Synthesis and Assembly Behavior of Heteronucleobase-Functionalized Poly(-caprolactone)

چکیده
The heteronucleobase (adenine and uracil)-functionalized poly(ε-caprolactone) (A-PCL-U) possessing supramolecular structure has been successfully synthesized through the combination of ringopening polymerization and Michael addition reaction. Attachment of multiple hydrogen-bonding units to chain ends of PCL results in phase separation and substantial increase in the viscosity. The association constant (Ka) between adenine and uracil groups of A-PCL-U calculated from NMR measurement is 18.9M. XRD andDSC analyses indicate that the crystalline structure of the A-PCL-U is changed to some extent due to phase segregation as compared to the PCL homopolymer. The AFMmicrograph demonstrates that phase segregation is formed from the hard nucleobase chain ends and the soft poly(ε-caprolactone) chains of the supramolecular complex.

Different succinic anhydrides were used for modification of hydrophobicities of linear and star-shaped poly (e-caprolactone) oligomers with different molecular weights. Hydroxylterminated poly(e-caprolactone) oligomers were acid-functionalized either with succinic anhydride (SAH) or with alkenylsuccinic anhydrides (ASAs) containing 8 or 18 carbons in their alkenyl chains. Hydrophobicities of th...
