Spacer-Length-Dependent Association in Polymers with Multiple-Hydrogen-Bonded End Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein, we investigate the influence of spacer length on the homoassociation and heteroassociation of endfunctionalized hydrogen-bonding polymers based on poly(nbutyl acrylate). Two monofunctional ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) end-functionalized polymers were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization using self-complementary UPyfunctional initiators that differ in the spacer length between the multiple-hydrogen-bonding group and the chain initiation site. The self-complementary binding strength (Kdim) of these end-functionalized polymers was shown to depend critically on the spacer length as evident from H NMR and diffusionordered spectroscopy. In addition, the heteroassociation strength of the end-functionalized UPy polymers with endfunctionalized polymers containing the complementary 2,7-diamido-1,8-naphthyridine (NaPy) hydrogen-bond motif is also affected when the aliphatic spacer length is too short.

متن کاملPolymers with Multiple Hydrogen-Bonded End Groups and Their Blends
A new strategy for synthesizing well-defined, chain-end-functionalized polymers containing multiple hydrogen-bonding (MHB) groups capable of heterodimerization in both solution and the melt has been developed. Two complementary MHB systems were chosen for initial studies: 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) and 2,7diamido-1,8-naphthyridine (Napy) and ATRP initiators containing either UPy or Napy ...
متن کاملPhase Behavior of Complementary Multiply Hydrogen Bonded End-Functional Polymer Blends
Blends of diamidonaphthyridine (Napy) end-functional poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PnBA) and ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) end-functional poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PbnMA) were studied as a function of the component molecular weights to compare with prior theoretical predictions. Macroscopic phase separation was observed to be prevented by the reversible association of end-functional polymers to form supr...
متن کاملPolarized luminescence from self-assembled, aligned, and cleaved supramolecules of highly ordered rodlike polymers
A hierarchical self-assembly in comb-shaped supramolecules of conjugated rodlike polymers is reported. The supramolecules consist of poly~2,5-pyridinediyl!, acid dopants, and hydrogen bonded alkyl side chains. A thermotropic smectic state with an exceptionally large coherence length is formed without additional solvent. This allows facile overall alignment resulting in high dichroism and polari...
