Chain flexibility and glass transition temperatures of poly(n-alkyl (meth)acrylate)s: Implications of tacticity and chain dynamics

The relationship between chain microstructure and glass transition temperature (T g ) is complicated for poly(alkyl methacrylate)s and poly(alkyl acrylate)s. Despite intensive studies, relationships between the structures of these polymers and their properties, including solution characteristics and T g , are still controversial. Solution properties, chain conformations, including Flory's characteristic ratio (C ∞ ), persistence length (l p ), and chain diameters, and T g are reported for series of poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s and poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s having alkyl side chain lengths (n) ranging from 1 to 10 carbons in length, with uniform and well-characterized tacticities. Chain flexibilities of both series of polymers decrease as n increases, reflecting increased hindrances to rotation about backbone bonds as side chains become longer. Conversely, the T g s for both series of polymers decrease substantially as n increases, reflecting the greater side chain mobilities of long alkyl substituents. For shorter alkyl chain lengths, T g s for the poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s are much lower than for the corresponding poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s, a difference which has been attributed in the past to the presumed reduced chain flexibility of polymethacrylates due to the presence of the α-methyl substituent. However, contrary to such expectations, C ∞ and l p values for these two series of polymers are nearly identical at a given n value, except for the longest n-alkyl substituents. Instead, the differences in T g may be attributed to the differences in tacticity of the two series – almost ideally atactic for the poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s but high in syndiotacticity for the poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s. The T g s for the two series of polymers approach that of polyethylene at longer alkyl chain lengths. In addition, the effects of tacticity and chain dynamics on C ∞ , l p , and T g of poly(methyl methacrylate) is discussed.

Effect of Microstructure on Chain Flexibility and Glass Transition Temperature of Polybenzofulvene

Polybenzofulvene (PBF) is a polydiene with a very high glass transition temperature (T g ), which makes it a potential candidate for use as the hard block for high-temperature thermoplastic elastomer applications. The T g s of polydienes are known to be related to chain flexibility. However, no studies have been reported that correlate the chain flexibility to the microstructure of PBF. Herein, we present a study of solution properties of linear PBFs with narrow molecular weight dispersity and having 1,2-addition ranging from 23% to 99%. The materials were prepared by living anionic polymerization under different conditions. Specifically, the chain flexibility as defined by the Flory's characteristic ratio, , and dependence of chain flexibility on microstructure by combined measurements of intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight using triple-detector size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is studied. The persistence lengths (l p ) and chain diameters (d B ) were also estimated using the touched-bead wormlike chain model. To the best of our knowledge, the characteristic ratio of PBF is found to be the highest of all polydienes that have been reported so far.

Nanostructured Block Polymer Electrolytes: Tailoring Self-Assembly to Unlock the Potential in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Ion-containing solid block polymer (BP) electrolytes can self-assemble into microphase-separated domains to facilitate the independent optimization of ion conduction and mechanical stability; this assembly behavior has the potential to improve the functionality and safety of lithium-ion batteries over liquid electrolytes to meet future demands (e.g., large capacities and long lifetimes) in various applications. However, significant enhancements in the ionic conductivity and processability of BPs must be realized for BP-based electrolytes to become robust alternatives in commercial devices. Toward this end, the controlled modification of BP electrolytes’ intra-domain (nanometer-scale) and multi-grain (micrometer-scale) structure is one viable approach; intra-domain ion transport and segmental compatibility (related to the effective Flory–Huggins parameter, χ eff ) can be increased by tuning the ion and monomer-segment distributions, and the morphology can be selected such that the multi-grain transport is less sensitive to grain size and orientation.

Atomistic Simulations of Polydisperse Lignin Melts Using Simple Polydisperse Residue Input Generator

Understanding the physics of lignin will help rationalize its function in plant cell walls as well as aiding practical applications such as deriving biofuels and bioproducts. Here, in this work, we present SPRIG (Simple Polydisperse Residue Input Generator), a program for generating atomic-detail models of random polydisperse lignin copolymer melts i.e., the state most commonly found in nature. Using these models, we use all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the conformational and dynamic properties of polydisperse melts representative of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) lignin. Polydispersity, branching and monolignol sequence are found to not affect the calculated glass transition temperature, T g . The Flory–Huggins scaling parameter for the segmental radius of gyration is 0.42 ± 0.02, indicating that the chains exhibit statistics that lie between a globular chain and an ideal Gaussian chain. Below T g the atomic mean squared displacements are independent of molecular weight. In contrast, above T g , they decrease with increasing molecular weight. Therefore, a monodisperse lignin melt is a good approximation to this polydisperse lignin when only static properties are probed, whereas the molecular weight distribution needs to be considered while analyzing lignin dynamics.

