چکیده
Tetramerization of coil-rod-coil ABC triblock copolymers to a tetrabranched molecule induces an unusual 3-D tetragonally perforated layered liquid crystalline phase as an intermediate structure between 1-D lamellar and 2-D hexagonal columnar phases.

Construction of Supramolecular Nanostructures from V-Shaped Amphiphilic Rod-Coil Molecules Incorporating Phenazine Units
A series of bent-shaped molecules, consisting of dibenzo[a,c]phenazine and phenyl groups connected together as a rod segment, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 6 as the coil segment, were synthesized. The self-assembling behavior of these molecules by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal optical polarized microscopy (POM), small-angle X-ray scatt...

In this paper, we report the synthesis and self-assembly behavior of coil-rod-coil molecules, consisting of three biphenyls linked through a vinylene unit as a conjugated rod segment and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 7, 12 and 17, incorporating lateral methyl groups between the rod and coil segments as the coil segment. Self-organized investigation of these ...
متن کاملPhase behavior of symmetric disk-coil molecules.
We investigate the self-assembly of symmetric disk-coil molecules using Monte Carlo simulations in the NPT ensemble. Our molecules are composed of a planar disk (head) that is covalently bonded to a single coil (tail), and can be regarded as disk-coil copolymers. For this system, we observe a variety of phases depending on the temperature and the effective interactions between the disk and coil...
متن کامل493h Self-Assembly of Polymer-Tethered Nanorods
Mark A. Horsch, Zhenli Zhang, and Sharon C. Glotzer The need to organize nanoparticles into complex structures for applications ranging from electronics to solar energy utilization has focused increasing attention on the method of self assembly, whereby material building blocks self-organize into patterns based on thermodynamic principles. We performed molecular simulations to predict the phase...
متن کاملControl of supramolecular nanoassemblies by tuning the interactions of bent-shaped rod-coil molecules.
Rod-coil molecules 1a, 1b and 2a, 2b, consisting of biphenyl and phenyl units connected by an acetylene bond as the rod segment and oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) as the coil segment, were synthesized and characterized. Molecules 1a and 1b incorporate a butoxy group at the apex of their bent-shaped rigid building blocks, while both 1b and 2b contain a lateral methyl group between the rod and coil...
