is a polymerization process involving two or more consecutive polymerizations under the same reaction condition
in which the subsequent polymerizations result as a consequence of the functional polymer intermediates formed in the previous polymerization step
i.e
.
two or more polymerizations proceed cascade in an
in situ
one feeding step
one pot system. As the separation and purification of intermediate polymers are not needed
cascade polymerization has the characteristics of " green” and high efficiency
which is especially important in the synthesis of block copolymers. This review introduces the concept of cascade polymerization
with the focus on the cascade polycondensation-coupling ring-opening polymerization (PROP) method developed by our research group
as well as the kinetics
thermodynamics and the application of PROP in the synthesis of polyesters and copolyesters. By the combination of chain-growth and step-growth polymerization together in one system
PROP has the merits of fast polymerization speed
easy to handle with mild polymerization conditions
controlled rigid to soft segments weight ratio
and can be used for the synthesis of multiblock copolymers which are hard to be synthesized by traditional polymerization techniques. These multiblock copolyesters have potential applications in elastomers and energy storage materials.
