Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-Polystyrene/TiO2 Nanocomposites Via Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization

A diblock copolymer, poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PMMA-b-PS), was grafted onto the surface of nano-titania (nano-TiO₂) successfully via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The surface of TiO₂ nanoparticles was modified initially by attaching dithioester groups to the surface using silane coupling agent 3-(chloropropyl)triethoxy silane and sodium ethyl xanthate. The polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene were then initiated and propagated on the TiO₂ surface by RAFT polymerization. The resulting composite nanoparticles were characterized by means of XPS, FT-IR, ¹H NMR and TGA. The results confirmed the successful grafting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and diblock copolymer chains onto the surface of TiO₂. The amount of PMMA grafted onto the TiO₂ surface increased with the polymerization time. Moreover, the kinetic studies revealed that the ln([M]₀/[M]), where [M]₀ is the initial and [M] is the time dependent monomer concentrations, increased linearly with the polymerization time, indicating the living characteristics of the RAFT polymerization.     

Synthesis of Amphiphilic ABCBA-Type Pentablock Copolymer from Consecutive ATRPs and Self-Assembly in Aqueous Solution

Summary: A novel amphiphilic ABCBA-type pentablock copolymer with properties that are sensitive to temperature and pH, poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(2,2,2- trifluoroethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA- b-PTFEMA-b-PCL-b-PTFEMA-b-PDMAEMA), was synthesized via consecutive atom transfer radical polymerizations (ATRPs). The copolymers obtained were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, respectively. The aggregation behaviors of the pentablock copolymers in aqueous solution with different pH (pH = 4.0, 7.0 and 8.5) were studied. Transmission electron microscopic images revealed that spherical micelles from self-assembly of the pentablock copolymer were prevalent in all cases. The mean diameters of these micelles increased from 34, 46, to 119 nm when the pH of the aqueous solution decreased from 8.5, 7.0, to 4.0, respectively.     

Hierarchical structure microspheres of PCL block copolymers via electrospraying as coatings for fabric with mechanical durability and self‐cleaning ability

The various morphology and structure microspheres were fabricated via one‐step single‐solvent electrospraying of hydrophilic and hydrophobic block modified copolymer of polycaprolactone (PCL). A honeycomb‐like hierarchical structure microspheres of PCL‐b‐PTFOA(4h) and abundant nanometer pores of PCL‐b‐PEG400 microspheres were obtained due to the solvent evaporation, thermally and polymer diffusion‐induced phase separation effect. Furthermore, a superhydrophobic coatings and robust superhydrophobic‐coated cotton woven fabric surfaces were prepared by using PCL‐b‐PTFOA(4h) microspheres with hierarchical structure and low surface energy. The contact angle (CA) and sliding angle (SA) of PCL‐b‐PTFOA(4h) microspheres‐coated cotton woven fabric surfaces reached 164.4 ± 5.5° and 6.8 ± 0.5°, respectively, which allows for self‐cleaning. The self‐cleaning test demonstrated that the coated superhydrophobic surface could shed aqueous dyes and dust without any trace. The superhydrophobic‐coated fabric shows good soaping fastness against mechanical abrasion without significant reduction of CA. This electrospraying coating of block copolymers can provide a simple, facile, and promising technique for producing multifunctional textiles.     

Surface modification of multiwalled carbon nanotubes via nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization

The nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization of styrene was carried out on the surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) initiated by an MWNT‐supported initiator multiwalled carbon nanotube–2″,2″,6″,6″‐tetramethylpiperidinyloxy (MWNT–Tempo). The content of polystyrene grafted from the surface was controlled by changes in the polymerization conditions, such as the reaction times or the ratios of monomers to initiators. The obtained polystyrene‐grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT–PSs) were further used to initiate the polymerization of 4‐vinylpyridine to get polystyrene‐b‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine)‐grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT–PS‐b‐P4VPs). In contrast to unmodified MWNTs, MWNT–PSs had relatively good dispersibility in various organic solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran, CHCL₃, and o‐dichlorobenzene. The structures and properties of MWNT–PSs and MWNT–PS‐b‐P4VPs were characterized and studied with several methods, including thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet–visible, and transmission electron microscopy. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Syntheses and characterizations of poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate]–poly(propylene oxide)–poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] ABA triblock copolymers

A novel, near‐monodisperse, well‐defined ABA triblock copolymer, poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate]‐b‐poly(propylene oxide)‐b‐poly[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate], was synthesized via oxyanion‐initiated polymerization. The initiator was a telechelic‐type potassium alcoholate prepared from poly(propylene glycol) and KH in dry tetrahydrofuran. The copolymers produced were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). GPC and ¹H NMR analyses showed that the products obtained were the desired copolymers, with narrow molecular weight distributions (ca. 1.09–1.11) very close to that of the original poly(propylene glycol). ¹H NMR, surface tension measurements, and dynamic light scattering all indicated that the triblock copolymer led to interesting aqueous solution behaviors, including temperature‐induced micellization and very high surface activity. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Poly(vinylpyrrolidone-b-styrene) block copolymers tethered surfaces for protein adsorption and cell adhesion regulation

Poly(vinylpyrrolidone-b-styrene) (PVP-b-PS) diblock copolymers tethered to glass surfaces were prepared, and the effects on protein adsorption and cellular behavior to the glass and the modified glass surfaces investigated. The PVP-b-PS grafting process was confirmed by water contact angle and XPS measurements. The results obtained for the water contact angles suggest that there are two phases that coexist on the PVP-b-PS block copolymer tethered surface, under aqueous conditions. Although the PVP-b-PS surface possessed, to some extent, a protein resistant property, following introduction of the PS segment to the end of tethered PVP, both fibrinogen and lysozyme adsorption were increased significantly. The PVP-b-PS modified surface, based on Western-blot analysis, appeared to have the greatest amount of surface bound vitronectin, however the conformation of the adsorbed vitronectin may have subsequently been affected by the surface tethered copolymer as was suggested by cell culture results. From these results, we proposed that protein adsorption and cell adhesion can be regulated by tuning the chemical compositions of diblock copolymers tethered to surfaces.     

