Synthesis and single-chain folding of amphiphilic random copolymers in water

Amphiphilic random methacrylate copolymers, consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and alkyl pendent groups, undergo reversible single-chain self-folding in water via intramolecular hydrophobic interaction, to generate a dynamic unimolecular hydrophobic nanospace, similar in shape but structurally different relative to micelles and microgel star polymers. These copolymers were prepared by the ruthenium-catalyzed living radical copolymerization of a PEG methacrylate (PEGMA) and an alkyl methacrylate (RMA; R, -CnH 2n+1, n = 1-18), where copolymer composition, degree of polymerization, and hydrophobic R moiety were varied. Detailed structural and chain-folding characterization has revealed: single-chain folding is favored with the RMA content 20-40 mol % per chain; the hydrophobic inner compartment (or the self-folded structure) is stable even at a high polymer concentration (up to ～6 wt %); and folded-unfolded transition occurs on addition of methanol or by elevating solution temperature, finally to phase-separation above a lower critical solution temperature.

Preparation process of long-chain alkyl (meth) acrylate

The invention discloses a preparation process of long-chain alkyl (meth) acrylate, which adopts a polymerization inhibitor composition containing phenothiazine accounting for at least 10% of the totalmass of the composition as a polymerization inhibitor for esterification reaction. The invention solves the problem of self-polymerization in the post-treatment process, can effectively control the acidity of the product to obtain a colorless or white high-purity product, and has the advantages of high yield and expanded application range of the product; in addition, according to the preparationprocess, polymerized excessive (methyl) acrylic acid is recycled, so that a large amount of acid wastewater is prevented from being generated, and the comprehensive benefit is increased.

Process for producing methacrylic ester

A method of producing a methacrylic acid ester which comprises carrying out an ester-exchange reaction between methyl methacrylate and an alcohol or a phenol while removing by-product methanol as an azeotropic mixture with methyl methacrylate from the reaction system under reflux conditions, by the use of a reaction apparatus equipped with a distillation column. A methacrylic acid ester is produced with a good productivity by controlling the reflux ratio.
