Intra- and Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding in Miscible Blends of CO2/Epoxy Cyclohexene Copolymer with Poly(Vinyl Phenol). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137018. [PMID: 35806022 PMCID: PMC9266814 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, we synthesized a poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC) through alternative ring-opening copolymerization of CO2 with cyclohexene oxide (CHO) mediated by a binary LZn2OAc2 catalyst at a mild temperature. A two-dimensional Fourier transform infrared (2D FTIR) spectroscopy indicated that strong intramolecular [C–H···O=C] hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) occurred in the PCHC copolymer, thereby weakening its intermolecular interactions and making it difficult to form miscible blends with other polymers. Nevertheless, blends of PCHC with poly(vinyl phenol) (PVPh), a strong hydrogen bond donor, were miscible because intermolecular H-bonding formed between the PCHC C=O units and the PVPh OH units, as evidenced through solid state NMR and one-dimensional and 2D FTIR spectroscopic analyses. Because the intermolecular H-bonding in the PCHC/PVPh binary blends were relatively weak, a negative deviation from linearity occurred in the glass transition temperatures (Tg). We measured a single proton spin-lattice relaxation time from solid state NMR spectra recorded in the rotating frame [T1ρ(H)], indicating full miscibility on the order of 2–3 nm; nevertheless, the relaxation time exhibited a positive deviation from linearity, indicating that the hydrogen bonding interactions were weak, and that the flexibility of the main chain was possibly responsible for the negative deviation in the values of Tg.

Abstract
Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with branched structure has abundant terminal groups, high melt strength, good rheological properties, and excellent processability; it is a new research and application direction of PLA materials. This study mainly summarizes the molecular structure design, preparation methods, basic properties of branched PLA, and its application in modified PLA materials. The structure and properties of branched PLA prepared by ring-opening polymerization of monomer, functional group polycondensation, and chain extender in the processing process were introduced. The research progress of in situ formation of branched PLA by initiators, multifunctional monomers/additives through dynamic vulcanization, and irradiation induction was described. The effect of branched PLA on the structure and properties of linear PLA materials was analyzed. The role of branched PLA in improving the crystallization behavior, phase morphology, foaming properties, and mechanical properties of linear PLA materials was discussed. At the same time, its research progress in biomedicine and tissue engineering was analyzed. Branched PLA has excellent compatibility with PLA, which has important research value in regulating the structure and properties of PLA materials.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:3374. [PMID: 34641191 PMCID: PMC8512580 DOI: 10.3390/polym13193374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Revised: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, a novel poly (methylenelactide-g-L-lactide), P(MLA-g-LLA) graft copolymer was synthesized from poly(methylenelactide) (PMLA) and L-lactide (LLA) using 0.03 mol% liquid tin(II) n-butoxide (Sn(OnBu)2) as an initiator by a combination of vinyl addition and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) at 120 °C for 72 h. Proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H- and 13C-NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the grafted structure of P(MLA-g-LLA). The P(MLA-g-LLA) melting temperatures (Tm) range of 144-164 °C, which was lower than that of PLA (170-180 °C), while the thermal decomposition temperature (Td) of around 314-335 °C was higher than that of PLA (approx. 300 °C). These results indicated that the grafting reaction could widen the melt processing range of PLA and in doing so increase PLA's thermal stability during melt processing. The graft copolymers were obtained with weight-average molecular weights (M¯w) = 4200-11,000 g mol-1 and a narrow dispersity (Đ = 1.1-1.4).
