Özet
Bu çalışmada öncelikle uç grupları modifıye edilmiş politetrahidrofuran (PTHF) polimerleri sentezlenmiştir. Azo-oksokarbenyum tuzu ve gümüşhekzafloraantimonat (AgSbF6) ile yaşayan katyonik polimerizasyon yöntemiyle elde edilen PTHF piridinyum N-oksit türevleri ile sonlandınlmıştır. N-alkoksi piridinyum tuzlarının, doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak aktif hale getirilmesiyle vinil monomerlerin serbest radikal polimerizasyonlannı başlatacak alkoksi radikallerinin üretimini sağladığı bilinmektedir. Elde edilen bifonksiyonel politetrahidrofuran makrobaşlatıcı, sıralı olarak fotokimyasal ve termal başlatma özelliğine sahiptir. Bir diğer makrobaşlatıcı olarak aynı yöntemle elde edilen yaşayan PTHF metakrilat anyonu ile sonlandınlmıştır. PTHF makroinimer, hem başlatma hemde monomer özelliğine sahip olduğundan, termal olarak homo ve metil metakrilat (MMA) ile kopolimerizasyonu yapıldı. Makroinimer ile MMA polimerizasyonu dallı ve çapraz bağlı MMA-THF blok kopolimerlerini vermektedir.
Block copolymers find a very large number of disparate applications. They are used as thermoplastic elastomers, adhesives and sealants, surface modifiers and binders. Currently, block copolymer synthesis is a very active and expanding field. Various methods have been proposed and used for the synthesis of block copolymers. These methods are generally based on the sequential monomer addition in living systems and the use of macroinitiators. Polytetrahydrofuran macroinitiators were synthesized by means of cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofiiran, initiated by azo-oxocarbenium salt, followed by termination with pyridinium N-oxide derivatives. The resulting PTHF-macroinitiators possesses both a termally and photochemically labile group. It is well known that initiation of THF polymerization by oxo-carbenium salts is quantitative, rapid and proceeds by addition mechanism. Moreover, polymerization is considered to be living since it proceeds without chain transfer and termination reactions under closely controlled conditions. In this work, we have employed in situ generated azo-oxocarbenium salt initiator for the polymerization of THF according to reaction (1), which ensues incorporation of thermolabile functionality. The second functionality, photofunctionality was introduced by taking advantage of quantitative deactivation of this polymerization. The quenching the living ends of polymer with iV-oxides according to reaction (2) resulted in the formation of JV-Alkoxy pyridinium ion terminated polytetrahydrofurans. The structure of the resulting polymers was confirmed by ^H NMR, UV and GPC measurements. The results are summarized in Table 1. The *H NMR. spectrum of a typical 4 sample (Figure 1) exhibits signals in the range of 7-9 ppm corresponding to the aromatic protons of the pyridine ring in addition to characteristic PTHF signals. vu CH3 CH3 O C!-C-CH2-CH2-C-N=N-C-CH2-CH2-C-CI + 2AgSbF6 CN CN O CH3 CH3 9 II II II _ SbF;+C-CH2-CH2-C-N=N-C-CH2-CH2-C+ SbF6 + 2 AgCI | CN CN 2 O (1) O CH3 CH3 O..

Upon irradiation of 5 in CH2CI2 at X = 300 nm, maximum absorption band of the pyridinium ion dissapeared. 7V-Alkoxy pyridinium salts are known to generate alkoxy radicals which are capable of initiating the free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers by direct and sensitized irradiation. Previous degradation studies revealed that polymer obtained via azo-oxocarbenium initiation possess one azo linkage per macromolecule chain. Undoubtly, the most important characteristic of main chain azo initiators is their ability to form polymeric radicals at elevated temperature for the synthesis of block copolymers. The attachment of structurally related pyridinium ions and azo groups to the polymer main chain would afford a convenient procedure for ABC triblock copolymer formation by sequential photo-induced and thermal processes. Spectral selectivity of pyridinium ion decomposition at variable wavelengths by using sensitizers makes this method particularly useful since azo group remain undecomposed for the subsequent thermal process. The second part of the work was related to the preparation and characterization of macroinimers. Recently, macromonomeric initiators refered to as macroinimers have been synthesized and applied to prepare block and graft copolymers and crosslinked networks. Macroinimer is a polymer molecule which possesses both monomer and initiator functionalities in the chain. Polytetrahydrofuran macroinimers were synthesized by means of cationic polymerization of tetrahydrofuran by the same initiator, followed by termination with methacrylate anion. PTHF macroinimers were prepared by nucleophilic substitution of the living ends of the polymer with sodium methacrylate according to Scheme 1. The S]sj reaction of an oxonium end group with sodium methacrylate was reported to proceed fast and quantitatively.
