Abstract

The present paper reviews advancements in reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) of ethylene. Polyethylene, one of the most produced polymers, is traditionally made using high-pressure radical polymerization (RP) or catalytic coordination-insertion methods. However, the harsh conditions required for RP and ethylene low reactivity have limited laboratory-scale innovations. Efforts to develop milder polymerization conditions (< 100 °C, < 500 bar) have facilitated the exploration of RDRP techniques applied to ethylene. RDRP based on reversible termination or degenerative transfer have been investigated. Among them, those based on degenerative transfer such as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT), organotellurium mediated radical polymerization (TeRP) or iodine transfer polymerization (ITP) proved more successful, enabling not only controlled homopolymerization of ethylene but also the synthesis of well-defined (block) copolymers based on ethylene.

乙烯从自由基聚合到可逆失活自由基聚合

综述了乙烯的可逆-失活自由基聚合（RDRP）的研究进展。聚乙烯是产量最大的聚合物之一，传统上采用高压自由基聚合（RP）或催化配位插入法制备。然而，RP所需的苛刻条件和乙烯的低反应性限制了实验室规模的创新。努力开发更温和的聚合条件(<；100°C & lt;500 bar)促进了RDRP技术应用于乙烯的探索。研究了基于可逆终止或退行性转移的RDRP。其中，基于退化转移的方法如可逆加成-断裂链转移（RAFT）、有机碲介导的自由基聚合（TeRP）或碘转移聚合（ITP）更为成功，不仅可以实现可控的乙烯均聚，而且可以合成具有良好定义的乙烯基（嵌段）共聚物。
