Book Design and Synthesis of Liquid Crystalline Polymer Brushes and Hydrogen Bonded Polymers

Download or read book Design and Synthesis of Liquid Crystalline Polymer Brushes and Hydrogen Bonded Polymers written by Emma L. Conlin and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our research is aimed at developing macromolecules that will lead to improved polar order in materials and new types of sensors. Our approach to developing noncentrosymmetric materials is to use hydrogen bonded liquid crystalline monomers. We report the synthesis and characterization of three molecules. Next, we investigate the presence of hydrogen bonding and the phase transitions of these molecules. We also incorporate these polymers into a liquid crystalline host. We also aim to develop polymers that may lead to the development of new sensors. Two monomers are chosen, synthesized and characterized. Solution polymerizations are performed; next, an initiator is synthesized and placed on a quartz substrate as a precursor to a liquid crystalline polymer brush. Initial attempts at brush synthesis were unsuccessful.

Book Synthesis and Characterization of Self assembling Polymers Using Hydrogen Bonding Or Hydrophobic Effect

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Self assembling Polymers Using Hydrogen Bonding Or Hydrophobic Effect written by Xinjun Yu and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is mainly based on the works of synthesis and characterization of self-assembling polymers using hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. Firstly, N-alkyl urea peptoid oligomer was synthesized as backbone of supramolecular polymers through three step repetition cycles with high yield. One N-alkyl urea peptoid precursor was explored to simplify the synthetic process. 4 different functional groups were converted from one precursor. Then 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) group which is a quadruple hydrogen bonding system was incorporated to N-alkyl urea peptoid oligomers to generate supramolecules. With the experience of UPy unit, we further explored UPy containing monomer to make organogelators. Three different monomers with different Tg values were copolymerized using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Organogels were afforded in both chloroform and dichlorobenzene. Critical gelation concentration and mechanic properties of organogels were examined. Cooperating another novel monomer containing pyrene unit to the above copolymers, fluorescent organogels were achieved which were suitable for potential up-conversion applications. In addition to pyrene, anthracene is another molecule which shows great up-conversion property. A series of Poly[(9-anthrylmethyl methacrylate)-co-(methyl methacrylate)] (Poly(AnMMA-co-MMA)) with different AnMMA ratios were synthesized via RAFT polymerization, resulting in tunable inter-chromophore distances. These polymers can serve as emitters, with PtOEP as sensitizer, in triplet-triplet annihilation up-conversion (TTA-UC) systems. TTA-UC intensity of the Poly(AnMMA-co-MMA)/PtOEP mixtures displays interesting dependence on the AnMMA ratio in the polymer. Interactions between chromophores on the same polymer chain play the key role in affecting the TTA-UC intensity in these systems. It is critical to minimize intra-chain chromophore quenching in order to achieve high UC intensity. Hydrophobic effect was used to obtain a hybrid photosensitizer. By integrating amphiphilic block copolymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-b-styrene) (PNIPAAm-b-styrene) stabilized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with hematoporphyrin (HP), HP was trapped by polystyrene block through hydrophobic effects. Hydrophilic block can increase the solubility of this photosensitizer in aqueous solution. This hybrid photosensitizer was demonstrated to enhance singlet oxygen production. Finally, a self-immolative polymer was made with a kinetically stable polymer backbone, whose chain end can respond to external stimulus by triggering a head-to-tail depolymerizaiton. Electrospining was used to fabricate nano-scale fibers which can be utilized in potential drug delivery system.

Book Synthesis  Characterization  and Rheology of Functional and Heterocyclic Liquid Crystalline Polymers

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Rheology of Functional and Heterocyclic Liquid Crystalline Polymers written by Wenyi Huang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three segmented main-chain thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) functionalized with nitrogen-containing heterocyclic groups were synthesized; namely PyHQ12 having pendent pyridyl group, PABP having side-chain azopyridyl group with flexible spacer, and PTBP containing side-chain terpyridine group with flexible spacer. The principles of specific interactions were applied to prepare supramolecular structures and organoclay or clay nanocomposites based on these functional TLCPs. Three combined main-chain/side-chain liquid-crystalline polymers (MCSCLCPs) were prepared via hydrogen bonding or ionic interactions based on PyHQ12 and PABP. The presence of hydrogen bonds in self-assembled PyHQ12-7CNCOOH and PABP-AA, and the presence of ionic interactions in self-assembled PABP-TSA, which exist above their respective clearing temperatures, were confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, the thermal transitions in each MCSCLCP were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the mesophase structures of each self-assembled MCSCLCP were characterized using polarized optical microscopy (POM) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). PyHQ12 was observed to be very effective in exfoliating organoclay (Cloisite 30B) aggregates, because of the formation of hydrogen bonds, as determined by in situ FTIR spectroscopy, between the pendent pyridyl group in PyHQ12 and the hydroxyl groups in the surfactant MT2EtOH residing at the surface of Cloisite 30B. Thus, functionality in TLCP is necessary to obtain highly dispersed organoclay nanocomposites, but at the same time there is a possibility to lose some degree of liquid crystallinity in the TLCP, due to the proximity of the pendent pyridyl group to the mesogenic main-chain backbone. Thus, another functional TLCP, PABP having side-chain azopyridyl group with flexible spacer, was synthesized. It has been found that the liquid crystallinity of PABP in the organoclay nanocomposites was more or less intact and yet organoclay (Cloisite 30B) aggregates were very well dispersed, which was attributed to the fact that the pyridyl group in the side-chain azopyridine of PABP is located sufficiently far away from the mesogenic main chain. The rheological properties of functional TLCP/organoclay nanocomposites were also investigated. A unique polymer/ruthenium complex [RuII(PTBP)(6TPy)](PF6)2 based on PTBP was used to prepare natural clay (Montmorillonite, MMT) nanocomposite. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy indicate that MMT has a high degree of exfoliation in the matrix of PTBP/ruthenium complex. UV-vis spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy show that the driving force for exfoliating MMT in PTBP/ruthenium complex is attributable to the Coulombic interactions between the positively charged ruthenium center in the side chain of the polymer and the negatively charged clay surfaces.
