Electroinitiated polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole has been accomplished by constant potential electrolysis. It was found that direct electron transfer from the monomer to the anode initiates the polymerization even at a potential as low as +0.95 V versus Ag−/ Ag+. Dichloromethane was used as the solvent, and the electrolyte was tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate. Conversions as high as 86% were reached even when a microelectrode was used. Effects of electrode area, temperature, and electrode potential on polymerization were studied. Percent conversion was followed by cyclic voltammetry.

ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLONITRILE YURTTAS, B; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Akbulut, Ural (Informa UK Limited, 1988-01-01) Anionic polymerization of acrylonitrile was achieved by constant-potential electrolysis via direct electron transfer to the monomer. The reduction peak potential in the (C4 H9)4 NBF4 -CH3 CN electrolyte-solvent system was measured by cyclic voltammetry. On the other hand, dimethylformamide-metal salts were not found suitable for the direct electron-transfer process in our system. Polymers produced both anodically and cathodically were found to contain cyclized structures.
Electrosynthesis of polyfuran in acetonitrile-boron trifluoride-ethyl ether mixture and its device application Tirkeş, Süha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Wiley, 2007-01-15) Electrochemical polymerization of furan was achieved in acetonitrile/boron trifluoride/ethyl ether (CH3 CN/BF3/EE) mixture in the presence of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate via constant potential electrolysis at 1.4 V versus Ag/AgCl. Electrochemical behavior of furan was investigated in the same solvent mixture of varying ratios, utilizing cyclic voltammetry. Free-standing polyfuran (PFu) films were obtained in CH3CN/BF3/EE mixture (2/4/4; v/v/v) and characterized using FTIR spectroscopic technique. S...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACROLEIN BY DIRECT AND INDIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER VIA CONTROLLED POTENTIAL ELECTROLYSIS Toppare, Levent Kamil; Akbulut, Ural (Informa UK Limited, 1990-01-01) Electroinitiated polymerization of acrolein has been achieved by controlled potential electrolysis at the reduction peak potential of the monomer for direct electron transfer. Kinetics and type of mechanism of the polymerization have been investigated. the structure of the polymer has also been examined by IR spectroscopy. in a separate experiment, a small amount of CCI4 was added to a polymerization system. Since the reduction peak potential of CCI4 appears at a more anodic region than that of acrolein on ...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF BUTADIENE SULFONE AYBAR, SP; HACIOGLU, B; Akbulut, Ural (1991-12-01) Electroinitiated polymerization of butadiene sulfone was achieved by direct electron transfer in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate system by controlled potential electrolysis technique. High conversions were obtained at reasonable temperatures and polymerization times. The polymer was found to be composed of linear segments along with some cyclic units. The effect of monomer concentration, temperature, and polymerization potential on the rate of polymerization was investigated. Temperature an...
ELECTROINITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF ACRYLAMIDE BY DIRECT ELECTRON-TRANSFER HACIOGLU, B; Akbulut, Ural; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 1989-10-01) Electroinitiated polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in acetonitrile–tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate by electrolytic reduction of monomer. It was shown by cyclic voltammetry that direct electron transfer from the cathode to the monomer can be achieved in this solvent–electrolyte system. Reduction peak potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry indicated that sodium salts will interfere with such a mechanism. Since the reduction peak potential of sodium salt and dimethylformamide are found to be lowe...
