The study of the miscibility and morphology of poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinylphenol)/poly(propylene carbonate) blends

Blends of poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with copolymer poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinyl phenol) (STVPh) have been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spin probe method and Raman spectroscopy. The ESR results indicated that the nitroxide radical existed in a PPC‐rich and an STVPh‐rich micro domain in the blends, corresponding to the fast‐motion and slow‐motion component in the ESR spectra, respectively. And in the temperature dependence composite spectra, the fast‐motion fraction increased with increasing the hydroxyl group content in copolymer STVPh. Moreover, the ESR parameter T_5mT, rotational correlation times (τ_c) and activation energies (E_a) showed similar dependence on the hydroxyl group content as the fast‐motion fraction. It resulted from the enhancement of the hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the hydroxyl groups in STVPh and the carboxyl groups and ether oxygen in PPC. However, the distinct band shift and intensity change among the Raman spectra of pure polymer components and those of the blends were observed. In the carboxyl‐stretching region, the band shifted to lower frequency with increasing the hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, the phase morphologies of the blends were obtained by optical microscopy. All could be concluded that the hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the two components was progressively favorable to the mixing process and was the driving force for the miscibility enhancement in the blends.

Spin label study of phase morphology and polymer segmental motion in poly(acrylic acid)–poly(ethylene oxide) complex

The ESR lineshapes of nitroxide radical end‐labeled on poly(ethylene oxide) (SLPEO) for the pure polymer and for different weight ratio complexes with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were studied as a function of temperature. For SLPEO one spectral component was detected in the entire temperature range, indicating that the spin label was in the homogeneous phase domain. For all PAA–PEO complexes two spectral components with different rates of motion, a ‘fast’ and a ‘slow’ component, were observed, which indicates the existence of microheterogeneity at the molecular level: the more mobile the PEO‐rich microphase, the more rigid is the PAA‐rich microphase. On the other hand, the SLPEO polymer segmental motion was restricted owing to the hydrogen bond interaction between the carboxyl proton in PAA and the ether oxygen in PEO. This restriction was exacerbated with increasing the PAA content in the complex, which could be further substantiated through the calculated S and τ_c values.

Motional heterogeneity and phase separation of functionalized polyester polyurethanes

The polyester polyurethanes, PU based on isophoronediisocyanate, polycaprolactone, and 1,4-butanediol with different amounts of functional groups introduced into the hard segments via second chain extender, 2,2′-bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid, were investigated by electron spin resonance, ESR, spin label method, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, WAXD, optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, DSC. The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of functional groups on the motional heterogeneity, microphase separation and crystallisation of the polyurethanes. The concentration of carboxylic groups varied from 0 to 0.45 mmol g⁻¹. The temperature-dependent ESR spectra of spin labelled PU hard segments chain ends with stable nitroxide radical 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-aminopiperidin-1-yloxyl are sensitive to the amount of functional groups attached to the hard segments. Composite ESR spectra of functionalized PU, with fast and slow component, suggest that PU hard segments are partitioned in two motionally different environments. According to the ratio of fast and slow component motional heterogeneity increases with an increase of functional groups up to 0.35 mmol g⁻¹ and above this concentration slow component decreases indicating higher degree of phase mixing and stronger effect of soft segments. Polarized micrographs and the extent of ordering from WAXD measurements reveal the changes of phase morphology with the carboxylic groups content in a similar way as shown from the motional behaviour of spin label on the segmental level. The degree of crystallinity and the separation of spherulitic rings are decreasing above a certain concentration of functional groups. The effect of functional groups in PU on the hard and soft segment mixing is discussed in terms of additional noncovalent interactions and chain structure which at critical level of interactions lead to a formation of more open hard segment structure accessible to interaction with the soft segment.     

Microphase separation in poly(acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene) (ABS) studied with paramagnetic spin probes. I. Electron spin resonance spectra

Microphase separation in poly(acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene) (ABS) was studied as a function of the butadiene content and method of preparation with electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of nitroxide spin probes. Results for the ABS polymers were evaluated by comparison with similar studies of the homopolymers polybutadiene (PB), polystyrene (PS), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and the copolymers poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (SAN) and poly(styrene‐co‐butadiene) (SB). Two spin probes were selected for this study: 10‐doxylnonadecane (10DND) and 5‐doxyldecane (5DD). The probes varied in size and were selected because their hydrocarbon backbone made them compatible with the polymers studied. The ESR spectra were measured in the temperature range 120–420 K and were analyzed in terms of line shapes, line widths, and hyperfine splitting from the ¹⁴N nucleus; the appearance of more than one spectral component was taken as an indication of microphase separation. Only one spectral component was detected for 10DND in PB, PS, and PAN and in the copolymers SAN and SB. In contrast, two spectral components differing in their dynamic properties were detected for both probes in the three types of ABS samples studied and were assigned to spin probes located in butadiene‐rich domains (the fast component) and SAN‐rich domains (the slow component). The behavior of the fast component in ABS prepared by mass polymerization suggested that the low‐T_g (glass‐transition‐temperature) phase was almost pure PB. The corresponding phase in ABS prepared by emulsion grafting also contained styrene and acrylonitrile monomers. A redistribution of the spin probes on heating occurred with heating near the T_g of the SAN phase, suggesting that the ABS polymers as prepared were not in thermodynamic equilibrium. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nitroxide spin probe study of probe size,hydrogen bonding and polymer matrix rigidity effects on poly(acrylic acid)/poly(ethylene oxide) complexes

