Grafting of amphiphilic block copolymers on lignocellulosic materials via SI‐AGET‐ATRP

Functionalizing biosourced materials is a major topic in the field of materials science. In particular, grafting polymerization techniques have been employed to change the surface properties of various substrates. Here, we report on the grafting of amphiphilic block copolymers in lignocellulosic materials using surface‐initiated activators generated by electron transfer atomic transfer radical polymerization (SI‐AGET‐ATRP). With this modification, it is possible to combine the interesting properties (anisotropy and high mechanical stability) of lightweight lignocellulosic materials, such as wood, with the special properties of the grafted block copolymers. Hydroxyl groups on wood cell wall biopolymers were used for the chemical bonding of an alkyl bromide as the initiator for AGET‐SI‐ATRP of a highly hydrophilic monomer ([2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride) and a highly hydrophobic fluorinated monomer (2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5‐octafluoropentyl methacrylate). The successful grafting of homopolymers and block copolymers onto the wood structure was confirmed through Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The functionalization with the two homopolymers yielded lignocellulosic materials with opposite wettabilities, whereas by the adjustment of the ratio between the two copolymer blocks, it was possible to tune the wettability between these two extremes. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) and preparation of its random copolymers: new hybrid materials

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were functionalized with poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT) using a simple “chemical grafting” approach. After the conventional acid oxidation (AO) process, the MWNT-COOH was converted to the acyl chloride functionalized MWNTs (MWNT-COCl) by treating them with thionyl chloride. The MWNT-COCl were further reacted with a functionalized monomer based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene (ProDOT-OH), followed by oxidative polymerization to prepare the MWNT-g-PProDOT hybrid. The monomer-functionalized MWNTs was further copolymerized with thiophene to prepare conducting copolymers on carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Fourier-transformed infrared spectrophotometry was employed to characterize the change in surface functionalities, which revealed that the PProDOT was covalently grafted to the MWNTs, while TGA was used to study the weight gain due to the functionalization. UV–Vis absorption spectra revealed the functionalization of the conjugated polymer by showing the typical absorption band. The morphology micrographs of the grafted PProDOT on MWNTs as evidenced by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy showed apparent effect on the structure and appearance of the MWNTs by growing thicker as expected from surface modification. Using the facile route developed in this study, CNTs can be easily fabricated with other types of polymers for several applications.     

Covalent assembly of shortened multiwall carbon nanotubes on polyelectrolyte films and relevant electrochemistry study

A significant and versatile approach was developed for perpendicularly aligning multiwall carbon nanotubes on diverse substrates suitable for layer-by-layer self-assembly. The multiwall carbon nanotubes (s-MWNTs) used were shortened with oxidation under ultrasonic and functionalized with acyl chloride in thionyl chloride (SOCl2). The monolayer of s-MWNTs perpendicularly grafted to the substrate was obtained by dipping the polyelectrolyte modifying substrate into a tetrahydrofuran suspension of the functionalized s-MWNTs. The interaction proved to be stable and not liable to be affected by the ambience. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to examine the morphology of the MWNTs and s-MWNTs grafted on the substrates. Raman spectroscopy was applied to verify the existence of s-MWNTs for assembly, and Fourier transform infrared absorption spectra were used to investigate the interaction pattern between s-MWNTs and polyelectrolyte. The electrochemistry properties of the monolayer of s-MWNTs when the substrate was indium-tin oxide were studied.

Studies on the structure and resistance to thermooxidation of graft copolymer of polycaproamide with polyacrylonitrile and sulfur-containing derivatives

By the methods of infrared and mass spectroscopy, the structure of grafted copolymer of polycaproamide (PCA) with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was examined. It is shown on the grounds of analysis of infrared absorption bands and mass spectrum of the volatile products of grafted copolymer thermodestruction that the graft copolymerization in the redox system Fe⁺³/H₂O₂ is carried out at the expense of the radicals, formed on COOH groups of PCA. The structure of grafted chains PAN changes owing to formation of cycles containing ? S? and C?N groups at the grafted copolymer treatment with Na₂S. By the means of complex thermal analysis, the steadiness of the obtained products to thermooxidizing destruction was investigated. It was found that the presence of sulfur in the grafted copolymer PCA–PAN considerably intensifies the processes of grafted-chain PAN cyclization as compared with the PAN homopolymer. It was shown that Na₂S treatment brings to the product with the minimized absorption of oxygen at the isothermal heating that indicates its stability with regard to thermooxidizing destruction     

Macromolecular models for branched PVC. I. Copolymer of vinyl chloride with isopropenyl chloride

A new type of model for study of polymer anomalies by copolymerization is proposed. For branched PVC, the vinyl chloride–isopropenyl chloride copolymer was used as the macromolecular model. A regulatory and inhibitory action of isopropenyl chloride during the polymerization was demonstrated. To determine the composition of the copolymer, methods based on elemental analysis and NMR and infrared spectra were utilized. It was found that the copolymer composition is very close to that of the polymerization mixture. The structure of the copolymer was studied from infrared spectra. It was found that both forms T_CHH and T_HHH are present, the former being present in a larger quantity. The possibility of the utilization of spectral methods on macromolecular systems to determine the structure and content of a chlorine atom bound to a tertiary carbon atom (Cl_T) in the presence of an excess of chlorine bound to a secondary carbon was verified.     

