RESEARCH TOPIC: CATALYSIS FOR FUNCTIONAL AND BIOBASED POLYMERS

Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP)

The principle of CCTP is to allow a growing macromolecular chain to transmetallate from a transition metal based catalyst to a main group metal based chain transfer agent. CCTP opens to way to a large array of applications useful for the synthetic chemist that includes not only molecular weight control, atom economy and polymer functionalization, but also the control and design of polymer microstructure. While exploring this fascinating area of polymerization catalysis, we discovered that CCTP affords fine control over the microstructure of polydienes, and that it can be considered as new concept for the control of the composition of statistical copolymers. The concepts were recently extended to the statistical copolymerization of conjugated dienes, to terpolymerizations and to a biobased conjugated diene, myrcene.

We also extended the chain shuttling copolymerization approach discovered by researchers of the Dow Chemical Co. to the synthesis of a new family of thermoplastic elastomers. These unique materials exhibit a fully amorphous multiblock microstructure of soft and hard segments. The composition of the blocks and the resulting glass transition temperatures can be easily tuned by changing the feed and/or the relative amount of the catalysts. We further reported a second catalytic combination for isoprene chain shuttling polymerization. The halflanthanocene / dilakylmagnesium catalytic system represented hereafter combined to neodymium trichloride / trialkylaluminum, allows the access to a (1,4-trans / 1,4-cis) stereomultiblock polyisoprene that self-assembles at room temperature.

Organocatalysis for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters and their functionalization with carbohydrates and biomolecules

Biodegradable polyesters based notably on renewable resources are used in biomedical areas and for consumer goods and packaging applications. Metal mediated polymerizations can lead to the presence of residual metal traces in the material, which can be detrimental for the targeted applications. This can be circumvented by the use of organic molecules as polymerization catalysts. We reported recently in this frame the use of a binol derived phosphoric acid (binaphthyl-diyl hydrogen phosphate) as catalyst for the controlled ring-opening polymerization of lactones in mild conditions, as well as the controlled ring-opening polymerization of lactide using various bifunctional acid/base combinations. In particular, we assessed acid base equilibria involving two bases as catalytic systems, which led to increased activities, a better control of the molecular weight and prevent form undesirable transesterification reactions.

The functionalization of aliphatic polyesters with carbohydrates is an important strategy to tailor their properties while keeping a biocompatible character. We discovered new reactivities in this field using both well known, readily available and new, home-made organocatalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters. The resulting macromolecular objects have shown promising potential in materials science and pharmaceuticals.

We also reported the quantitative polymerization of -caprolactone in water using various Brönsted acids as organocatalysts. The approach was further conducted in the presence of water-soluble polysaccharides, enabling an easy, mild and one-step access to poly(-caprolactone)-graft-dextran and poly(-caprolactone)-graft-methylcellulose copolymers.

Nucleobase-functionalized polymers are widely used in the fields of supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly,and their development for biomedical applications is also an area of interest. They are usually synthesized by tedious multistep procedures. We have shown that L-Lactide can be quantitatively polymerized in the presence of adenine. Reaction conditions involving short reaction times and relatively low temperatures enable the access to adenine end-capped polylactide in a simple one-step procedure, in bulk, without additional catalyst, which is promising for biomedical applications. DFT calculations show that the polymerization occurs via hydrogen bond catalysis.
