Synthesis of PDMAEMA-PCL-PDMAEMA triblock copolymers

The synthesis of ABA triblock copolymers of the type PDMAEMA-PCL-PDMAEMA was achieved by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of DMAEMA using difunctional polycaprolactone (PCL) as macroinitiator. First, ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) was carried out in the presence of 1,2-diaminoethane/tin (II) octanoate. Dihydroxy PCL thus obtained was end-functionalized in a quantitative manner using 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide. The resulting Br-PCL-Br was used as macroinitiator in the ATRP of DMAEMA leading to triblock copolymers with PCL as the central block and PDMAEMA sequences of different lengths. NMR and SEC analyses confirmed the formation of ABA triblocks.

Synthesis of poly[arylene ether sulfone-b-vinylidene fluoride] block copolymers

A series of α,ω-dihydroxy polyarylene sulfones (PAES) were synthesized comprising bisphenol A (PAES1, M_n=1800, 4900, and 9500 daltons), 4,4^′-biphenol (PAES2, M_n=4100 daltons), and hexafluorobisphenol A (PAES3, M_n=3300 daltons). These were reacted with α,ω-dibromo poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, M_n=1200 daltons) prepared by telomerization, to yield block copolymers possessing rigid and flexible segments. Block copolymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR, GPC, DSC, TGA and TEM. In several cases the block copolymers exhibited distinct thermal transitions, i.e. T_m and T_g for PVDF and PAES segments, respectively. Where observable, T_g of PAES domains in the block copolymers occurred at a temperature lower than the corresponding PAES homopolymer due to the flexible nature of the surrounding PVDF domains. Block copolymers exhibited a similar thermal stability to the corresponding PAES homopolymers but higher stability than the PVDF homopolymer, and much higher still than α,ω-dibromo PVDF. TEM analyses indicate that phase separation of PAES and PVDF domains occurs on the nanometer scale.     

Novel fluorinated block copolymer architectures fuelled by atom transfer radical polymerization

Block copolymers based on poly(pentafluorostyrene), PFS, in various numbers and of different lengths, and polystyrene are prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Di- and triblock copolymers with varying amounts of PFS were synthesized employing either 1-phenylethylbromide or 1,4-dibromoxylene as initiators for ATRP. Diverse bromo(ester) (macro)initiators were also devised and involved in the formulation of fluorinated pentablock as well as amphiphilic triblock copolymers with a central polyether segment. Amphiphilic star-shaped fluoropolymers, hydrophobic fluorinated nanoparticles, or segmented fluorinated star-shaped block copolymers are further designed by use of different multifunctional initiators. The composition of the novel materials with PFS is determined by combination of SEC and ¹H NMR. Glass transition temperatures and thermal stabilities of the hydrophobic star-shaped PFSs on a six arm dipentaerythritol core are investigated in a wide range of molecular masses and further discussed.

Comportement tensioactif des copolymères amphiphiles a séquence hydrophile polyélectrolyte

Résumé La courbe représentant, en fonction de la concentrationc, la tension interfaciale entre le toluène et une solution aqueuse d'un copolymère á blocs amphiphile á séquence hydrophile polyélectrolyte (polystyrène-b-polyvinyl-2-pyridine quaternisée au bromure d'éthyle) est foncièrement différente de celle que l'on obtient avec les détergents classiques.Les longues séquences polyélectrolytes ancrées á l'interface y établissent entre les deux phases une différence de potentiel électrique bien supérieure á celle que l'on obtient avec les détergents classiques. Il en résulte que le système reste éloigné de l'équilibre thermodynamique. Comme les énergies d'activation des processus d'adsorption et de désorption sont de nature différente, les courbes (,c) etablies en concentration croissante et décroissante sont non seulement distinctes, mais de caractères différents.

Summary Plotting the water toluene interface tension against the concentrationc, one gets quite different behaviours using classical detergents (Sodium laurylsulfate) or ampholytic block copolymers with polyelectrolytic hydrophilic sequence. (polystyrene-b-polyvinyl-2-pyridine quaternized with ethylbromid).These polyelectrolytic sequences build at the interface a much larger electric potential drop than usual detergents do. It follows that the system keeps far away from the thermodynamic equilibrium. Since adsorption and desorption processes have activation energies of different natures, it turns out that the (,c) curves are quite different in characters if constructed in growing or fallingc values.

Zusammenfassung Kurven, welche die Wasser-Toluol-Grenzflächenspannung als Funktion der Konzentrationc wiedergeben, sind für gewöhnliche Tenside und für Ampholytblock-Copolymere mit einer polyelektrolytartigen Sequenz, völlig verschiedenDie polyelektrolytartige Sequenz bildet an der Grenzfläche einen weitaus größeren elektrischen Potentialsprung als gewöhnliche Tenside. Daraus folgt, daß man dem thermodynamischen Gleichgewicht fern bleibt, und, da Ad- und Desorptionsprozesse unterschiedliche Aktivationsenergien besitzen, sind die (,c) Kurven mit steigenden und fallendenc-Werten völlig verschieden.

     

Thermosensitive polymeric vesicles self-assembled by PNIPAAm-b-PPG-b-PNIPAAm triblock copolymers

PNIPAAm-b-PPG-b-PNIPAAm triblock copolymers were prepared by redox polymerization. The self-assembly behavior and thermosensitive property of the copolymers in water were studied using ¹H-NMR, TEM and a UV spectrophotometer. The results showed that the LCST of the copolymers was 32 °C, which was consistent with that of pure PNIPAAm. The copolymers could form a vesicular structure in an aqueous solution by self-assembly. The hollow structure of the PNIPAAm-b-PPG-b-PNIPAAm vesicles combined with the temperature-sensitive property may enable many potential applications of the vesicles.

Morphology and transport properties of protons and methanol through partially sulfonated block copolymers

The morphological changes with different compositions of casting solvents in the membranes of sulfonated polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) were investigated with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Using the single solvent of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and the solvent mixtures of methanol/THF with different compositions, the casting polymer solutions were prepared for the membrane fabrication. The proton conductivity and the methanol permeability of membranes were measured, and the effect of morphological changes on the casting solvents was discussed through Flory–Huggins theory. It was found that the sulfonated SEBS membranes were transformed from well ordered lamellar to disordered co-continuous structure and the morphological difference caused abrupt enhancement in the proton conductivity and the methanol permeability as the concentration of methanol in the mixed solvents (MeOH/THF) increased.
