摘要

The synthesis of functionalized rubber copolymers is a topic of great research interest. In this study, we present a novel approach for the direct construction of α-functionalized 3,4-polyisoprene through polymerization of polar monomers and isoprene monomer. The α-functionalized 3,4-polyisoprene was successfully synthesized via in situ sequential polymerization using the iron-based catalytic system (Fe(acac)3/IITP/AliBu3), exhibiting high activity and resistance to polar monomers without requiring protection of polar groups. The structure of α-functionalized 3,4-polyisoprene was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and two-dimensional diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (2D DOSY) spectra analysis. The introduction of polar groups, particularly hydroxyl groups, enhanced the hydrophilicity of the copolymer. This was evidenced by a decrease in the water contact angle from 106.9° to 96.4° with increasing hydroxyl content in the copolymer.
