Novel poly(oxyethylene)/poly(caprolactone) POE/PCL copolymers were synthesized by step growth polymerization of poly(e-caprolactone) diols and poly(ethylene glycol) diacids using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as coupling agent. The reaction was performed at room temperature and yielded multiblock copolym

✦ Synopsis
Butadiene-oxyethylene multiblock copolymers were synthesized via coupling reaction of telechelic a,x-dihydroxypolybutadiene (PB) and poly(ethylene glycol) with tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate. The poly(oxyethylene) (PEO) content of the purified copolymer was determined by elemental analysis and the structural parameters were calculated from number-average molecular weights of the purified copolymer, determined by membrane osmometry, and those of the prepolymers, determined by vapor pressure osmometry. The total number of blocks varied from 60 to 100. Transmission electron microscopy showed the existence of multiphases in the copolymer. Wide angle X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystallinity increased from 0 to 50% with increasing weight ratio of PEO/PB. These multiblock copolymers exhibit excellent emulsifying properties, as compared to the multiblock copolymers or graft copolymer of oxyethylene and styrene. Only 0.1 g of polymer was needed to make 100 mL of a water/toluene (9:1, w/w) mixture form an emulsion completely. When the weight ratio of water/toluene was changed from 9:1 to 7:3 or the molecular weight of PEG from 6000 to 2000, the oil-in-water type emulsion was changed to water-in-oil type. The copolymers also showed a good phase transfer catalytic effect when applied to the Williamson reaction. Conversion of potassium phenolate into butyl phenolate reached over 95% when the multiblock copolymer containing 3 mmol of PEO was used for 1 g potassium phenolate, whereas no reaction occurred without using the multiblock copolymer at 90 8C for 4 h. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Butadien-Oxyethylen-Multiblockcopolymere wurden u ¨ber eine Kupplungsreaktion von a,x-Dihydroxypolybutadien-Telechelen und Polyethylenglykol mit Tolylen-2,4-diisocyanat synthetisiert. Der Polyoxyethylen (PEO)-Gehalt des gereinigten Copolymeren wurde mit Elementaranalyse bestimmt, und die Strukturparameter wurden aus den mit Membranosmometrie gemessenen zahlenmittleren Molekulargewichten (M n ) des Copolymeren sowie den mit Dampfdruckosmometrie ermittelten M n der Polymervorstufen bestimmt. Die Gesamtanzahl an Blo ¨cken variierte zwischen 60 und 100. Transmissionselektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten die Existenz von Multiphasen im Copolymeren. Weitwinkel-Ro ¨ntgenstreuungsaufnahmen deuteten darauf hin, daß die Kristallinita ¨t mit steigendem PEO/PB-Gewichtsverha ¨ltnis von 0 bis 50% zunahm. Verglichen mit Multiblock-Copolymeren oder Pfropfcopolymeren von Oxyethylen und Styrol, besitzen die hergestellten Multiblock-Copolymeren hervorragende Emulgatoreigenschaften. Nur 0,1 g des Polymeren wurden beno ¨tigt, um aus 100 mL eines Wasser/Toluol-Gemisches (9:1, w/w) eine Emulsion zu erhalten. Wurde das Wasser/Toluol-Gewichtsverha ¨ltnis von 9:1 auf 7:3 oder das PEG-Molekulargewicht von 6000 auf 2000 vera ¨ndert, so ging die O ¨l-in-Wasser-Emulsion in eine Wasser-in-O ¨l-Emulsion u ¨ber. Die Copolymeren zeigten auch einen guten Phasentransferkatalyse-Effekt in der Williamson-Reaktion. Die Umsetzung von Kaliumphenolat zu Butylphenolat verlief mit u ¨ber 95% Ausbeute, wenn ein Multiblock-Copolymeres mit 3 mmol PEO-Anteil pro 1 g Kaliumphenolat eingesetzt wurde, wohingegen in Abwesenheit des Multiblock-Copolymeren auch wa ¨hrend 4 h bei 90 8C keine Reaktion erfolgte.
