De nouveaux complexes allyl-borohydrure de terres rares trivalents, RE(BH4)2(C3H5)(THF)x (RE = Sc, x = 2; Y, La, Nd, Sm, x = 3) ont été synthétisés. Les complexes ont été caractérisés, y compris par diffraction des rayons X, et leur réactivité vis-à-vis de l’insertion de petites molécules organiques est décrite, qui met en jeu de façon comparative les liaisons métal-borohydrure et métal-allyle. Dans ce travail de thèse, il a été montré que le complexe de néodyme est capable d’amorcer la polymérisation de l’isoprène, seul ou combiné avec un co-catalyseur de type magnésium, conduisant à du trans-1,4-polyisoprène avec une bonne activité. Cette famille de complexes est également très active en polymérisation par ouverture de cycle des esters cycliques tels que l’ɛ-caprolactone et le L-lactide, avec amorçage de la réaction via le ligand borohydrure plutôt que l'allyle. La copolymérisation statistique L-lactide/ɛ-caprolactone a été réalisée, conduisant à la formation de copolymères avec une large gamme de microstructures, de statistique à alternée. Une autre approche organométallique a été abordée avec la synthèse de nouveaux complexes borohydrures de terres rares (Sc, Y, Nd) à base de ligands Phosphasalen. Certains de ces complexes ont été isolés et caractérisés. / A series of new trivalent rare earth allyl-borohydride complexes with the formula RE(BH4)2(C3H5)(THF)x (RE = Sc, x = 2; Y, La, Nd, Sm, x = 3) was synthesized. The complexes were fully characterized including by X-ray and their reactivity toward small organic molecules insertion is described, which involves comparatively metal-borohydride and metal-allyl bonds. In this dissertation, It was shown that the neodymium congener could initiate isoprene polymerisation, as single component or combined with a magnesium co-catalyst, to afford trans-1,4-polyisoprene with good activity. All the complexes were also found extremely active toward the Ring-Opening Polymerisation of ɛ-caprolactone and L-lactide with initiation through the borohydride rather than the allyl moiety. The statistical copolymerisation of L-lactide and ɛ-caprolactone was successfully performed with all complexes affording copolymers with a wide range of microstructure, from random to fairly alternating. Another organometallic approach has been studied with the synthesis of novel rare earth (Sc, Y, Nd) borohydride complexes based on Phosphasalen ligands. Some of these complexes have been isolated and characterized.

Aluminum complexes, [O3PMe]AlR(R = OtBu, OPh), containing tris-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-phenyl)phosphine ([O3P]H3) which is a novel tridentate ligand have been synthesized and characterized by NMR, X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis. Theses complexes were used as catalysts for ring-opening polymerization of £`-caprolactone. We suggested that the stereo effect of catalysts is the main factor in the ring-opening polymerization and compared the mechanism with DFT. In additional, we studied the electronic states and electronic chemistry of [O3PMe]AlR by DFT, UV and PLE. The novel ligand, bis(3,5-tert-butyl-2-phenoxy) tert-butylphosphine ([tBuOPO]H2), reacted with alkali metals such as n-BuLi, NaH and KH to form a series metal complexes, [tBuOPO]M2(Solvent)x (M = Li, Na, K). These metal complexes are all dimeric molecules characterized by X-ray diffraction, NMR and elemental analysis. Moreover, we reacted {[tBuOPO]Li2(DME)}2 with metal complexes of group 4, TiCl3 and MCl4(THF)2 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf), and we received [tBuOPO]2M and [tBuOPO]MCl2(THF) (M = Ti, Zr, Hf). We also synthesized alkoxide complexes of the series metal complexes and studied the catalytic reactivity for ring-opening polymerizations. Furthermore, tantalum complexes, [tBuOPO]2TaX (X = F, Cl) and [tBuOPO]TaCl3, have been synthesized and characterized. Especially synthesizing [tBuOPO]TaCl3 should be carefully controlled by lowering the concentration of TaCl5.

