荧光探针法研究核壳结构有机硅-丙烯酸酯乳液的聚合行为

以芘为荧光探针,探讨了有机硅-丙烯酸酯核壳乳液聚合过程中,芘的第一振动峰(373 nm处)与第三振动峰(384 nm处)荧光强度的比值I1/I3与乳化剂、有机硅单体(D4)和引发剂(KPS)用量之间的关系,并结合聚合过程中探针芘的I1/I3峰值与单体转化率及乳胶粒形态演变之间的关系,研究了核壳结构有机硅-丙烯酸酯乳液的聚合行为.研究结果表明,探针芘的I1/I3峰值随乳化剂用量,D4用量,KPS用量不同发生相应的变化,随单体转化率的增加而增大.当乳化剂用量、D4用量、KPS与总单体的质量比依次为2 g、8 g、0.7%时,得到的乳液具有优良的综合性能.聚合反应过程中,当种子乳胶粒转变为核壳乳胶粒时,芘的I1/I3峰值仍呈现出明显的转变,说明有机硅-丙烯酸酯核壳乳液具有互穿聚合物网络结构.因此,荧光探针可用于研究有机硅-丙烯酸酯核壳乳液聚合反应进程.

氯丁胶乳-聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯复合乳胶粒结构形态

以氯丁胶乳（Pa）为种子乳液,甲基丙烯酸甲酯（Pb）为第二单体,采用种子乳液聚合法,制备了氯丁胶乳-聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯复合乳胶粒。 热力学分析表明,当Pb的体积分数Φb＜0.69时,可同时形成Pa-Pb型正核-壳和（Pa＋Pb）分离型乳胶粒,当Φb＞0.69时,形成Pb-Pa型翻转型核壳结构乳胶粒,并伴有Pa-Pb型正核-壳结构乳胶粒的形成。 动力学分析表明,引发剂类型、第二单体的加入方式、种子乳胶粒的交联、单体/聚合物质量比是影响乳胶粒形态的主要因素。 采用水溶性引发剂过二硫酸钾（KPS）,以饥饿态方式加入单体,氯丁胶乳 聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PCR-PMMA)复合乳胶粒呈现正核-壳结构,以充溢态方式加入单体则不能形成明显的核-壳结构;而以油溶性偶氮二异丁腈（AIBN）为引发剂时,单体无论以充溢态方式加入还是饥饿态加入均倾向于形成翻转核-壳型粒子。 在种子乳胶粒中加入一定量交联剂二缩三乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯,有利于形成明显的正核壳结构。 以饥饿态进料,KPS为引发剂时,随着单体用量增加,壳层变厚,仍呈正核-壳结构,与热力学分析结果相吻合;以AIBN为引发剂时,随着单体用量增加,PCR-PMMA复合乳胶粒逐渐由翻转核壳型结构变为互穿结构。     

甲基丙烯酸3-三甲氧基硅丙酯/苯乙烯细乳液共聚合过程中的水解及缩合反应

研究了甲基丙烯酸3-三甲氧基硅丙酯(MPS)和苯乙烯(St)细乳液聚合过程中的水解及缩合反应.用气相色谱仪测定聚合过程中水解产物——甲醇的含量来研究MPS的水解度.MPS分子主要在细乳液液滴与水的界面以及乳胶粒与水的界面上发生水解反应.MPS和St比例、介质pH值、乳化剂用量、引发剂类型和用量都会影响MPS的水解程度.缩合产物用29Si固态核磁共振表征,中性条件下,缩合反应受到抑制,在高MPS/St比例的体系中也只生成少量缩合产物.酸性和碱性条件下,缩合产物量均增加,但碱性条件下,体系中仍有一定数量未缩合的硅氧烷存在,这与细乳液聚合独特的液滴成核机理及聚合过程中较少液滴间物质交换有关.

