Conducting graft copolymers of poly (3-methylthienyl methacrylate) with pyrrole and thiophene

2002-12-01
A thiophene-functionalized methacrylate monomer (3-methylthienyl methacrylate) was synthesized via the esterification of 3-thiophene methanol with methacryloyl chloride. The methacrylate monomer was polymerized by free-radical polymerization in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator. Graft copolymers of poly(3-methylthienyl methacrylate) (PMTM2) and polypyrrole and of PMTM2 and polythiophene were synthesized by constant-potential electrolyses. p-Toluene sulfonic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate were used as the supporting electrolytes. PMTM2-coated platinum electrodes were used as anodes in the polymerization of pyrrole and thiophene. Moreover, the oxidative polymerization of poly(3-methylthienyl methacrylate) (PMTM1) was studied with FeCl(3) as the oxidant. The self-polymerization of PMTM1 was also investigated by galvanostatic electrolysis both in dichloromethane and in propylene carbonate. The structures of PMTM1 and PMTM2 were investigated by several spectroscopic and thermal methods. The grafting process was elucidated with conductivity measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy studies.

Conducting graft copolymers of pyrrole and thiophene with random copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 3-methylthienyl methacrylate
Guner, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hepuzer, Y; Yagci, Y (2004-08-01)
Random copolymers of 3-methyl thienylmethacrylate and methyl methacrylate were synthesized via free radical polymerization. Electro-copolymerizations of random copolymers with thiophene and/or pyrrole were carried out in acetonitrile-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TBAFB), water-p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) solvent-electrolyte couples. Oxidative polymerization of thiophene functionalized random copolymer was also achieved by constant current electrolysis and chemical polymerization. The characteriza...
Synthesis and characterization of a bifunctional amido-thiophene monomer and its copolymer with thiophene and electrochemical properties
AK, M; Çırpan, Ali; Yılmaz, Fatih; YAGCI, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2005-05-01)
A bifunctional amido-thiophene namely hexamethylene (bis-3-thiophene acetamide) (HMTA) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-thiophene acetic acid with hexamethylene diamine. Copolymerization in the presence of thiophene was achieved electrochemically in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate/acetonitrile (TBAFB/AN). Spectroelectro-chemical analysis of the resulting copolymer [P(HMTA-co-Th)] reflected electronic transitions at 505 nm, 740 nm and similar to 1000 nm, revealing pi to pi* transition, polaron and b...
Synthesis and characterization of thiophen-3-yl-acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenyl ester and its conducting polymers
Bingöl, Bahar; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2003)
Thiophen-3-yl acetic acid 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenyl ester (TAPE) monomer was synthesized by the reaction of thiophene acetic acid with thionyl chloride, and further reaction of thiophen-3-yl-acetyl chloride with 4-pyrrol-1-yl phenol. Electrochemical behavior of this monomer (TAPE) was determined by cyclic voltammetry. Homopolymers were achieved both by using electrochemical and chemical polymerization techniques. Copolymers of TAPE in the presence of bithiophene and pyrrole were synthesized by potentiostatic ele...
Investigation of copolymers of thiophene-functionalized polystyrene with pyrrole by pyrolysis mass spectrometry
Papila, Ozge; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-06-01)
The thermal and structural characterization of electrochemically synthesized thiophene-functionalized polystyrene and pyrrole (PS/PPy) and their copolymers were investigated by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry. The pyrolysis data confirmed the growth of polypyrrole onto the pendant thiophene moiety of polystyrene. It is determined that the electrolytic film has different properties from the mechanical mixture and the related homopolymers.
Conducting multiphase block copolymers of polypyrrole with polytetrahydrofuran and polytetrahydrofuran-b-polystyrene
Oztemiz, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Onen, A; Yagci, Y (2000-01-01)
Living bifunctional azo-polytetrahydrofuran (azo-PTHF) was terminated with pyrrolyl potassium salt to yield a polymer with electrochemically active functional end groups. This polymer is further used to synthesize polytetrahydrofuran-polystyrene (PTHF-b-PS-b-PTHF) block copolymer. These polymers are electrochemically blocked with polypyrrole using constant potential electrolysis (PPy/Azo-PTHF and PPy/PTHF-b-PS-b-PTHF). Two different solvent-electrolyte pairs were used during electrolysis. Characterizations ...
