    UNDECAD RESOLUTION OF POLYPROPYLENE STEREOSEQUENCES - QUANTITATIVE-EVALUATION OF C-13 NMR METHYL SPECTRUM

    No full text
    The quantitative evaluation of a 50.3 MHz 13C NMR methyl spectrum of a particular stereoisomer of polypropylene, called hemiisotactic (hit-PP), was performed by a full lineshape fitting procedure. This sample presents a dramatic selection between stereosequences and a characteristic pattern of signal intensities. The results are compared with a general statistical approach, leading to the conclusions that the structure of hit-PP is almost pure (96%). Also, small deviations from the ideality are accounted for. In this way linewidths and chemical shifts have been established for nine nonads and five undecads of monomer units, calling for a sensitivity to carbon atoms distant up to ten bonds

    INCLUSION POLYMERIZATION IN PERHYDROTRIPHENYLENE STUDIED BY ELECTRON-SPIN-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY - GROWING CHAIN STRUCTURE AND CONFORMATION OF METHYLSUBSTITUTED POLYBUTADIENES

    Inclusion polymerization of diene monomers promoted by gamma rays and performed in perhydrotriphenylene was studied by ESR techniques. During polymerization of butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, isoprene, 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, 2-methylpentadiene, and 2,4-hexadiene, spectra attributable to allyl-type radicals were collected. It was demonstrated they actually represent the propagating radicals and they do not vary over a long period of time. They are not temperature dependent in the range minus 150 degree / plus 60 degree C, apart from the radical of polybutadiene, suggesting that the included methyl-substituted polybutadienes are conformationally fixed. When the two opposite insertions of monomers 1,4 and 4,1 are distinguishable, the radicals bearing the higher number of methyl groups at the ends of allyl system prevail