Immobilization of RAFT agents on silica nanoparticles utilizing an alternative functional group and subsequent surface‐initiated RAFT polymerization

Silica–polystyrene core‐shell particles were successfully prepared by surface‐mediated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of styrene monomer from the surfaces of the silica‐supported RAFT agents. Initially, macro‐RAFT agents were synthesized by RAFT polymerization of γ‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) in the presence of chain transfer agents (CTAs). Immobilization of CTAs onto the silica surfaces was then performed by reacting silica with macro‐RAFT agents via a silane coupling. Grafting of polymer onto silica forms core‐shell nanostructures and shows a sharp contrast between silica core and polymer shell in the phase composition. The thickness of grafted‐polymer shell and the diameter of core‐shell particles increase with the increasing ratio of monomer to silica. A control experiment was carried out by conventional free radical emulsion copolymerization of MPS‐grafted silica and styrene under comparable conditions. The resulting data provide further insight into the chemical composition of grafted‐polymers that are grown from the silica surface through RAFT process. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Self‐assembly of block copolymers with an alkoxysilane‐based core‐forming block: A comparison of synthetic approaches

Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (PISA) has become the preferred method of preparing self‐assembled nano‐objects based on amphiphilic block copolymers. The PISA methodology has also been extended to the realization of colloidal nanocomposites, such as polymer–silica hybrid particles. In this work, we compare two methods to prepare nanoparticles based on self‐assembly of block copolymers bearing a core‐forming block with a reactive alkoxysilane moiety (3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, MPS), namely (i) RAFT emulsion polymerization using a hydrophilic macroRAFT agent and (ii) solution‐phase self‐assembly upon slow addition of a selective solvent. Emulsion polymerization under both ab initio and seeded conditions were studied, as well the use of different initiating systems. Effective and reproducible chain extension (and hence PISA) of MPS via thermally initiated RAFT emulsion polymerization was compromised due to the hydrolysis and polycondensation of MPS occurring under the reaction conditions employed. A more successful approach to block copolymer self‐assembly was achieved via polymerization in a good solvent for both blocks (1,4‐dioxane) followed by the slow addition of water, yielding spherical nanoparticles that increased in size as the length of the solvophobic block was increased. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of physiological factors on the bioavailability of ethyl 2-chloro-3-[4-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyloxy)phenyl]propionate in an emulsion in rats

The main absorption site of ethyl 2-chloro-3-[4-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyloxy)phenyl]propionate (AL-294) in rats was the upper portion of the small intestine. Both AL-294 and AL-294 acid (2-chloro-3-[4-(2-methyl-2-phenylpropyloxy)phenyl]propionic acid), a hydrolyzed form of AL-294, were absorbed in a smaller quantity under the bile fistula condition (pancreatic juice and bile were excluded). Compared with the absorption of AL-294 as an emulsion under the sham operation condition, the absorption of AL-294 as the emulsion decreased under the condition where only pancreatic juice was excluded. The bioavailability under this condition was very similar to that under the bile fistula condition, whereas the absorption of AL-294 acid did not decrease when the pancreatic juice was excluded. From these results, the absorption mechanism of AL-294 is considered as follows: AL-294 was hydrolyzed to AL-294 acid by lipase in pancreatic juice, then AL-294 acid was solubilized with bile salts to form mixed micelles in the intestinal lumen. AL-294 acid from this form was easily absorbed into the systemic circulation. Absorption of AL-294 increased when the particle size of the emulsion was smaller. The reason was assumed to be that the smaller particle size offered the greater oil-water interface for lipase activity against AL-294.     

Synthesis and evaluation of a series of regular polyampholytes

A series of three true polyampholytes with unequivocally alternating acidic and basic groups attached directly to the skeletal backbone of the polymer chain have been prepared. This was accomplished by copolymerizing 3,6-diallyl-2-piperidone with the α,ω-dithiols containing 2-, 4-, and 6-methylene groups. The polymerization was carried out in an emulsion system initiated by 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), yielding soluble piperidone-containing polymers with molecular weights in the 20,000–30,000 range. The piperidone rings in the polymers were hydrolyzed by dilute sulfuric acid to yield the desired polyampholytes. Fibers were prepared by wet-spinning formic acid solutions of the polyampholyte into saturated salt solution or by melt-spinning. These fibers were quite elastic. We were unsuccessful in demonstrating that mechanical energy could be attained by the effect of pH on the fibers. Similarly, no pH effect could be elicited in Instron tests. The stress-relaxation curve showed a marked positive force–temperature effect characteristic of rubberlike materials with few crosslinks. In a check of transition temperatures, it was noted that on repeated runs the second-order transition temperature rose markedly, suggesting an irreversible change. Viscometric studies clearly demonstrated polyelectrolyte behavior. X-ray diffraction studies of the polyampholytes showed that maximum crystallinity and orientation occurred in the polymer containing as part of the repeating unit the 1,4-butane dithiol moiety.     

