Baylis-Hillman reaction was used to afford a series of four alkyl α-hydroxymethyl acrylates, methyl (MHMA), ethyl (EHMA), isopropyl (iPrHMA), and -butyl (nBHMA) α-hydroxymethyl acrylate, with tunable water solubility. MHMA and EHMA with high water solubility were identified as suitable candidates for aqueous dispersion polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). PISA of EHMA and MHMA using poly(ethylene glycol) macromolecular chain transfer agents (PEG-CTA and PEG-CTA) was investigated under either thermal or photoinitiation at 40-70 °C. Photo-PISA at low temperatures provided both morphological transition and PEG-PEHMA block copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. iPrHMA with moderate water solubility was used for dispersion-emulsion polymerization with the formation of vesicles being observed.
利用贝利斯-希尔曼反应制备了一系列四种具有可调水溶性的α-羟甲基丙烯酸烷基酯,即α-羟甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MHMA)、α-羟甲基丙烯酸乙酯(EHMA)、α-羟甲基丙烯酸异丙酯(iPrHMA)和α-羟甲基丙烯酸正丁酯(nBHMA)。具有高水溶性的MHMA和EHMA被确定为用于水分散聚合诱导自组装(PISA)的合适候选物。在40-70°C下,使用聚乙二醇大分子链转移剂(PEG-CTA和PEG-CTA)对EHMA和MHMA进行热引发或光引发的PISA研究。低温下的光引发PISA既提供了形态转变,又提供了具有窄分子量分布的PEG-PEHMA嵌段共聚物。具有中等水溶性的iPrHMA用于分散乳液聚合,并观察到囊泡的形成。
