Helical Nanocomposites from Chiral Block Copolymer Templates

Journal Article Tseng, W ; Chen, C ; Chiang, Y ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Three-dimensional hexagonally packed PLLA nanohelices in the PS matrix were formed in the self-assembly of PS-PLLA chiral block copolymer. After hydrolysis of the PLLA blocks, PS with hexagonally packed helical nanochannels can be fabricated and treated as the template for the following sol-gel process. Subsequently, silica precursor mixture was introduced into the PS template by a pore-filling process. Well-defined helical nanocomposites with SiO2 inorganic nanohelices orderly dispersed in polymeric matrix can be successfully obtained after the sol-gel process. As a result, with the combination of the self-assembly of degradable block copolymers and sol-gel chemistry, we suggest a novel method formore »« less

A Spring-Like Behavior of Chiral Block Copolymer with Helical Nanostructure Driven by Crystallization

Journal Article Chiang, W ; Ho, R ; Thomas, E ; ... - Advanced Functional Materials

The crystallization of helical nanostructure resulting from the self-assembly of a chiral diblock copolymer, poly(styrene)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PS-PLLA), is studied. Various crystalline PS-PLLA nanostructures are obtained by controlling the crystallization temperature of PLLA (T{sub c,PLLA}), at which crystalline helices and crystalline cylinders occur while T{sub c,PLLA} < T{sub g,PS} (the glass transition temperature of PS) and T{sub c,PLLA} T{sub g,PS}, respectively. As evidenced by selected-area electron diffraction and two-dimensional X-ray diffraction results, the PLLA crystallites under confinement reveal a unique anisotropic character regardless of the crystallization temperature. On the basis of observed uniaxial scattering results the PLLA crystallites grown within the microdomainsmore »« less

Flory-Huggins parameter χ, from binary mixtures of Lennard-Jones particles to block copolymer melts

Journal Article Chremos, Alexandros ; Nikoubashman, Arash ; Panagiotopoulos, Athanassios Z. - Journal of Chemical Physics

In this contribution, we develop a coarse-graining methodology for mapping specific block copolymer systems to bead-spring particle-based models. We map the constituent Kuhn segments to Lennard-Jones particles, and establish a semi-empirical correlation between the experimentally determined Flory-Huggins parameter χ and the interaction of the model potential. For these purposes, we have performed an extensive set of isobaric–isothermal Monte Carlo simulations of binary mixtures of Lennard-Jones particles with the same size but with asymmetric energetic parameters. The phase behavior of these monomeric mixtures is then extended to chains with finite sizes through theoretical considerations. Such a top-down coarse-graining approach is importantmore »« less

Dynamics of crystallization from segregated block copolymer melts

Conference Quiram, D J ; Register, R A ; Marchand, G R ; ...

Microphase separation in semicrystalline block copolymers can be driven by two forces: thermodynamic incompatibility between blocks or crystallization of one or more blocks. Prior work has demonstrated that when the block incompatibility is small, crystallization occurs from a single-phase melt and alternating lamellar microdomains result regardless of the copolymer composition. Several experimental studies have examined the time-resolved process of crystallization from single-phase melts. An added complexity in the case of semicrystalline block copolymers which have large block incompatibilities is the possible formation of an ordered melt mesophase; the presence of these microdomains may affect the crystallization process and the resultantmore »« less
