Tailored Composite Polymer-Metal Nanoparticles by Miniemulsion Polymerization and Thiol-ene Functionalization.

ABSTRACT: A simple and modular synthetic approach, based on miniemulsion polymerization, has been developed for the fabrication of composite polymer-metal nanoparticle materials. The procedure produces well-defined composite structures consisting of gold, silver or MnFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles (?10 nm in diameter) encapsulated within larger spherical nanoparticles of poly(divinylbenzene) (?100 nm in diameter). This methodology readily permits the incorporation of multiple metal domains into a single polymeric particle, while still preserving the useful optical and magnetic properties of the metal nanoparticles. The morphology of the composite particles is retained upon increasing the inorganic content, and also upon redispersion in organic solvents. Finally, the ability to tailor the surface chemistry of the composite nanoparticles and incorporate steric stabilizing groups using simple thiol-ene chemistry is demonstrated.

Encapsulated Dye/Polymer Nanoparticles Prepared via Miniemulsion Polymerization for Inkjet Printing.

Project description:Owing to its simple operation and minimal generation of pollutants, miniemulsion polymerization has attracted increasing interest in the field of inkjet printing. In this study, different dyes were encapsulated with styrene-co-butyl acrylate copolymers via miniemulsion polymerization. The encapsulated dye/polymer nanoparticles were spherical with an apparent shell-core structure, narrow size distributions, and good thermal stability. These nanoparticles were used as miniemulsion inks that could remain unchanged with good photostability for a long time. The miniemulsion ink was successfully applied to inkjet printing on paper with bright colors and good fluency, and the dyeing of cotton fabrics indicated that these nanoparticles possessed good rubbing and washing fastness. All of these results suggest that the miniemulsion ink is a potential substitute for inks based on traditional dyes in inkjet printing.

Core functionalization of semi-crystalline polymeric cylindrical nanoparticles using photo-initiated thiol-ene radical reactions.

Project description:Sequential ring-opening and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was used to form a triblock copolymer of tetrahydropyran acrylate (THPA), 5-methyl-5-allyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MAC) and l-lactide. Concurrent deprotection of the THPA block and crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) was undertaken and allowed for the formation of cylindrical micelles bearing allyl handles in a short outer core segment. These handles were further functionalized by different thiols using photo-initiated thiol-ene radical reactions to demonstrate that the incorporation of an amorphous PMAC block within the core does not disrupt CDSA and can be used to load the cylindrical nanoparticles with cargo.

Oxygen-Mediated Enzymatic Polymerization of Thiol-Ene Hydrogels.

Project description:Materials that solidify in response to an initiation stimulus are currently utilized in several biomedical and surgical applications; however, their clinical adoption would be more widespread with improved physical properties and biocompatibility. One chemistry that is particularly promising is based on the thiol-ene addition reaction, a radical-mediated step-growth polymerization that is resistant to oxygen inhibition and thus is an excellent candidate for materials that polymerize upon exposure to aerobic conditions. Here, thiol-ene-based hydrogels are polymerized by exposing aqueous solutions of multi-functional thiol and allyl ether PEG monomers, in combination with enzymatic radical initiating systems, to air. An initiating system based on glucose oxidase, glucose, and Fe2+ is initially investigated where, in the presence of glucose, the glucose oxidase reduces oxygen to hydrogen peroxide which is then further reduced by Fe2+ to yield hydroxyl radicals capable of initiating thiol-ene polymerization. While this system is shown to effectively initiate polymerization after exposure to oxygen, the polymerization rate does not monotonically increase with raised Fe2+ concentration owing to inhibitory reactions that retard polymerization at higher Fe2+ concentrations. Conversely, replacing the Fe2+ with horseradish peroxidase affords an initiating system is that is not subject to the iron-mediated inhibitory reactions and enables increased polymerization rates to be attained.

Interface Interactions in Conjugated Polymer Composite with Metal Oxide Nanoparticles.

Project description:This study presents the preparation, characterization, and properties of a new composite containing cerium oxide nanoparticles and a conjugated polymer. CeO2 nanoparticles prepared using the co-precipitation method were dispersed into the conjugated polymer, prepared using the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The interface interactions between the two components and the resultant optoelectronic properties of the composite are demonstrated. According to transmission electron microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the dispersion of CeO2 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix strongly depends on the CeO2 nanoparticle concentration and results in different degrees of charge transfer. The photo-induced charge transfer and recombination processes were studied using steady-state optical spectroscopy, which shows a significant fluorescence quenching and red shifting in the composite. The higher photo-activity of the composite as compared to the single components was observed and explained. Unexpected room temperature ferromagnetism was observed in both components and all composites, of which the origin was attributed to the topology and defects.