Aliphatic polyesters prepared by the ring opening polymerization of lactones and lactides, are versatile polymers having good hydrolyzability, mechanical properties and biocompatibility. These characteristics make them a leading material in biomedical and pharmaceutical industries as a resorbable implant and a vehicle for controlled drug delivery. An extensive research effort has been made to develop new initiators, catalysts for the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters. Many effective initiators based on alkali metals, metal oxides have been developed for anionic polymerization of lactones. The main objectives of this project were to develop a novel catalyst by utilizing fully biocompatible and non-toxic reagents for the synthesis of polycaprolactone (PCL) by ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters at reasonably low temperature and a synthesis of hybrid silica nano-composite for biomedical applications and its characterization. Silica and dry calcium hydride reagents were used to successfully prepare heterogeneous catalysts for the ring opening polymerization of cyclic ester monomer å-caprolactone at reasonably low temperature of 100 oC. Two kinds of catalyst were prepared with non-functionalized and silane functionalized silica. The GP silane functionalized silica catalyst showed higher activity and higher product yield as compared to non-functionalized catalyst during polymerization at the same temperature. The in-situ polymerization kinetics of both reactions was studied using Raman spectroscopy. A silica based nano-composite was also synthesized which has a potential application in bone tissue engineering and possible drug delivery. The synthesized polyester and hybrid silica nano-composite were characterized with different analytical techniques to confirm required product formation.

Presented diploma thesis deals with preparation of bioresorbable polyurethanes (PUR) and their characterization. The theoretical part describes the feedstocks used for the PUR preparation and summarizes the knowledge about PUR used in medical applications. Experimental part presents characterization of bioresorbable PUR films prepared by reactive casting in one step without the use of organic solvents. The absence of solvents represents a great advantage due to their toxicity and subsequent removal from the resulting product. The synthesis of PUR was conducted under an inert atmosphere by polyaddition reaction of hydrophobic poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Synthesis under an inert atmosphere was necessary due to a side reaction of isocyanate with atmospheric humidity, which causes the formation of porous films instead of continuous ones. Prepared PUR films were characterized for different PCL/PEG ratios and different isocyanate index (ratio of NCO/OH reacted groups). PUR (isocyanate index 1.05) with PCL content 90 wt. % and higher demonstrated tought behavior in mechanical tests. Increase of isocyanate index and decrease of PCL content under 90 wt. % caused fragile sample behavior. The reason of such behavior was the different ability of PCL to crystallize in the structure of the polyurethane network. Increasing the PEG content has improved the ability of PUR films to absorb water and enhanced the rate of hydrolytic degradation. By adjusting the PCL/PEG ratio and the amount of isocyanate, solvent free bioresorbable PUR with suitable mechanical (flexibility, toughness) and physical properties (swelling, degradation) can be obtained. Prepared PUR films could be used in biomedicine e.g. as vascular grafts.

Due to the excellent properties of biodegradability and biocompatibility, aliphatic polycarbonate and polyesters are very promising either as biomaterials or as environmentally friendly materials to address growing ecological concerns. The first chapter describes an overview of ring-opening polymerization, enzymatic polymerization and their application on the polymerization of cyclic carbonate and lactones. The second chapter describes the synthesis of enantiomerically pure functional polycarbonate from a novel seven-membered-cyclic carbonate (5S, 6S)- Dimethyl 5,6- isopropylidene-1,3-dioxepin-2-one (ITC) derived from naturally occurring L-tartaric acid. The monomer was synthesized in three steps and screened for polymerization with four commercially available lipases. Block co-polymerization of ITC with ε-caprolactone in 'one-shot feeding' is reported in the third chapter. It is the first report of 'one-shot' block copolymerization of ε-caprolactone with a cyclic carbonate monomer. The deprotection of the ketal groups resulted in copolymers containing free hydroxy groups in the polymer backbone. In chapter four, star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone)'s (PCL) series based on two tetra-hydroxy resorcinarenes initiators were reported. These polymers were synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization. The data suggest that the initiator core directed the PCL-arms toward more interactions resulting in increasing in the rigidity of star-polymers compare to linear-PCL.

