Role of Solvent Water in the Temperature-Induced Self-Assembly of a Triblock Copolymer.
Water-soluble triblock copolymers have received much attention in industrial applications and scientific fields. We here show that femtosecond mid-IR pump-probe spectroscopy is useful to study the role of water in the temperature-induced self-assembly of triblock copolymers. Our experimental results suggest two distinct subpopulations of water molecules: those that interact with other water mol...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of an ultra-high-molecular-weight comb block copolymer at the air–water interface
The self-assembly of a newly synthesized, amphiphilic comb block copolymer (CBCP) at the air–water interface was systematically explored using the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique. The CBCP had an ultra-high molecular weight (Mw 1⁄4 510 10 g mol ) with polystyrene arms grafted along one block of long hydrophilic backbone. At the air–water interface, the CBCP molecules spontaneously assembled in...
متن کاملPolystyrene-Polylactide Bottlebrush Block Copolymer at the Air/Water Interface
Hydrophobic ultrahigh molecular weight bottlebrush block copolymer and linear block copolymer of polystyrene-polylactide (PS-PLA) were shown to be capable of forming Langmuir monolayers and exhibiting unique assembly behaviors at the air/water interface, which cannot be addressed by the classic theory of Langmuir monolayer of amphiphilic copolymers. New models were proposed to illustrate these ...
متن کاملGiant tubular and toroidal vesicles from self-assembled triblock copolymer-polyaniline complexes in water.
An ABA type amphiphilic triblock copolymer was synthesized via ATRP and sulfonation. New self-assembled morphologies such as toroidal vesicles, giant tubular vesicles, and perforated spherical vesicles were observed from triblock copolymer-polyaniline complexes in water. The mechanism of morphology transformation at different compositions was discussed.
متن کاملComputer simulations of block copolymer tethered nanoparticle self-assembly.
We perform molecular simulations to study the self-assembly of block copolymer tethered cubic nanoparticles. Minimal models of the tethered nanoscale building blocks (NBBs) are utilized to explore the structures arising from self-assembly. We demonstrate that attaching a rigid nanocube to a diblock copolymer affects the typical equilibrium morphologies exhibited by the pure copolymer. Lamellar ...
