Synthesis of Poly(vinyl pivalate) Telomer Through Telomerization of Vinyl Pivalate

Poly(vinyl pivalate)(PVPi) telomer containing bifunctional end groups was synthesized through radical telomerization of vinyl pivalate. The number-average molecular weight ($\bar{M}$n) of the synthesized telomers was investigated by GPC, $^1$H-NMR, and viscometric methods. PVPi telomers having a number-average molecular weight ($\bar{M}$n) of 2400~1300 g/mol were obtained. In order to control the molecular weight of telomers, chain transfer constants ($C_s$) of telogen ($CCl_4$) were determined by using the Mayo equation and simulation, which were 1.15, 1.16, and 1.18 at 40, 50, and 6$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. $\bar{M}$n of the synthesized telomers at 6$0^{\circ}C$ were between 5100 and 5400 g/mol at conversion of increasing from 18 to 72%. Those are corresponding to simulation results.

피발산 비닐의 텔로머화반응을 이용한 폴리(피발산 비닐) 텔로머 합성

피발산 비닐의 라디칼 텔로머화반응을 통하여 양 말단에 관능기를 포함한 폴리(피발산 비닐) 텔로머를 합성하였다. 합성된 텔로머의 수평균분자량 ($\bar{M}$n)은 GPC, $^1$H-NMR, 점도법 세가지로 각각 고찰하였고, 그 값은 2400~13000 g/mol 이었다. 또한, 텔로머의 분자량을 정밀제어하기 위하여 VPi에 대한 텔로겐($CCl_4$)의 연쇄이동상수값($C_s$)을 Mayo식 및 시뮬레이션에 의해 결정하였는데, $C_s$은 40, 50, 60 $^{\circ}C$에서 각각 1.15, 1.16, 1.18 이었다. 합성된 텔로머는 전환율 18~72%에서 $\bar{M}$n은 5100~5400 g/mol 사이의 값을 보였고, 이는 시뮬레이션 결과와 일치하였다.
