It is found that the conductivity of the prepared polymer electrolytes is higher than that of LiClO4/PEO or LiClO4/EC-DMC by two or three orders in magnitude and a large delocalized bond formed in Li2B4O7-PVA lead to transportation of Li ion easier, this electrolyte possesses high thermo-stability and can be used under 200℃.     

Non-symmetric Half-Fused B←N Coordinated Diketopyrrolopyrrole Building Block for n-type Semiconducting Polymers

The development of conjugated polymers with high semiconducting performance and high reliability is of great significance for flexible electronics. Herein, we developed a new type of electron-accepting building block; i.e., non-symmetric half-fused B←N coordinated diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) ( HBNDPP ), for amorphous conjugated polymers toward flexible electronics. The rigid B←N fusion part of HBNDPP endows the resulting polymers with decent electron transport, while its non-symmetric structure causes the polymer to exhibit multiple conformation isomers with flat torsional potential energies. Thus, it gets packed in an amorphous manner in solid state, ensuring good resistance to bending strain. Combined with hardness and softness, the flexible organic field-effect transistor devices exhibit n-type charge properties with decent mobility, good bending resistance, and good ambient stability. The preliminary study makes this building block a potential candidate for future design of conjugated materials for flexible electronic devices.     

A Novel Approach for the Surface Modification of Polymeric Membrane with Phospholipid Polymer

A new economic and convenient method to modify the surface of microporous polypropylene (PP) membranes with phospholipid polymer was given. The process included the photo-irradiated graft polymerization of N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and the ring-opening reaction of the grafted polyDMAEMA with 2-alkyloxy-2-oxide-1,3,2-dioxo-phospholanes (AOP). Four AOPs, whose alkyloxy groups consisted of dodecyl, tetradecyl,hexadecyl and octadecyl moieties, were used to convert the grafted polyDMAEMA to phospholipidpolymers. FT-IR spectra confirmed the chemical change of membrane surface. Platelets adhesion experiment indicated that PP membrane with excellent blood compatible surface could be fabricated by this method.

Thermosensitive Polymer Nanocontainers Prepared by Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers

In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to the preparation of polymer nanocontainers because of their unique advantages. Compared to polymer microspheres or micelles, polymer nanocontainers are hollow-sphere structures and can encapsulate large quantities of guest molecules or large-sized guests within the “empty” core domain. Compared to polymer vesicles, polymer nanocontainers have enough mechanical stability to prevent them from structure changes due to covalent or ionic int…     

Polymer Electrolytes – New Opportunities for the Development of Multivalent Ion Batteries

Batteries, as highly concerned energy conversion system, have a great development prospect in various fields, especially in the field of energy powered vehicles. Multivalent ion batteries are getting more attention due to their low cost, high abundance in earth crust, high capacity and safety compared with Lithium batteries. Despite above advantages, several problems still need to be solved before multivalent ion batteries achieve large-scale application, such as interfacial parasitic reaction, anode passivation, and dendrites. The replacement of liquid electrolytes with gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) which pose high safety, high mechanical strength and simplified battery system, is an effective strategy to inhibit dendrite growth and improve electrochemical performance. This review mainly discusses the advantages and challenges of multivalent ion batteries including zinc, magnesium, calcium and aluminum batteries. Meanwhile, the major targets of this review are introducing the recent developments and making a summary of the future trends of GPEs in the multivalent ion batteries.

Novel Method for Soluble‐Polymer‐Supported Synthesis of 3,4,5‐Trisubstituted Isoxazoles

A practical and efficient liquid‐phase synthesis of 3,4,5‐trisubstituted isoxazoles using poly(ethylene glycol) as supported is described. Soluble‐polymer‐supported nitrile oxide generated in situ reacted with chalcones to afford polymer‐supported isoxazolines, which were cleaved by sodium methoxide to generate 3,4,5‐trisubstituted isoxazoles instead of 3,4,5‐trisubstituted isoxazolines. This sequential process provided a novel method to synthesize 3,4,5‐trisubstituted isoxazoles.     

MOLECULAR IMPRINTED POLYMERS——Novel Polymer Adsorbents

1. INTRODUCTIONMolecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted wide attention for its molecular recognition properties. More and more publications involved in the area of adsorption and separation with MIPs. As early as in 1931, Poljacov [1] found that the pore structure of silica gel was influenced by the size and shape of the molecules in the gas atmosphere when he removed water from the gel under the atmosphere of benzene, toluene and xylene. The gel dried in benzene atmosphere a…     

Novel Polymer‐Bound Aminoalcohol Ligands for the Asymmetric Addition of Diethylzinc to Aldehydes

The synthesis of several novel polymer‐supported aziridine‐containing aminoalcohol chiral ligands has been accomplished, and the polymers have been used as ligands for the catalytic asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde, giving up to 89% ee. Incorporation onto a polymer support prevents the variation of ee with time that is observed in reactions of one unsupported ligand, perhaps as a result of site isolation of the ligand within the polymer, preventing cooperative effects.     

Non-Fluorinated Polymer Composite Proton Exchange Membranes for Fuel Cell Applications – A Review

The critical component of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system is the proton exchange membrane (PEM). Perfluorosulfonic acid membranes such as Nafion are currently used for PEMFCs in industry, despite suffering from reduced proton conductivity due to dehydration at higher temperatures. However, operating at temperatures below 100 °C leads to cathode flooding, catalyst poisoning by CO, and complex system design with higher cost. Research has concentrated on the membrane material and on preparation methods to achieve high proton conductivity, thermal, mechanical and chemical stability, low fuel crossover and lower cost at high temperatures. Non-fluorinated polymers are a promising alternative. However, improving the efficiency at higher temperatures has necessitated modifications and the inclusion of inorganic materials in a polymer matrix to form a composite membrane can be an approach to reach the target performance, while still reducing costs. This review focuses on recent research in composite PEMs based on non-fluorinated polymers. Various inorganic fillers incorporated in the PEM structure are reviewed in terms of their properties and the effect on PEM fuel cell performance. The most reliable polymers and fillers with potential for high temperature proton exchange membranes (HTPEMs) are also discussed.     

Studies on Novel Polymer Materials Prepared through Intermacromolecular Complexation

The basic feature of polymers is their multi-order structure. Structure change at each level offers a possibility to modify polymer properties and to develop new polymer materials. Therefore, novel polymer materials can be developed by tailoring their chain structure through chemical bonding among atoms, i.e., via the traditional molecular chemistry methods, e.g., polymerization of new monomer, controlling chain length (molecular weight and molecular weight distribution) and stereoregularity, …
