Poly(ether sulfone)s were prepared by polycondensation of silylated 4-tert-butylcatechol and 4,4?-difluorodiphenylsulfone in N-methylpyrrolidone. The feed ratio and the reaction time were varied to study the influence of stoichiometry and conversion on molecular weight and extent of cyclization. Molecular weights and molecular weight distributions (MWD)s were characterized by SEC measurements calibrated with polystyrene. Light scattering confirmed that calibration with polystyrene gives reasonable results and revealed a tendency towards a bimodal MWD for the samples rich in cycles. The MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry indicated that the extent of cyclization increased with higher conversion and with optimization of the stoichiometry. This interpretation was confirmed by 1H NMR endgroup analyses. For the samples with the highest molar masses only mass peaks of cycles were found, which were detectable up to 20 000 Da before and up to 27 000 Da after fractionation. Via the pseudo-high dilution method low molar mass poly(ether sulfone) containing more than 95 mol% of cycles were prepared, and even these low molar mass samples had broad MWDs. DSC measurements indicated that the glass transition temperatures depend on the structure of the endgroups and increase with higher fractions of cycles.
3,5-Bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)phenol was polycondensed under various reaction conditions. Low molecular weights were obtained (Mn < 8000 Da), and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry indicated that the chain growth was limited by cyclization. In the best mass spectra the cyclic, hyperbranched poly(ether ketone)s were detectable up to masses around 14 000 Da. When 4,4'-difluordiphenyl sulfone was added, star-shaped polymers having a diphenyl sulfone star center were formed, but cyclization was not completely suppressed. The results were compared to those obtained from "linear polycondensations" based on 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (DFBP) and 4-tert-butylcatechol or bisphenol A. The poly(ether ketone)s of DFBP had also low molecular weights and contained high fractions of cycles. It is concluded that also in the case of hyperbranched polymers cyclization competes with propagation at any stage of the polycondensation at any concentration. Therefore, the fundamental trend of any "abn" polycondensation is the formation of star-shaped polymers having a cyclic core and hyperbranched star arms.
Hydrolytic condensation of different methacrylate groups containing alkoxy silanes yielded resins which showed interesting properties as a matrix for dental composites. For this purpose, resins of low viscosity are desired resulting in composites with a high amount of inorganic fillers. Our investigations demonstrated that the viscosity of the obtained polycondensates was predominantly influenced by the kind of organic spacer between the methacrylate group and the silicon atom. In addition, the viscosity also significantly changed in dependence of the kind of structure units built. NMR spectroscopic investigations as well as size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry showed that the formed structures depended both on the kind of catalyst used for hydrolysis/condensation and the bulkiness of the organic substituent at the silicon atom.
