Block Copolymer Nanotubes

Rigid cylindrical micelles are made from polyisoprene-block-poly(2-cinnamoylethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(tert-butyl acrylate). The PI-PCEMA-PtBA polymer assembles to micelles with PI as the core, PCEMA as the shell, and PtBA as the corona. The cylindrical structure is fixed by photocrosslinking the PCEMA shell, and PCEMA-PtBA nanotubes are obtained by degrading the PI core with ozone (see scheme).     

Morphological switching of unimolecular micelles of ternary graft copolymers in different solvents

A series of ternary graft copolymers with poly(3‐azido‐2‐hydroxypropyl methacrylate) (P(GMA‐N₃)) as the main chain, end‐functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (MPEG), poly(t‐butyl acrylate) (PtBA), and poly(2‐cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate) (PCEMA) as the side‐chains, was synthesized via the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click chemistry. The formation of well‐defined ternary graft copolymers was confirmed by both size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and ¹H NMR spectroscopy The loose and worm‐like morphology of the ternary graft copolymer in a common solvent (N,N‐dimethylformamide) for both the backbone and the grafts was directly visualized via atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average height, width, and length of these solvated macromolecules were about 1.5, 17, and 45 nm, respectively. The ternary graft copolymers underwent self‐assembly in different selective solvents (dichloromethane, methanol, and water) and thus yielded unimolecular micelles (UMs) with different morphologies. The morphological transitions in response to variations in the selective solvents was investigated by AFM as well as/or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Experimental results showed that the micellar morphology of the ternary graft copolymer changed from a pearl‐necklace to a worm‐like structure and then to a spherical structure when the selective solvent was respectively changed from CH₂Cl₂ to CH₃OH and then to H₂O. SEC characterization revealed that the compact globules formed in H₂O with PCEMA/PtBA as the hydrophobic core arose due to intramolecular folding. Thus, multicompartment UMs were generated. The volume ratio of the multicompartment UMs formed in H₂O was in close agreement with their molecular weight ratio. The hydrodynamic diameters (D_h) of the acquired multicompartment UMs and their polydispersity indices were characterized by dynamic light scattering. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Environmentally responsive "hairy" nanoparticles: mixed homopolymer brushes on silica nanoparticles synthesized by living radical polymerization techniques

This article reports on the preparation of environmentally responsive "hairy" nanoparticles by growth of mixed poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA)/polystyrene (PS) brushes from silica particles using living radical polymerization techniques and subsequent hydrolysis of PtBA to produce amphiphilic mixed poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/PS brushes. Silica particles were synthesized by the Stober process and were functionalized with an asymmetric difunctional initiator-terminated monolayer. Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization of tBA was carried out in the presence of a free initiator. Kinetics study showed that the polymerization was well controlled. By cleaving PtBA off the particles, the molecular weights of the grafted and free polymers were found to be essentially identical. Mixed PtBA/PS brushes were obtained by the nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of styrene from PtBA particles. The M(n) of the grafted PS was found to be the same as that of the free PS formed in the solution from the free initiator. Amphiphilic mixed PAA/PS brush-coated nanoparticles were synthesized from mixed PtBA/PS particles by hydrolysis of PtBA with iodotrimethylsilane. Tyndall scattering experiments and (1)H NMR study showed that the mixed PAA/PS particles can be dispersed and form a stable suspension in CHCl(3), a selective solvent for PS, and also in CH(3)OH, a selective solvent for PAA, demonstrating the capability of these hairy nanoparticles to undergo chain reorganization in response to environmental changes.     

Nanoscale phase separation in mixed poly(tert-butyl acrylate)/polystyrene brushes on silica nanoparticles under equilibrium melt conditions

This communication reports on the study of microphase separation of well-defined mixed poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA)/polystyrene (PS) brushes on silica nanoparticles under equilibrium melt conditions. Mixed PtBA/PS brushes were synthesized from an asymmetric, difunctional initiator-terminated self-assembled monolayer by combining atom transfer radical polymerization and nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization. Two symmetric PtBA/PS mixed brush samples with different molecular weights were used in this study and were thermally annealed in vacuum at 150 degrees C. For the mixed brushes with number average molecular weights (Mn) of 24 200 g/mol for PtBA and 23 000 g/mol for PS, two glass transitions were observed in the differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Transmission electron microscopy study showed that the two grafted polymers underwent a lateral microphase separation, forming a random worm-like pattern with a feature size of approximately 10 nm on the silica particle surfaces. In contrast, the mixed brushes with a Mn of 10,400 g/mol for PtBA and 11,900 g/mol for PS did not microphase separate. Although the mixed brushes are on curved substrates, this work provides results consistent with the theoretical prediction that symmetric mixed homopolymer brushes undergo lateral rather than vertical phase separation under equilibrium melt conditions.     

Semi-continuous emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate) seed particles. Polymerization conditions giving core-shell particles

This work reports the morphology of two-phase latex particles prepared by semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of polar poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, seed particles, using different conditions of non-polar styrene feed rate, rate of initiation, seed particle concentration and temperature of polymerization.The expected latex particle morphology at thermodynamic equilibrium is an inverted core-shell structure where the non-polar polystyrene would form the core. However, depending on the set of process conditions used the morphology of the resulting two-phase particles varied from that of a pure core-shell structure, over intermediate structures in which a shell of PS surrounded a PMMA core containing an increasing number of PS phase domains, to a structure in which the entire PS phase was present as discrete PS phase domain, more or less evenly distributed in a matrix of PMMA.By the use of a caloirimetric reactor system the monomer concentration in the particles during the different polymerization experiments could be calculated by comparing the integral of the polymerization rate curve with the integral of the monomer feed rate. A comparison between particle morphology and the calculated concentration of plasticizing monomer in the polymerizing particles strongly suggested that the diffusivity of the entering oligo radicals determined by the difference between polymerization temperature and the glass transition temperature of the monomer-swollen core polymer is a key factor determining the morphology of two-phase particles prepared by semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization.Two-phase particles with a true core-shell structure were obtained in experiments where the estimated glass transition temperature of the PMMA phase was only a few degrees below the polymerization temperature. The results show that such particles can be obtained under conditions of high as well as low styrene feed rates, provided that the rate of initiation is properly adjusted.

