The embodiment of the invention provides an asymmetric
brush polymer and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step S1, enabling 5-
norbornene-2-exo, 3-exo-dimethanol to react with 2-(dodecyl thiocarbon
thio) propionic acid, so as to obtain a
norbornene derivative with 2-(dodecyl thiocarbon
thio) propyl ester and a hydroxyl unit at the same time; s2, enabling the
norbornene derivative to react with
caprolactone and
methyl acrylate by utilizing a
light irradiation reaction system in the presence of a ring-opening
polymerization catalyst and a photocatalyst, so as to obtain an asymmetric
macromonomer containing polymethyl
acrylate and
polycaprolactone block units at the same time; s3, enabling the asymmetric
macromonomer to react in the presence of a
Grubbs catalyst, so as to obtain the asymmetric
brush type
polymer. By applying the technical scheme provided by the invention, the technical problems that in the prior art, the synthesis steps of the asymmetric
brush type
polymer are tedious, multiple purification is needed, and the molecular weight and distribution of the polymer are difficult to effectively control can be effectively solved.
