Microphase Separation of Star-diblock Copolymer Films: a Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation

The microphase-separating behaviors of two types of star-diblock copolymers (A_x)₄(B_y)₄ and (A_xB_y)₄ in thin films are studied using the simulation technique of dissipative particle dynamics. A variety of ordered mesostructures have been observed and the simulated phase diagrams show obvious symmetries for the (A_x)₄(B_y)₄ films and asymmetries for the (A_xB_y)₄ films, besides, it is easier for the (A_x)₄(B_y)₄ than for the (A_xB_y)₄ to carry out microphase separation under the same conditions, which has been recognized in bulk and can be ascribed to the structural difference between the two types of star copolymers. There are some correspondences between the mesostructures formed in the film and those formed in bulk at the same composition fraction. Decreasing the thickness of film and strengthening the A-B repulsion both help the mesostructures enhance the degree of order. Composition fraction dependences of the mean-square radius of gyration in the two types of star copolymer films are almost contrary, which can be attributed to the differences in their respective structures.These findings can provide a guide to designing novel microstructures involving star-diblock copolymers via geometrical confinement.

氧化铝包裹硅胶核-壳型色谱填料的制备及正相色谱性能研究

采用层层自组装(LBL-SA)技术制备了新型的氧化铝包裹硅胶(Al2O3/Si O2)核-壳型色谱填料。对该填料进行了光电子能谱表征、扫描电镜表征、比表面孔径表征,结果表明Al2O3被成功的组装到了Si O2表面。考察了Al2O3/Si O2填料在正相色谱条件下对碱性、中性和酸性化合物色谱分离行为并与Si O2填料进行了比较性研究。结果表明,由于氧化铝表面的Lewis酸性位点的存在,相比较于Si O2填料而言,Al2O3/Si O2在分离碱性化合物和中性化合物时具有很大的优势,但是也是由于这些Lewis酸性位点,造成酸性化合物在Al2O3/Si O2柱上具有很长的保留时间和严重拖尾的峰形,流动相中少量乙酸的加入可以有效地掩盖Al2O3表面的Lewis酸性位点,减弱其对酸性化合物的吸附。
