Mechanochemical polymerization is a rapidly growing area and a number of polymeric materials now can be obtained via green mechanochemical synthesis. Since our ground-breaking development of chain-growth mechanochemical poly(lactic acid) synthesis, we have continued expanding this new method to other types of polymerizations. In this presentation, the post-polymerization modification and block copolymer synthesis from macroinitiators will be discussed, where mechanochemical transformations are applied to polymer chains. Mechanochemical conditions surprisingly provided efficient mixing between the polymer chain and the reactants and more efficient chemical transformation than solution reactions. In addition, the case of a catalytic polymerization system will be disclosed which is very slow in solution became very robust under ball-milling conditions. Thus, I would like to address that the general concepts and merits of mechanochemical synthesis is valid in polymer science as well. |
