Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 60(10), С. 5489 - 5496

Опубликована: Ноя. 12, 2020

Abstract In this study, porphyrinic zirconium (Zr) MOFs were investigated as heterogeneous photocatalysts for photoinduced electron transfer‐reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (PET‐RAFT) polymerization of various monomers under a broad range wavelengths, producing polymers with high monomer conversions, narrow molecular weight distributions, low dispersity and good chain‐end fidelity. Screening Zr‐MOFs (Zn) containing Zn‐metalled ligands demonstrated that MOF‐525 the smallest size had best photocatalytic activity in PET‐RAFT polymerization, due to enhanced dispersion light penetration. Oxygen tolerance temporal control also during MOF catalysed PET‐RAFT. Results suggested rates significantly affected by changing surface area MOFs, could be easily separated recycled up five independent polymerizations without an obvious decrease efficiency. Finally, utilized create three‐dimensional polymeric objects resolution via visible mediated stereolithography open‐air environment.

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

In this review, we provide a brief history, progress, and applications, discuss the remaining challenges of photocontrolled reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization (i.e., photoinduced electron/energy transfer-RAFT (PET-RAFT), photoiniferter, photomediated cationic RAFT polymerization). Among these, visible-light-driven has attracted particular attention in recent years due to its benefits, including low energy consumption safe reaction procedure. Moreover, incorporation visible-light photocatalysis conferred attractive features, such as spatiotemporal control oxygen tolerance; however, clear understanding mechanism not been completely provided. We also present research efforts elucidate mechanisms with aid quantum chemical calculations combined experimental evidence. This review offers an insight into better design systems for desired applications helps realize full potential both academic- industrial-scale applications.

Abstract RAFT facilitated digital light projection 3D printing of polymeric materials provides a convenient and facile route for inducing post‐fabrication transformations via reactivation dormant chain transfer agents. In this work, we report the use Norrish type I photoinitiator in conjunction with agent to produce variety open‐air printable resins that rapidly cure under visible irradiation. The photoinitiator‐RAFT system polymerizes extremely quickly high build rates up 9.1 cm h −1 , representing 7‐fold increase compared previous mediated systems. printed containing thiocarbonylthio groups can be also produced using low concentrations divinyl comonomers initial resins, which has not been successfully achieved other photocontrolled polymerization techniques. Interestingly, inclusion agents significantly improves resolution formulations without agent, allowing fabrication intricate complex objects. Spatiotemporally controlled surface modifications objects from on material surfaces were performed one two‐pass configurations, multiple successive post‐printing same object.

Porous polymer membranes with highly interconnected open-cellular structure and high toughness are crucial for various application fields. Polymerized internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs), which usually exist as monoliths, possess the advantages of porosity good connectivity. However, it is difficult to prepare due brittleness easy pulverization. Copolymerizing acrylate soft monomers can effectively improve polyHIPEs, but cause emulsion instability pore collapse. In this paper, stable HIPEs a content butyl (41.7 mol% 75 based on monomers) be obtained by using composite emulsifier (30 wt.% consisting Span80/DDBSS (9/2 in molar ratio) adding 0.12 mol·L-1 CaCl2 according aqueous concentration.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 143(17), С. 6357 - 6362

Опубликована: Апрель 26, 2021

By virtue of spatiotemporal control over the chain propagating, visible-light-regulated organocatalytic photoredox cationic polymerization provides an appealing approach for construction metal-free, well-defined polymers and materials. However, so far, organic photocatalysts capable mediated vinyl ethers are quite limited, photocontrol or efficiency is often eroded due to difficulty in achieving a good activation–deactivation balance, which greatly dependent on redox property catalyst. Here, we introduce new type photocatalysts, bisphosphonium salts, show high performance photoregulated reversible addition–fragmentation transfer allow synthesis poly(vinyl ethers) with predictable molecular weights narrow dispersities at low ppm catalyst loadings under visible light. In particular, tunable potential excellent stability endow salts strict temporal control, thus enabling metal-free halt long dark period.
