Density functional theory for a primitive model of nanoparticle-block copolymer mixtures

Amphiphilic block copolymers provide useful templates for fabrication of nanostructured materials that are appealing for a wide variety of applications. The preparation of polymer-particle hybrid materials requires a good understanding of the chemical nature and topology of the amphiphilic molecules as well as their interactions with the embedded nanoparticles. This article reports a density functional theory (DFT) for a coarse-grained model of block copolymer-nanoparticle mixtures that is able to account for the properties of particles and copolymers within a self-consistent framework. It predicts various well-organized structures that can be effectively controlled by adjusting the polymer chain length and polymer-particle interactions. Illustrative examples based on relatively short chains suggest that, in qualitative agreement with experiments, large particles tend to be excluded from a polymer brush near a solid substrate, whereas smaller particles may be dissolved. The DFT is able to capture the dispersion of large particles in the microdomain of block copolymer that is energetically favorable, but localization of smaller particles at the microdomain interfaces.

Sophisticated macromolecular structures by cationic ring-opening polymerizations

A combination of different types of cationic ring-opening polymerizations (CROPs) has been used to construct macromolecular structures containing polymer segments with different physicochemical properties.

Stereospecific Olefin Polymerization with Chiral Metallocene Catalysts

Current studies on novel, metallocenebased catalysts for the polymerization of α-olefins have far-reaching implications for the development of new materials as well as for the understanding of basic reaction mechanisms responsible for the growth of a polymer chain at a catalyst center and the control of its stereoregularity. In contrast to heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalysts, polymerization by a homogeneous, metallocene-based catalyst occurs principally at a single type of metal center with a defined coordination environment. This makes it possible to correlate metallocene structures with polymer properties such as molecular weight, stereochemical microstructure, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties. Homogeneous catalyst systems now afford efficient control of regio- and stereoregularities, molecular weights and molecular weight distributions, and comonomer incorporation. By providing a means for the homo- and copolymerization of cyclic olefins, the cyclopolymerization of dienes, and access even to functionalized polyolefins, these catalysts greatly expand the range and versatility of technically feasible types of polyolefin materials.

Recent progress on cyclic polymers: Synthesis,bioproperties, and biomedical applications

Polymer topologies exert a significant effect on its properties, and polymer nanostructures with advanced architectures, such as cyclic polymers, star‐shaped polymers, and hyperbranched polymers, are a promising class of materials with advantages over conventional linear counterparts. Cyclic polymers, due to the lack of polymer chain ends, have displayed intriguing physical and chemical properties. Such uniqueness has drawn considerable attention over the past decade. The current review focuses on the recent progress in the design and development of cyclic polymer with an emphasis on its synthesis and bio‐related properties and applications. Two primary synthetic strategies towards cyclic polymers, that is, ring‐expansion polymerization and ring‐closure reaction are summarized. The bioproperties and biomedical applications of cyclic polymers are then highlighted. In the end, the future directions of this rapidly developing research field are discussed. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2016 , 54, 1447–1458     

Polymers with macrocyclic architectures: Synthesis and properties

The preparation by living polymerization and the investigation of the properties of polymers with cyclic chain architectures have been recently undertaken. The cyclization involves a unimolecular end-to-end reaction of a heterodifunctional linear precursor. The elementary steps of the cyclization mechanism are examined in the light of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) data obtained on linear polystyrene precursors and cyclized products. The synthetic procedures developed to prepare macrocyclic polymers of various structures, as well as macrocyclic random and block copolymers are then reviewed and discussed. The main characteristics of the cyclic (co)polymers are compared to the corresponding linear chains and some of the original properties that are induced by the cyclic chain architecture are presented.