Ester-free thiol-ene dental restoratives--Part B: Composite development.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the performance of thiol-ene dental composites based on selected ester-free thiol-ene formulations. Further, to point out the benefits/drawback of having a hydrolytically stable thiol-ene matrix within a glass filled composite.MethodsComposite samples containing 50-65wt% of functionalized glass microparticles were prepared and photopolymerized in the presence of a suitable visible light photoinitiator. Shrinkage stress measurements were conducted as a function of the irradiation time. Degrees of conversion were measured by FT-IR analysis by comparing the double bond signals before and after photopolymerization. Mechanical tests were carried out on specimens after curing as well as after extended aging in water. Dynamic mechanical analysis was employed to track the changes in storage modulus near body temperature. The properties of the thiol-ene composites were compared with those of the BisGMA/TEGDMA control.ResultsDepending on the resin type, similar or higher conversions were achieved in thiol-ene composites when compared to the dimethacrylate controls. At comparable conversions, lower shrinkage stress values were achieved. Although exhibiting lower initial elastic moduli, the thiol-ene composites' flexural strengths were found to be comparable with the controls. Contrary to the control, the mechanical properties of the ester-free thiol-ene composites were shown to be unaffected by extensive aging in water and at least equaled that of the control after aging in water for just five weeks.SignificanceEmploying non-degradable step-growth networks as organic matrices in dental composites will provide structurally uniform, tough materials with extended service time.

Hydrophobic Coatings by Thiol-Ene Click Functionalization of Silsesquioxanes with Tunable Architecture.

Project description:The hydrolysis-condensation of trialkoxysilanes under strictly controlled conditions allows the production of silsesquioxanes (SSQs) with tunable size and architecture ranging from ladder to cage-like structures. These nano-objects can serve as building blocks for the preparation of hybrid organic/inorganic materials with selected properties. The SSQs growth can be tuned by simply controlling the reaction duration in the in situ water production route (ISWP), where the kinetics of the esterification reaction between carboxylic acids and alcohols rules out the extent of organosilane hydrolysis-condensation. Tunable SSQs with thiol functionalities (SH-NBBs) are suitable for further modification by exploiting the simple thiol-ene click reaction, thus allowing for modifying the wettability properties of derived coatings. In this paper, coatings were prepared from SH-NBBs with different architecture onto cotton fabrics and paper, and further functionalized with long alkyl chains by means of initiator-free UV-induced thiol-ene coupling with 1-decene (C10) and 1-tetradecene (C14). The coatings appeared to homogeneously cover the natural fibers and imparted a multi-scale roughness that was not affected by the click functionalization step. The two-step functionalization of cotton and paper warrants a stable highly hydrophobic character to the surface of natural materials that, in perspective, suggests a possible application in filtration devices for oil-water separation. Furthermore, the purification of SH-NBBs from ISWP by-products was possible during the coating process, and this step allowed for the fast, initiator-free, click-coupling of purified NBBs with C10 and C14 in solution with a nearly quantitative yield. Therefore, this approach is an alternative route to get sol-gel-derived, ladder-like, and cage-like SSQs functionalized with long alkyl chains.

Surface Chemical Functionalization of Wrinkled Thiol-ene Elastomers for Promoting Cellular Alignment.

Project description:Wrinkled polymer surfaces find broad applicability; however, the polymer substrates are often limited to poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), which limits spatial control over wrinkle features and surface chemistry. An approach to surface functionalization of wrinkled elastomer substrates is demonstrated through versatile, multistep thiol-ene click chemistry. The elastomer is formed using a thiol-Michael reaction of tetrathiol with excess diacrylates while wrinkle formation is induced through a second free radical UV polymerization of the acrylates on the surface of the elastomer. Due to oxygen inhibition of the free radical polymerization, pendant acrylates at the surface remain unreacted and are subsequently functionalized with a multi-functional thiol, which can be further reacted through a number of thiol-X 'click' reactions. As a demonstration, these thiol surfaces are further modified to either promote cell adhesion of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) through coupling with RGDS-containing peptides or surface passivation through reaction with hydrophilic hydroxyl ethyl acrylate moieties. Through engineering a combination of surface chemistry and surface topography, hMSCs exhibited increased spreading and cell density on RGDS-functionalized surfaces and a two-fold increase in cell alignment when cultured on wrinkled substrates. Gradient functionalized surfaces created by tuning the wrinkle wavelength with UV irradiation enabled rapid screening of the effect of topography on the hMSCs. Further, this novel application of click chemistry enables simultaneous tuning of wrinkle topology and surface chemistry towards targeted material applications.

Functionalization of Metal Surface via Thiol-Ene Click Chemistry: Synthesis, Adsorption Behavior, and Postfunctionalization of a Catechol- and Allyl-Containing Copolymer.

Project description:Surface functionalization tailors the interfacial properties without impacts on the mechanical strength, which is beneficial for industry and daily applications of various metallic materials. Herein, a two-step surface functionalization strategy, (1) catechol-mediated immobilization of clickable agent and (2) postfunctionalization based on thiol-ene click reaction, is achieved using a copolymer, namely poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethylundec-10-enoate]-co-(N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl) methacrylamide) [P(MEUE-co-DPMAm)]. To reduce the potential side reactions of allylic double bonds in allyl methacrylate during the polymerization, the MEUE are designed and synthesized with better control over the polymer chain growth. The surface functionalization via the two-step method is demonstrated using various thiols, e.g., hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and polymeric thiols under room conditions. Additionally, the hydrophobic-thiol-functionalized anodic aluminum oxide is found to be a candidate for the oil/water separation with a separation efficiency of ?99.2%. This surface modifier provides practical insights into the further design of functional materials.
