Abstract: | In order to transfer the halogen terminus of polymers for block copolymer synthesis, the in situ transformation of living free radical polymerization of styrene into living cationic ring-opening polymerization of tetrahydrofuran was successfully performed. Three different initiator/catalyst systems of styrene were employed, i.e. (a) PhCH2Cl/ Bpy/CuCl, (b) 1-PEBr/Bpy/CuCl and (c) CCL/BDE/CuCl system. With these monofunctional initiator or difunction-al initiator, both AB and ABA type block copolymers of styrene and tetrahydrofuran were obtained using a silver salt with strong acid (AgC104) as the transformation agent in the transformation of polymerization type. Characterization of these copolymers by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectra ('H-NMR) , gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated this method is simple and feasible. |
