AbstractCombinatorial chemistry and high-throughput experimentation have drawn great attention in recent years because of their significant advantages in increasing the research productivity. One of the emerging fields is their application in polymer science. Herein we describe the high-throughput optimization of purification conditions for polymers prepared via atom transfer radical polymerization using an automated synthesizer. The effects of the column materials, column lengths and eluent volumes on the purification efficiency as well as the molecular weights of the obtained purified polymers were systematically investigated for the first time. The optimum purification conditions for the removal of copper catalysts are provided. As a result an online high-throughput purification workflow using SPE cartridges is now available for the utilization in automated parallel synthesizers for ATRP screening experiment.

AbstractThe synthesis of imidazole end-capped poly(n-butyl methacrylate)s via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported. n-Butyl methacrylate (n- BMA) was polymerized in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) at different temperatures via ATRP using a new N-heterocyclic functional initiator (1-α-bromoisobutylimidazole, BrBI) in the presence of CuBr/2,2’-bipyridine (bpy) as the catalyst. With this new initiating system, a successful ATRP of n-BMA was carried out, and imidazole endcapped polymers with predetermined molecular weights and low polydispersities (1.1<PDI<1.3) were obtained at low polymerization temperature (below 80 °C). Furthermore, the dependence of both the rate of polymerization and PDI on temperature gave the optimal reaction temperature (50 °C). However, at elevated temperature (especially above 80 °C), some different phenomena appeared in the polymerization: the conversion of monomer remains constant after reaching a maximum value (20%-30%), and the higher the temperature, the lower the conversion obtained.

The Br-terminated poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO-Br) is used as a green and efficient macroinitiator in bulk Fe-catalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) without the addition of any organic ligands. The polymerization rate is able to be mediated by PEO-Br with various molecular weights, and the decrease in redox potential of FeBr2 in cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves indicates that an increased coordination effect is deteriorated with the depressing reaction activity in the longer ethylene oxide (EO) chain in PEO-Br. In combination with the study of different catalysts and catalytic contents, the methyl metharylate (MMA) or poly (ethylene glycol) monomethacrylate (PEGMA) was successfully polymerized with PEO-Br as an initiator. This copolymer obtained from PEGMA polymerization can be further employed as a polymer matrix to form the polymer electrolyte (PE). The higher ionic conductivity of PE was obtained by using a high molecular weight of copolymer.
