Coil-rod-coil刚柔嵌段共聚物在选择性溶剂中的自组装

采用耗散粒子动力学方法(dissipative particle dynamics,DPD)研究了coil-rod-coil(CRC)三嵌段刚柔共聚物在选择性溶剂中的自组装.在链选择性溶剂中,刚性棒长Lr与柔性链长Lc都影响着CRC溶液的自组装及相转变.随Lr的增大,棒与溶剂的接触面变大界面能升高,为减小体系的自由能,棒嵌段趋向聚集以减少接触面与界面能.随Lc的增大,链的自由伸展构象熵增大,影响着棒嵌段聚集体结构的形成,使棒嵌段的分布更加分散.在研究溶剂性质aCS与棒长Lr对体系自组装影响的情况中,观察到两类有趣的相结构:球形相和胶束相.随着参数aCS从亲链变为中性再到亲棒,在球形相内部,不仅棒相区由球体内部移向球表面,而且棒相区与链相区的层次分布也发生了明显地变化.同样,Lr的改变也影响着球形相内部相区的分布,同时诱导了不同球形相间的构型转变.胶束相包括分段胶束和螺旋胶束两种,形成于棒长较长的情况,胶束相中棒嵌段的排列呈现出明显的液晶相结构.

两亲性/双疏性嵌段共聚物共混体系的自组装行为研究

采用耗散粒子动力学方法,研究了两亲性嵌段共聚物和双疏性嵌段共聚物共混体系的自组装行为,探讨了双疏性嵌段共聚物的浓度以及双疏性嵌段共聚物的嵌段体积分数对聚集体结构的影响.结果表明,随着双疏性嵌段共聚物浓度的增加,聚集体发生自囊泡到棒状胶束再到同心圆多舱胶束的转变,且当浓度较高时,同心圆多舱胶束的同心圆层数量与浓度密切相关.当双疏性嵌段共聚物中的嵌段体积分数降低时,球形胶束由同心圆结构转变为非同心圆结构.此外,利用Minkowski泛函方法表征了多舱胶束的形成过程,发现这是一个先形成大尺度球形结构、再形成小尺度内核结构的分级组装过程.

聚乙烯醇/聚乙烯基吡咯烷酮共混体系的结晶行为

用DSC、WAXD和SAXS研究了聚乙烯醇(PVAl)/聚乙烯基吡咯烷酮(PVP)共混体系的结晶行为.PVAl的结晶度随PVP含量增加而减少,并存在结晶度为零的组成(PVAl)的重量分数约为50％.与纯PVAl相比,共混物的温度区间T_m-T_g减小,表明PVP对PVAl的结晶起抑制作用.共混物中PVAl的结晶速度下降,具体表现为PVAl过冷区随PVP含量增加而扩大,动力学速度常数减小,球晶增长速度下降.纯PVAl和共混体系的等温结晶速率均遵循Avrami方程.退火样品的长周期、片晶厚度和过渡层厚度大于相同组成未退火样品.两者长周期随PVP含量增长加显著增大,片晶厚度增长次之,过渡层厚度变化不大.     

The directed self-assembly of amphiphilic diblock copolymers in selective solvents

The directed self-assembly of diblock copolymers in solvents is studied systematically using a simulated annealing method. Effects of the shape, scale, and adsorption capacity of the induced surface on the morphology of the aggregates are examined. A variety of morphologies are predicted. By increasing the scale of induced surface, the micellar shape transforms from cylinder to sheet with a tail and finally to thin sheet without tail. The shape of induced surface determines the sheet’s shape, such as rounded and square. Configurations of hydrophobic blocks and interfacial energies are investigated by calculating the mean square end-to-end distances and the contact numbers between hydrophobic monomer and other species, respectively.

Mechanical properties of emulsion polymer blends

Polymer blend technology has been one of the most investigated areas in polymer science in the past 3 decades. The one area of polymer blends that has been virtually ignored involves simple emulsion blends, although several articles have recently appeared that address film formation and mechanical characteristics. In this study, we investigated the mechanical property behavior of emulsion blends composed of low/high‐glass‐transition‐temperature polymers (where low and high mean below and above the test temperature, respectively). The emulsions chosen for this study had similar particle sizes, and the mixtures were rheologically stable. Two conditions were chosen, a binary combination of polymers that were thermodynamically immiscible and another system that was thermodynamically miscible. The mechanical property results over the entire composition range were compared with the predictions of the equivalent box model (EBM) with the universal parameters predicted by percolation theory. An array of randomly mixed and equal‐size particles of differing moduli was expected to show excellent agreement with theory, and the emulsion blends provided an excellent experimental basis for testing the theory. For the immiscible blend, the EBM prediction for the modulus showed excellent agreement with experimental results. With tensile strength, the agreement between the modulus and theory was good if the yield strength for the higher glass‐transition‐temperature polymer was employed in comparison with the actual tensile strength. The phase inversion point (where both phases were equally continuous) was at a 0.50 volume fraction of each component (based on an analysis employing Kerner's equation), just as expected for a random mixture of equal‐size particles. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Particulate growth in phase-separated polymer blends

Particle coarsening was investigated in polymer blends containing a minor phase volume of 23% produced by compositional quenching. The scaling exponents for three binary blends (polystyrene/polybutadiene, polystyrene/polyisoprene, and polystyrene/S-B random copolymer) were in reasonable agreement with the expected value of 0.33. The scaling exponent for a ternary blend containing an amphiphile (polystyrene/polybutadiene/S-B block copolymer) was substantially lower at 0.14. The particle size distributions for all the blends were broader than the self-similar distribution expected for Ostwald ripening and became increasingly broad with time. These distributions fit a two parameter coalescence model in which the probability of coalescence is proportional to the particle diameter. However, Ostwald ripening appears to make some contribution, particularly at early times. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. B Polym. Phys. 36: 2191–2196, 1998     

Glass transition temperatures in binary polymer blends

Knowledge of the glass transition temperatures (T_gs) as function of composition reflects miscibility (or lack of it) and is decisive for virtually all properties of polymer‐based materials. In this article, we analyze single blend‐average and effective T_gs of miscible polymer blends in full concentration ranges. Shortcomings of the extant equations are discussed to support the need for an alternative. Focusing on the deviation from a linear relationship, defined as ΔT_g = T_g ? φ₁T_g,1 ? φ₂T_g,2 (where φ_i and T_g,i are, respectively, the weight fraction and the T_g of the i‐th component), a recently proposed equation for the blend T_g as a function of composition is tested extensively. This equation is simple; a quadratic polynomial centered around 2φ₁ ? 1 = 0 is defined to represent deviations from linearity, and up to three parameters are used. The number of parameters needed to describe the experimental data, along with their magnitude and sign, provide a measure of the system complexity. For most binary polymer systems tested, the results obtained with the new equation are better than those attained from existing T_g equations. The key parameter of the equation a₀ is related to parameters commonly used to represent intersegmental interactions and miscibility in binary polymer blends. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silicone-based polymer blends: Enhancing properties through compatibilization

Polymer blending is a cost-effective way to control the properties of soft materials, but the propensity for blends to macrophase separate motivates the development of efficient compatibilization strategies. Across this broad area, compatibilization is particularly important for polysiloxanes, which exhibit strong repulsive interactions with most organic polymers. This review analyzes state-of-the-art polysiloxane compatibilization strategies for silicone–organic polymer blends. Emphasis is placed on chemical innovation in the design of compatibilization agents that may expedite the commercialization of new silicone–organic materials. We anticipate that hybrid silicone blends will continue to play an important role in fundamental and applied materials science across industry and academia.
