PROFESSOR EUGEN KOVAL’CHUK AND SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL "PHYSICO-CHEMISTRY OF POLYMERS": 2019 – THE YEAR OF TWO ANNIVERSARIES

The creative work and contribution of the professor Eugen Koval’chuk to the development of the Scientific School "Physico-Chemistry of Polymers" of the Department of Physical and Colloid Chemistry of Ivan Franko National University of L’viv has been analyzed. Results of the studies of electrochemical initiation of polymerization of vinyl monomers and synthesis of electric conductive polymers with a system of conjugated π-bonds have been reviewed in detail, namely: 1) methods of the initiation of polymerization by free radicals which generated during the electrochemical oxidation of carboxy-anions (Kolbe electrosynthesis), anions of perchlorate and sulfate acids, in the Men+ R–O–O–R redox system (where the Men+ are ions of the metals with variable oxidation degree, namely Fe, Ni, Co, V, In, Cu, Cr, Mn and Ce, which are generated by the anodic dissolution of metal; R–O–O–R – peroxycompounds, in particular S2O82–-ions), and also during electroreduction of arendiazonium salts; 2) the proposed models of polymerization deposition of polymers on the surface of electric conductive substrates; 3) methods of production of metal-filled polymeric compositions with equable distribution of particles in the polymeric matrix and proposed mechanism of the initiation of radical polymerization by peroxodisulfate-ions in the presence of metal particles; 4) the proposed mechanism of oxidative polycondensation of aniline and its derivatives at the initial stages of the process; 5) influence of the nature and position of substituant in the aromatic ring of aniline on the proceedings of oxidative polycondensation of monomer and structure of produced products etc. Particular attention has been given on the practical applications of electric conductive polymers in chemical power sources and sensorics, and also on the electrochemically generated luminescence (ECL). It particular, the generation of light radiation during electrochemical synthesis of polyaniline under high (more than +1.6 V) values of the potential of a working electrode and the proposed method of the initiation of polymer chains on the base of ECL intensity dependence on concentration of monomer (at the electrochemical initiation of polymerization) are considered.

Keywords: polymerization, vinyl monomers, conducting polymers, electrochemiluminescence.
