FT poly

Liu et al. reported the preparation of two types of shell-cross-linked (SCL) micelles with inverted structures via click chemistry starting from a well-defined schizophrenic water-soluble triblock copolymer in purely aqueous solution. They present an efficient synthesis of two types of SCL micelles with either pH- or temperature-sensitive cores from a novel poly(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethyl methacrylate)-ft-poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-Z -poly(2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) [PME02MA-ft-P(DMA-co-QDMA)- -PDEA] triblock copolymer. First, PMEO2MA- -PDMA- -PDEA was prepared and the DMA blocks were partially converted to a quaternized DMA (QDMA) block with click-cross-linkable moieties to form novel schizophrenic water-soluble triblock copolymers. The pH- or temperature-induced micellization and subsequent shell cross-linking of the P(DMA-co-QDMA) inner shell with the tetra-(ethylene glycol) diazide via click chemistry resulted in nanogel networks (Figure 54.14). 

The second example concerns the multidisciplinary study of the micelliz-ing block copolymer polystyrene-( -poly(2-vinylpyridine)-ft-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-PVP-PEO), which shows a high tendency to aggregation and the formation of micellar clusters [88,89]. It shows the application of SRM for studying the mobility and structural details of different domains in micelle-like polymeric nanoparticles. The fluorescence technique reveals interesting features of studied systems that are hardly accessible by other techniques. Section 3.3 is devoted to the development of the methodology of the solvent relaxation technique for studying nanostructured self-assembling systems. 

To realize the long-term hydrophilicity of the blend polymer membranes, the key point is to improve the stability of the hydrophilic component on the membrane surface and matrix. To this end, amphiphilic polymers have been adopted to replace linear hydrophilic PEG and PVP in membrane preparation. Theoretically, improved interactions among the hydrophobic segments in amphiphilic polymers and the fluoropolymer can improve the compatibility of the blend, and thus enhance the stability of amphiphilic polymer in the membrane matrix. Three kinds of amphiphilic polymers, viz., triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide)-( -poly(propylene oxide)-ft-poly(ethylene oxide) (EPE), comb-like copolymer of polysiloxane with poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) side chains (ACPS), and the hyperbranched star copolymer of polyester-g-methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol) (HPE-g-MPEG), have been...

MMA and DMAPMA poly(MMA-co-DMAPMA) 23, obtained by radical copolymerization, can produce a photografting reaction with acrylonitrile (AN) using BP as the initiator [61]. The formation of a graft copolymer, poly[(MMA -c<7-DMAPMA)- -AN] was confirmed by FT-IR spectrophotometry. Based on ESR studies and end group analysis, the mechanism of grafting reaction is proposed as follows ... 

Aliphatic polyesters are low-melting (40-80°C) semicrystalline polymers or viscous fluids and present inferior mechanical properties. Notable exceptions are poly (a-hydroxy acid)s and poly (ft -hydroxy acid)s.

Blends of enzymatically synthesized poly(bisphenol-A) and poly(p-r-butylphenol) with poly(e-CL) were examined. FT-IR analysis showed the expected strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction between the phenolic polymer with poly(e-CL). A single 7 was observed for the blend, and the value increased as a function of the polymer content, indicating their good miscibility in the amorphous state. In the blend of enzymatically synthesized poly(4,4 -oxybisphenol) with poly(e-CL), both polymers were miscible in the amorphous phase also. The crystallinity of poly(e-CL) decreased by poly(4,4 -oxybisphenol). 

Solla-Gullon et al. [Ill] carried out FT-IRs experiments of adsorbed CO for PdPt nanoparticles prepared by reduction of H2PtCl6 and K2PdCl4 with hydrazine in a w/o microemulsion of water/poly(ethyleneglycol) dodecyl ether (BRIJ(R)30)/ -heptane. The experiments gave information on the relative amount of linear- and bridge-bonded CO, which is known to depend on the surface distribution of the two elements. 

Many common polymers, polymeric additives and lubricants oxidise so rapidly after impact in liquid oxygen that they are hazardous. Of those tested, only acrylonitrile-butadiene, poly(cyanoethylsiloxane), poly(dimethylsiloxane) and polystyrene exploded after impact of 6.8-95 J intensity (5-70 ft.lbf). All plasticisers (except dibutyl sebacate) and antioxidants examined were very reactive. A theoretical treatment of rates of energy absorption and transfer is included [1], Previously, many resins and lubricants had been examined similarly, and 35 were found acceptable in liquid oxygen systems [2],...

Philippova and Starodubtzev have also extensively studied the complex-ation behavior of polyacids and PEG, especially, the system of crosslinked of poly(methacrylic acid) and linear poly(ethylene glycol) (Philippova and Starodubtzev, 1995 Philippova et al., 1994). They observed that decreasing the molecular weight of PEG from 6000 to 1500 resulted in its slower diffusion into the swollen network of PMAA, and a drastic decrease in both the stability and equilibrium composition of the intermacromolecular complex. Analysis of dried polymer networks of PMAA with absorbed PEG chains by FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of two types of hydrogen bonded structures (1) dimers of methacrylic acid at absorption frequency of 1700 cm-1 and (2) interpolymer complexes of PMAA and PEG at 1733 cm-1. In addition, they also suggested as a result of their studies, that the hydrogen bonded dimer of PMAA forms preferentially to the intermacromolecular complex between the PMAA network and PEG chains. 

ARGET ATRP has been successfully applied for polymerization of methyl methacrylate, ft-butyl acrylate and styrene in the presence of Sn(EH)2 (10 mol% vs. alkyl halide initiator or 0.07 mol% vs. monomer) [164,165]. For all monomers, polymerizations were well controlled using between 10 and 50 ppm of copper complexes with highly active TPMA and Me6TREN ligands. ARGET ATRP has also been utilized in the synthesis of block copolymers (poly(n-butyl acrylate)— -polystyrene and polystyrene-Z -poly(n-butyl acrylate) [164,165] and grafting... 

The chemical structures of these polymers were characterized using FT-IR. Poly(1,3-phenylene isophthalamide) (PMI) and poly (2,4-difluoro-l,5-phenylene isophthalamide) (2,4-DIF-PMI) shoved N-H stretching bands at 3400-3200 cm l and C==0 stretching bands(amide I) at 1630-1650 cm-. Poly(2,4-difluoro-1,3-phenylene trimellitic amide-imide) (2,4-DIF-PMTAI) showed additional bands at 1740 and 1796 cm l corresponding to imide C==0 stretching band at 1625 cif and C-0-C stretching bands at 1255 and 1050 cm l.

The thermal stability of PNT from different polymerization methods is presented in Table 18.7. ft appears that the colored (dark brown) but transparent PNT -N film synthesized by VDP is the cleanest film among the polynaphthalenes from other polymerization processes that have been reported. These PNT-N films from VDP also have very low dielectric constants in comparison to poly(tetra-fluoro-p-xylylene) films. PNT-N and PNT-F films have higher dissociation temperatures (>570°C) and better thermal stability (>530°C), and no film cracking was observed until PNT-F was annealed at 600°C in nitrogen. Table 18.8 presents a summary of the different properties ofPNT-N and PNT-F prepared by the VDP process.
