Pluronic三嵌段共聚物在油水界面上自组装行为的介观模拟研究

利用耗散粒子动力学(DPD)模拟方法研究了三种不同结构的Pluronic嵌段共聚物F127,F68和L64在油水界面处的自组装行为.结果发现,嵌段共聚物的分子量、PO/EO比例以及油水体积比等因素对PEO-PPO-PEO类三嵌段共聚物的界面构型、界面张力和界面厚度等均具有一定的影响;PO/EO比值愈大且分子量较大者,体系界面张力越低,界面厚度越大;嵌段共聚物的PO/EO的比值接近时,分子量较小者界面张力较低,界面厚度较小.F68分子中的PO嵌段含量低于F127,但因其分子量小,故其PO嵌段在界面处排列更紧密有序,界面张力更低.同时,研究发现油水比例的增加会使油/水/嵌段共聚物体系的构型由水包油型乳状液向油包水型乳状液逐渐转变;油水比例对嵌段共聚物聚集行为的影响与其分子量的大小有关:分子量较大者,油水比对其界面性能影响较大,分子量较小者则影响不大.     

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation of Onion Phase in Star-block Copolymer

A dissipative particle dynamics simulation technique was used to investigate the effect of molecular architecture of star-block copolymer on the patterned structure in a nanodroplet. With increasing the ratio of solvophilic to block length to solvophobic block length(R_H/T), solvophobic sphere, ordered hexagonal phase, onion phase, perforated onion phase and flocculent phase are formed, respectively. Since onion phase has potential application in controlled drug release, it has received wide attention experimentally and theoretically. Our simulation indicates onion phase forms at a certain R_H/T(close to but less than 1). A star-block copolymer molecule has two conformations in onion phase: either fully located in a shell or shared by two neighboring shells. Central structure affects onion's final shape. The molecular number of the copolymer in each shell is a quadratic function of the shell's radius. The arm number of star-block copolymer has little influence on onion's structure, but slightly affects the solvent content. Additionally, we studied the influence of arm length on onion's structure.

梳状-线性共聚物在选择性溶剂中可以自组装形成两种不同类型的聚集体, 其中第I类的自组装发生在亲、疏溶剂链之间, 而第II类发生在线性链和梳状亚结构之间. 本工作利用耗散粒子动力学方法, 分别研究了梳状-线性共聚物在侧链和主链选择性溶剂中形成的这两类聚集体, 探讨了侧链长度和侧链数量等对聚集体类型及形貌的影响. 研究表明, 第II类聚集体在侧链长度较短且侧链数量较多时容易形成. 将模拟结果与文献报道的实验结果相比较, 发现两者能较好地吻合. 此外, 本研究获得了一些在实验中较难得到的信息, 有助于进一步理解梳状-线性共聚物的自组装行为.     

Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation of Microscopic Properties in Diblock Copolymer Films

Mean-square bond length, root-mean-square end-to-end distance and gyration radius in di-block copolymer films have been studied by dissipative particle dynamics simulations. Re-sults show evident linear trends of any property separately with the thickness of film, the interaction between particles of different types, the repulsion between particle and boundary, except for the dependence of the variations of mean-square bond length on the thickness of film, which exhibits as a wave trend. What's more, the varying trends of mean-square bond length and root-mean-square end-to-end distance can correspond to each other. The density distribution of either component in diblock copolymer film can be controlled and adjusted effectively through its interaction with boundary.

Formation of Vesicles from Amphiphilic Random Copolymers in Solution: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation Study

Five coarse-grained models were built for amphiphilic random copolymers. The self-assembly of amphiphilic random copolymers in selective solvent was investigated via dissipative particle dynamics simulations. The simulation results showed that the content of hydrophilic particles and the repulsive parameter between solvent and copolymer particles were two key factors of the vesicle formation. We report herein on how to control the self-assembled morphology evolution. The two mechanisms of vesicle formation from amphiphilic random copolymers are found through investigating the dynamic processes of vesicle formation, which is in accordance with the experiment and simulation results of amphiphilic block copolymer reported in the literature.      

Mesophase Separation of Diblock Copolymer Confined in a Cylindrical Tube Studied by Dissipative Particle Dynamics

Summary: The morphologies of diblock copolymers confined in a cylindrical tube have been investigated by the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. Results indicate that the morphology depends on the volume ratio of the immiscible blocks, the diameter of the cylindrical tube and the interactions between the blocks and between the confinement wall and blocks. For symmetric diblock copolymers, when the tube wall is uniform toward the two blocks, perpendicular lamellae or a stacked disk morphology are generally formed except when the diameter of the cylindrical tube is very small; in that case, a special bi‐helix morphology forms because of the entropy effect. When the tube wall is non‐uniform, as the diameter of the tube increases, perpendicular lamellae are first formed, then changing to parallel lamellae and, finally, back to perpendicular lamellae again. An intermediate morphology characterizing the transition between perpendicular and parallel lamellae is observed. If the non‐uniformity of the wall is further enhanced, only parallel lamellae can be found. In the case of asymmetric diblock copolymers, more complex morphologies can be obtained. Multi‐cylindrical micro‐domains and a multilayer helical phase as well as other complex pictures are observed. Generally, the morphologies obtained could find their counterparts from experiments or Monte Carlo simulations; however, differences do exist, especially in some cases of asymmetric diblock copolymers.
