01 01Introduction/What is Radical Polymerization?

Radical polymerization is initiated by the formation of free radicals. Free radicals are formed by thermac energy, light, or radioactivity. Radical polymerization is mainly used for the polymerization of vinyl monomers. In addition to radical polymerization, cationic polymerization and anionic polymerization are common polymerization methods. In the case of radical polymerization, initiators are generally used. The typical initiators are azo polymerization initiators and peroxides.

Introduction

What are Azo Polymerization Initiator?

(1) Formation of radical: Azo polymerization initiators decompose with heat or light, and form nitrogen gas and carbon radicals.

*The decomposition rate (in solution) follows the first-order reaction rate kinetics and aries due to structure differences.(2) Initiation reaction/Propagation reaction: Azo polymerization initiator addition-polymerizes with vinyl monomers

and forms a polymer. *Since a section of the azo polymerization initiator is introduced at the end of polymer, the effect of end group is expected. The efficiency of common azo polymerization initiators is approximately 0.5-0.7, and the remaining results in (3)

recombination or (4) disproportionation(3) Recombination: The carbon radicals which did not engage in polymerization recombine. (4) Disproportionation: The carbon radicals which did not engage in polymerization abstracts hydrogen of other

carbon radicals.

What is Radical Polymerization?

An azo polymerization initiator is a compound having an azo group (R-N=N-R’), which decomposes with heat and

light, and forms carbon radical. The formed carbon radical is excellent in reactivity, and progresses polymerization

and halogenation reactions of different types of vinyl monomers.

Radical Formation Mechanism of Azo Polymerization Initiators (Thermal Decomposition)

■ Radical polymerization initiator shows an effect even in a small amount.■ It is not polar-sensitive, and a large number of solvent is available, a wide range of monomers can be polymerized.■ Polymerization at a low to high temperature ranges is possible.■ Reaction with simple facility and equipment is possible.

Examples of radical reactions using Azo Polymerization InitiatorsCharacteristics of Azo Polymerization Initiators and Comparison with PeroxidesAzo polymerization initiators are used as catalyst and foaming agent in organic synthesis, in addition to in polymer synthesis.

■ Azo polymerization initiators can be used safely as they do not decompose by induction and there is no risk of explosion.■ They decompose at a constant rate regardless of the solvent used, so they can be used with different solvents.■ Unlike the case of peroxides, the resulting carbon radical does not cause a hydrogen abstraction reaction, but forms linear polymers.

Decomposition Product of Azo Polymerization InitiatorsThe decomposition product of V-601 is characterized by a higher volatility than that of AIBN. Also, the decomposition product of V-601 is azeotropic with water, therefore, thus can be easily removed from the post-reaction system.● Boiling point of decomposition product of V-601: 85-90 ºC (5 mmHg)● Azeotropic point of decomposition product of V-601 with water: 90 ºCOn the other hand, the decomposition product of V-40 is hardly volatile, therefore, applications such as paint are expected.

Since the 10-hour half-life temperature is as high as 88 ºC, V-40 can be used to decrease residual monomer concentration when used with other initiators, such as V-65. This is an oil-soluble azo polymerization initiator which has a high solubility in various organic solvents. The decomposition product of V-40 has a unique characteristic of low volatility, therefore it could be useful for cow-voc paint applications.

V-601 is a nitrile-free oil-soluble azo polymerization initiator which has similar level of polymerization activity as AIBN. A safer developed as alternative to AIBN, V-601 decomposition results in much less toxic byproducts. As a nitrile-free azo initiator, V-601 displays excellent solubility characteristics in organic solvents. Since the volatility of the decomposition product is higher than that of others, such a product can be removed in the process of polymer manufacturing. Being of non-nitrile type, the polymerized polymers are highly transparent, therefore, semiconductors and LCDs applications are expected.

Characteristics:In the block polymer obtained by this product, polydimethylsiloxane and vinyl polymer are chemically bonded. Therefore, the product is completely new co-polymer having the characteristics of the two materials. This product has fundamentally different characteristics from a polymer alloy, which is formed only by blending. The largest advantage of this product is its ability to combine polydimethylsiloxane with a polymer material which hardly has a compatibility, therefore the properties of polydimethylsiloxane (heat resistance, cold resistance, weathering resistance, abrasion resistance, water repellency, electric insulation, bio-affinity, gas permeabil-ity, lubricity, surface gloss, etc.) are possibly reflected to the material.

