Degradable Alternating Copolymers by Radical Copolymerization of 2-Methylen-1,3-dioxepane and Crotonate Esters. ACS Macro Lett 2024; 13:368-374.

Abstract
Producing backbone degradable copolymers via free-radical copolymerization is a promising, yet challenging method to develop more sustainable materials for many applications. In this work, we present the copolymerization of 2-methylen-1,3-dioxepane (MDO) with crotonic acid derivative esters. MDO can copolymerize by radical ring-opening polymerization incorporating degradable ester moieties in the polymer backbone, although this can often be difficult due to the very unfavorable reactivity ratios. Crotonic acid derivatives, on the other hand, can be easily produced completely from biomass but are typically very difficult to (co)polymerize due to low propagation rates and very unfavorable reactivity ratios. Herein, we present the surprisingly easy copolymerization between MDO and butyl crotonate (BCr), which shows the ability to form alternating copolymers. The alternating nature of the copolymer was characterized by MALDI-TOF and supported by the reactivity ratios calculated experimentally (rMDO = 0.105 and rBCr = 0.017). The alternating nature of the copolymers favored the degradability that could be achieved under basic conditions (in 2 h, all chains have molar masses smaller than 2 kg/mol). Last, the work was expanded to other crotonate monomers to expand the portfolio and show the potential of this copolymer family.

Abstract
The environmental impact of plastic waste has been a real problem for the past decades. The incorporation of cleavable bonds in the polymer backbone is a solution to making a commodity polymer degradable. When radical polymerization is used, this approach is made possible by radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) of a cyclic monomer that allows for the introduction of a weak bond into the polymer backbone. Among the various cyclic monomers that could be used in rROP, thionolactones are promising structures due to the efficiency of the C═S bond to act as a radical acceptor. Nevertheless, only a few structures were reported to be efficient. In this work, we used DFT calculations to gain a better understanding of the radical reactivity of thionolactones, and in particular, we focused on the transfer rate constant ktr value and its ratio with the propagation rate constant kp of the vinyl monomer. The closer to 1, the better is the statistical incorporation of the two comonomers into the backbone. These theoretical results were in good agreement with all of the experimental data reported in the literature. We thus used this approach to understand the key parameters to tune the reactivity of thionolactone to prepare random copolymers. We identified and prepared the 7-phenyloxepane-2-thione (POT) thionolactone that led to statistical copolymers with styrene and acrylate derivatives that were efficiently degraded under accelerated conditions (KOH in THF/MeOH, TBD in THF, or mCPBA in THF), confirming the theoretical approach. The compatibility with RAFT polymerization as well as the homopolymerization behavior of POT was established. This theoretical approach paves the way for the in-silico design of new efficient thionolactones for rROP.

Abstract
Radical Ring-opening polymerization (RROP) of cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) emerges to be a valuable polymerization technique. In attracting more attention, RROP has seen a new spike in publications, which the authors will put into perspective. This review will hence address the progress made on the number of available CKAs and the synthetic strategies to get them. In grouping, the available monomers into distinct categories, the enormous variety of available CKAs will be highlighted. Polymerizations of CKAs without vinylenes have the potential to yield fully biodegradable polymers, which is why this kind of polymerization is the focus of this review. Detailing the current understanding of the mechanism, the various side reactions will be noted and also their effect on the overall properties of the final polymers. Current attempts to control the ring-retaining and branching reactions will be discussed as well. In addition to the polymerization itself, the available materials will be discussed as well as homopolymers, copolymers of CKAs, and block-copolymers with pure CKA-blocks have significantly widened the range of possible applications of materials from RROP. Altogether this review highlights the progress in the entire field of RROP just of CKAs to give a holistic overview of the field.

Abstract
We report a novel method to synthesize degradable poly(vinyl ether)s with cleavable thioacetal bonds periodically arranged in the main chains using controlled cationic copolymerization of vinyl ethers with a 7-membered cyclic thioacetal (7-CTA) via degenerative chain transfer (DT) to the internal thioacetal bonds. The thioacetal bonds, which are introduced into the main chain by cationic ring-opening copolymerization of 7-CTA with vinyl ethers, serve as in-chain dormant species to allow homogeneous propagation of vinyl ethers for all internal segments to afford copolymers with controlled overall and segmental molecular weights. The obtained polymers can be degraded into low- and controlled-molecular-weight polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions via hydrolysis. Various vinyl ethers with hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and functional pendants are available. Finally, one-pot synthesis of multiblock copolymers and their degradation into diblock copolymers are also achieved.

Abstract
p-Phenylenediamine (p-PDA) is a monomer of many important polymers such as kevlar, twaron, poly-p-PDA. Most of the noticed polymers formation is initiated by a free-radical, but their polymerization mechanism is not elucidated computationally. The proposed study helps to fully understand the frequently utilized initiator/oxidant, potassium persulfate (K2 S2 O8 ) role in the aromatic diamines polymerization, which support experimental protocols, and a polymer scope. The formation of the poly-p-PDA is studied with the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP-D3 functional using experimental polymerization parameters (0°C and aqueous media). K2 S2 O8 initiated free-radical polymerization of p-PDA is studied in detail, taking into account sulfate free-radical (SO4 - )· , SFR, persulfate anion (S2 O8 )2- , PA and K2 S2 O8 cluster, PP. The reaction mechanism is calculated as the conversion of p-PDA to free-radical, the p-PDA free-radical attack to the next p-PDA (dimerization), ammonia extrusion from the dimer adduct, the dimer adduct conversion to the free-radical (completion of p-PDA polymerization cycle) for the polymer chain elongation. Calculations show that the dimerization step is the rate-limiting step with a 29.2 kcal/mol energy barrier when SFR initiates polymerization. In contrast, the PA-assisted dimerization energy barrier is only 12.7 kcal/mol. PP supported polymerization is calculated to have very shallow energy barriers completing the polymerization cycle, i.e., dimerization (TS2K, ∆G‡ = 11.6 kcal/mol) and ammonia extrusion (TS3K, ∆G‡ = 6.7 kcal/mol).

Abstract
This work deals with syntheses of backbone-degradable polymers via the radical copolymerization of pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFMA) with 5,6-benzo-2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane (BMDO), which undergoes ring-opening propagation to afford an ester-bonded backbone. The combination of the electron-deficient methacrylate with the electron-rich cyclic monomer allowed high crossover copolymerization, and the electronic effect was clarified by the comparison with the copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and BMDO. The PFMA units of the resultant copolymer underwent quantitative alcoholysis or aminolysis transformation into methacrylate or methacrylamide units along with the pendant functionalization. The alternating-rich sequence was achieved by feeding an excess ratio of BMDO, which was supported by MALDI-TOF-MS of the copolymer obtained by the RAFT copolymerization. The methanolysis-transformed copolymer carrying MMA units was decomposed under basic condition, and the degradation efficiency was superior to that of the copolymer obtained via radical copolymerization of MMA with BMDO because of the alternating-rich sequence.
