多组分聚合物体系的动态流变行为与其相行为的关系

对多组分聚合物体系相行为所采用的常规研究方法都存在不可避免的缺陷。而用动态流变学方法研究具有独特的优点,其理论依据是：对具有临界相行为(LCST、UCST)或微相分离行为的多组分聚合物体系,在小应变状态下的动态流变行为对体系在相分离过程中形态和结构的形成与演化极其敏感,非均相结构的产生使体系在长时松弛区域表现出与均相聚合物体系不同的粘弹松弛行为,即弹性显著增加、松弛时问明显增长以及时-温叠加原理失效,偏离经典的线性粘弹理论模型。本文综述了用Han曲线、Cole-Cole曲线、时-温叠加失效和G′-T曲线等动态流变学方法对多组分聚合物体系相行为的研究进展。

含氢键高分子共混体系的分相动力学研究

经过共聚改性的含羟基聚苯乙烯PS(OH)可以和许多含质子接受基团的聚合物形成氢键而成为互溶体系,本文着重研究这类含氢键共混体系的相分离动力学以及它们的相图。PS(OH)是由苯乙烯与对-六氟异丙醇-α-甲基苯乙烯共聚得到。它与聚甲基丙烯酸丁酯PBMA组成的共混物用温度跃变光散射法研究分相动力学行为。分相初期,符合Cahn-Hilliard-Cook线性理论,共混物具有LCST性质。由于PS(OH)中只含有1.5mol%OH基团,使得共聚物的组成不均匀,以及PS(OH)和PBMA的分子量多分散性,导致共混物的临界共溶点不在亚稳单相极限线(Spinodal curve)和稳定单相极限线(Binodal Curve)的最低点。对于临界组成的共混物在分相后期相区的增长按Siggia模型进行。而非临界组成的共混物按Lifshitz-Slyozov模型进行而且散射光强I(q,t)随散射矢量q的变化出现与q无关的峰,这与金属氧化物的共混物有类似的情况。

Diffusion coefficient and capacity factor in capillary electrokinetic chromatography with replaceable charged polymeric pseudophase

Apparent diffusion coefficients, Dapp,i, were determined in solutions with a polycationic additive -- poly(diallyidimethylammonium) -- acting as a pseudostationary phase for electrokinetic chromatography. They were determined for six small neutral analytes at five concentrations of the polymeric additive (between 0 and 4% w/w) by a stopped migration method. The apparent diffusion coefficients decrease with increasing polymer concentration only within 40% maximum, an effect that cannot be associated with the macroscopic viscosity of the polymer solution (which increases by a factor of 10). The change of the apparent diffusion coefficients is related to the interaction of the neutral analyte molecules with the polyelectrolyte chain. Applying the model of analyte partitioning between "free" solution and polymer, capacity factors and partition constants were derived from the slope of the 1/Dapp,i vs. polymer concentration curves. Partition constants determined by this method (ranging between 40 and 170) agree with those obtained by electrokinetic chromatography.

Theory and simulation of polymerization‐induced phase separation in polymeric media

A rigorous model of polymerization‐induced phase separation (PIPS), based on the non‐linear Cahn‐Hilliard (C‐H) and Flory‐Huggins (F‐H) theories combined with a second‐order polymerization reaction equation, has been formulated and its solutions characterized. The model describes phase separation in system consisting of a non‐reactive polymer and a monomer that undergoes condensation polymerization. The model consists of a balance equation for the low molecular weight polymerization regime and another balance equation for the high molecular weight entangled regime. The model equations are solved, and the solutions are characterized to identify the dynamical and morphological phenomena of the PIPS process. The extent of phase separation increases significantly with time during the early stage of phase separation, and slows down in the intermediate stage. The various types of phase‐separated morphologies are fully characterized using a novel morphological characterization techniques, known as the intensity and scale of segregation. Both the dynamical and morphological features of the PIPS method are sensitive to the magnitudes of the dimensionless diffusion coefficient D* and the dimensionless reaction rate constant K*. The scale of segregation and the droplet size decreases as D* and K* increase. On the other hand, the intensity of segregation increases with K*, but decreases with D*. The present results extend the present knowledge of the PIPS process by taking into account the effects arising from the presence of a non‐reactive polymer.     

Solvent effects on charge transport through solid deposits of [Os(4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-dipyridyl)2Cl2

