Azo polymer colloidal spheres containing different amounts of functional groups and their photoinduced deformation behavior

In this work, colloidal spheres composed of azo polymers with different chromophore loading densities were prepared, and their photoinduced deformation behavior was studied. The colloids were constructed by using a series of amphiphilic epoxy-based random copolymers containing 4-carboxylazobenzene functional groups with different degrees of functionalization (DFs). The colloidal spheres were fabricated through gradual hydrophobic aggregation of the polymeric chains in tetrahydrofuran-H2O dispersion media, which was induced by gradually adding water into the systems. The colloidal spheres were characterized by using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The photoinduced deformation behavior was studied by irradiating the colloidal spheres with a linearly polarized Ar+ laser beam. Results showed that the critical water content (CWC) for the colloid formation is related to the DF of the polymers, and CWC increases with the increase of DF. The hydrodynamic diameter of the colloidal spheres is also related to the DF of the polymers. When the DF of the polymers increases, the average size of the colloids gradually decreases. The hydrodynamic diameter of the colloidal spheres increases as the water dropping rate decreases. When the dropping rate is below 20 microL/s, the size of the colloidal spheres increases abruptly as the dropping rate further decreases. Upon the linearly polarized Ar+ laser beam irradiation, the colloids composed of polymers with different DFs can all be elongated along the polarization direction of the laser beam. As DF increases, the deformation degree characterized by the axial ratio (l/d) almost linearly increases. These observations can give some insight into the photoinduced deformation mechanism and can be used to construct colloids with different sizes and photoresponsive ability.

Formation of ordered mesoporous films from in situ structure inversion of azo polymer colloidal arrays

This work shows that mesoporous polymeric films with spherical and elliptical pores can be obtained by in situ structure inversion of the azo polymer colloid arrays through selective interaction with solvent. The epoxy-based azo polymer contained both the pseudo-stilbene-type azo chromophores and the hydrophilic carboxyl groups. The colloidal spheres of the azo polymer were prepared by gradual hydrophobic aggregation of the polymeric chains in THF-H2O media, induced by a steady increase in the water content. Ordered 2D arrays of the hexagonally close-packed colloidal spheres were obtained by the vertical deposition method. After the solvent (THF) annealing, the ordered 2D arrays were directly transformed to mesoporous films through the sphere-pore inversion. Under the same condition, the 2D arrays composed of the ellipsoidal colloids, which were obtained by the irradiation of a polarized Ar+ laser beam on the colloidal sphere arrays, could be transformed to films with ordered elliptical pores. To our knowledge, this is the first example to demonstrate that mesoporous structures can be directly formed from the colloidal arrays of a homopolymer through structure inversion. This observation can shed new light on the nature of self-assembly processes and provide a feasible approach to fabricate mesoporous structures without the infiltration-removal step. By exploring the photoresponsive properties of the materials, mesoporous film with special pore structure and properties can be expected.     

Amphiphilic azo polymer spheres, colloidal monolayers, and photoinduced chromophore orientation

In this work, azobenzene-containing colloidal spheres have been fabricated and used to construct photoresponsive monolayers. The colloidal spheres were prepared from an amphiphilic azobenzene-containing random copolymer through hydrophobic aggregation of the polymer chains, which was induced by adding the selective solvent (H2O) into a THF solution of the polymer. The size and size distribution of the spheres depended on the initial concentration of the azo polymer in THF and the H2O/THF ratio. Adjusting those factors and optimizing other preparation conditions, uniform colloidal spheres could be obtained. Monolayers composed of hexagonally close-packed colloidal spheres were prepared by the capillary-force-driven method. The colloidal monolayers showed obvious dichroism after laser irradiation due to the photoinduced azo-chromophore orientation occurred in the spheres. The orientation order parameter was related to the irradiation time and estimated to be 0.09 at the photostationary state. The colloidal spheres and their monolayers can potentially be used as building blocks or media for reversible optical data storage, photo-switching, sensors, and other photo-driven devices.     

Photoinduced deformation of amphiphilic azo polymer colloidal spheres

Photoinduced shape deformation of colloidal spheres made of an amphiphilic azo polymer has been demonstrated in this work. The polymer contains the donor-and-acceptor-type azobenzene chromophores and can form uniform colloidal spheres by dropwise adding water into its THF solution. When the colloidal spheres obtained were exposed to the interfering p-polarized Ar+ laser beams (150 mW/cm2), the colloidal spheres changed to prolates (i.e., "rugby-balls"), "spindles", and finally "rods", depending on the irradiation times. The elongated direction of the spheres was observed to be the same as the polarization direction of the laser beam. The average major-to-minor ratio of the ellipsoids could be easily adjusted by controlling the irradiation time. The deformation effect observed in this work can offer a new way to prepare nonspherical colloids from colloidal spheres and will shed new light on the correlation between the photodriven shape deformation and photoinduced surface relief gratings for the same type of polymers.     

Stretching effect of linearly polarized Ar+ laser single-beam on azo polymer colloidal spheres

This work shows that a linearly polarized Ar+ laser single-beam irradiation can cause stretching deformation of azo polymer colloidal spheres along the polarization direction of the laser beam. An epoxy-based polymer, containing 4-amino-4'-carboxyazobenzene at each repeat unit, was used to construct the colloidal spheres. The colloidal spheres were prepared by gradual hydrophobic aggregation of the polymeric chains in a THF/H2O dispersion medium, which was induced by a steady increase in the water content. When the obtained colloidal spheres were exposed to the spatially filtered and collimated Ar+ laser beam (488 nm, 150 mW/cm2), the colloids were stretched along the polarization direction of the laser beam. In the testing period (20 min), the colloids were deformed continuously as the irradiation time increased. When 2D close-packed arrays of the colloidal spheres were irradiated by the polarized laser single-beam, the colloidal spheres were all uniformly stretched along the polarization direction of the laser beam. On the contrary, when the arrays were irradiated by the interfering p-polarized laser beams, only the colloidal spheres in the bright regions of the interference pattern were significantly deformed.
