8 Preference for Mechanistic Nomenclature Although many condensation polymers are addition polymers, nomenclature isn t interchangeable

9 The Many Faces of Chain Growth Radical polymerizations Cationic polymerizations Anionic polymerizations

10 Molecular Weight Why are Radical Polymerizations Widespread? Step 1) Stepwise intermolecular 2) Monomers react with chain or monomers ) All functional groups have same reactivity (monomer, polymer, oligomer) 4) High conversion needed to produce high MW polymers Radical Chain 1) Kinetic chain reaction 2) Initiated by external source ) Monomers react only with active center 4) Polymers grow rapidly and obtain high MW Step Chain % conversion *anionic and cationic highly reactive towards moisture and oxygen 5) Equilibrium controlled See next slide

12 Stepto, R. F. T. Pure Appl. Chem. 2009, 81 (2). Weight Fraction Consequences of Radical Chain Reactions Radicals can be selective in their reactivity Molecular weight control Large distributions typical Dispersity (formally PDI) High dispersity due to kinetics Propagation (k p ) is faster than initiation (k I ) M N M V M W Molecular Weight PDI = M W M N

13 Nucleophilic vs Electrophilic Radicals Radicals have feelings too Donating groups produce nucleophilic SOMO s that interact with LUMO s of electron deficient olefins Withdrawing groups produce electrophilic SOMO s that interact with HOMO s of electron rich olefins σ-p π interaction Inductive interaction

Bettering the Dispersity Index Living free radical polymerization No termination reactions and only rarely dormant states Reversible deactivation polymerization Predominance of dormant states Stable free radical mediated polymerization (SFRP) Atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT)