Silane adsorption onto cellulose fibers: hydrolysis and condensation reactions

The hydrolysis of three alkoxysilane coupling agents, gamma-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), gamma-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), and gamma-diethylenetriaminopropyltrimethoxysilane (TAS), was carried out in an ethanol/water (80/20) solution and followed by 1H, 13C, and 29Si NMR spectroscopy, which showed that its rate increased in the order MPS < APS < TAS. The formation of the silanol groups was followed by their self-condensation to generate oligomeric structure. APS and MPS only gave soluble products, whereas colloidal particles precipitated in the medium when TAS was hydrolyzed. Pristine and hydrolyzed MPS were then adsorbed onto a cellulose substrate and thereafter a thermal treatment at 110-120 degrees C under reduced pressure was applied to the modified fibers to create permanent bonding of the coupling agent at their surface.     

A tracer study of the hydrolysis of methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate units in homopolymers and copolymers

Homopolymers and copolymers were prepared from methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, and styrene by radical reactions at 60°C. Monomers suitably labeled with carbon-14 were used so that it was possible to monitor the hydrolysis of ester groups in the polymers during treatment under alkaline conditions. It was found that methyl acrylate units were hydrolyzed completely whatever their environment in a polymer chain. Under the same conditions only about 9% of the ester groups in a homopolymer of methyl methacrylate reacted; the proportion was increased by the introduction of comonomer units into the polymer chain. For copolymers of methyl methacrylate with methyl acrylate the extent of reaction may be correlated with the lengths of the sequences of methyl methacrylate units.     

Preparation of Hybrid Nanocapsules

Hybrid nanoparticles with a polystyrene core and a hybrid copolymer shell were used to produce hybrid nanocapsules by dissolving the polystyrene core from the previously elaborated core-shell particles. Following previous works, the core-shell particles were prepared by emulsion polymerization of styrene and subsequent addition of γ-methacryloxy propyl trimethoxy silane (MPS) to produce the shell by copolymerization reaction of MPS with the residual styrene. Core extraction was performed by diluting the core-shell particles in an excess of tetrahydrofuran (THF). Two procedures were investigated to separate the dissolved polymer chains from the nanocapsules. In the first procedure, the polymer was isolated by successive centrifugation and redispersion in THF, whereas in the second procedure, the free polymer chains were removed by dialysis. The polymer molecular weight was optimized in order to promote dissolution of the polymer chains and allow them to diffuse through the shell.     

Development of PEG-PLA/PLGA microparticles for pulmonary drug delivery prepared by a novel emulsification technique assisted with amphiphilic block copolymers

We developed a novel "spray dry-based" method for preparing surface-modified particle via "block copolymer-assisted" emulsification/evaporation for pulmonary drug delivery. The method included three steps: (1) o/w emulsion containing both hydrophobic polymers and amphiphilic block copolymers was obtained by emulsification of water and a polymer-containing organic solvent, (2) the o/w emulsion was misted with a nebulizer, and (3) the emulsion mists were dried by a heater. In this way, the hydrophobic polymers and the hydrophobic part of the amphiphilic block copolymers gradually tangled during the evaporation of organic solvents from the o/w emulsion. Consequently, the hydrophilic polymer chain was introduced on the particle surface. The particle surface can be easily modified although there are no reactive groups in the hydrophobic polymer molecules. We successfully obtained dry PEG-PLA/PLGA microparticles by controlling the weight ratio of the block copolymer and the hydrophobic polymer. The introduction of PEG to the particle surface involves an increase in the Zeta potential of the particles. Interestingly, the "dimpled" microparticles having a diameter of approximately 2 μm were obtained. The "dimpled" microparticles can serve as drug carriers for pulmonary drug delivery, because the particles have a large surface area. We expect that this novel surface-modification technique will enable efficient fabrication of particles in drug delivery systems.