Improving Thermal Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells by Suppressing Ion Migration Using Copolymer Grain Encapsulation

Thermal stability of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) remains as one of the critical challenges against the stable operation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in direct sunlight with elevated temperatures. Here, we show that the addition of a polystyrene-co-polyacrylonitrile (SAN) copolymer can significantly enhance thermal stability of OIHPs and improve the stability of the corresponding PSCs by suppressing the migration of organic cations in OHIP. The methylammonium lead iodide (MAPI) with SAN incorporated within the perovskite layer featured a superior thermal stability compared to pure MAPI without SAN, only displaying an average of 5–15% decrease in PCE even after continuous thermal aging for 24 h at 100 °C. The secondary ion mass spectrometry revealed that the thermal degradation of the pure MAPI was largely associated with MA+ out-migration. Conducting atomic force microscopy analysis further indicated that the incorporated SAN led to a suppression of ionic currents present at the grain boundaries of the perovskite film, which was understood by high immiscibility between SAN and MA+ components as confirmed by the experimentally estimated Flory–Huggins parameter between them. This study newly identifies a potential of using polymer grain encapsulation for enhancing thermal stability of OIHPs and their solar cell performance by suppressing the out-diffusion of cationic organic components.

Nanoparticle Superlattices with Negative Thermal Expansion (NTE) Coefficients

In this work, we report on the assembly of gold nanoparticles grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG–AuNPs) in aqueous solutions into the face-centered cubic superlattice by synchrotron X-ray scattering. At sufficiently high salt concentrations, the lattice constant decreases with increasing temperature, i.e., it exhibits a negative thermal expansion (NTE) coefficient that is 2–4 orders (in magnitude) larger than previously reported in NTE materials. The generality of the effect is demonstrated with different salts and different PEG chain lengths. Theoretical calculations show that PEG–AuNP becomes more insoluble (with the Flory–Huggins parameter χ > (1/2)) as temperature increases through water dehydration, with a decrease in the volume of the superlattice and an increase in the entropy of the system. Implications on the formation of nanoparticle superlattices and NTE properties are also discussed.

Effect of Polymer Chain Length on the Superlattice Assembly of Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

We report on the assembly of gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) superlattices at the liquid/vapor interface and in the bulk of their suspensions. Interparticle distances in the assemblies are achieved on multiple length scales by varying chain lengths of surface grafted AuNPs by polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weights in the range 2000–40,000 Da. Crystal structures and lattice constants in both 2D and 3D assemblies are determined by synchrotron-based surface-sensitive and small-angle X-ray scattering. Here, assuming knowledge of grafting density, we show that experimentally determined interparticle distances are adequately modeled by spherical brushes close to the θ point (Flory–Huggins parameter, x ≈ 1/2) for 2D superlattices at a liquid interface and a nonsolvent (χ = ∞) for the 3D dry superlattices.

Effect of Added Salt on Disordered Poly(ethylene oxide)-Block-Poly(methyl methacrylate) Copolymer Electrolytes

In this report we studied the effect of salt addition on a diblock copolymer system with a negative Flory-Huggins interaction parameter, χ, indicative of attractive interactions between the two blocks. The system studied is poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PEO-PMMA) with added lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) salt. We studied two asymmetric block copolymers, PEO-PMMA(10-33) and PEO-PMMA(10-64), where the numbers refer to the molar masses of the blocks in kg mol -1 . The small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) profiles for PEO-PMMA(10-33) were featureless at all salt concentrations. In contrast, PEO-PMMA(10-64) exhibited SAXS peaks when the salt concentration was between 0.22 ≤ m (mol Li/kg polymer) ≤ 0.44. The appearance of SAXS peaks only in PEO-PMMA(10-64) is consistent with the predictions of ionic self-consistent field theory developed by de la Cruz and co-workers, which predicts that in systems with negative χ, ordered phases are only found when the volume fraction of the ionic block is about 10%.

