Nanoconfinement crystallization of frustrated alkyl groups: crossover of mesophase to crystalline structure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crossover of mesophase to crystalline structure in the nanoconfinement crystallization process of frustrated side groups elucidates the critical crystal thickness d(c) or the length scale of side groups, which defines the transition process from mesophase (hexagonal and monoclinic phase) to crystalline phase (orthorhombic phase) of confined CH(2) sequences in a given crystal size restriction.

Nanoconfinement crystallization of frustrated alkyl groups: crossover of mesophase to crystalline structurew
Nanoconfined crystallization and phase transition are currently attracting much interest as aspects of polymer crystallization, which provide an approach for understanding the formation mechanism of a hierarchy of ordered structure and the transient mesophase in the confined conditions, typically in the length scale of B10 nm. Characteristic of nanoscopic confined crystallization is the reorgan...
متن کاملEffects of alkyl chain length and anion size on thermal and structural properties for 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorocomplex salts (C(x)MImAF6, x = 14, 16 and 18; A = P, As, Sb, Nb and Ta).
A series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorocomplex salts (C(x)MImAF(6), x = 14, 16 and 18, A = P, As, Sb, Nb and Ta) have been characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy. A liquid crystalline mesophase is observed for all the C(16)MIm and C(18)MIm salts. The C(14)MIm(+) cation gives a liquid crystalline mesophase only with PF(6)(-). The temperat...
متن کاملThermotropic Liquid Crystalline Behavior of an Amphiphilic Polymer Lacking Mesogens
The thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior of a new kind of amphiphilic polymer without mesogens is reported. The existence and structure for the polymeric mesophase are confirmed and characterized by DSC, X-ray diffraction, optical polarized microscopy, and temperature-dependent FTIR. Due to strong interactions between pendent long alkyl chains, we conclude that some hydrophobic semirigid ro...
متن کاملA Systematic Study on the Mesomorphic Behavior of Asymmetrical 1-Alkyl-3-dodecylimidazolium Bromides
To determine the essential parameters for mesophase formation in imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs), a library of 1-alkyl-3-dodecylimidazolium bromides was synthesized, abbreviated as CnC12, where 0 ≤ n ≤ 13, as the general notion is that a dodecyl side chain would guarantee the formation of an ionic liquid crystal (ILC). All salts were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectr...
متن کاملTuning the crystalline and mesophase structure of olefin block copolymer through self-nucleation and annealing treatments.
As a type of novel semi-crystalline block copolymers, the final properties of olefin block copolymers (OBCs) greatly depend on the crystalline and phase-separated structures. In the present work, we systematically investigated the influence of self-nucleation and annealing on the lamellar and mesophase-separated structure of OBCs. According to the crystalline and melting behavior after self-nuc...
