Self-organization of stack-up block copolymers into polymeric supramolecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyethylene oxide –b– polypropylene oxide -bpolyethylene oxide (EO106PO70EO106) block copolymer self-organizes into polymeric supramolecules, characterized by NMR as phase transition from the isotropic stack-up block structure to the ordered cubic polymeric supramolecular structure. Its dependence on both temperature and copolymer concentration is clearly shown by the changes in line shape and chemical shift of the PO70 block b, c resonances.

Self-Organization on Multiple Length Scales in "Hairy Rod"-Coil Block Copolymer Supramolecular Complexes
The last two decades have seen an explosion of research activity in the area of self-assembled polymeric and supramolecular materials. Self-assembly schemes rely on an often delicate balance between competing repulsive and attractive forces between structural elements. In traditional coil-coil block copolymers, microphase separated structures are dictated by the balance of immiscibility between...

In the recent years, the study of block copolymers has received special attention from polymer scientists, as it has proved to be of a great importance in a variety of fields like life-sciences, tissue engineering, drug delivery, and nanotechnology and material sciences. This has led to a thorough investigation of the “hierarchy of the block copolymer morphology” i.e. the microscopic level chan...

We demonstrate that complexation of dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid, DBSA, to a diblock copolymer of polystyrene- block-poly(4-vinylpyridine), PS- block-P4VP, leads to polymeric supramolecules PS- block-P4VP(DBSA)y (y = 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0), which self-organize with a particularly large lamellar periodicity in excess of 1000 A. The structures consist of alternating PS and P4VP(DBSA)y layers, where t...

BACKGROUND: Self-assembling amphiphilic block copolymers with incorporated, biologically relevant functionalities have received limited attention, partly due to the fact that biomolecules are not robust enough to synthetic manipulation, do not lend themselves readily to systematic studies due to their complexity and leach rather quickly from a vesicle or membrane when physically incorporated. S...

The self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) into a nanostructure with novel morphology and property has attracted an increasing interest as a new approach for materials science, chemical synthesis, and nanofabrication [1,2]. Recently, rod-coil block copolymers have received a great deal of attention since they offer an attractive strategy for the organization of many highly functional rod-like...