An electron spin resonance (ESR) spin probe study was performed on 1 : 1 by weight poly(acrylic acid) (PAA)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) complex over the 100–450 K temperature range with a series of tetramethylpiperidyloxy‐based spin probes. Measurements of the parameters T_5mT, Ta and Td demonstrated the effects of probe size and the strength of hydrogen bonding. The probes in the series Tempone, Tempo, Tempol and Tamine (respectively 4‐oxo‐, unsubstituted, 4‐hydroxy‐ and 4‐amino‐2,2,6,6,‐tetramethylpiperidine ‐1‐oxyl) displayed noticeable increases in the hydrogen‐bonding effect, as indicated by Ta and Td. These increases correlated with increasing hydrogen bond acceptor strength. On the other hand, as the probe size became larger, T_5mT gradually increased due to the free volume decrease. These effects were analyzed using the established theoretical relationship of T_5mT to probe volume expressed by f. Meanwhile, in order to investigate the effect of polymer matrix rigidity, a similar study was performed with a nitroxide spin probe, 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐1‐piperidine‐1‐oxyl (Tempo), on PAA/PEO complexes of different weight compositions. The quantitative fast motion fraction in the composite ESR spectrum was calculated. The influence of changes in the composition of PAA on the molecular mobility was characterized by changes of the spectral parameters and τ_c. The molecular mobility was shown to diminish with increasing content of PAA in PAA/PEO blends duo to the restriction of the polymer matrix rigidity increase.

A general approach for prediction of motional EPR spectra from Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations: application to spin labelled protein

A general approach for the prediction of EPR spectra directly and completely from single dynamical trajectories generated from Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations is described. The approach is applicable to an arbitrary system of electron and nuclear spins described by a general form of the spin-Hamiltonian for the entire motional range. It is shown that for a reliable simulation of motional EPR spectra only a single truncated dynamical trajectory generated until the point when correlation functions of rotational dynamics are completely relaxed is required. The simulation algorithm is based on a combination of the propagation of the spin density matrix in the Liouville space for this initial time interval and the use of well defined parameters calculated entirely from the dynamical trajectory for prediction of the evolution of the spin density matrix at longer times. A new approach is illustrated with the application to a nitroxide spin label MTSL attached to the protein sperm whale myoglobin. It is shown that simulation of the EPR spectrum, which is in excellent agreement with experiment, can be achieved from a single MD trajectory. Calculations reveal the complex nature of the dynamics of a spin label which is a superposition of the fast librational motions within dihedral states, of slow rotameric dynamics among different conformational states of the nitroxide tether and of the slow rotational diffusion of the protein itself. The significance of the slow rotameric dynamics of the nitroxide tether on the overall shape of the EPR spectrum is analysed and discussed.     

ESR-spin labelling study of semi-interpenetrating networks and polymer mixtures based on functionalized polyurethanes and polymethacrylates

Semi-interpenetrating polymer networks, SIPNs, and polymer mixtures (1:1 mass ratio) based on segmented polyester polyurethane, PU, with carboxylic groups and methacrylic copolymer, PM, with tertiary amine groups were prepared. Electron spin resonance, ESR, spin label method was used to study the effect of functional groups concentration on the segmental motion, motional transitions and phase separation. The concentration of functional groups varied from 0 to 0.45 mmol g⁻¹. From the temperature dependent composite ESR spectra of PU labelled component motional heterogeneity was deduced. Restriction of segmental motion of PU segments in the PU/PM mixtures increases with the augmentation of functional groups content due to the additional noncovalent interactions. The critical concentration (0.35 mmol g⁻¹) above which the motional restriction decreases is observed. The effect of functional groups is discussed in terms of the change of local packing density. According to the fractions of the slow component and temperatures of motional transitions SIPNs reveal better interpenetration and interactions of both polymer components. Additional functional groups contribute to a very strong influence of restricted PM chains on the PU hard segments.

Surface segregation in polymer blends and interpolymer complexes with increasing hydrogen bonding interactions

The evolution of surface composition in polymer blends and interpolymer complexes was studied using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Time‐of‐Flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF‐SIMS). For immiscible and miscible poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinyl phenol)/poly(styrene‐co‐4‐vinyl pyridine) (STVPh/STVPy) blends, surface enrichment by the lower surface energy component STVPh was always observed. Increasing VPh contents in STVPh from 0 to 16 mol % spans the transition from immiscible to miscible blends; the differences in surface free energies between STVPh and STVPy decreased, but surface enrichment of STVPh continued to increase. This is due to the strong hydrogen bonded self‐association of STVPh, which dominates over the immiscibility to miscibility transition in controlling the surface composition. In the immiscible and miscible blends, decreasing the molecular weights of STVPy, which decreased the surface free energy of STVPy, systematically reduced surface enrichment by STVPh. For STVPh/STVPy complexes formed at VPh contents higher than 21 mol %, surface enrichment of STVPh is barely detectable. STVPh and STVPy form a new supramolecular species. Interpolymer complexation is now the decisive factor controlling the surface composition, dominating over the surface free energy differences; the effect of STVPy molecular weight variation on the surface composition is also negligible for the interpolymer complexes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
