以RAFT聚合制备了十二烷基末端聚乙二醇-b-聚(N-丙烯酰脯氨酸甲酯)两嵌段聚合物D12-EA,并用体积排除色谱和核磁氢谱表征了聚合物的结构。结合紫外-可见光(UV-Vis)、动态光散射(DLS)、静态光散射(LLS)、透射电镜(TEM)以及变温核磁氢谱(1 H NMR)研究了其在水溶液中的可逆再组装行为。不同于普通刺激响应性两嵌段在水溶液中由单分子链组装为纳米聚集体,在温度低于温敏性聚丙烯酰脯氨酸甲酯嵌段(A嵌段)浊点(CP)时,D12-EA两嵌段水溶液自组装形成粒径为20nm的球形胶束;而当温度高于CP时,球形胶束能够可逆地再组装为粒径约90nm的囊泡。变温1 H NMR揭示了当温度高于CP时,A嵌段由亲水壳层迁移至疏水核层,从而使体系再组装为自由能更低的结构。 相似文献
A star-shaped molecule and a layered structure are displayed by the title compound, where the layers consist of high molecular weight polymers. A core molecule that is functionalized by six hydroxyl groups acts as the initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone, leading to a six-arm star polymer. The second layer of the dendritic block copolymer with 12, 24, or 48 hydroxyl groups (depending on the dendron generation in use) is obtained by the linkage of chain ends with functionalized dendrons. These macromoleculse act as “macroinitiators” for the construction of a further layer of poly(ε-caprolatone), the third generation of dendritic block copolymers. 相似文献
Biodegradable polymers can be prepared by the incorporation of cellulose oligomeric blocks into the polymer backbone. Block copolymers prepared by reacting equimolar amounts of depolymerized cellulose triacetate (CTA) with MDI or TDI and block terpolymers prepared by reacting the CTA oligomer with poly (propylene glycol) capped with MDI or TDI were deacetylated and incubated with cellulysin at pH 5 and 50 °C. The intrinsic viscosity of each copolymer decreased substantially even after 10 hr incubation time. There was negligible acid hydrolysis. Cellulose showed a smaller decrease at the same incubation time-probably due to its lower accessibility. Methods for incorporating cellulose oligomeric blocks and other biodegradable blocks into different types of polymers are discussed. 相似文献
Summary: Olefin block copolymers produced by chain shuttling catalysis exhibit crystallinity characteristics that are distinct from what would be expected for typical random olefin copolymers with comparable monomer compositions produced from either ‘single-site’ or heterogeneous catalysis. Olefin block copolymers produced by chain shuttling catalysis have a statistical multiblock architecture. A unique structural feature of olefin-based block copolymers is that the intra-chain distribution of comonomer is segmented (statistically non-random). Fractionating an olefin block copolymer by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation, TREF, results in fractions that have much higher comonomer content than comparable fractions of a random copolymer collected at an equivalent TREF elution temperature. We have developed a “block index” methodology which quantifies the deviation from the expected monomer composition versus the analytical temperature rising elution fractionation, ATREF, elution temperature. When interpreted properly, this index indicates the degree to which the intra-chain comonomer distribution is segmented or blocked. The unique crystallization behavior of block copolymers determine the magnitude of the block index values because the highly crystalline segments along an otherwise non-crystalline chain tend to dominate the ATREF (and DSC) temperature distributions. 相似文献
Summary: The newly developed interactive separation of polyolefins by high temperature liquid chromatography (HTLC) provides new information about the chemical composition distribution of polyolefin elastomers. The technique has the advantage of being quantitative in its separation, and has high resolution for the separation of polyolefins by their chemical composition without influence by cocrystallization. Chemical composition distributions can be determined for individual polymers and blends which contain the full range of comonomer typically present in polyethylene and poylypropylene homopolymers, semi-crystalline copolymers, and amorphous copolymers. HTLC analysis in combination with the other fractionation techniques, such as DSC, TREF, NMR, and xylene fractionation, can be used to estimate the amount of olefin block copolymer present in a block composite produced by chain shuttling catalysis. 相似文献
Summary: Microphase separation transition in block copolymer melts and solutions in equilibrium and under shear flow is reviewed. The non‐equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) computer simulation methodology is presented in detail including the derivation of the SLLOD equations of motion, Gaussian thermostat, and operator‐splitting symplectic integrators. Results of our recent NEMD computer simulation studies of diblock copolymers in a selective solvent under shear flow are presented. Shear‐dependent structural, rheological, and microscopical properties are described. New phase transitions are discovered. The parallel‐perpendicular orientational transition in a weak‐strong flow is revealed. Theoretical approaches are reviewed including the Edwards Hamiltonian, Landau‐Ginzburg model, self‐consistent mean field theory, field‐theoretic simulation, as well as the time‐dependent Landau‐Ginzburg framework and its application to the studies of complex fluids.
