Multiarm star polymers dynamics
Multiarm star polymers, consisting of a high number of linear homopolymer arms joined covalently to a central core, represent model soft ‘hybrid’ spheres encompassing both polymeric (arm) and colloidal (core) character. Due to this topology, the single star has a nonuniform monomer density distribution. In nondilute solutions, a liquid-like ordering occurs as a consequence of the enhanced osmot...
متن کاملEffect of Confinement on Proton Transport Mechanisms in Block Copolymer/Ionic Liquid Membranes
Nanostructured membranes containing structural and proton-conducting domains are of great interest for a wide range of applications requiring high conductivity coupled to high thermal stability. Understanding the effect of nanodomain confinement on protonconducting properties in such materials is essential for designing new, improved membranes. This relationship has been investigated for a lame...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Proton Conductive Membranes Based on Poly(methyl methacrylate-co-maleic anhydride)
In this study, proton conductive composite membranes were produced by using a poly(methylmethacrylate-co-maleic anhydride) (P(MMA-co-MAH)) copolymer and phosphotungstic Acid (PWA) as an additive of the proton conductive agent. P(MMA/MAH) 70/30, 50/50, and 30/70 were synthesized using a free radical polymerization reaction. PWA with a concentration of 2% was added to...
متن کاملBlock Copolymer Membranes for Efficient Capture of a Chemotherapy Drug
We introduce the use of block copolymer membranes for an emerging application, "drug capture". The polymer is incorporated in a new class of biomedical devices, referred to as ChemoFilter, which is an image-guided temporarily deployable endovascular device designed to increase the efficacy of chemotherapy-based cancer treatment. We show that block copolymer membranes consisting of functional su...
متن کاملWetting of a multiarm star-shaped molecule.
The equilibrium contact angles and line tensions of macroscopic droplets, composed of star-shaped polystyrene (PS) macromolecules, on silicon oxide substrates, are shown to be smaller than their linear analogs, by up to approximately 1 and 2 orders of magnitude, respectively, depending on the size and functionality of the star-shaped molecule. A precursor layer, of lateral dimensions and of thi...
