Synthesis of a Regioregular Series of Poly(aryl ether carbonates) and Their Glass Transition Temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC) is a remarkable high-performance engineering polymer, although it is susceptible to photo-Fries and hydrolytic degradation. New poly(aryl ether carbonates) were synthesized to address these limitations by replacing the chain backbone carbonate ester functionality with aryl ether functionality. The monomers for these new polymers were synthesized by a variation of the Ullmann condensation accelerated by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione and promoted by Cs2CO3 and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone under mild conditions. Four such bisphenol A-based diarylether monomers containing different mass ratios of carbonate ester groups were prepared and polymerized with phosgene gas to give novel poly(aryl ether carbonates). Polymers were named as di-o-BPA-PC 9', tri-o-BPA-PC 11', tetra-o-BPA-PC 13', and penta-o-BPA-PC 15' where di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta- reflect the number of diphenylisopropylidene units in each of the respective polymers. The molecular weights of the resulting four poly(aryl ether carbonates) were measured by gel permeation chromatography. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure glass transition temperature (T g). The polymers exhibited weight-average molecular weights up to 4.09 × 105 g/mol and T g in the range of 136 to 149 °C with no melting temperature peak, indicative of their amorphous character. The new polymers formed transparent and flexible films by solution casting from chloroform solution.

Synthesis and Characterization of Block Copolymers of Poly(silylene diethynylbenzen) and Poly(silylene dipropargyl aryl ether).

Project description:Poly(silylene diethynylbenzene)-b-poly(silylene dipropargyloxy diphenyl propane) copolymer (ABA-A), poly(silylene diethynylbenzene)-b-poly(silylene dipropargyloxy diphenyl ether) copolymer (ABA-O), and a contrast poly(silylene diethynylbenzene) with equivalent polymerization degree were synthesized through Grignard reactions. The structures and properties of the copolymers were investigated via hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Haake torque rheometer, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and mechanical tests. The results show that the block copolymers possess comprehensive properties, especially good processability and good mechanical properties. The processing windows of these copolymers are wider than 58 °C. The flexural strength of the cured ABA-A copolymer reaches as high as 40.2 MPa. The degradation temperatures at 5% weight loss (Td5) of the cured copolymers in nitrogen are all above 560 °C.

Predicting glass transition temperatures of polyarylethersulphones using QSPR methods.

Project description:The technique of Quantitative Structure Property Relationships has been applied to the glass transition temperatures of polyarylethersulphones. A general equation is reported that calculates the glass transition temperatures with acceptable accuracy (correlation coefficients of between 90-67%, indicating an error of 10-30% with regard to experimentally determined values) for a series of 42 reported polyarylethersulphones. This method is quite simple in assumption and relies on a relatively small number of parameters associated with the structural unit of the polymer: the number of rotatable bonds, the dipole moment, the heat of formation, the HOMO eigenvalue, the molar mass and molar volume. For smaller subsets of the main group (based on families of derivatives containing different substituents) the model can be simplified further to an equation that uses the volume of the substituents as the principal variable.

Glass Transition Behaviors of Poly (Vinyl Pyridine)/Poly (Vinyl Phenol) Revisited.

Project description:We examined the composition and molecular weight dependence of the glass transition temperature in detail for two types of hydrogen bonding miscible blends: poly (2-vinyl pyridine)/poly (vinyl phenol) (2VPy/VPh) and poly (4-vinyl pyridine)/poly (vinyl phenol) (4VPy/VPh). Regarding the functional form of the glass transition temperature, Tg, as a function of the weight fraction, we found a weak deviation from the Kwei equation for 2VPy/VPh blends. In contrast, such a deviation was not observed for the 4VPy/VPh blend. By relating the difference in the functional forms of Tg between the two blend systems to the difference in hydrogen bonding ability, we proposed a modified version of the Kwei equation. As for the interaction parameter, q in the Kwei equation, clear molecular weight dependence was observed for 2VPy/VPh blends: the lower the VPh molecular weight in the oligomer level, the higher the q values, suggesting the higher hydrogen bonding formability near the polymer chain ends than the middle part of a polymer chain.

Programmed surface on poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone) initiating immune mediation and fulfilling bone regeneration sequentially.

Project description:The immune responses are involved in every stage after implantation but the reported immune-regulated materials only work at the beginning without fully considering the different phases of bone healing. Here, poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) is coated with a programmed surface, which rapidly releases interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the first week and slowly delivers dexamethasone (DEX) up to 4 weeks. Owing to the synergistic effects of IL-10 and DEX, an aptly weak inflammation is triggered within the first week, followed by significant M2 polarization of macrophages and upregulation of the autophagy-related factors. The suitable immunomodulatory activities pave the way for osteogenesis and the steady release of DEX facilitates bone regeneration thereafter. The sequential immune-mediated process is also validated by an 8-week implementation on a rat model. This is the first attempt to construct implants by taking advantage of both immune-mediated modulation and sequential regulation spanning all bone regeneration phases, which provides insights into the fabrication of advanced biomaterials for tissue engineering and immunological therapeutics.

Unraveling substituent effects on the glass transition temperatures of biorenewable polyesters.

Project description:Converting biomass-based feedstocks into polymers not only reduces our reliance on fossil fuels, but also furnishes multiple opportunities to design biorenewable polymers with targeted properties and functionalities. Here we report a series of high glass transition temperature (Tg up to 184 °C) polyesters derived from sugar-based furan derivatives as well as a joint experimental and theoretical study of substituent effects on their thermal properties. Surprisingly, we find that polymers with moderate steric hindrance exhibit the highest Tg values. Through a detailed Ramachandran-type analysis of the rotational flexibility of the polymer backbone, we find that additional steric hindrance does not necessarily increase chain stiffness in these polyesters. We attribute this interesting structure-property relationship to a complex interplay between methyl-induced steric strain and the concerted rotations along the polymer backbone. We believe that our findings provide key insight into the relationship between structure and thermal properties across a range of synthetic polymers.