The molecular structure of SEBS grafted with maleic anhydride through ultrasound initiation

The molecular structure of SEBS grafted with maleic anhydride(SEBS-g-MAH) through ultrasound initiation was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR). It can be confirmed that the grafting groups mainly exist on the terminus of the ultrasound initiated SEBS-g-MAH. However, it was difficult to detailedly confirm the block of the SEBS on which MAH is grafted through characterization of 1H-NMR due to the complex structure of the SEBS. Moreover, the temperaturedependent infrared spectra of the ultrasound initiated SEBS-g-MAH were also analyzed by the perturbation correlation moving window 2D(PCMW2D) correlation spectroscopy. It could confirm that the broken point existed at the joint between poly(ethylene-co-1-butene)(EB block) and polystyrene block(S block). Therefore, the grafting groups were attached to not only the S block but also the EB block. In addition, in order to well understand the aggregation structure of the ultrasound initiated SEBS-g-MAH, the possible grafting mechanism and aggregation model of the ultrasound initiated SEBS-g-MAH at room temperature were also proposed.     

Use of FT-IR Spectrometry for On-Line Detection in Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation

Summary: Temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) has become a popular analytical technique that is able to determine the chemical composition distribution (CCD) of an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer. An infrared (IR) detector is commonly used in TREF detection to measure the concentration of the polymer solution exiting the column as a function of elution temperature. The chemical composition of the eluting polymer at a given elution temperature can be predicted from the relationship between comonomer content and TREF elution temperature pre-established through ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of TREF fractions. In this article, a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer has been coupled with a TREF instrument to provide a more powerful tool for characterizing complex olefin copolymers. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique is used when analyzing the FT-IR spectra of the eluting polymer solutions. The power of on-line FT-IR detection in TREF is demonstrated using a few complex copolymer systems, such as ethylene-octene copolymer, polystyrene grafted ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer.

Complexation of linear and poly(ethylene oxide)‐grafted poly(methacryl oxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride) with poly(ethylene oxide‐block‐sodium methacrylate)

The interactions between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes were studied in saline aqueous solutions as functions of the temperature and the salt and polymer concentrations. The polyanion was a diblock copolymer composed of a poly(ethylene oxide) block and a poly(sodium methacrylate) block. Two polycations were used, the homopolymer poly(methacryl oxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride) and its poly(ethylene oxide)‐grafted analogue. By dynamic light scattering and turbidity measurements, it was observed that the salt concentration, temperature, and counterion size had a significant effect on the formation of the polymer complexes in aqueous solutions. At a fixed salt concentration and a fixed temperature, it was possible to form completely soluble complexes of an ionic polymer in aqueous solutions between poly(ethylene oxide)‐grafted poly(methacryl oxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride)and the polyanion with a poly(ethylene oxide) block at a 1:1 anion/cation ratio. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two-dimensional liquid chromatography of PDMS-PS block copolymers

In this study, liquid chromatography at critical conditions of polystyrene (PS) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used as the first dimension for the two-dimensional analysis of polydimethylsiloxane-block-polystyrene copolymers. Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography with size exclusion chromatography as the second dimension reveals information about the molar mass distributions of all separated fractions from the first dimension. Furthermore, fractions eluting at the critical conditions were collected and subjected to analysis in the second dimension at the critical adsorption point of the other block. These fractions were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to determine their chemical compositions. The combination of the above approaches and the calibration of the evaporative light scattering detector for the first-dimension analysis yield deep insights into the molecular heterogeneity of the block copolymer samples. The composition of the samples and the chemical composition of the real block copolymer are also calculated by combining the results obtained at both critical conditions.     

Kinetic study of the sulfonation of hydrogenated styrene butadiene block copolymer (HSBS): Microstructural and electrical characterizations

In this work homogeneous sulfonation kinetic and both, microstructural and electrical characterizations of hydrogenated styrene butadiene block copolymer (HSBS) were studied. The incorporation of sulfonic groups was checked by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) and the sulfonation level was determined by both, elemental analysis (E.A.) and chemical titration. Thermal behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), in order to determine thermal transitions and stability, respectively. Microstructure was studied, by means of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was studied for several samples and evidenced a morphology change when the sulfonation level increases. Finally, electrical behavior was recorded by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the four-probe technique (FPT). Results show that sulfonation of the benzene rings, in the styrene units, has effectively occurred and that the sulfonation level increases with reaction time. When incrementing the sulfonation level, a structural change in the copolymer was observed. Interconnected clusters allow proton conduction through the membrane. The ion conductivity obtained was about 10⁻² S/cm.     

