Superhydrophobic electrospun POSS-PMMA copolymer fibres with highly ordered nanofibrillar and surface structures.

چکیده
A POSS-PMMA copolymer has been synthesised by conventional free-radical polymerisation reaction. Uniform electrospun fibres from this copolymer showed a water contact angle as high as 165 degrees with a sliding angle as low as 6 degrees . For the first time, we found that the electrospun fibres had a bundled nanofibril secondary structure with an ordered POSS morphology on the fibre surface.

Electrospun aggregation-induced emission active POSS-based porous copolymer films for detection of explosives.
Electrospun aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-based copolymer films exhibit an approximately 9-fold increase in response to explosive vapors compared to dense films although porous copolymer films have a thickness as high as 560 ± 60 nm.
متن کاملFabricating Superhydrophobic Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications.
Superhydrophobic materials, with surfaces possessing permanent or metastable non-wetted states, are of interest for a number of biomedical and industrial applications. Here we describe how electrospinning or electrospraying a polymer mixture containing a biodegradable, biocompatible aliphatic polyester (e.g., polycaprolactone and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)), as the major component, doped with a...
متن کاملDefect-free nanoporous thin films from ABC triblock copolymers.
The self-assembly of triblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide-b-methyl methacrylate-b-styrene) (PEO-b-PMMA-b-PS), where PS is the major component and PMMA and PEO are minor components, provides a robust route to highly ordered, nanoporous arrays with cylindrical pores of 10-15 nm that show promise in block copolymer lithography. These ABC triblock copolymers were synthesized by controlled liv...
متن کاملPreparation of a novel superhydrophobic PMMA surface with nanostructure and its blood compatibility
Superhydrophobic poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) surface with nanostructure was prepared effectively via phase separation and selective solvent method. It is proposed that the cooperation of the nanostructure of PMMA surface and the surface group reorientation leads to the superhydrophobicity of PMMA surface. The superhydrophobic PMMA surface with nanostructure was characterized by scanning ele...
متن کاملSuperhydrophobic surfaces by electrospinning of polymer mixtures
Hydrophobic surfaces have found great interest in environment resist coating, antifouling marine structures and low friction devices whereas superhydrophobic materials, with contact angle higher than 150° [1], are of special interest in self-cleaning surfaces and stain resistant textiles. (Super)hydrophobicity is a key property that depends on both the surface chemistry and surface roughness. N...
