Morphological and compositional evolution of polymeric colloidal monolayer during UV irradiation

In this study, we investigated the morphological and compositional evolution polymeric colloidal monolayer during UV irradiation. A PS colloidal monolayer with interparticle bridges was prepared and exposed to the UV light. As a consequence of photochemical reactions containing chain-scission, UV irradiation induced morphological changes in the monolayer surface including changes in the size, shape, and packing structure of PS particles. By manipulating the UV irradiation time, fine tuning of size and shape of the interstice in the monolayer was achieved. In these procedures, the interparticle bridges play an important role. The UV irradiation induced the formation of polar groups in the PS particle surface and thus the particle surface became highly hydrophilic.     

Surface and Bulk Structure of Thin Spin Coated and Plasma-Polymerized Polystyrene Films

Polystyrene (PS) spin coated thin films were modified by O₂ and Ar plasma as well as by UV irradiation treatments. The modified PS samples were compared with plasma polymerized and commercial polystyrene. The effects of plasma (O₂ and Ar) and UV irradiation treatments on the surface and the bulk properties of the polymer layers were discussed. The surface properties were evaluated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Contact angle measurements and the bulk properties were investigated by FTIR and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. As a result only one second treatment time was sufficient to modify the surface. However, this study was also dedicated to understand the effect of plasma and plasma irradiation on the deposited layers of plasma polymers. The dielectric measurements showed that the plasma deposited films were not thermally stable and underwent an undesired post-plasma chemical oxidation.     

Wetting properties of flat and porous silicon surfaces coated with a spiropyran

We report the immobilization and characterization of a spiropyran (SP) derivative (1) on smooth Si(100) and porous H-terminated silicon surfaces through a thermal hydrosilylation protocol. Under visible light exposure the SP is in a closed, hydrophobic form, whereas under UV irradiation it converts to a polar, hydrophilic open form named merocyanine (MC). The SP-MC photoinduced isomerization gives a small contact angle (CA) change of 9 degrees for smooth Si(100) samples under sequential irradiation cycles with white and UV light. Irradiation of porous silicon (PS) surfaces, under the same conditions, gave a CA change of 11 degrees. Treatment of PS surfaces, bearing the MC form of chromophore 1, with cobalt(II) ions enhances the wettability switching of the PS surface to a much larger extent, giving rise to a CA variation as high as 32 degrees.     

Photo‐switchable spiropyran immobilized polystyrene beads using catechol chemistry

Catechol and spiropyran functional groups were conjugated to a polymer backbone, allowing immobilization on polystyrene beads (PS beads). The final product was capable of stably reproducing the optical properties of spiropyran. Through the outstanding surface adhesion properties of the catechol functional group, spiropyran was immobilized on PS beads. Switchable photoluminescence in the spiropyran coated PS bead surfaces was observed depending on irradiation with either UV or visible light. The surfaces of the PS beads were morphologically examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used for characterization of the constituent atoms. Furthermore, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to confirm conversion between the spiropyran (SP) and merocyanine (MC) forms through UV or visible light irradiation on SP, while fluorescent images for both SP and MC were studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The confocal images of the SP‐PS beads system onto MDAMB‐231 cells under UV and visible light indicate the cellular uptake by emerging color within the cytoplasm. Advancing study, the remaining catechol groups can confers adhesive properties, given by contact angle data of various coated surfaces film. These stimuli‐responsive coatings are compatible as drawing switchable photochromic material on versatile substrate shown in confocal images of propylene film. Overall, this great water solubility and biocompatibility PS beads system also showed potential as cell bio‐imaging light stimuli responsive material, and the benefits of this system can also possibly address coat able advanced material for a wide range of surface light sensor applications.

UV-degradation effect on optical and surface properties of polystyrene-TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> nanocomposite film

Thin films of polystyrene and polystyrene-TiO₂ nanocomposite were prepared by spin coating from a polystyrene solution in which TiO₂ nanoparticles were dispersed by mechanical mixing. Thin films of polystyrene (PS) and polystyrene-TiO₂ nanocomposite were exposed to UV irradiation for varied time intervals. The effect of UV radiation on the optical properties, crystallinity, surface energy and degradation of PS-TiO₂ nano-composite has been studied. X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD), UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurement were used to study the induced changes of the properties of the irradiated PS-TiO₂ nanocomposite. Optical band gaps and hydrophilicity in UV-irradiated samples were altered by destruction processes. The optical band gap values were found to reduce from 4.54 eV in pure PS to 4.45 eV for PS-TiO₂ nanocomposite prior to irradiation. This value is further reduced to 3.46 after UV irradiation for 45 h.     

