用1H NMR研究正丁醇对PEO-PPO-PEO嵌段共聚物胶团形成的影响

采用¹H NMR波谱技术研究了正丁醇对PEO-PPO-PEO嵌段共聚物温度依赖的胶团化过程影响. 实验结果表明,正丁醇的加入急剧地降低嵌段共聚物的临界胶团温度（CMT）. 化学位移变化表明正丁醇烷基端与嵌段共聚物PPO链段之间的疏水相互作用是导致嵌段共聚物CMT降低的主要原因. 选择性激发ROE实验进一步证实,在形成的嵌段共聚物-正丁醇混合胶团中,正丁醇的烷基链段进入胶团内核而正丁醇的羟基端则处于胶团外壳一侧.     

PEO-PPO-PEO嵌段共聚物与没食子酸丙酯的相互作用研究

PEO-PPO-PEO嵌段共聚物在水溶液中能够形成稳定的胶团结构,可作为疏水药物的有效载体[1]。然而,PEO-PPO-PEO与疏水药物在分子水平的作用机理尚未清楚,本工作以没食子酸丙酯(PG)为模型分子,采用动态光散射和核磁共振技术研究了其与嵌段共聚物P123之间的相互作用。研究发现,P123在水溶液中的临界胶团温度(CMT)随PG浓度增加而降低,且较高浓度的PG还能引起P123胶团尺寸的增加。PG烷基链与PPO嵌段甲基间存在较强疏水作用,该作用能促进PPO嵌段的去水化过程,从而降低P123在水溶液中的临界胶团温度(CMT)。此外,PG的酚羟基与嵌段共聚物PEO和PPO嵌段醚氧原子间均存在氢键作用。

芘在Pluronic两亲嵌段共聚物胶团中的增溶

用稳态荧光法研究芘在Ｐｌｕｒｏｎｉｃ两亲嵌段共聚物胶团水溶液中的增溶,结果表明共聚物分子中的ＰＰＯ实际含量越大,越有利于Ｐｙ的增容,加入无机盐ＫＣｌ导致生成了表面较少水化的较大胶团,并且由于ＫＣｌ解离产生的离子使溶剂极性增加,这些因素促进了Ｐｙ的增溶。     

基于自洽场理论两亲高分子自组装的研究

运用扩展的自洽场和密度泛函理论(SCF/DFT),研究ABC蝌蚪形两亲高分子在稀溶剂中的自组装形态,其中蝌蚪形两亲高分子由线形嵌段共聚物链AB嫁接到球形纳米颗粒C上构成.与以往研究的线形ABC两亲高分子相比,蝌蚪形两亲高分子的自组装形态有着很大的不同.在粒子亲溶剂,嵌段共聚物疏溶剂时,各组分间弱分凝条件下,蝌蚪形两亲高分子自组装成胶球状形貌;在强分凝条件下,随着嵌段共聚物疏溶剂性的增强,两亲高分子的自组织态由胶球状转变成四角、三角状形貌,其中嵌段B主要分布在各角上.通过改变各组分间的相互作用,在嵌段A亲溶剂,嵌段B和粒子疏溶剂时,粒子呈平行棒状或小方块状分布在胶球中.     

受限壁的选择性对软受限下星形三嵌段共聚物形貌的影响

基于嵌段共聚物在软受限条件下能够自组装形成很多有序结构,在催化、电子器件、光学传感等领域有广泛的应用价值,目前只对线性三嵌段共聚物在软受限下的自组装形貌做了分析,对星形三嵌段共聚物在软受限下的自组装行为还未有一个统一的定论.在这项研究中,应用模拟退火来研究ABC星形三嵌段共聚物在软受限下的自组装行为,嵌段与溶剂没有选择性下(中性壁),通过调整三个嵌段(f_A、f_B和f_C)的体积分数来构建相图,我们的模拟预测了各种独特的自组装纳米结构,包括薄片+球形、圆柱状,穿孔层,薄片+圆柱体,核壳补丁.然后通过改变嵌段与溶剂的选择性预测了链长度比为1:x:1的共聚物粒子形貌.通过计算接触数、均方根末端距与平均链长的比值以及平均键长随x的变化,验证了形貌转变机制.

