摘要: ATRP, as one of the most successful controlled/"living" radical polymerization techniques, has been applied to a large variety of monomers including styrenes, (meth)acrylates, (meth)acrylamides, acrylonitrile, and vinyl acetate. However, ATRP of isoprene still remains a challenge due to poor solubility of copper catalysts in isoprene and low chain propagation rate constant of the monomer. In this work, CuBr/2,2'-bipyridine was found to effectively mediate ATRP of isoprene at 100 ℃, 130 ℃, and 150 ℃ with ethyl 2-bromopropionate as an initiator. The polymerizations proceeded smoothly and reached 48.1%, 53.3%, and 71.0% conversions, respectively, in 72 h, producing polyisoprenes with molecular weights close to theoretical values and relatively narrow distributions. A block copolymer of polystyrene-bpolyisoprene was prepared using CuBr/2,2''-bipyridine as a catalyst and polystyrene as amacroinitiator. The 1H NMR and 13C NMR analysis of polyisoprene indicated that the polymer had 88.8% 1,4-addition structure and 63.9% of the polymer backbone units were in trans-configuration.
