Copolymers functionalized

Pei and coworkers [362] synthesized fluorene copolymer functionalized with imidazole ligands in the side chains (270). The PL emission of 270 was sensitive to the presence of metal cations in solution (particularly efficient quenching was due to Cu2+), which makes it a promising material for fluorescent chemosensing.

Electrostatic self-assembly was combined with supramolecular chemistry to obtain inclusion complexes of a polymeric nonlinear optical (NLO) active dye and modified [3-cyclodextrin with induced chromophore orientation [37], The polyanion is a N,N-diallyl-aniline and sodium-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate copolymer functionalized with pendant azo group. The modified /i-cyclodextrin oligo-cation was obtained by treatment of hcptakis(6-dco y-6-iodo-/i-cyclodcxtrin) with excess pyridine. A linear polyamine, chitosan, was also combined with the polyanion, for comparison. Films were deposited on glass slides by dipping them alternatively in aqueous solutions of the cation and the polyanion. UV-visible spectra indicate dye aggregation and suggest the formation of an inclusion complex of the dye with the cyclodextrin, thus isolating the chromophores. 

One of the best purification processes so far discovered is based on the coordination properties of synthetic chelating polymers containing functional thiol groups [1]. Typically, effluents rejected by industries where mercury electrodes are extensively used have been purified through resins prepared with a styrene/diyjnylbenzene copolymer functionalized with thiol groups [2].

For styrene-based random copolymers, functional groups can be introduced into the polymer chains via copolymerization with functional styrene derivatives, because the electronic effects of the substituents are small in the metal-catalyzed polymerizations in comparison to the ionic counterparts. Random copolymer R-6 is of this category, synthesized from styrene and />acetoxystyrene.372 It can be transformed into styrene// -vinylphenol copolymers by hydrolysis.380 The benzyl acetate and the benzyl ether groups randomly distributed in R-7 and R-8 were transformed into benzyl bromide, which can initiate the controlled radical polymerizations of styrene in the presence of copper catalysts to give graft copolymers.209 Epoxy groups can be introduced, as in R-9, by the copper-catalyzed copolymerizations without loss of epoxy functions, while the nitroxide-mediated systems suffer from side reactions due to the high-temperature reaction.317...

As known, SEC separates macromolecules according to their size in solutioa Molecular sizes and the SEC retention volumes of complex polymers (copolymers, functional polymers) depend on all molecular characteristics of polymer. It is therefore evident that SEC carmot give quantitative data on molar masses of complex polymers that exhibit more than one dispersity (distribution) in ther molecular characteristics. 

Solme I. Cau received her Diplome d ing eur and masters degree in materiab science from Ecole Europeenne de Chimin Polymeies et Materially Universite de Strasboui France, in 2004. She then studied polymer chemistry under the supervision of Prof. David M. Haddleton at the University of Warwick in England and received her PhD in 2008. Since then, she has b n woridng as a postdoctoral research associate in Professor Wooley s laboratory first at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and now at Texas A iM University, Collie Station, TX. Her research focuses on synthesis, characterization, and assembly of weU-defined block copolymers, functionalization of nanostmctures for imaging, and, more recently, preparation of hybrid inoiganiC -polymer magnetic nanostructures.

Twieg and coworkers, reported preparation of poly(norbomene) copolymers functionalized with nonlinear optical chromophore side groups. Use was made of (ri -toluene)Ni(C6F5)2, catalyst in the polymerization of norbomene. The nickel complex used to polymerize the norbomene monomers is tolerant to many functional groups found in nonlinear optical chromophores. On the other hand, nitriles and amines other than trisubstituted amines strongly inhibit the reaction. A copolymer of hexylnorbomene and a norbomene-functionalized Disperse Red I chromophore was scaled up and studied in detail. Initial studies indicate that electric field poling is effective but that relaxation of polar order in the poly(norbomene) is faster than in a comparable methacrylate copolymer. The copolymer can be illustrated as follows ... 

Achieve controllable PHA synthesis (homopolymers, random and block copolymers, functional polymers) in large scale Microbial processes often produce inconsistent ratios of monomers in PHA copolymers. This significantly affects PHA applications. Technology must be developed to control the PHA micro and macrostructures so that all microbial PHA have consistent structures and properties ... 

Cyanoacrylate pol5uners are also extensively used in the production of encapsulated colloidal nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery systems and are particularly useful in the treatment of certain cancers (64). Their good encapsulation properties, low toxicity, and satisfactory biocompatibility make them attractive for this application. By forming amphiphilic copolymers of cyanoacrylate and ethylene oxide, the therapeutic activity of entrapped compoimds can be enhanced. The copolymer functions to prolong the circulation lifetime of the nanoparticles after they have been introduced into the bloodstream (65). 

Week and Burd [37] also investigated the ability of PNBE-based random and block-copolymers functionalized with two different classes of H-bonding motifs to self-sort. PNBEs containing CA- and THY-functionalized side chains were self-assembled with complementary Hamilton wedge and DAP recognition motifs.
