Concurrent ring-opening and atom transfer radical polymerization was used to synthesize block copolymers of L-lactide and styrene, requiring careful selection of reaction conditions and reagents. Comprehensive analysis of the synthesized block copolymers revealed uninterrupted simultaneous polymerization of both monomers under applied conditions.
In this study, we report concurrent ring-opening and atom transfer radical polymerization for synthesis of the block copolymers of L-lactide and styrene. Simultaneous polymerization of two different polymerization mechanisms requires careful selection of reaction conditions and reagents for targeted comparable propagation of both types. Several different di-block copolymers are synthesized having different total molar mass, chemical composition, and individual block lengths. Such simultaneous polymerization mechanisms require different reagents, and the regents required for one type of polymerization may hamper the other parallel mechanism. Hence, synthesized block copolymers are analysed comprehensively using different polymer chromatographic techniques and NMR spectroscopy. Total molar mass and chemical composition of BCPs are determined by size exclusion chromatography and NMR, respectively. PLA block length in PS-b-PLA and quantification of PS homopolymers is revealed by liquid chromatography at critical conditions of PS. For determination of PS block length in PS-b-PLA and quantification of PLA homopolymers, a gradient polymer elution chromatography (GPEC) method is applied. The comprehensive analysis of synthesized PS-b-PLA by parallel polymerization mechanisms revealed uninterrupted simultaneous polymerization of both monomers under applied conditions.
