Regioselective living polymerization of allylcyclohexane was catalyzed by a bulky α-diimine nickel catalyst. Well-defined hydrocarbon block copolymers with cyclic units were constructed by sequential monomer addition.

Abstract A variety of living polymerization systems are now available for the controlled synthesis of block copolymers. Although living anionic polymerization remains as the method of choice for the most precise structural control, living polymerizations proceeding via other mechanistic types provide extremely useful extensions of this methodology to a wider variety of monomers.

Abstract The first synthesis by a core-first strategy of novel star-block copolymers consisting of eight poly(styrene-b-isobutylene) (PSt-b-PIB) arms radiating from a calix[8]arene core is described. An octafunctional methoxy calix[8]arene derivative was used to initiate the living polymerization of isobutylene (IB) to desirable molecular weights, then styrene (St) was added to obtain the sought star-blocks. Molecular weights and PSt contents were determined by triple-detector GPC and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Star-block thermoplastic elastomers containing 17–32% PSt showed high strength and elongation (up to ∼26 MPa and >500%) and relatively low melt viscosities. The mechanical and rheological properties of these star-blocks are superior to those of linear PSt-b-PIB-b-PSt triblocks. PIB-based thermoplastic elastomers may be of use as novel biomaterials.
