Model poly(-butyl acrylate) (PBA) networks were prepared by photoinduced atom transfer radical polymerization (photoATRP), followed by curing of polymer stars via atom transfer radical coupling (ATRC) with a nitrosobenzene radical trap. The resulting nitroxyl radical installed thermally labile alkoxyamine functional groups at the junctions of the network. The alkoxyamine crosslinks of the network were degraded back to star-like products upon exposure to temperatures above 135 °C. Characterization of the degraded products via gel permeation chromatography (GPC) confirmed the inversion of polymer topology after thermal treatment.
通过光诱导原子转移自由基聚合(photoATRP)制备了聚(丙烯酸丁酯)(PBA)网络模型,随后通过原子转移自由基偶联(ATRC)与亚硝基苯自由基捕获剂对聚合物星型分子进行固化。所得的硝酰自由基在网络节点处安装了热不稳定的烷氧基胺官能团。当暴露于135℃以上的温度时,网络的烷氧基胺交联键降解回星型产物。通过凝胶渗透色谱(GPC)对降解产物进行表征,证实了热处理后聚合物拓扑结构的转变。