Various Low-Symmetry Phases in High- χ and Conformationally Asymmetric PDMS- b -PTFEA Copolymers

Since the discovery of the Frank–Kasper (FK) phase a decade ago, single-component block copolymer systems have offered unique opportunities to explore the structural and phase-transition properties of topologically close-packed FK phases composed of point-particle motifs. Here, we present the formation of complex low-symmetry phases and their thermodynamic stability using high-χ and high-ε linear diblock copolymers, where χ and ε are the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter and conformational asymmetry between the two blocks, respectively. In this work, a series of polydimethylsiloxane-b-poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate) (PDMS-b-PTFEA) copolymers are prepared by tuning the volume fraction ($f_{\text{PTFEA}}$) of a minor PTFEA block. The packing structures of PDMS-b-PTFEAs are mapped in the space of temperature versus $f_{\text{PTFEA}}$ using X-ray scattering measurements. In addition to the packing structures reported earlier, we identify another A15 phase at higher $f_{\text{PTFEA}}$ close to a hexagonally packed cylinder (HEX) phase and establish the phase sequence of HEX–A15–σ–C14–BCC with decreasing $f_{\text{PTFEA}}$. Theoretical calculation of relative free-energy densities confirms the experimental phase sequence of the composition-dependent sphere-packing structures. Interestingly, the domain sizes of three-dimensional (3D) sphere-packing structures are nearly temperature-invariant compared to that of a two-dimensional HEX structure, and we attribute this dimensional stability to the strong enthalpic effects in the formation of 3D packing structures and the geometrical characteristics of spherical domains. Our results demonstrate that the interaction parameter χ, together with the known role of conformational asymmetry ε, serves as the primary thermodynamic parameter for selecting and stabilizing various low-symmetry packing structures in sphere-forming linear diblock copolymer systems.

The Influence of Charge Correlation and Ion Solvation on the Phase Behavior of Single-Ion Conducting Polymer Blend Electrolytes Using SAXS/SANS

Single-ion conducting polymer blends (SICPBs) have demonstrated exceptional electrochemical performance as solid-state battery electrolytes; however, their nanoscale morphology and thermodynamic behavior remain unexplored. In this work, we investigate blends composed of deuterated poly(ethylene oxide) and poly[lithium sulfonyl(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide methacrylate], dPEO/P(LiMTFSI), and report the first experimental study of the nanostructures of charge-neutral polymer blends using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Despite the macroscopic miscibility indicated by a single glass-transition temperature, SANS and SAXS results reveal disordered, charge-correlated nanostructures that are strongly influenced by blend composition and temperature. At low concentrations of charge polymer, the scattering is dominated by concentration fluctuations, and the random phase approximation is applied to extract values of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, χ SC . At higher charged polymer content, concentration fluctuations are suppressed, and a correlation model is used to characterize the nanostructures of the charge correlations. We find that the structures of the charge correlations are highly dependent on blend composition─consistent with predictions from Sing’s self-consistent field theory-liquid state models. Understanding these features is essential for uncovering the ion transport mechanism that leads to improved electrochemical performance previously reported in SICPB systems.

Monitoring Depolymerization in Mesopores Using Dynamic Properties of Polymeric Melt Accessed via Dielectric Spectroscopy

Traditional design principles for heterogeneous catalysis guide the use of catalytic particles with mesosized (∼2–50 nm) pores to increase the number of surface-active sites by way of an increased surface area. However, the entry of long-chain polymers into such pores may be significantly limited by the size and entanglement of polymers in the melt state, thereby decreasing the number of accessible sites. Assessment of catalyst performance from traditional reactor-based studies averages over intrapore reaction events as well as reactions on the surface of a particle, resulting in an inability to distinguish between differences in site accessibility and activity. Techniques that assess the intrapore performance can inform the design of future heterogeneous catalysts for polymer upcycling. In this work, we demonstrate the use of broadband dielectric spectroscopy to monitor depolymerization of a polymer melt within mesopores via changes in the segmental relaxation time scale of amorphous polymer chains. In particular, we highlight the use of an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as a readily available model for catalyst pores with a well-characterized pore morphology. The decrease in the segmental relaxation (α-relaxation) time of the melt with increasing chain scission emerges as a measure of the extent of polymer deconstruction inside mesopores. To demonstrate the utility of this technique, we demonstrate the decomposition of two commercial poly(propylene carbonate) polymers with different decomposition rates within mesopores. As the polymers depolymerize, their segmental relaxation time decreases as the molecular weight decreases (as predicted by the Fox–Flory equation). The BDS-measured change in segmental relaxation time mirrors the expected trend based on change in molecular weight measured by size exclusion chromatography.

