The invention discloses a preparation method of an eight-arm heteroarm star-shaped
polymer. A
polystyrene lithium compound is synthesized through a
living anionic polymerization method, and then subjected to an
addition reaction with monohydroxy heptaethylene polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane in
benzene to obtain a seven-arm star-shaped
polystyrene crude product; slightly excessive low addition products are removed by utilizing a
fractional precipitation method, thus pure monohydroxy functional seven-arm star-shaped
polystyrene can be obtained, and hydroxyls of the pure monohydroxy functional seven-arm star-shaped polystyrene are subjected to
azide modification to obtain seven-arm star-shaped polystyrene containing
azide groups. On the other hand,
polycaprolactone,
polyethylene glycol, polymethylacrylic acid-N, N-dimethylamino
ethyl ester, and tert-
butyl methacrylate of which the ends contain alkynyls are respectively synthesized, and subjected to
cycloaddition reaction with alkynyls and azides at the generating end of the seven-arm star-shaped polystyrene containing the
azide groups to obtain the product; the method has the characteristics of high reaction efficiency, mild
reaction conditions and few side reactions. The star-shaped
polymer prepared by the invention is controllable in structure and molecular weight, and relatively narrow in molecular
weight distribution.