Macro Azo Initiator (MAI) is a unique azo compound which gives block polymer easily through a polymerization with different vinyl

monomers. MAI has a structure in which polymer segment and azo group are repeatedly bonded, and there are several radical

forming points in a molecule. Therefore, when monomers are polymerized, polymers with high blocking efficiency can be designed.

Since this product is soluble in different solvents, various polymerization methods (solution polymerization, suspension polymeriza-

tion and emulsion polymerization) can be adopted. This product offers a wide range of options of monomers for co-polymerization,

and allows molecule design and structure control of block polymers fit for the purpose.

VPE-0201 4,4’-Azobis(4-cyanopentanoicacid)·Polyethyleneglycolpolymer

Characteristics:This product is an amphipathic macro azo initiator which is soluble both in water-base and organic solvent-base solvents, having a structure in which several polyethylene oxide segments are combined by the intermediary of azo group. When used for polymerization of vinyl monomers, this product forms a block polymer with a structure in which polyethylene oxide and vinyl polymers are chemically bonded, therefore the properties of polyethylene oxide (hydrophilicity of polymer, prevention of static charge, improvement of dispersity, addition of compatibility, prevention of dulling, etc.) are possibly reflected to the material.

Example of polymerization

In a four necked flask equipped with a thermometer, nitrogen gas induction tube, mixer, and reflux condenser, 20 g of VPE-0201, 80 g of methyl methacrylate (MMA) or styrene as monomer, and 300 g of toluene as solvent are charged and polymerized under the nitrogen gas flow at 80 ºC and for eight hours.

*Cautions at the time of Block Polymer Structure DesignMacro Azo Initiator can quantitatively introduces its segment into the block polymer in accordance with the charged amount of macro azo initiator under the selected polymerization conditions.

However, when compared with general low monocular azo polymerization initiator, the number of azo group per unit weight is smaller. Therefore, the charge amount of macro azo initiator should be considered based on the concentration of the azo group fit for polymerization. For example, when conducting a toluene solvent polymerization of VPS-1001, the charge ratio of VPS-1001 is generally to be set to 10 to around 70 % of the block polymer ingredients (polymer azo initiator + monomer).

01 01Introduction/What is Radical Polymerization?

Radical polymerization is initiated by the formation of free radicals. Free radicals are formed by thermac energy, light, or radioactivity. Radical polymerization is mainly used for the polymerization of vinyl monomers. In addition to radical polymerization, cationic polymerization and anionic polymerization are common polymerization methods. In the case of radical polymerization, initiators are generally used. The typical initiators are azo polymerization initiators and peroxides.

Introduction

What are Azo Polymerization Initiator?

(1) Formation of radical: Azo polymerization initiators decompose with heat or light, and form nitrogen gas and carbon radicals.

*The decomposition rate (in solution) follows the first-order reaction rate kinetics and aries due to structure differences.(2) Initiation reaction/Propagation reaction: Azo polymerization initiator addition-polymerizes with vinyl monomers

and forms a polymer. *Since a section of the azo polymerization initiator is introduced at the end of polymer, the effect of end group is expected. The efficiency of common azo polymerization initiators is approximately 0.5-0.7, and the remaining results in (3)

recombination or (4) disproportionation(3) Recombination: The carbon radicals which did not engage in polymerization recombine. (4) Disproportionation: The carbon radicals which did not engage in polymerization abstracts hydrogen of other

carbon radicals.

What is Radical Polymerization?

An azo polymerization initiator is a compound having an azo group (R-N=N-R’), which decomposes with heat and

light, and forms carbon radical. The formed carbon radical is excellent in reactivity, and progresses polymerization

and halogenation reactions of different types of vinyl monomers.

Radical Formation Mechanism of Azo Polymerization Initiators (Thermal Decomposition)

■ Radical polymerization initiator shows an effect even in a small amount.■ It is not polar-sensitive, and a large number of solvent is available, a wide range of monomers can be polymerized.■ Polymerization at a low to high temperature ranges is possible.■ Reaction with simple facility and equipment is possible.

Where R is an alkyl.R-CO2· decomposes (decarboxylation) immediately, and R· starts polymerization.

Where R is an aryl,R-CO2· is hard to decompose (decarboxylation), so decarboxylation and addition reaction to monomers are competitive reactions. Therefore, R· or R-CO2 are the radical active species.