Simple fabrication of a smart microarray of polystyrene microbeads for immunoassay

We describe a simple method to fabricate an array of polystyrene microbeads (PS μbeads) conjugated with an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) on a glass surface using a removable polymer template (RPT). A thin layer of adhesive was spun-cast on glass and cured by UV radiation. Micropatterns of an RPT were then transferred onto the surface by microcontact printing. The adhesion of PS μbeads on the surface depended on the adhesion performance of the adhesive layer, which could be adjusted by irradiation time. An array of PS μbeads conjugated with ELP was used for a smart immunoassay of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a cancer marker. By controlling the phase transition of ELP molecules, PSA molecules were selectively adhered or released from the bead surface. The selective and reversible binding of PSA molecules on the bead surface was characterized with fluorescence microscopy.     

Immobilization and enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase on polystyrene surface modified with ozone aeration and UV irradiation in distilled water and/or aqueous ammonia solution

Adsorption condition and enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase (GOD) on polystyrene (PS) film surfaces modified with ozone aeration and UV irradiation (O3/UV) treatment were investigated. The total amount of GOD immobilized on the PS film modified with the O3/UV treatment in distilled water (PS-W film) was approximately twice as large as that on the film treated in an aqueous ammonia solution (PS-A film), whereas the specific activity of GOD on the PS-A film was four times higher than that on the PS-W film. In contrast, no enzymatic activity of GOD on the non-treated PS film was observed because of irreversible denaturation of the adsorbed GOD. We therefore conclude that the PS films modified by the O3/UV treatment in the aqueous media are effective in immobilizing GOD.     

Synthesis of Photodegradable Polystyrene with Trithiocarbonate as Linkages

Multiblock polystyrenes (PS) with trithiocarbonate groups as linkages are prepared via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization using polytrithiocarbonate as a chain transfer agent. The photodegradability of the multiblock PS in the solid state is investigated under UV irradiation at room temperature in an air atmosphere. The experimental results demonstrate that the trithiocarbonate linkages in the multiblock PS can be broken under UV light irradiation at room temperature and the multiblock PS is degraded into separate PS blocks. Gel permeation chromatography measurement reveals that the molecular weight of multiblock PS is reduced from 27 900 to 7900 g mol⁻¹ after UV light irradiation for 745 h. Moreover, the thermal stability of the multiblock PS is examined and the results indicate that the incorporation of trithiocarbonate shows little influence on the thermal stability of multiblock PS.

     

Patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer: surface modification for enhancing selective adsorption

This paper describes the use of surface chemical modification to enhance the difference of the surface charge on a patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer, which can be used for selectively adsorbing functional materials. We fabricated a patterned multilayer by combining the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique and photolithography and taking advantage of the different solubility of polyelectrolyte multilayers of diazo resins (DAR)/poly(acrylic acid) before and after UV irradiation. This patterned surface can be used as a matrix for selective adsorption of small molecular dyes, such as Methylene Blue. However the difference in surface charge on the patterned surface was not enough when we used it to selectively adsorb polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles using electrostatic force as the driving force. Therefore, we modified the patterned surface by interfacial chemistry. After modification, the patterned polyelectrolyte multilayer can be used as a good matrix for selective adsorption of PS nanoparticles with both positive and negative charges.     

Photocurable pickering emulsion for colloidal particles with structural complexity

We prepared polymeric microparticles with coordinated patches using oil-in-water emulsion droplets which were stabilized by adsorbed colloidal polystyrene (PS) latex particles. The oil phase was photocurable ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA), and the particle-armored oil droplets were solidified by UV irradiation within a few seconds to produce ETPTA-PS composite microparticles without disturbing the structures. Large armored emulsion drops became raspberry-like particles, while small emulsion drops with a few anchored particles were transformed into colloidal clusters with well-coordinated patches. For high-molecular-weight PS particles with low chemical affinity to the ETPTA monomer, the morphology of the patchy particle was determined by the volume of the emulsion drop and the contact angle of the emulsion interface on the PS particle surface. Meanwhile, for low-molecular-weight PS particles with high affinity, the ETPTA monomers were likely to swell the adsorbed PS particles, and distinctive morphologies were induced during the shrinkage of emulsion drops and the phase separation of ETPTA from the swollen PS particles. In addition, colloidal particles with large open windows were produced by dissolving the PS particles from the patchy particles. We observed photoluminescent emission from the patchy particles in which dye molecules were dispersed in the ETPTA phase. Finally, we used Surface Evolver simulation to predict equilibrium structures of patchy particles and estimate surface energies which are essential to understand the underlying physics.
