Title: Poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) block polymers for metal oxide templating

Abstract

A series of poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (CEO) diblock copolymers were synthesized through tandem anionic polymerizations and heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation. Solvent-annealed CEO diblock films were used to template dense arrays of inorganic oxide nanodots via simple spin coating of an inorganic precursor solution atop the ordered film. The substantial chemical dissimilarity of the two blocks enables (i) selective inclusion of the inorganic precursor within the PEO domain and (ii) the formation of exceptionally small feature sizes due to a relatively large interaction parameter estimated from mean-field analysis of the order–disorder transition temperatures of compositionally symmetric samples. UV/ozone treatment following incorporation produces an ordered arrangement of oxide nanodots and simultaneously removes the block polymer template. However, we report the smallest particles (6 ± 1 nm) templated from a selective precursor insertion method to date using a block polymer scaffold.

Poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-Poly(lactide) Oligomers for Ultrasmall Nanopatterning Using Atomic Layer Deposition

Journal Article Yao, Li ; Oquendo, Luis E. ; Schulze, Morgan W. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-poly(lactide) (PCHE–PLA) block polymers were synthesized through a combination of anionic polymerization, heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation and controlled ring-opening polymerization. Ordered thin films of PCHE–PLA with ultrasmall hexagonally packed cylinders oriented perpendicularly to the substrate surface were prepared by spin-coating and subsequent solvent vapor annealing for use in two distinct templating strategies. In one approach, selective hydrolytic degradation of the PLA domains generated nanoporous PCHE templates with an average pore diameter of 5 ± 1 nm corroborated by atomic force microscopy and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering. Alternatively, sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) was employed to deposit Al₂O₃ selectively into the PLAmore »« less

Thermodynamic characteristics of poly(cyclohexylethylene-b-ethylene-co-ethylethylene) block copolymers

A series of poly(cyclohexylethylene-b-ethylene-co-ethylethylene) (C-E/E{sub E}) diblock copolymers containing approximately 50% by volume glassy C blocks and varying fraction (x) of E{sub E} repeat units, 0.07 {le} x {le} 0.90, was synthesized by anionic polymerization and catalytic hydrogenation. The effects of ethyl branch content on the melt state segment-segment ({chi}) interaction parameter and soft (E/E{sub E}) block crystallinity were studied. The percent crystallinity ranged from approximately 30% at x = 0.07 to 0% at about x {ge} 0.30, while the melting temperature changed from 101 C at x = 0.07 to 44 C at x = 0.28.

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

Journal Article Shah, Neel J. ; Dadashi-Silab, Sajjad ; Galluzzo, Michael D. ; ... - Macromolecules

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) ≤more »« less

Sub-5 nm Domains in Ordered Poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) Block Polymers for Lithography.

Journal Article Kennemur, Justin ; Yao, Li ; Bates, Frank Stephen ; ... - Macromolecules

A series of poly(cyclohexylethylene)-block-poly- (methyl methacrylate) (PCHE PMMA) diblock copolymers with varying molar mass (4.9 kg/mol Mn 30.6 kg/mol) and narrow molar mass distribution were synthesized through a combination of anionic and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) techniques. Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of -(hydroxy)polystyrene (PS-OH) yielded -(hydroxy)poly(cyclohexylethylene) (PCHEOH) with little loss of hydroxyl functionality. PCHE-OH was reacted with -bromoisobutyryl bromide (BiBB) to produce an ATRP macroinitiator used for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. PCHE PMMA is a glassy, thermally stable material with a large effective segment segment interaction parameter, eff = (144.4 6.2)/T (0.162 0.013), determined by meanfield analysis of order-to-disordermore »« less

Confined Cylinders Constructed by a Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene Diblock Copolymer and a Blend of Poly(ethylene Oxide)-b-Polystyrene and Polystyrene

A poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polystyrene (PEO-b-PS) diblock copolymer with a number average molecular weight of PEO blocks, M{sub N}{sup PEO}=8.8 kg/mol, and a number average molecular weight of PS blocks, M{sub N}{sup PS}=24.5 kg/mol, (volume fraction of the PEO blocks, f{sub PEO}, was 0.26) exhibited a hexagonal cylinder (HC) phase structure. Small angle X-ray scattering results showed that the PEO cylinder diameter was 13.3 nm, and the hexagonal lattice was a=25.1 nm. The cylinder diameter of this HC phase structure was virtually the same as that in the blend system constructed by a PEO-b-PS diblock copolymer (M{sub N}{sup PEO}=8.7 kg/mol and M{submore »« less
