Poly(styrene oxide) (PSO) macromonomers were synthesized in one step through the anionic ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of styrene oxide (SO) at room temperature, with 1-tert-butyl-4,4,4-tris(dimethylamino)-2,2-bis[tris(dimethylamino)-phosphoranylidenamino]-2Ʌ⁵,4Ʌ⁵-catenadi-(phosphazene) (t-BuP₄) as the catalyst, and 4-vinylbenzyl alcohol (VBA) as the functional initiator. The copolymerization of PSO macromonomers and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was carried out at different temperatures through free radical co-polymerization to prepare graft copolymers. The structures and properties of the functional initiator, the obtained macromonomers and the grafted copolymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that functional initiator VBA was synthesized successfully. Super base t-BuP₄ displayed high catalytic activity for the ring-opening polymerization of SO, resulting in PSO macromonomers with polymerizable vinyl group, controlled molecular weight (M_n = 2700 – 11300 g/mol), and narrow molecular weight distribution (< 1.19). NMR measurement confirmed that the copolymerization of PSO macromonomers and MMA was carried out successfully to produce grafted copolymers. With the increase of copolymerization temperature, the conversion of MMA increased (> 96%), while the molecular weight of the copolymers decreased and the molecular weight distribution became narrow. The GPC curves of the product for the copolymerization before precipitation were bimodal, the molecular weight of the obtained polymers was low (6200 – 7800 g/mol) and the molecular weight distribution was wide (6.39 – 10.41). After precipitation, the GPC curves showed a unimodal signal, the molecular weight became larger (4.33 × 10 ⁴ – 5.95 × 10 ⁴ g/mol) and the molecular weight distribution became narrower (1.46 – 1.62). Integral calculation of the GPC curves and NMR measurement confirmed that there were about 3.8% – 4.6% inert components in the synthesized macromonomers. For the thermal analysis of PSO, PMMA- g-PSO and PMMA, the glass transition temperature (T_g) measured by DSC showed that the prepared grafted copolymer had only one T_g, which was in good accordance with the theoretical value calculated according to the Fox equation. This result further proved that the graft copolymers were successfully prepared.
