共聚酯PEIT-PEG结晶性能的研究

通过偏光显微镜、广角X衍射与FTIR三种测试手段对共聚酯PEIT-PEG的结晶性能进行了系统的研究，重点分析了间苯二甲酸(IPA)、聚乙二醇(PEG)分子量和含量对共聚酯结晶性的影响。研究表明，PEIT与PEG之间发生了共聚反应，IPA的引入使PET结晶性能下降，晶粒尺寸减少，结晶度降低。引入PEG后，当PEG分子量和含量较低时，共聚酯结晶性能提高；当PEG含量较高时，在PEG分子量不变的情况下，随着PEG含量的增加，结晶性能下降；若PEG重量含量相同，PEG分子量越高，结晶性能越好。

苯酰亚胺结构对PET阻燃抗熔滴及抑烟的贡献

通过本体聚合方法合成了一系列侧链含苯酰亚胺结构的聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)共聚酯.研究发现,苯酰亚胺单元的引入不仅提高了共聚酯的玻璃化转变温度(T_g)和高温成炭性,并且大大降低了共聚酯高温下的热分解速率.随着苯酰亚胺含量的增加,共聚酯表现出更高的氧指数(LOI)值和更好的阻燃抗熔滴效果.锥形量热测试结果表明,苯酰亚胺结构的引入可以有效地降低共聚酯的峰值热释放速率(p-HRR)、峰值烟释放速率(p-RSR)和总烟释放量(TSR).通过对纯PET和共聚酯燃烧测试后残炭的结构和形貌分析,发现苯酰亚胺结构有助于共聚酯形成石墨化程度更高的致密炭层,这些炭层起到隔热隔氧和抑制有机可燃烟气挥发的作用,在不引入传统阻燃剂的情况下,赋予共聚酯很好的本征阻燃性及抑烟性.

Poly（L—lactide）—Poly（ethylene glycol） Multiblock Copolymers：Synthesis and Properties

Poly (L-lactide)-poly (ethylene glycol) multiblock copolymers with predetermined block lengths were synthesized by polycondensation of PLA diols and PEG diacids. These copolymers presented special properties, such as better miscibility between the two components, low crystallinity and better hydrophilicity, which can be modulated by adjusting the block lengths of the two components.     

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable nanoparticles based on amphiphilic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) triblock copolymer

Amphiphilic triblock copolymers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB-PEG-PHB) were directly synthesized by the ring-opening copolymerization of β-butyrolactone monomer using PEG as macroinitiator. Their structure, thermal properties and crystallization were investigated by ¹H NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. It was found that both PHB and PEG blocks were miscible. With the increase in the PHB block length, the triblock copolymers became amorphous because amorphous PHB block remarkably depressed the crystallization of the PEG block. Biodegradable nanoparticles with core-shell structure were prepared in aqueous solution from the amphiphilic triblock copolymers, and characterized by ¹H NMR, SEM and fluorescence. The hydrophobic PHB segments formed the central solid-like core, and stabilized by the hydrophilic PEG block. The nanoparticle size was close related to the initial concentrations of the nanoparticle dispersions and the compositions of the triblock copolymers. Moreover, the PHB-PEG-PHB nanoparticles also showed good drug loading properties, which suggested that they were very suitable as delivery vehicles for hydrophobic drugs.     

Segmented block copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ethylene terephthalate)

A new series of segmented copolymers were synthesized from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) oligomers and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) by a two‐step solution polymerization reaction. PET oligomers were obtained by glycolysis depolymerization. Structural features were defined by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The copolymer composition was calculated via ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The content of soft PEG segments was higher than that of hard PET segments. A single glass‐transition temperature was detected for all the synthesized segmented copolymers. This observation was found to be independent of the initial PET‐to‐PEG molar ratio. The molar masses of the copolymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 4448–4457, 2004     

Complement activation by sulfonated poly(ethylene glycol)-acrylate copolymers through alternative pathway

Previously, novel poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and sulfonated PEG acrylate (PEG-SO₃A/OA) copolymers were prepared as coating and/or blending materials for biomedical applications. Surfaces modified with copolymers exhibited increased anti-coagulation properties and decreased plasma adsorption level due to increased hydrophilic properties and reorientation characteristics of PEG/PEG-SO₃A chains in water phase. As continuation study, anti-complement effects of PEG-SO₃/OA copolymers were investigated in vitro, and compared with those of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and PEG/OA. C3 activation by PEG-SO₃/OA samples was lower than that by PEG/OA samples, which was attributed to decreased surface nucleophile level of samples. PEG-SO₃/OA samples increased inhibition of Bb production, resulting in decreased C5 activation. Owing to reduced activations of C3 and C5, PEG-SO₃/OA samples markedly decreased SC5b-9 levels in plasma.     

