Heptaisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane functionalized polystyrene (PS-POSS) was prepared by using styrene (PS) as monomers
POSS as terminator
n
-BuLi as initiator
cyclohexane as solvent and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as structure modifier
via
anionic living polymerization. The PS-POSS was characterized by
1
H-NMR
13
C-NMR and GPC. The results of
1
H-NMR and
13
C-NMR clearly prove that the reaction of poly(styryl)lithium with Cl-POSS has been carried out and GPC chromatograms show that POSS incorporation into end of PS increased the molecular weight distribution of the PS-POSS. It is noteworthy that no obvious dimeric side-products are observed compared to conventional organic terminator. Then the effects of the species of initiator
the content of structure modifier
the molar ratio of POSS and Li
PS molecular weight
terminating reactive temperature and terminating reactive time on the functionalization efficiency were investigated. The results show that the functionalization efficiency reached the highest point when the molar ratio of THF and
n
-BuLi was more than 5
the molar ratio of terminator POSS and
n
-BuLi reached 1.1
the terminating temperature reached 60℃ and the terminating time reached 30 min. It is indicated that the reaction of poly(styryl)lithium with Cl-POSS was over when the terminating time reached 30 min. The highest functionalization efficiency is more than 80 percent. Finally
the functionalization efficiency decreased with DS molecular weight increasing as the other conditions kept unchanged.
