Abstract

A well-defined polysulfone-based graft copolymers
containing quaternary ammonioum salts are successfully prepared by photoiniferter
method under mild conditions. The corresponding macroiniferter agent is
sequentially synthesized by chloromethylation and nucleophilic substitution
reaction between obtained chloromethylated polysulfone and sodium diethyl
dithiocarbamate. Upon UV irradiation, this macroiniferter enables the
successful grafting of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate onto the polysulfone
backbone in a controlled manner. After the successful synthesis of graft
copolymers, the tertiary amine groups in the side-chains are readily quaternized
using methyl iodide to get desired quaternary ammonioum salts containing graft
copolymers.