Mechanically attached, solid-state films of [Os(4,4'-diphenyl-2,2'-dipyridyl)2Cl2] have been formed on gold macro- and microelectrodes and their voltammetric properties investigated. The voltammetric response of these films associated with the Os(2+/3+) redox reaction is reminiscent of that observed for an ideal reversible, solution phase redox couple only when the contacting electrolyte contains of the order of 40% v/v of acetonitrile (ACN). The origin of this effect appears to involve preferential solvation of the redox centres by acetonitrile which facilitates the incorporation of charge compensating counterions. Scanning electron microscopy reveals that voltammetric cycling in 40:60 ACN-H2O containing 1.0 M LiClO4 as the electrolyte induces the formation of microcrystals. Voltammetry conducted under semi-infinite linear diffusion conditions has been used to determine the apparent diffusion coefficient, Dapp, for homogeneous charge transport through the deposit. The dynamics of charge transport decrease with increasing film thickness but appear to increase with increasing electrolyte concentration. These observations suggest that ion transport rather than the rate of electron self-exchange limit the overall rate of charge transport through these solids. When in contact with 40:60 ACN-H2O containing 1.0 M LiClO4 as electrolyte, Dapp values for oxidation and reduction are identical at 1.7 +/- 0.4 x 10(-12) cm2 s(-1). In the same electrolyte, the standard heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant, k(o), determined by fitting the full voltammogram using the Butler-Volmer formalism, is 8.3 +/- 0.5 x 10(-7) cm s(-1). The importance of these results for the rational design of solid state redox active materials for battery, display and sensor applications is considered.     

Measurement of apparent diffusion coefficients within ultrathin nafion Langmuir-Schaefer films: comparison of a novel scanning electrochemical microscopy approach with cyclic voltammetry

The use of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient, Dapp, of redox-active species in ultrathin Nafion films is described. In this technique, an ultramicroelectrode (UME) tip, positioned close to a film on a macroscopic electrode, is used to oxidize (or reduce) a species in bulk solution, causing the tip-generated oxidant (reductant) to diffuse to the film/solution interface. The oxidation (reduction) of film-confined species regenerates the reductant (oxidant) in solution, leading to feedback to the UME. A numerical model is developed that allows Dapp to be determined. For these studies, ultrathin films of Nafion were prepared using the Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) technique and loaded with an electroactive species, either the ferrocene derivative ferrocenyltrimethylammonium cation, FA+, or tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II), Ru(bpy)32+. The morphology and the thickness of the Nafion LS films (1.5 +/- 0.2 nm per layer deposited) were evaluated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). For comparison with the SECM measurements, cyclic voltammetry (CV) was employed to evaluate the concentration of electroactive species within the Nafion LS films and to determine Dapp. The latter was found to be essentially invariant with film thickness, but the value for Ru(bpy)32+ was 1 order of magnitude larger than for FA+. CV and SECM measurements yield different values of Dapp, and the underlying reasons are discussed. In general, the Dapp values for these films are considerably smaller than for recast Nafion films, which can be attributed to the compactness of Nafion LS films. Nonetheless, the ultrathin nature of the films leads to fast response times, and we thus expect that these modified electrodes could find applications in sensing, electroanalysis, and electrocatalysis.     

Transport properties of solid polymer electrolytes prepared from oligomeric fluorosulfonimide lithium salts dissolved in high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide)

Transport properties such as ionic conductivity, lithium transference number, and apparent salt diffusion coefficient are reported for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) prepared using several oligomeric bis[(perfluoroalkyl)sulfonyl]imide (fluorosulfonimide) lithium salts dissolved in high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The salt series consists of polyanions in which two discrete fluorosulfonimide anions are linked together by [(perfluorobutylene)disulfonyl]imide linker chains. The restricted diffusion technique was used to measure the apparent salt diffusion coefficients in SPEs, and cationic transference numbers were determined using both potentiostatic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. A general trend of diminished salt diffusion coefficient with increasing anion size was observed and is opposite to the trend observed in ionic conductivity. This unexpected finding is rationalized in terms of the cumulative effects of charge carrier concentration, anion mobility, ion pairing, host plasticization by the anions, and salt phase segregation on the conductivity.     

Entanglement and phase separation in hyperbranched polymer/linear polymer/solvent ternary blends

Hyperbranched polyethylene (HBPE)/linear polystyrene (PS)/chloroform (CF) solution was selected as a model system to investigate the effect of branching structure on entanglement and phase separation behavior in semi-dilute ternary polymer solutions. All the HBPE materials in this work were found to have similar chain architectures and the critical molecular weight was estimated to be 81.2 kDa. The results obtained by elastic light scattering and intrinsic fluorescence methods suggested that all ternary solutions exhibited UCST transition behavior upon cooling. Also, it was found that the increase in the molecular weight of PS led to increase in the phase separation rate, consistent with de Gennes prediction. However, the increase of molecular weight of HBPE did not monotonously reduce the compatibility of polymer components and the phase separation rate in ternary blends is as follows: medium molecular weight HBPE (HBPE-M) > high molecular weight HBPE (HBPE-H) > low molecular weight HBPE (HBPE-L). This abnormal behavior can be explained by the fact that, (i) for HBPE-L, no entanglements between HBPE chains occurred and the branching effect can be ignored, and (ii) for HBPE-M and HBPE-H, entanglement of HBPE chains can be formed, and the dilution of branches on entanglement of backbones should be taken into consideration, that is, the shorter the branches of HBPE, the higher the possibility of interpenetration of HBPE backbones between neighboring molecules and, consequently, the faster aggregation of HBPE during phase separation. Furthermore, a simple model based on decomposition reaction was proposed to quantitatively describe the phase separation kinetics and the apparent activation energies of phase separation were calculated to be −150.3 and −52.3 kJ/mol for HBPE-M/PS/CF and HBPE-H/PS/CF systems, respectively.
