Book excerpt: The progress in polymer science is revealed in the chapters of Polymer Science: A Comprehensive Reference, Ten Volume Set. In Volume 1, this is reflected in the improved understanding of the properties of polymers in solution, in bulk and in confined situations such as in thin films. Volume 2 addresses new characterization techniques, such as high resolution optical microscopy, scanning probe microscopy and other procedures for surface and interface characterization. Volume 3 presents the great progress achieved in precise synthetic polymerization techniques for vinyl monomers to control macromolecular architecture: the development of metallocene and post-metallocene catalysis for olefin polymerization, new ionic polymerization procedures, and atom transfer radical polymerization, nitroxide mediated polymerization, and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer systems as the most often used controlled/living radical polymerization methods. Volume 4 is devoted to kinetics, mechanisms and applications of ring opening polymerization of heterocyclic monomers and cycloolefins (ROMP), as well as to various less common polymerization techniques. Polycondensation and non-chain polymerizations, including dendrimer synthesis and various "click" procedures, are covered in Volume 5. Volume 6 focuses on several aspects of controlled macromolecular architectures and soft nano-objects including hybrids and bioconjugates. Many of the achievements would have not been possible without new characterization techniques like AFM that allowed direct imaging of single molecules and nano-objects with a precision available only recently. An entirely new aspect in polymer science is based on the combination of bottom-up methods such as polymer synthesis and molecularly programmed self-assembly with top-down structuring such as lithography and surface templating, as presented in Volume 7. It encompasses polymer and nanoparticle assembly in bulk and under confined conditions or influenced by an external field, including thin films, inorganic-organic hybrids, or nanofibers. Volume 8 expands these concepts focusing on applications in advanced technologies, e.g. in electronic industry and centers on combination with top down approach and functional properties like conductivity. Another type of functionality that is of rapidly increasing importance in polymer science is introduced in volume 9. It deals with various aspects of polymers in biology and medicine, including the response of living cells and tissue to the contact with biofunctional particles and surfaces. The last volume is devoted to the scope and potential provided by environmentally benign and green polymers, as well as energy-related polymers. They discuss new technologies needed for a sustainable economy in our world of limited resources. Provides broad and in-depth coverage of all aspects of polymer science from synthesis/polymerization, properties, and characterization methods and techniques to nanostructures, sustainability and energy, and biomedical uses of polymers Provides a definitive source for those entering or researching in this area by integrating the multidisciplinary aspects of the science into one unique, up-to-date reference work Electronic version has complete cross-referencing and multi-media components Volume editors are world experts in their field (including a Nobel Prize winner)
Download or read book Novel Hybrid Nanomaterials Based on Polyferrocenylsilane Block Copolymers written by Hai Wang and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polyferrocenyldimethylsilane (PFS) block copolymers self-assemble in selective solvents to form micelles, in which a PFS core is surrounded by a corona of soluble chains. One striking feature of PFS block copolymers is their propensity for forming cylindrical micelles. This thesis focuses on the preparation of novel hybrid nanomaterials using PFS containing cylindrical micelles. These micelles were prepared from PI-b-PFS (PI: polyisoprene) diblock copolymers, or from a new set of PI-b-PFP- b-PFS (PFP: poly(ferrocenylphenylphosphine)) triblock copolymers and PFS-b-P2VP (P2VP: poly(2-vinylpyridine)) diblock copolymers. Specifically, this thesis is classified into the following five parts. Shell-crosslinked PI-b-PFS cylindrical micelles were used as the templates for the preparation of one-dimensional arrays of silver and silver halide nanoparticles. After the PI corona was crosslinked by a Pt(0)-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction, the PI-b-PFS cylindrical micelles retained their integrity in common good solvents for both blocks. An in-situ redox reaction involving PFS led to silver or silver halide nanoparticles that were confined within the core (PFS) of these micelles. Shell-crosslinked elongated micelles formed by a new type of PFS triblock copolymers, PI-b-PFP-b-PFS, were used to prepare one-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles. The phosphorus centers in the polymer backbone were used to introduce Au(I) atoms into the elongated micelles through a coordination reaction. A new class of PFS diblock copolymers, PFS-b-P2VP, was synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization. These polymers showed a remarkable difference in their self-assembly in different alcohol solvents. For example, PFS17-b-P2VP170 with a block ratio of 1: 10 formed spherical micelles in methanol, but gave cylindrical micelles in 2-propanol. The crystallization of the PFS block appears to play a critical role in the formation of the cylindrical micelles. A new type of cylindrical micelles with a B-A-B triblock architecture was created by self-assembly. These structures with positive charges confined to the middle (A) block were obtained by growing PFS-b-P2VP cylindrical micelles off the ends of partially quaternized PFS-b-P2VP seed micelles. Electrostatic interactions were used to selectively functionalize the resulting segmented cylindrical micelles with Au and PbS nanoparticles in a spatially selective manner to afford novel composite structures. Cylindrical PFS17-b-P2VP170 micelles were used in the template-directed synthesis of TiO2 nanowires. The positive charges on coronal quaternized P2VP units effectively directed the deposition of TiO2 via a sol-gel process. The TiO2 coated cylinders were converted to crystalline TiO2 nanowires after calcination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymers are huge macromolecules composed of repeating structural units. While polymer in popular usage suggests plastic, the term actually refers to a large class of natural and synthetic materials. Due to the extraordinary range of properties accessible, polymers have come to play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life - from plastics and elastomers on the one hand to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins on the other hand. The study of polymer science begins with understanding the methods in which these materials are synthesized. Polymer synthesis is a complex procedure and can take place in a variety of ways. This book brings together the "Who is who" of polymer science to give the readers an overview of the large field of polymer synthesis. It is a one-stop reference and a must-have for all Chemists, Polymer Chemists, Chemists in Industry, and Materials Scientists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology is a vital new area of research and development addressing the control, modification and fabrication of materials, structures and devices with nanometre precision and the synthesis of such structures into systems of micro- and macroscopic dimensions. Future applications of nanoscale science and technology include motors smaller than the diameter of a human hair and single-celled organisms programmed to fabricate materials with nanometer precision. Miniaturisation has revolutionised the semiconductor industry by making possible inexpensive integrated electronic circuits comprised of devices and wires with sub-micrometer dimensions. These integrated circuits are now ubiquitous, controlling everything from cars to toasters. The next level of miniaturisation, beyond sub-micrometer dimensions into nanoscale dimensions (invisible to the unaided human eye) is a booming area of research and development. This is a very hot area of research with large amounts of venture capital and government funding being invested worldwide, as such Nanoscale Science and Technology has a broad appeal based upon an interdisciplinary approach, covering aspects of physics, chemistry, biology, materials science and electronic engineering. Kelsall et al present a coherent approach to nanoscale sciences, which will be invaluable to graduate level students and researchers and practising engineers and product designers.
