摘要
Four kinds of dendrimer-like star-branched poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMA)s with different branched architectures have been synthesized up to the third-generation by developing the iterative divergent methodology which involves the following two elementary reactions: (a) a coupling reaction between alpha-functionalized living anionic PMMA having two or four 3-tert-butyidimethyl-silyloxymethylphenyl (SMP) groups and benzyl bromide (BnBr)-multi-functionalized core compound(s) or BnBr-chain-end-multi-functionalized PMMA, and (b) a transformation reaction of the introduced SMP group into BnBr function. The number of segments branched at the junction point could be readily controlled by adjusting BnBr reaction sites of the core and the polymer chain-end in number. Characterization results on molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and end-group functionality revealed that the resulting branched polymers all herein synthesized were well-defined in branched architecture and precisely controlled in chain length. in order to evaluate the solution properties of the third-generation polymers, their viscosities and hydrodynamic radii were measured by viscometer and RALLS, respectively, and discussed.