Preparation and Characterization of Poly(ethylene oxide)/Graphene Nanocomposites from an Aqueous Medium

The nanocomposite films of a functionalized graphene sheet (FGS) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were cast from the physical blend of an aqueous FGS dispersion assisted by sodium dodecyl sulfate and an aqueous PEO solution. The thermal properties observed by differential scanning calorimetry suggested that FGS had a nucleating effect on the PEO crystallization. However, we found FGS actually hindered the growth of PEO crystals. The dynamic mechanical properties indicated that FGS effectively reinforced the matrix PEO. The FGS also efficiently improved the electric conductivity of PEO. With the addition of 2 parts of FGS per 100 parts of PEO, the conductivity was increased by more than 10³-fold from that of pristine PEO.     

Stimuli-responsive poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymers and complexation with poly(acrylic acid) at low pH

The self-organization of the double hydrophilic triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide), PEO-b-P2VP-b-PEO, was investigated in dilute aqueous solution under several experimental conditions using turbidimetry, as well as static and dynamic light scattering. As a result of the temperature-sensitive properties of the end PEO blocks and the p H-responsive properties of the middle P2VP block, the formation of large star-like micellar nanostructures is observed at high p H, while at low p H, but in the presence of salt and at high temperature, flower-like micelles are formed. Moreover, the viscosimetric and dynamic light scattering studies at low p H revealed that micelle-like nanostructures are formed upon mixing the triblock copolymer with poly(acrylic acid), PAA, due to hydrogen bonding interpolymer complexation.     

A simple swelling and anchoring method for preparing dense and stable poly(ethylene oxide) layers on polystyrene surfaces

In order to obtain dense and stable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) layers for reducing protein adsorption, polystyrene (PS) plates were first soaked in chloroform/methanol mixed organic solvent to swell the polymer. The swelled PS plates were then immersed into Pluronic F127 (amphiphilic block copolymer) aqueous solution, Pluronic F127 molecules were adsorbed favorably on the swelled PS surfaces. After evaporation of organic solvent, the adsorbed Pluronic F127 molecules were trapped and anchored permanently on the PS substrates. The dense and stable PEO layers anchored on the PS surfaces can effectively inhibit protein adsorption.     

Dielectric spectroscopy and viscosity studies of aqueous poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) blend

The complex dielectric function, electric modulus, impedance and ac electrical conductivity behaviour of aqueous solutions of 5 wt% poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and their different volume percent blends were investigated in the frequency range 20 Hz to 1 MHz at 15, 30 and 45 °C. It is found that the real part of dielectric function of these blends at 1 MHz decreases with the increase of PEO concentration and their dc electrical conductivity has strong correlation with the electrode polarization relaxation time. The static permittivity, ionic conductivity, electrode polarization relaxation time and apparent viscosity have linear behaviour with temperature variation at fixed volume concentration of the aqueous polymers blend. The viscosity of these aqueous polymeric blends increases with the increase of PEO concentration. The behaviour of hydrogen bond interactions between the polar segments of PEO and PVP were explored from the comparative change in dielectric parameters and viscosity of the two phase aqueous polymeric systems.     

Conductance study of poly(ethylene oxide)- and poly(propylene oxide)-based polyelectrolytes

The ionic conductivity of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) in pure solution form, individually complexed with salts of Na⁺ and Li⁺, with and without plasticizer (propylene carbonate) and in blended form with individual salt with and without plasticizer, was studied. The conductance measurements were made at various concentrations of salt polymer complexes and at different temperatures. The effects of temperature and plasticizer concentration were measured from Arrhenius conductance plots. It is shown that the addition of salts in pure PEO increases conductance many times. The plasticizer has also same effect. The blending of PEO with PPO gives enhanced conductivity as compared to pure PEO. The activation energies were determined for all the systems which gave higher values for pure PEO and the value decreases with the addition of Li and Na salts and further decreases with the addition of plasticizer. The blending has also lowered the activation energy values which mean that incorporation of PPO in PEO has decreased crystallinity and the amorphous region has increased the local mobility of polymer chains resulting in lower activation energies.     