季铵盐改性氧化石墨烯的制备及其性能研究

本论文采用改进的Hummers法制备了氧化石墨烯(GO),并将氧化石墨烯用十二烷基二甲基苄基氯化铵(1227)进行修饰,得到1227非共价改性的氧化石墨烯(GO-1227)。用拉曼光谱、漫反射红外光谱分析、X-射线光电子表面能谱技术表征了其化学结构;用X-射线衍射分析、扫描电子显微镜与透射电子显微镜观察了其剥离情况和微观形貌;分析了它们在不同溶剂中的分散性。结果表明,季铵盐改性后,1227阳离子通过静电作用插入到GO片层之间,使GO片层进一步剥离,且在极性较弱的有机溶剂中的溶解性增加。热失重分析表明,GO-1227的初始分解温度提高了约70℃。将GO-1227与聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯与苯乙烯的嵌段共聚物(PMMA-b-PS)凝胶聚电解质复合,制备了纳米复合凝胶聚合物电解质(NGPE),并用交流阻抗法测试其电性能,发现占聚电解质总质量2‰的GO-1227可以将其离子电导率提高8.6倍。     

Chemical modification of the polymeric sorbent containing hydroxyl functional groups

Summary Dimethyldichlorosilane and stearic acid chloride were used for deactivation of hydroxyl functional groups present in the skeleton of the methacrylic ester ofp,p′-dihydroxydiphenylpropane diglycidyl ether-divinylbenzene, porous copolymer used as HPLC packing. The influence of chemical modification on the chromatographic behaviour of the copolymer was studied. To characterize selectivity of the packings, retention indices of five homologous series and test compounds were determined. The data obtained suggest that modification with stearic acid chloride affects both the chemical and porous structure of the copolymer while modification with dimethydichlorosilane changes only the chemical character of the packing.     

Control of surface properties using fluorinated polymer brushes produced by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization

Surface-grafted styrene-based homopolymer and diblock copolymer brushes bearing semifluorinated alkyl side groups were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerization on planar silicon oxide surfaces. The polymer brushes were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), and time-dependent water contact angle measurements. Angle-resolved XPS studies and water contact angle measurements showed that, in the case of the diblock copolymer brushes, the second block to be added was always exposed at the polymer-air interface regardless of its surface energy. Values of z*/Rg were estimated based on the radius of gyration, Rg, of the grafted homopolymer or block copolymer chains for the grafted brushes and thickness of the brush, z*. The fact that z*/Rg > 1 suggests that all these brushes are stretched. These results support the idea that after grafting the first block onto the surface the nitroxide-end capped polymer chains were able to polymerize the second block in a "living" fashion and the stretched brush so formed was dense enough that the outermost block in all cases completely covers the surface. NEXAFS analysis showed a relationship between the surface orientation of the fluorinated side chains and brush thickness with thicker brushes having more oriented side chains. Time-dependent water contact angle measurements revealed that the orientation of the side chains of the brush improved the surface stability toward reconstruction upon prolonged exposure to water.     

Switchable thin‐film surface prepared via a simple grafting‐to method using a polystyrene‐b‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) copolymer

A polystyrene‐b‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine) block copolymer containing a methylhydridosilane linking group was chemically grafted to an 8‐trichlorosilyloctene monolayer via a simple one‐step hydrosilylation reaction. The resulting Y‐shaped thin film exhibited a low grafting density, which was characteristic of the grafting‐to technique. To further reduce the miscibility of the two arms, methyl iodide was reacted with the poly(2‐vinylpyridine) block to produce quaternary ammonium groups. The surfaces before and after quaternization were both solvent‐switchable when subjected to block‐selective solvents. Tensiometry, ellipsometry, attenuated total reflection/Fourier transform infrared, and atomic force microscopy were used to characterize the properties and morphology of both unquaternized and quaternized samples. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Spectroscopic Investigation of Polypeptide Plane Brushes

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for determination of orientational and conformational characteristics of plane polypeptide brushes with different density of polypeptide chains grafted to modified silicon surface. The determination of grafting density of polypeptide chains in brushes, which depends on chemical structure of spacer groups, was carried out using ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. The influence of chemical structure of modifying spacer groups and outer conditions on the characteristics of plane polypeptide brushes was established. The peculiarities of α-helical structure (random coil transfer of polymer chains in brushes under the action of denaturants) were investigated.