Aluminum complexes, specifically those employing bulky ligand frameworks such as sal (sal = 2-[CH═N(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)]-4,6-tBu2-phenoxide) and alpha-diimine (alpha-diimine = [(2,6-iPr2-C6H3)N═C(Me)]2) derivatives are studied in various contexts. During ethylene polymerization with LCu(II) catalysts in the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO), ligand (L) transfer is observed from the copper centre to the aluminum centre present in MAO. In the alpha-diimine case, an (imino-amido)AlMe2 complex is formed by alpha-diimine ligand transfer to aluminum followed by alkylation of one imino moiety in the ligand backbone. These ligand transfer products are then shown to be active as ethylene polymerization catalysts, bringing into question the role of the copper species. The (sal)AlMe2, (sal)AlMeCl and (imino-amido)AlMe2 complexes were also used as initiators in the ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone. Polymerization was studied with and without addition of tert-butanol as a co-initiator to determine its role and necessity in the catalytic cycle. Finally, the (imino-amido)AlMe2 complex was also used as the starting complex in attempts at forming a mononuclear aluminum(I) target species. Reaction of (imino-amido)AlMe2 with excess I2 proved successful in forming the isolable precursor, (imino-amido)AlI2. Attempts at reducing (imino-amido)AlI2 with excess potassium were carried out in hopes of forming a very rare example of a mononuclear aluminum(I) species.

A poli ('épsilon'-caprolactona) (PCL) é um polímero sintético biodegradável bastante utilizado na área médica. Fibras de PCL obtidas por eletrofiação formam mantas porosas propícias para aplicações biomédicas como na engenharia tecidual. Em algumas aplicações as fibras alinhadas de PCL são de interesse, pois conferem melhorias em determinadas propriedades quando comparadas com fibras aleatórias. A PCL é considerada um polímero moderadamente hidrofóbico e a eletrofiação aumenta a hidrofobicidade das mantas. Os surfactantes têm a capacidade de modificar a superfície das fibras poliméricas aumentando a sua molhabilidade. Este trabalho versa sobre a influência da adição de surfactantes catiônico (CTAB), aniônico (SDS) e não-iônico (Triton X-100) na morfologia e no alto alinhamento de fibras de PCL obtidas por eletrofiação com coletor rotativo. Preparou-se solução de PCL contendo clorofórmio e acetona como solventes. As concentrações em massa de surfactantes utilizadas foram: 0,05; 0,1; 0,5; 1,0 e 1,5 wt%. As soluções foram caracterizadas através de medições de tensão superficial, condutividade elétrica e reologia. As morfologias das fibras foram analisadas com Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV) juntamente com o software imageJ e o plugin OrientationJ. As fibras foram caracterizadas quanto às propriedades térmicas (DSC), análise química (FTIR) e molhabilidade (ângulo de contato). Através dos resultados obtidos, observou-se que a condutividade elétrica das soluções foi aumentada de acordo com o tipo de surfactante. A reologia foi alterada com os tipos e as concentrações, enquanto a tensão superficial não apresentou mudança significativa com a adição dos surfactantes. Os surfactantes CTAB e SDS alteraram o alinhamento das fibras de PCL e, dependendo da concentração, melhoraram a uniformidade dos diâmetros das fibras. Os surfactantes foram capazes de melhorar a molhabilidade das mantas, enquanto as propriedades térmicas foram mantidas / Abstract: The electrospinning is one of the main techniques to produce ultrafine polymeric fibers in the nano and submicron scale. Poly ('épsilon'-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biodegradable synthetic polymer widely used in the medical field. Electrospun PCL fibers form porous mats favorable for biomedical applications such as in tissue engineering. PCL aligned fibers are of interest since it expand the applications of these fibers and confer improvements in certain properties when compared with random fibers. PCL considered a moderately hydrophobic polymer and the electrospinning increases the hydrophobicity of the mats. Surfactants have the ability to modify the surface of polymeric fibers increasing its wettability. This work is concerned with the study of the effects of adding cationic (CTAB), anionic (SDS) and nonionic (Triton X-100) surfactants in the morphology and alignment PCL fibers obtained by electrospinning used a rotating collector. Poly ('épsilon'-caprolactone) (PCL) solutions with chloroform and acetone as solvent were prepared and different concentrations of surfactants were used: 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; and 1,5 wt% in mass. Solutions characterized by measurements of surface tension, electric conductivity and viscosity. The morphology of the fibers analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) together with the ImageJ software and OrientationJ plugin. The fibers characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wettability (contact angle). Through the results obtained, the electrical conductivity of the solutions increased according to the type of surfactant. The rheology changed with the types and concentrations, while the surface tension did not change significantly with the addition of surfactants. The presence of surfactants CTAB and SDS influence the alignment of the PCL fibers, and depending on the concentration, improve the uniformity of fiber diameters. The surfactants were able to improve the wettability of mats, while the thermal properties maintained / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica
