example

[0137] The following examples are provided to more fully illustrate the invention but should not be construed as limiting its scope. Furthermore, while some of the examples may include conclusions about the manner in which the invention may function, the inventors do not intend to be bound by these conclusions, but set them out only as possible explanations. Also, unless indicated by use of the past tense, the representation of an example does not imply that an experiment or procedure has or has not been performed or that a result has or was not actually obtained. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers used (eg, amounts, temperature) but some experimental errors and deviations may be present. Unless indicated otherwise, parts are parts by weight, molecular weight is number average molecular weight, temperature is in degrees Centigrade, viscosity is in Pa.s, and pressure is at or near atmospheric.

[0147] Meso-erythritol (112.12g.mol -1 , 249.1mg, 2.04mmol), Mg(BHT) 2 (THF) 2 (604.95g.mol -1 , 246.8mg, 4.08×10 -1 mmol), anhydrous toluene (10.2mL), MAn (98.06g.mol -1 , 4.0g, 40.8mmol) and PO (58.08g.mol -1 , 2.85 mL, 40.8 mmol) were introduced into a flame-dried Schlenk bottle in this order. The Schlenk bottle was sealed with a PTFE stopper and removed from the glove box. The solution was stirred at 80°C for 24 hours. The resulting copolymer was recovered by precipitation in diethyl ether and dried under vacuum to give a sticky beige powder. Yield: 88%.

Abstract

In various embodiments, the invention relates to poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)-based star-shaped copolymers synthesized using a core-first approach that uses a multi-functional alcohols as an initiator, and Mg(BHT)2(THF)2 as catalyst for controlled ring opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of maleic anhydride (MAn) with propylene oxide (PO). In some embodiments, these star-PPF copolymers have lower viscosities than their linear analogs, allowing a decrease in DEF fraction in resin formulation, as well as the use of higher molecular weights. These star-shape PPF can be used to prepare PPF:DEF resins containing as much as 70% by weight of the multi-arm PPF star copolymers, and have a low complex viscosity of high Mn star PPF resin that affords rapid printing with a Mn nearly eight times larger than the largest linear PPF oligomer printed previously.
