Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstanding tradition and good reputation in its community. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summarize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed. Advances in Polymer Science volumes thus are important references for every polymer scientist, as well as for other scientists interested in polymer science - as an introduction to a neighboring field, or as a compilation of detailed information for the specialist.

Download or read book New Avenues to Hybrid Polymer Inorganic Nanoparticle Materials Using Surface Initiated Ring Opening Metathesis Polymerization and Reaction Induced Phase Transitions written by Jacob LaNasa and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid materials made from polymer and inorganic nanoparticles offer functionality that assists in creating advanced materials by either reinforcing existing polymer properties, or by introducing inorganic material properties. As a result, these hybrids can be tailored for use in a number of exciting areas including biomedical tissue engineering, energy storage, and high temperature applications where specific properties are desired. The material processing and resulting dispersion state of the inorganic nanoparticles within the polymer phase are critical and non-trivial considerations that influence the expression of enhanced properties, and need to be carefully addressed for desirable performance. An effective strategy for controlling dispersion in hybrid materials is to modify the nanoparticle surface with ligands or polymer chains. However, many established surface-initiated polymerization techniques yield a subset of graft chemistries that do not favorably interact with polyolefins used widely across consumer and industrial materials. To expand the versatility of polymer-grafted nanoparticles, a surface-initiated ring-open- ing metathesis polymerization (SI-ROMP) technique was developed to graft unsaturated backbones from particle surfaces. Strategies to quantify and mitigate unfavorable chain transfer during polymerization were utilized, as chain transfer is a key obstacle to SI- ROMP implementation. In addition, the unsaturated polymer backbones obtained with SI-ROMP were hydrogenated to drive crystallization from the particle surface or functionalized with macromolecules to access non-linear bottlebrush graft architectures. The versatility of these new capabilities enhance polymer-grafted nanoparticle functionality, structural conformation, and thermal response and can be used to influence properties in new and advanced materials. In addition, a new processing method termed a reaction-induced phase transition (RIPT) was developed to stabilize polymer-functionalized nanoparticles in polymer matrices and dictate dispersion state. Surface-functionalized nanoparticles can be easily dispersed within a polymer matrix though an in situ polymerization where nanoparticles are initially well-solubilized in a monomer solution prior to polymerization. The in situ polymerization arrests particle mobility as the matrix increases in chain length. During this process, particles are stabilized or driven to phase separate based on thermodynamic interactions between the matrix and the functional surface ligand. This method incorporates scalable polymerization processes to develop well-dispersed hybrid polymer/inorganic nanoparticle materials at a bulk scale. The development of these methods create new avenues to improved particle dispersion needed for advance material design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of polymer nanocomposites and hybrid materials with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). Among inorganic nanoparticles, functionalized POSS are unique nano-building blocks that can be used to create a wide variety of hybrid and composite materials, where precise control of nanostructures and properties is required. This book describes the influence of incorporation of POSS moieties into (organic) polymer matrices on the mechanical, thermal and flammability behavior of composites and hybrid organic-inorganic materials. Importantly, POSS-containing materials can be bio-functionalized by linking e.g. peptides and growth factors through appropriate surface modification in order to enhance the haemo-compatibility of cardiovascular devices made of these materials. This volume includes descriptions of synthesis routes of POSS and POSS-containing polymeric materials (e.g. based on polyolefines, epoxy resins and polyurethanes), presentation of POSS’ role as flame retardants and as biocompatible linker, as well as the depiction of decomposition and ageing processes.

Download or read book Synthesis of Novel Polypeptide silica Hybrid Materials Through Surface initiated N carboxyanhydride Polymerization written by Jonathan D. Lunn and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasing demand for materials that are physically robust, easily recovered, and able to perform a wide variety of chemical functions. By combining hard and soft matter synergistically, organic-inorganic hybrid materials are potentially useful for a number of applications (e.g. catalysis, separations, sensing). In this respect, organic/ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) hybrids have attracted considerable attention, with an increasing emphasis on complex organic moieties achieved through multi-step reactions and polymerizations. It is on this front that we have focused our work, specifically in regard to polypeptides. Polypeptides are well suited organic components for hybrids as they provide a wide range of possible side chain chemistries (NH2, -SH, -COOH, -OH, etc.), chirality, and have conformations that are known to be responsive to external stimuli (pH, electrolytes, solvents, etc.). Our work has shown that N-carboxyanhydride chemistry offers a facile single step approach to the incorporation of dense polypeptide brushes in OMS. Modifying the initiator loading, pore size, pore topology, and monomer identity significantly impacted the properties of the obtained composites and peptide brush layers. Extending this work, a synthesis paradigm for preferentially grafting poly-L-lysine to the external and internal surfaces of SBA-15, a widely used OMS material, was developed. We observed that the pores of these hybrids could be opened and closed by the reversible swelling of the polypeptide layer. Similarly, novel bifunctional hybrids were synthesized by grafting polypeptides to the external surface of monodisperse OMS spheres that contain a thiol-functionalized core. The accessibility of the internal thiols to a fluorescent dye shows the potential of these hybrids for applications such as controlled uptake/release.
