β¦ Synopsis
A series of polystyrenes having low molecular weight (4600-23,100) and narrow molecular weight distribution and functionalized with a benzophenone group a t one or both ends of the chain have been prepared through anionic polymerization. T h e n the terminal benzophenone groups have been transformed into l,Z-bis(tri-methylsily1oxy)tetraphenylethane (or benzopinacolate) groups by the duplication reaction with free benzophenone in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane and hexamethylphosphorous triamide ( H M P T ) or hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), producing model thermal macroinitiators of free radical polymerization with well-defined structure. Polymerization of MMA initiated by these macroinitiators was carried out yielding poly(styrene-b-methyl-methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA).