Design and green synthesis of 1-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazine chemically grafted reduced graphene oxide for supercapacitor application

In this paper, we report the green synthesis of 1-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazine chemically grafted rGO (P.Fc/rGO) as a battery-type supercapacitor electrode material. For this purpose, initially, the ability of the aqueous Damson fruit extract is investigated in the reduction reaction of graphene oxide (GO). 1-(4-ferrocenylbutyl)piperazine (P.Fc) is synthesized via nucleophilic substitution reaction of piperazine with as-synthesized 4-chlorobutylferrocene. In continue, P. Fc is incorporated to GO by ring-opening reaction of epoxide groups on the GO surface. In the next step, the modified reduction method by aqueous Damson fruit extract was used to prepare the P.Fc/rGO from P.Fc/GO. The prepared materials were characterized by various techniques including FT-IR, Uv–vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, and BET. N₂ adsorption–desorption data of P.Fc/rGO nanocomposite shows that the surface area is 37.746 m² g⁻¹. The capability of P.Fc/rGO nanocomposite for using as an energy storage electrode material in battery-type supercapacitor was examined by investigation of its electrochemical behavior by CV, EIS, and GCD measurements. The charge storage capacity of 1,102 mAh g⁻¹ is achieved at 2.5 A g⁻¹. This nanocomposite shows 89% retention of charge storage capacity after 2000 CV cycles.     

Synthesis,micelle formation,and bulk properties of poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(pentafluorostyrene)‐g‐polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane amphiphilic hybrid copolymers

The synthesis, micelle formation, and bulk properties of semifluorinated amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(pentafluorostyrene)‐g‐cubic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS) hybrid copolymers is reported. The synthesis of amphiphilic PEG‐b‐PPFS block copolymers are achieved using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) at 100 °C in trifluorotoluene using modified poly(ethylene glycol) as a macroinitiator. Subsequently, a proportion of the reactive para‐F functionality on the pentafluorostyrene units was replaced with aminopropylisobutyl POSS through aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions. The products were fully characterized by ¹H‐NMR and GPC. The products, PEG‐b‐PPFS and PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS, were subsequently self‐assembled in aqueous solutions to form micellar structures. The critical micelle concentrations (cmc) were estimated using two different techniques: fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The cmc was found to decrease concomitantly with the number of POSS particles grafted per copolymer chain. The hydrodynamic particle sizes (R_h) of the micelles, calculated from DLS data, increase as the number of POSS molecules grafted per copolymer chain increases. For example, R_h increased from ～60 nm for PEG‐b‐PPFS to ～80 nm for PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS25 (25 is the average number of POSS particles grafted copolymer chain). Static light scattering (SLS) data confirm that the formation of larger micelles by higher POSS containing copolymers results from higher aggregation numbers (N_agg), caused by increased hydrophobicity. The R_g/R_h values, where R_g is the radius of gyration calculated from SLS data, are consistent with a spherical particle model having a core‐shell structure. Thermal characterization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveals that the grafted POSS acts as a plasticizer; the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the PPFS block in the copolymer decreases significantly with increasing POSS content. Finally, the rhombohedral crystal structure of POSS in PEG‐b‐PPFS‐g‐POSS was verified by wide angle X‐ray diffraction measurements. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Studies of electroosmotic flow and the effects of protein adsorption in plasma‐polymerized microchannel surfaces

This paper presents a study of EOF properties of plasma‐polymerized microchannel surfaces and the effects of protein (fibrinogen and lysozyme) adsorption on the EOF behavior of the surface‐modified microchannels. Three plasma polymer surfaces, i.e. tetraglyme, acrylic acid and allylamine, are tested. Results indicate EOF suppression in all plasma‐coated channels compared with the uncoated glass microchannel surfaces. The EOF behaviors of the modified microchannels after exposure to protein solutions are also investigated and show that even low levels of protein adsorption can significantly influence EOF behavior, and in some cases, result in the reversal of flow. The results also highlight that EOF measurement can be used as a method for detecting the presence of proteins within microchannels at low surface coverage (<1 ng/cm² on glass). Critically, the results illustrate that the non‐fouling tetraglyme plasma polymer is able to sustain EOF. Comparison of the plasma‐polymerized surfaces with conventionally grafted polyelectrolyte surfaces demonstrates the stabilities of the plasma polymer films, enabling multiple EOF runs over 3 days without deterioration in performance. The results of this study clearly demonstrate that plasma polymers enable the surface chemistry of microfluidic devices to be tailored for specific applications. Critically, the deposition of the non‐fouling tetraglyme coating enables stable EOF to be induced in the presence of protein.
