Background
The acrylate materials have wide application range, such as: polymethyl methacrylate is used as a medical bone cement raw material for a long time; the polyacrylate/montmorillonite composite system can be used as a flame retardant material; water-soluble polyacrylates are often used as adhesives and paints; the polycyanoacrylate is a main raw material of the instant adhesive; the fluorine-containing polyacrylate can be used in the fields of textile finishing agents, paper product treating agents, electronic device protection and the like. The acrylate polymer with the novel structure is also expected to be applied to the fields of biomedicine, coating paint, macromolecular modification, polymer grafting and the like.
The synthesis method of the acrylate polymer mainly comprises three methods of free radical polymerization, coordination polymerization and anion polymerization. The free radical polymerization method has already realized the commercial process at present, and the controlled/"living" free radical polymerization that evolves on the basis of traditional free radical polymerization can prepare the polymer with controllable microstructure, polymer, polydispersity, but this method preparation route is longer, often cause heavy metal initiator or sulphur-containing initiator residue, post treatment (purification) are complicated.
Coordination polymerization processes are usually carried out in systems with a low degree of solvation, and in such cases polymers with stereoregularity are often prepared by utilizing the strong coordination capacity of polar monomers such as acrylates in combination with homogeneous initiators. In recent years, more and more polar monomers are introduced into a coordination polymerization system using a novel coordination polymerization catalyst to produce a variety of novel acrylic polymers. However, it is often difficult to incorporate more polar monomer and less polar monomer species are used.
The anion polymerization method mainly utilizes the characteristic that the electron cloud density of vinyl double bonds on acrylate which has electron-withdrawing groups and conjugated by pi-pi is low, so that anion active centers generated after anion attack can stably exist to initiate polymerization reaction, and the polymerization system of the method can keep activity all the time theoretically due to the fact that no double-group termination exists, so that the method is also called active anion polymerization. In recent years, oxyanion polymerization, which has evolved based on anion polymerization, has become a focus of research, for example:
(1) tomoi et al, Tomoi M., Sekiya K., Kakiuchi H.Polymer Journal, 1974,6(5),438-444, 1974, disclose a process for preparing methyl methacrylate polymers after initiating the polymerization of methyl methacrylate using sodium n-butoxide and methoxy oxyethyl salts as initiators. The method can obtain high monomer conversion rate under certain experimental conditions, but the applicable alkali metal alkoxy compound and (methyl) acrylate monomer are too single, and the polymerization time is too long;
(2) the publications Nagasaki Y., Sato Y., Kato M.macromolecular Rapid Communications,1997, 18(9), 827-835; iijima M., Nagasaki Y., Kato M., Kataoka K.Polymer,1997,38(5), 1197-. The method can prepare polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution, but the types of the applicable alkali metal alkoxy compounds are few, and the types of the (methyl) acrylic ester monomers are too single.
The structure of the (meth) acrylate polymer represented by the structural formula (I) described in the present application is not reported in the prior art.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a structure of a novel (meth) acrylate polymer and to study a method for producing the same.