Surfactant-assisted synthesis of polyaniline nanofibres without shaking and stirring: effect of conditions on morphology and conductivity

Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibres were synthesised by the chemical oxidative polymerisation method using ammonium peroxydisulphate (APS) as an oxidant/initiator. In this work, a surfactant-assisted method without shaking and stirring was used for the synthesis of PANI nanofibres. The effect was investigated of various parameters such as monomer/oxidant ratio, polymerisation temperature, and the presence of surfactant (Triton X-100 as a non-ionic surfactant) on the morphology and electrical conductivity of nanofibres. The morphology of PANI nanofibres was characterised by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the morphology of PANI nanofibres was significantly influenced by the aniline/APS mole ratio, polymerisation temperature and presence of the surfactant during synthesis. The results showed that more regular and consistent nanofibres were obtained using a monomer/oxidant ratio of 4 at ambient temperature of polymerisation. PANI nanofibres with diameters in the range of 10?C100 nm and length up to several ??m were obtained. PANI nanofibres were also characterised using FTIR and UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. The electrochemical behaviour of PANI nanofibres was studied by cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the electrical conductivity of PANI nanofibres increased with the increasing monomer/oxidant ratio and decreasing polymerisation temperature, respectively.     

Surface functionalization of polystyrene to bind with FMRF peptides for novel biocompatibility

<正>A generic method was described to change surface biocompatibihty by introducing reactive functional groups onto surfaces of polymeric substrates and covalently binding them with biomolecules.A block copolymer with protected carboxylic acid functionality,poly(styrene-b-tert-butyl acrylate)(PS-PtBA),was spin coated from solutions in toluene on a bioinert polystyrene(PS) substrate to form a bilayer structure:a surface layer of the poly(tert-butyl acrylate)(PtBA) blocks that order at the air-polymer interface and a bottom layer of the PS blocks that entangle with the PS substrate.The thickness of the PtBA layer and the area density of tert-butyl ester groups of PtBA increased linearly with the concentration of the spin coating solution until a 2 nm saturated monolayer coverage of PtBA was achieved at the concentration of 0.4%W/W.The protected carboxylic acid groups were generated by exposing the tert-butyl ester groups of PtBA to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for bioconjugation with FMRF peptides via amide bonds.The yield of the bioconjugation reaction for the saturated surface was calculated to be 37.1%based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) measurements.The success of each functionalization step was demonstrated and characterized by XPS and contact angle measurements.This polymer functionalization/modification concept can be virtually applied to any polymeric substrate by choosing appropriate functional block copolymers and biomolecules to attain novel biocompatibility.     

Phase separation in poly(tert-butyl acrylate)/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) thin film blends

Phase separation in thin film blends of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) and a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), trisilanolphenyl-POSS (TPP), is studied as functions of annealing temperature and time, using reflected light optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the PtBA/TPP blend system confined to thin films ( approximately 90 nm) exhibits lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior with a critical temperature of approximately 70 degrees C and a critical composition of 60 wt % PtBA with insignificant dewetting at the phase boundary. Off-critical spinodal behavior is observed for 58 and 62 wt % PtBA blend films. Phase separation by nucleation and growth is observed for all compositions outside the window between 58 and 62 wt % PtBA. The temporal evolution of spinodal decomposition in 60 wt % PtBA blend films is explored at annealing temperatures of 75, 85, 95, and 105 degrees C. The morphological evolution in 60 wt % PtBA blend films is similar for all experimental temperatures (75, 85, 95, and 105 degrees C) with the expected shorter time scales for phase evolution at higher annealing temperatures. Fast Fourier transforms of optical micrographs reveal that these blend films immediately undergo phase separation by spinodal decomposition during temperature jump experiments. Power law scaling for the characteristic wavevector with time (q approximately t(n) with n approximately -1/4 to -1/3) for domain growth during the early stages of phase separation yields to domain pinning at the later stages for 60 wt % PtBA blend films annealed at 75, 85, and 95 degrees C. In contrast, domain growth is pinned over the entire experimental time scale for 60 wt % PtBA blend films annealed at 105 degrees C.     

Three-dimensionally ordered porous membranes prepared via self-assembly and reverse micelle formation from well-defined amphiphilic block copolymers

Block copolymers of poly(pentafluorostyrene) (PFS) and poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA), or PFS-b-PtBA copolymers, were synthesized via consecutive atom transfer radical polymerizations (ATRPs). Amphiphilic block copolymers of PFS and poly(acrylic acid) (PFS-b-PAAC copolymers) were prepared via hydrolysis of the corresponding PFS-b-PtBA copolymers. The chemical structure and composition of the PFS-b-PtBA and PFS-b-PAAC block copolymers were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, themogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The amphiphilic PFS-b-PAAC copolymers were cast into porous membranes by phase inversion in aqueous media. The surface and cross-sectional morphology of the PFS-b-PAAC membranes were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Membranes with well-defined pores of sizes in the micrometer range were obtained as a result of inverse micelle formation. The pH of the aqueous media for phase inversion and the PAAC content in the PFS-b-PAAC copolymers could be used to adjust the pore size of the membranes.