Properties of nano-ZnO/poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(ethylene oxide) composite thin films

A series of poly(vinyl alcohol)/nano-ZnO composites were prepared by dispersing nano-ZnO in aqueous solutions containing mixtures of the biodegradable polymers poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and composite thin films were prepared by casting. The introduction of nano-ZnO into PVA/PEO mixed solutions significantly decreased the resistivity of the solutions. Ultraviolet absorption, thermal behaviour and visco-elastic properties of the thin films were determined as a function of nano-ZnO content up to 15 wt%. Optimum film properties were obtained with 1 wt% nano-ZnO, higher proportions of nano-ZnO resulting in agglomeration of ZnO particles and deterioration in film properties. The Forouhi and Bloomer model was used for the modelling of ZnO thin films.     

Sequential Structure,Crystallization, and Properties of Biodegradable Poly(ethylene Terephthalate-Co-Ethylene Oxide-Co-Lactide) Copolyester

The sequential structure, isothermal crystallization, tensile property, and degradation behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-ethylene oxide-co-lactide) (ETOLA) copolyester based on melt transesterification of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with poly(ethylene oxide) and oligo(lactic acid) was investigated. The degree of randomness was calculated to be 0.38, showing the incorporation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blocks into the homogeneous sequences of ethylene terephthalate (ET) and lactide (LA) units. The isothermal crystallization kinetics results revealed that the crystallization activation energy of the copolyester calculated using the Arrhenius’ equation was lower than that reported for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), indicating that the addition of PEO and LA units into PET retarded the crystallization of PET. The copolyester exhibited the same crystal structure at different crystallization temperatures, similar to that of PET homopolymer, based on wide angle X-ray diffraction results. The size of the spherulites of ETOLA increased with crystallization temperature. The increase of crystallization temperature reduced the elongation at break of the copolyesters, as well as the enzymatic degradation.     

离子液体中聚氧化乙烯(PEO)相变过程中的氢键效应

我们把Flory-Huggins模型推广应用到聚合物/离子液体体系,研究聚氧化乙烯(PEO)在离子液体[EMIM][BF_4]中相变过程中的氢键效应,理论模型考虑了三种类型氢键(Ⅰ型:PEO-[EMIM]~+氢键,Ⅱ型:PEO-[BF_4]~-氢键和Ⅲ型:[EMIM]~+-[BF_4]~-氢键)的形成,分析了三种类型的氢键分数随温度、 PEO体积分数的变化.研究发现,三种类型的氢键分数随温度的升高而减少.在较小PEO体积分数条件下,增加PEO体积分数,Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型氢键分数轻微地减小;在较大PEO体积分数条件下,增加PEO体积分数,Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型氢键分数急剧减少.Ⅲ型氢键分数随着PEO体积分数的增加而急剧降低.由于三种氢键效应,第二维里系数A_2随温度的增加而减小.通过计算分析不同分子量的PEO在[EMIM][BF_4]中的相图发现,在PEO体积分数较低的条件下,Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型和Ⅲ型氢键是PEO相变的主要驱动力;在PEO体积分数较高的条件下,Ⅰ型和Ⅱ型氢键在PEO相变过程中起到主导作用.     

Single-molecule single crystals of poly(ethylene oxide)

Single-molecule single crystals were prepared from two fractions of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with narrow molar mass distribution and an equimolar mixture of the two fractions. It was proven that the molar mass distribution of the single-molecule single crystals from the mixed sample corresponds to an addition of those of the pure fractions. Well-shaped crystals were obtained after isothermal crystallization or on annealing. A variety of morphologies typical for multimolecule single crystals of PEO were found and are described on the basis of the various known modes of twinning. The results are in agreement with the known unit cell of PEO.