Assembling Vertical Block Copolymer Nanopores via Solvent Vapor Annealing on Homopolymer-Functionalized Substrates

Utilizing the self-assembly of block copolymers with large Flory–Huggins interaction parameters (χ) for nanofabrication is a formidable challenge due to the attendant large surface energy differences between the blocks. This work reports a robust protocol for the fabrication of thin films with highly ordered cylindrical nanopore arrays via the self-assembly of an asymmetric poly(styrene-block-4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) diblock copolymer blended with a P4VP homopolymer. The desired vertical domain orientation is achieved at the air–polymer interface by controlled solvent vapor annealing (SVA) using acetone, a solvent with weak selectivity for PS over P4VP, and at the substrate interface by functionalization using a hydroxy-terminated poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP-OH) homopolymer brush. In contrast, the vertical cylinder orientation is unstable during acetone SVA on substrates functionalized using hydroxy-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA-OH). Although PMMA exhibits more balanced interfacial energies between PS and P4VP than P2VP in the dry state, it is also swollen more selectively by acetone. We hypothesize that the nearly balanced solvent swelling of the three polymers (P2VP, P4VP, and PS) stabilizes the vertical cylinder orientation, while unbalanced swelling (PMMA > P4VP and PS) does not. Here we further characterize pore formation by addition of a P4VP homopolymer and its postassembly extraction using ethanol, revealing a narrow window of pore size tunability. Notably, minimal differences in nanopore morphologies are observed for P4VP volume fractions as high as 0.1, regardless of the P4VP molar mass. However, further increasing the P4VP volume fraction results in domain reorientation or macrophase separation when its molar mass is less than or greater than the P4VP block molar mass, respectively. Using a P4VP homopolymer that is nearly equal in length to the P4VP block enables the fabrication of well-ordered arrays of vertical, through-film nanopores with high aspect ratios (>10), small periods (<23 nm), and diameters less than 10 nm.

Supported Organochromium Ethylene Oligomerization Enabled by Surface Lithiation

Here, in this work, supported organochromium ethylene polymerization catalysts have been tuned to mediate ethylene oligomerization via surface lithiation, which provides a generalizable protocol to control stereoelectronics and redox states of surface organometallic active sites. The homoleptic chromium(IV) alkyl complex Cr(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 4 was grafted on high-surface-area anatase titania (TiO 2 ) nanoparticles as well as on silica to produce Cr/TiO 2 and Cr/SiO 2 , respectively. Treatment of these materials with excess n-butyllithium led to the reduced chromium complexes Cr/Li x TiO 2 and Cr/Li/SiO 2 , each of which still retains one hydrocarbyl ligand on chromium. A set of heterogeneous complexes were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, which indicate a reduction in the oxidation state of the major chromium species to Cr II upon lithiation. Cr/Li x TiO 2 converts ethylene to hexenes with a high selectivity (>80%), which was persistent over 10 days at 80 °C, achieving >950 turnovers. The exclusive formation of C 4 and C 6 olefins, preferring the trimerization product, without a statistical (Flory–Schulz) distribution is characteristic of the oxidative cyclization oligomerization mechanism rather than the traditional Cossee–Arlman mechanism, whereas Cr/Li/SiO 2 produced a mixture of trimerization and polymerization products, suggesting site heterogeneity in the silica-based material. On the other hand, the unreduced chromium(IV) materials as well as low lithium-containing Cr/Li x TiO 2 (x < 0.16) exclusively produced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, determined by differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography analysis, likely formed via a linear-insertion mechanism, with a crossover from the polymerization to oligomerization regime observed at ~16% Li intercalation.

Influence of Charge Fraction on the Phase Behavior of Symmetric Single-Ion Conducting Diblock Copolymers

A series of symmetric poly[(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) propyl sodium sulfonate methacrylate)]-block-polystyrene (PsOEGMA-PS) diblock copolymers were synthesized as a model system to probe the effect of charge fraction on the phase behavior of charged-neutral single-ion conducting diblock copolymers. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments showed that increasing the charge fraction does not alter the ordered phase morphology (lamellar) but increases the order–disorder transition temperature (T ODT ) significantly. Additionally, the effective Flory–Huggins interaction parameter (χ eff ) was found to increase linearly with the charge fraction, similar to the case of conventional salt-doped diblock copolymers. This indicates that the effect of counterion solvation, attributed to the significant mismatch between the dielectric constant of each block, provides the dominant effect in tuning the phase behavior of this charged diblock copolymer. Lastly, we therefore infer that electrostatic cohesion (local charge ordering induced by Coulombic interactions), which is predicted to suppress microphase separation and lead to asymmetric phase diagrams, only plays a minor role in this model system.