Synthesis of novel cross-linked s-triazine-containing poly(aryl ether)s nanoparticles for biological fluorescent labeling.

Project description:A blue-fluorescence 2,4,6-tris(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TFPT) monomer was synthesized with high yield and high purity under mild reaction conditions. The TFPT, which had three active fluoric groups, was facilely incorporated into stable cross-linked fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles (FCPNs) via precipitation polymerization with 6-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-one (HPZ). The FCPNs were highly dispersible in water and showed uniform size, intense blue fluorescence, and excellent biocompatibility, making them promising for live cell imaging label applications. This work has the potential to promote the exploitation of novel s-triazine monomers, and to provide a new view of functional crossing-linked polymers based on such monomers.

Synthesis of side-chain regioregular and main-chain alternating poly(bichalcogenophene)s and an ABC-type periodic poly(terchalcogenophene).

Project description:Three unsymmetrical diiodobichalcogenophenes SSeI2, STeI2, and SeTeI2 and a diiodoterchalcogenophene SSeTeI2 were prepared. Grignard metathesis of SSeI2, STeI2, SeTeI2, and SSeTeI2 occurred regioselectively at the lighter chalcogenophene site because of its relatively lower electron density and less steric bulk. Nickel-catalyzed Kumada catalyst-transfer polycondensation of these Mg species provided a new class of side-chain regioregular and main-chain AB-type alternating poly(bichalcogenophene)s-PSSe, PSTe, and PSeTe-through a chain-growth mechanism. The ring-walking of the Ni catalyst from the lighter to the heavier chalcogenophene facilitated subsequent oxidative addition, thereby suppressing the possibility of chain-transfer or chain-termination. More significantly, the Ni catalyst could walk over the distance of three rings (ca. 1 nm)-from a thiophene unit via a selenophene unit to a tellurophene unit-to form PSSeTe, the first ABC-type regioregular and periodic poly(terchalcogenophene) comprising three different types of 3-hexylchalcogenophenes.

Organocatalyzed synthesis of fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers).

Project description:The preparation of high-performance fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers) has received little attention compared to the corresponding poly(aryl ethers), despite the excellent physical properties displayed by many polysulfides. Herein, we report a highly efficient route to fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers) via an organocatalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution of silyl-protected dithiols. This approach requires low catalyst loadings, proceeds rapidly at room temperature, and is effective for many different perfluorinated or highly activated aryl monomers. Computational investigations of the reaction mechanism reveal an unexpected, concerted SNAr mechanism, with the organocatalyst playing a critical, dual-activation role in facilitating the process. Not only does this remarkable reactivity enable rapid access to fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers), but also opens new avenues for the processing, fabrication, and functionalization of fluorinated materials with easy removal of the volatile catalyst and TMSF byproducts.Fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers), unlike their poly(aryl ethers) counterparts, have received little attention despite excellent physical properties displayed by many polysulfides. Here the authors show a highly efficient route to fluorinated poly(aryl thioethers) via an organocatalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution of silyl-protected dithiols.

Synthesis, Phase-Transition Behaviour, and Oil Adsorption Performance of Porous Poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) Alkyl Ether Acrylate) Gels.

Project description:To probe the effects of pendant side-chain structures on the properties of porous thermoresponsive polymer gels, oligo(ethylene glycol) alkyl ether acrylates were polymerised in an aqueous medium under radical-mediated phase-separation conditions. The monomer structures varied according to the lengths and termini of their ethylene glycol side chains. The porous poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) alkyl ether acrylate) (POEGA) gels exhibited variable lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) but similar and rapid swelling-deswelling behaviours. Although the LCST of the poly(tri(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether acrylate) (PTEGA) gel decreased with increasing aqueous NaCl or CaCl2 concentration, PTEGA showed excellent thermosensitivity in highly concentrated salt solutions, recommending its application in saline environments. Examination of PTEGA adsorption performance in an oil-water emulsion showed that n-tridecane adsorption increased with temperature. Although n-tridecane was effectively adsorbed at 70 °C, its release from the fully adsorbed PTEGA gel was difficult despite a temperature reduction from 70 to 20 °C.

Synthesis of Nonisocyanate Poly(hydroxy)urethanes from Bis(cyclic carbonates) and Polyamines.

Project description:Nonisocyanate polyurethane materials with pending alcohol groups in the polymeric chain were synthesized by polyaddition reaction of bis(cyclic carbonates) onto diamines. For the platform molecule, 1,4-butanediol bis(glycidyl ether carbonate) (BGBC, 1) was used. The polyaddition reaction of 1 onto a wide range of diamines with different electronic and physical properties was explored. All PHUs were obtained quantitatively after 16 h at 80 °C temperature in MeCN as solvent. The low nucleophilicity of L-lysine has proven unable to ring-open the cyclic carbonate and, thus, no reaction occurred. The addition of DBU or TBD as the catalyst was tested and allows the obtention of the desired PHU. However, the presence of strong bases also led to the formation of polyurea fragments in the new PHU. The different poly(hydroxyurethane) materials were characterized using a wide range of spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, MALDI-ToF, and using GPC studies. The thermal properties of the NIPUs were investigated by DSC and TGA analyses. Moreover, reactions employing different monomer ratios were performed, obtaining novel hydroxycarbamate compounds. Finally, sequential and one-pot experiments were also carried out to synthesize the PHUs polymers in one-step reaction.
