Head to Head Polymers

  • Chapter
Contemporary Topics in Polymer Science

Abstract

Polymers of α-olefins, vinyl and acrylic monomers consisting entirely of head to head (and tail to tail) linkages have been prepared by indirect methods. Head to head polyolefins, polypropylene and polystyrene were synthesized by 1, 4 polymerization of 2, 3-dimethyl (or diphenyl) butadiene followed by catalytic hydrogenation with soluble catalyst (Co/Al) or by chemical reduction (K/ethanol).

Polyisobutylene of low molecular weight was synthesized by a Wurtz type reaction from l, 4-dibromo-2, 2, 3, 3 tetramethylbutane. Polyacrylates were obtained from alternating copolymerization of symmetric internal olefins or ethylene with maleic anhydride followed by quantitative esterification. Poly(vinyl halides) were prepared from cis-l, 4-polybutadiene by chlorination (H-H PVC) or bromination (H-H PrBr). The polymers were characterized and their chemical, thermal, degradation solution, melt and blending behavior was studied.