Exploring Microphase Separation in Semi-Fluorinated Diblock Copolymers: A Combined Experimental and Modeling Investigation

We report the combined experimental and theoretical study of the bulk self-assembly behavior of polystyrene-blockpoly( 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene) diblock copolymers. These block copolymers were designed to create highly antagonistic blocks (with a high Flory−Huggins interaction parameter, χ) with minimum disruption to the molecular construct (i.e., only replacing five hydrogen atoms with five fluorine atoms). A large library of diblock copolymers (41 samples) was synthesized by reversible addition− fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to map out a major portion of the phase space. All block copolymers exhibited narrow molecular weight distributions with dispersity (D) values between 1.07 and 1.32, and subsequent thermal annealing revealed phase separation into well-defined nanoscale morphologies depending on their molecular composition, as determined from small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy analyses, with an experimental phase diagram being constructed. The χ value at 25 °C for this block copolymer was estimated to be 0.2 using strong segregation theory, based on trends in phase-separated domain spacing and interfacial width. When applying theoretical approaches, the majority of the domain spacing data trends were captured by a coil−coil diblock copolymer model; however, a better fit to the data for samples with shorter fluorinated blocks was obtained with a rod−coil model, indicating that the chains in these fluorinated blocks likely have a higher inherent stiffness and were thus rod-like. This observation demonstrates that, due to the very high value of χ, a transition from coil−coil to rod−coil behavior can be obtained purely by reducing the length of the stiffer of the two blocks and without varying temperature or the chemical composition of the polymers. Here, this work showcases the presence of strong microphase separation within AB diblock copolymers despite the relatively similar chemical composition of the constituent “A” and “B” units, with a clear transition from rod−coil to coil−coil segregation behavior.

On the mechanism of marine fouling-prevention performance of oil-containing silicone elastomers

For many decades, silicone elastomers with oil incorporated have served as fouling-release coating for marine applications. In a comprehensive study involving a series of laboratory-based marine fouling assays and extensive global field studies of up to 2-year duration, we compare polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coatings of the same composition loaded with oil via two different methods. One method used a traditional, one-pot pre-cure oil addition approach (o-PDMS) and another method used a newer post-cure infusion approach (i-PDMS). The latter displays a substantial improvement in biofouling prevention performance that exceeds established commercial silicone-based fouling-release coating standards. We interpret the differences in performance between one-pot and infused PDMS by developing a mechanistic model based on the Flory–Rehner theory of swollen polymer networks. Using this model, we propose that the chemical potential of the incorporated oil is a key consideration for the design of future fouling-release coatings, as the improved performance is driven by the formation and stabilization of an anti-adhesion oil overlayer on the polymer surface.

Polymer principles behind solubilizing lignin with organic cosolvents for bioenergy

Lignin solubilization is key to a viable biorefinery because its removal leads to facile deconstruction of biomass and because the isolated lignin can serve to derive precursors of novel high-value materials. The mixing of organic solvents with water has been shown to improve biomass fractionation and lignin conversion reactions. However, generally-applicable solubilization strategies are lacking because of the remarkable variability of lignin across plant feedstocks. Here, to obtain a predictive understanding of lignin solvation, we perform molecular dynamics simulations of model lignin polymers in two mixtures of water with polar aprotic solvents: tetrahydrofuran (THF) : water and γ-valerolactone (GVL) : water. The model lignins include H-, G- and S-only homopolymers and lignins with an S : G 1 : 1 ratio. We find that a well-established theory of self-avoiding polymers in a “good” solvent describes accurately the physical conformations of all types of lignin in both solvents. As the degree of methoxy substitution increases in the homopolymers, the distributions of the lignin radius of gyration and the Flory exponent ν , which describes the lignin-solvent interactions, do not change in THF : water, while ν shifts to slightly higher values in GVL : water. We attribute this increase to the interaction between the methyl group of GVL with the lignin methoxy groups. We also find that the reduction in the lignin radius of gyration due to branching is accurately described by the Zimm–Stockmayer theory for both THF : water and GVL : water. The above findings validate the applicability of polymer physics concepts to lignin and suggest that GVL : water may have the most favorable interaction with S-lignin, whereas the interactions of THF : water with lignin are independent of lignin monomeric content.
