What are differences between step and chain growth polymerizatoin? • Step Growth Polymerization • The growing chains react with each other. • Polymers frwo to high Mw at a slow rate. • High Mw is formed at the end of polymerization. • Long reaction time is needed to obtain high Mw and high conversion Radical − Living Mn Step Growth 100 0 % Conversion • Chain Growth Polymerization • Monomer molecules add on to a growing polymer chain one at a time. • Polymers grow to high Mw at a very fast rate • High Mw is formed at the early stage. • Monomer adds on the growing polymer chain via reactive active center.
Addition versus Condensation polymerisation • Condensation polymers (C): fewer atoms in the backbone because of formation of by-products • Addition polymers (A):the repeating unit contains the same atoms as the monomer
Characteristics of Step-Growth Step-growth polymerization principle was used by Carothers in 1929. Synthesis of Ester It seemed to him more likely that one would get long chainlike macromolecules like this Carothers thought about following reaction. Many scientists were sure that one would get a ring-like molecule But, if more acid and alcohol were used, ring would not form because of unstability of ring-shaped molecules more than six atom.
Characteristics of Step-Growth • JACS(Journal of American Chemical Society, 51, P. 2548 (1929)) • “Polyintermolecular condensation requires as starting materials compounds in which at least two functional groups are present in the same molecule”
Equal Functional Group Reactivity Concept • Extended by Flory • The reactivity of functional group is not correlated with complexity and size of molecule with functional group. • This concept is useful to polycondensation type polymerization. • ex) OCNRNCO + H2NR`NH2 polyurea
Equal Functional Group Reactivity Concept • This concept also can be applied to Chain-growth polymerization. • Olefins • Vinyl monomers • Unsaturated monomers • So, double bond in vinyl monomer is considered as bifunctional.
Equal Functional Group Reactivity Concept • I. Thermodynamic Approach • “In order to for a polymerization to be thermodynamically feasible, the Gibbs-Free Energy change must be negative, that is, ΔGp < 0.” • G = HTS • GP = HPTSP : this equation is the basic of understanding about polymerization, depolymerzation equilibrium
Equal Functional Group Reactivity Concept • GP = Gpolymer Gmonomer • = (HP – Hm) – T(SP – Sm) • = HP – TSP • Where HP : enthalpy change per monomer unit • SP : entropy change per monomer unit • GP < 0 Polymerization is spontaneous • GP > 0 Polymerization is not possible • GP = 0 monomer polymer • at this temperature isceiling temperature. • (for both step and chain growth)
Equal Functional Group Reactivity Concept • II.Kinetic Approach • “A negative GP does not necessarily mean that polymerization occurs under a particular set of reaction conditions and reaction sites” • e.g) should have • functional group • proper initiator • temperature etc.
Step Growth Polymerization • 1. Polyesterification by esterinterchange O O x HO R OH + x R"OCR' C O R" O O R" (OCR' C O R ) OH + (2 x 1)R" OH x • 2. Polyesterification and polyamidation by Schotten-Baumann Reaction
Step Growth Polymerization • 3. Amidation by thermal dehydration of ammonium salt n H N(CH ) NH + n HOOC(CH ) COOH 2 2 2 2 4 6 OOC(CH ) COO 2 4 n + + H N(CH ) NH 3 2 3 6 H NH (CH ) NH CO (CH ) CO OH + (2 n 1) H O 2 2 2 6 4 n • 4. Reaction of OCNRNCO + HOR’OH polyurethane • H2NR’NH2 polyurea

Carother’s Equation • W. Carothers • In step-growth polymerization, Carother's equation gives the number-average degree of polymerization, Xn, for a given fractional monomer conversion, p. • P = extent of reaction • [M]= concentaration of monomer • P 0 0.5 0.8 0.95 0.99 0.999 • DPn 1 2 5 50 100 1000 • When P = 0.995 DPn = 200.
Carother’s Equation • f = number of average functional group per monomer • N0 = number of initial monomers • N0f = number of initial functional group • N = number of final molecules (monomer, dimer, polymer) • Generalized Carother's Eq.
Carother’s Equation • ex) monomer=10, fg= 20 • final molecules= 2 Surfing to the internet For further details about W.Carothers Click next homepage. http://www.chemheritage.org/EducationalServices/chemach/pop/whc.html
Four Requirements of Polycondensation • DPn 200 • Polymer yield =99.5% • P = 0.995 • Highly efficient Reaction • Absent of side Reactions • that is, a 99.5% consumption of functional group does not necessarily a 99.5% polymer yield or 99.5% yield of interunit linkages • Ex) • High monomer purity • Exact (on known) Stoichiometry Exact (on known) equivalence of functional groups.
