (<4 h) cyclics are again not formed. They appear at longer reaction times and entail higher dispersities. The results are discussed in terms of five different transesterification mechanisms.
Five new catalysts are prepared from dibutyltin oxide and catechol (HCa),
2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene (NaCa), 4-tert-butyl catechol (BuCa), 4-cyano
catechol (CyCa), and 4-benzoyl catechol (BzCa), but only BuCa gives useful
results. When benzyl alcohol is used as an initiator, linear chains having
benzyl ester end groups are formed in a slow polymerization process. In
contrast to cyclic or noncyclic dibutyltin bisalkoxides, neat BuCa yields
cyclic poly(l-lactide)s via a fast ring-expansion polymerization. Under certain
conditions, a high-melting crystalline phase (Tm = 191 °C) is obtained.
At 160 °C and short reaction times even-numbered cycles are slightly
prevailing, but, surprisingly, at 120 °C, odd-numbered cycles are predominantly
formed. These results definitely prove that a ring-expansion mechanism
is operating.
This study presents the synthesis and characterization of zwitterionic core–shell hybrid nanoparticles consisting of a core of iron oxide multicore nanoparticles (MCNPs, γ-Fe2O3) and a shell of sultonated poly(2-vinylpyridine-grad-acrylic acid) copolymers. The gradient copolymers are prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of 2-vinylpyridine (2VP), followed by the addition of tert-butyl acrylate and subsequent hydrolysis. Grafting of P(2VP-grad-AA) onto MCNP results in P(2VP-grad-AA)@MCNP, followed by quaternization using 1,3-propanesultone-leading to P(2VPS-grad-AA)@MCNP with a zwitterionic shell. The resulting particles are characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and thermogravimetric analysis measurements, showing particle diameters of ≈70–90 nm and an overall content of the copolymer shell of ≈10%. Turbidity measurements indicate increased stability toward secondary aggregation after coating if compared to the pristine MCNP and additional cytotoxicity tests do not reveal any significant influence on cell viability.
L-Lactides were polymerized in bulk at 120 or 160 °C with cyclic dibutyltin catalysts derived from 1,2-dimercaptoethane or 2-mercaptoethanol. Only linear chains having one benzyl ester and one OH-end group were obtained when benzyl alcohol was added. When L-lactides were polymerized with neat dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dithiolane, exclusively cyclic polylactides were formed even at 120 °C. The temperature, time and monomer/catalyst ratio (M/C) were varied. These results are best explained by a combination of ring-expansion polymerization and ring-extrusion of cyclic oligo- or polylactides with Elimination of the cyclic catalyst. Neither syntheses of linear polylactides nor of cyclic lactides involved racemization up to 20 h at 160 °C.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a well-implemented analytical technique for the investigation of complex biological samples. In MS, the sample preparation strategy is decisive for the success of the measurements. Here, sample preparation processes and target materials for the investigation of different pollen grains are compared. A reduced and optimized sample preparation process prior to MALDI-TOF measurement is presented using conductive carbon tape as target. The application of conductive tape yields in enhanced absolute signal intensities and mass spectral pattern information, which leads to a clear separation in subsequent pattern analysis. The results will be used to improve the taxonomic differentiation and identification, and might be useful for the development of a simple routine method to identify pollen based on mass spectrometry.
L-Lactide is polymerized in bulk at 160 8C either with dibutyltin bis(benzylmercaptide) (SnSBzl), dibutyltin bis(benzothiazole 2-mercaptide) (SnMBT), or with dibutyltin bis(pentafluorothiophenolate) (SnSPF) as catalysts. SnSBzl yields linear polylactides having benzylthio-ester end groups in addition to cyclic polylactides, whereas SnMBT and SnSPF mainly or exclusively yield cyclic polylactides. This finding, together with model reactions, indicates that the SnS catalysts promote a combined ring-opening polymerization and polycondensation process including end-to-end cyclization. SnMBT caused slight racemization (3%–5%), when used at 160 8C. With SnSPF optically pure cyclic poly(L-lactide)s with high-molecular weights can be prepared at 160 8C.
Two classes of polyesters were prepared by irreversible polycondensations.
The dependence of the dispersities on the experimental parameters such as synthetic method, chemical structure, molecular weight and initial monomer concentration was determined. At first it was demonstrated that it is essential for a correct calculation of Mn and Mw to include all oligomers down to the dimers in the evaluation of SEC curves. Furthermore, it was demonstrated for poly(e-caprolactone)s and polylactides that reversible polycondensations and ring-opening polymerizations with equilibration yield identical products.
Finally, the dependence of the dispersity on various experimental Parameters was determined for equilibrated poly(e-caprolactone)s and polylactides.
