Cationic Polymers Commercial and Technological Significance Chemical NameTrade NameFormula • Polyisobutylen Vistanex, Oppanol • Isobutylene-isoprene copolymer • and chlorinated copolymer ~98% ~2% Butyl Rubber and Chlorobutyl Delrin Celcon • Polyoxymethylene • Trioxane-epoxide copolymer ~2%
Cationic Polymers Commercial and Technological Significance Chemical NameTrade NameFormula Hydrin Rubber • Polyepichlorohydrin Lycra or Spandex • Poly(THF) or Poly(tetramethylene oxide) • Polybischloromethyl Oxetane Penton
Cationic Polymerizations R = electron releasing group Poly(isobutylene) R, R’=
Cationic Polymerization …Also cyclics Hydrin Rubber Poly(oxymethylene) Delrin
Cationic Polymerization 1) Priming 2) Initiation Step
Cationic Polymerization 3) Propagation 4) CM
Initiators A) Bronsted Acids ionic A can not be too nucleophilic HCl is not very good covalent Methanesulfonic acid
Initiators B) 1)Lewis Acids SnCl4, AlCl3, TiCl4, BF3 R3Al, R2AlCl, RAlCl2 2) Co initiator
Auto Ionization Bone dry
Chain Transfer More Important in Cationic than in Anionic 1) To Monomer
Chain Transfer 2) Ring Alkylation on Solvent
Chain Transfer 3) Ring Alkylation on Polymer
Chain Transfer 4) Hydride Abstraction from Polymer
Poly(isobutylene) Low MW(Mn<50,000 g/mol) Liquids adhesives caulking sealants motor oils - important Tpzn= 0 to – 40 oC w/AlCl3
Poly(isobutylene) High MW(Mn= 50,000-5,000,000) Elastomeric Tpzn= –100 oC w/ AlCl3 w/ 1-5 % isoprene (to vulcanize) Methylchloride as solvent Slurry
Butyl Rubber Advantages • Lower Temp Capability • -50 oC NO TM • -70 oC = TG • More Resistant to Ozone • Very Low Gas Permeability inner tire tubes