Characterization of amphiphilic hydrocarbon modified Poly(ethylene glycol) synthesized through ring-opening reaction of 2-(1-octadecenyl)succinic anhydride

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) triblock and diblock amphiphilic block copolymers were synthesized from poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether, respectively. The hydroxyl groups of PEG readily react with 2-(1-octadecenyl) succinic anhydride (OSA) at 140 °C through ring-opening reaction of the succinic anhydride. Both the PEG-OSA diblock and triblock copolymers are produced without use of any solvent or catalyst. The molecular structure of the copolymers was characterized by ¹H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, and the thermal properties by DSC. The behavior of the copolymers in selective and nonselective solvents was studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy in deuterium oxide and d-chloroform. The aggregation of the polymers in water was studied with a particle size analyzer and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) in bright field mode. The results show that the hydrophobic C₁₈ chain with intramolecular succinic anhydride linker can be attached to the hydrophilic PEG chain, an ester bond forming between the blocks. The copolymers exhibit flexible, liquid-like hydrophobic blocks even in water, which is a nonsolvent for OSA. PEG-OSA block copolymers self-organize in water, forming micellar polymer aggregates in nanoscale.     

Crystallization behavior, thermal property and biodegradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(ethylene glycol) grafting copolymer

The poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB)/poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) grafting copolymer was successfully prepared by PHB and acrylate groups ended PEGM using AIBN as initiator. The crystallization behavior, thermal stability and environmental biodegradability of PHB/PEG grafting copolymers were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Biodegradation test in vitro. In the results, all the grafting copolymers were found to show the X-ray diffraction arising from the PHB crystal lattice, while none of the PEG crystallized peaks could be found even though the graft percent reached 20%. This result indicated that PEG molecules were randomly grafted onto PHB chain. The thermal properties measured by DSC showed that the melting temperature(T_m) and glass transition temperature (T_g) were both shifted to lower temperature with the graft percent increasing, and this broadened the narrow processability window of PHB. According to TGA results, the thermal stability of the grafting copolymers is not changed compared to pure PHB. From the biodegradation test, it could be concluded that degradation occurred gradually from the surface to the inside and that the degradation rate could be adjusted by the PEG grafting ratio. In another words, the biodegradation profiles of PHB/PEG grafting copolymer can be controlled. These properties make PHB/PEG grafting copolymer have promising potential applications especially in agriculture fields.     

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-t-butylacrylamide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-t-butylacrylamide) triblock copolymers: synthesis and thermogelation properties of aqueous solutions

Novel triblock copolymers with PEG middle blocks of 1–10 kDa and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-t-butylacrylamide) statistical copolymer side arms with DP_n?≈?88 and different compositions, were synthesized by SET-LRP. The thermogelation properties of their aqueous solutions depended on both hydrophobic monomer content of the side blocks and molecular weight (MW) of the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) middle block, as proven by dynamic rheometry, DSC, and tube inversion method measurements. At constant PEG chain length, increasing TBAM proportions led to a gelation process occurring at progressively lower temperatures, as well as to a lower stability of the forming hydrogels in the case of shorter-PEG-chain block copolymers. By employing longer PEG blocks (M_PEG ≥6,000 Da), stable hydrogels with the gelation temperature below 37 °C could be obtained. For a constant composition of the copolyacrylamide blocks, the dependence of the phase transition temperature (T_ph) on M_PEG displayed a different shape at different polymer solution concentrations, because of the stronger variation of T_ph with polymer concentration as M_PEG increased. Also, the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels resulting from 20 wt.% polymer aqueous solutions at 37 °C were stronger affected by the MW of the PEG middle block than by the hydrophobic character of the thermosensitive side blocks.     

Synthesis of polyvinyltrimethylsilane-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers and properties of gas-separating membranes formed on their basis

A method is developed for the synthesis of the graft copolymer polyvinyltrimethylsilane-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) via the interaction of a brominated polymer with the methyl ether of a low-molecular-mass poly(ethylene glycol). Graft copolymer samples containing up to 79 wt % poly(ethylene glycol) are synthesized through this method. The properties of the graft copolymers and blends formed on their basis with a specially synthesized low-molecular-mass PEG derivative with a terminal trimethylsilyl group are investigated. Physical blends are prepared in order to increase the content of ethylene oxide groups while the film-forming properties of the composite materials are preserved. As shown by structural studies, the graft copolymers are amorphous single-phase systems, while the related blends are two-phase disperse systems, in which one phase is enriched in polytrimethylvinylsilane and the other is enriched in PEG. Studies of the gas-transport behavior of the samples reveal that the introduction of PEG, in contrast to the nonselective initial polymer, results in the formation of PVTMS-based materials that are selective for CO₂ in mixtures with H₂.     

Photocurable biodegradable poly(ɛ-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol) multiblock copolymers showing shape-memory properties

Biodegradable multiblock copolymers were synthesized by a polycondensation of poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) diols of molecular weight (MW)=3,000 and poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEG) of MW=3,000 with 4,4′-(adipoyldioxy)dicinnamic acid (CAC) dichloride as a chain extender in diphenyl ether at 180 °C for 2 h, and were characterized by GPC, ¹H-NMR, FTIR, UV, DSC, and WAXS. These photosensitive copolymers were irradiated by a 400-W high-pressure mercury lamp (λ>280 nm) from 5–60 min to form a network structure. The gel contents increased with irradiation time, and attained ca. 90% after 60 min for all copolymers. The degree of swelling in a distilled water at ambient temperature, and the rate of degradation in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2) at 37 °C increased with increasing PEG components. The shape-memory tests were performed by a cyclic thermomechanical experiments for the photocured CAC/PCL/PEG (75/25) films. The film with a gel content of 57% showed the best shape-memory property with strain fixity rate of 100% and strain recovery rate of 88%.
