Title: Soft nanoparticles: nano ionic networks of associated ionic polymers

Abstract

Directing the formation of nanostructures that serve as building blocks of membranes presents an immense step towards engineering controlled polymeric ion transport systems. Here, using the exquisite atomic detail captured by molecular dynamics simulations, we follow the assembly of a co-polymer that consists of polystyrene sulfonate tethered symmetrically to hydrophobic blocks, realizing a new type of long lived solvent-responsive soft nanoparticle.

Association of a multifunctional ionic block copolymer in a selective solvent

Journal Article Etampawala, Thusitha N. ; Aryal, Dipak ; Osti, Naresh C. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

The self-assembly of multiblock copolymers in solutions is controlled by a delicate balance between inherent phase segregation due to incompatibility of the blocks and the interaction of the individual blocks with the solvent. The current study elucidates the association of pentablock copolymers in a mixture of selective solvents which are good for the hydrophobic segments and poor for the hydrophilic blocks using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The pentablock consists of a center block of randomly sulfonated polystyrene, designed for transport, tethered to poly-ethylene-r-propylene and end-capped by poly-t-butyl styrene, for mechanical stability. We find that the pentablock forms ellipsoidal core-shellmore »« less

From Molecular Constraints to Macroscopic Dynamics in Associative Networks Formed by Ionizable Polymers: A Neutron Spin Echo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations Study

Journal Article Kosgallana, Chathurika ; Wijesinghe, Sidath ; Senanayake, Manjula ; ... - ACS Polymers Au

The association of ionizable polymers strongly affects their motion in solutions, where the constraints arising from clustering of the ionizable groups alter the macroscopic dynamics. The interrelation between the motion on multiple length and time scales is fundamental to a broad range of complex fluids including physical networks, gels, and polymer-nanoparticle complexes where long-lived associations control their structure and dynamics. Using neutron spin echo and fully atomistic, multimillion atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations carried out to times comparable to that of chain segmental motion, the current study resolves the dynamics of networks formed by polystyrene sulfonate solutions for sulfonation fractionsmore »« less

Phase Behavior of a Single Structured Ionomer Chain in Solution

Journal Article Aryal, Dipak ; Etampawala, Thusitha ; Perahia, Dvora ; ... - Macromolecular Theory and Simulations

Structured polymers offer a means to tailor transport pathways within mechanically stable manifolds. Here we examine the building block of such a membrane, namely a single large pentablock co-polymer that consist of a center block of a randomly sulfonated polystyrene, designed for transport, tethered to poly-ethylene-r-propylene and end-capped by poly-t-butyl styrene, for mechanical stability,using molecular dynamics simulations. The polymer structure in a cyclohexane-heptane mixture, a technologically viable solvent, and in water, a poor solvent for all segments and a ubiquitous substance is extracted. In all solvents the pentablock collapsed into nearly spherical aggregates where the ionic block is segregated. Inmore »« less

Interfacial Response and Structural Adaptation of Structured Polyelectrolyte Thin Films

Journal Article Senanayake, Manjula ; Aryal, Dipak ; Grest, Gary S. ; ... - Macromolecules

Ionizable block copolymers with distinctive block characteristics display the diversity crucial for the design of macromolecules for targeted applications. In contrast to van der Waals copolymers, their interfaces, which are critical to their function, consist of nanodomains, each of a different nature and thus unique interfacial behavior. Here, the interfacial response of a symmetric block copolymer with a sulfonated polystyrene polyelectrolyte center, tethered to polyethylene-r-propylene and terminated by poly(t-butyl styrene) is probed as polymer films are exposed to three polar solvents, water, propanol, and tetrahydrofuran (THF), using molecular dynamics simulations. Each of the solvents captures a distinctive interaction with themore »« less

Effect of Solvent Quality and Monomer Water Solubility on Soft Nanoparticle Morphology

Book Martin, Halie J. ; White, Benjamin T. ; Wang, Huiqun ; ...

Previous investigations have identified the correlation between synthetic conditions and soft nanoparticle morphology, including their molecular weight, internal crosslinked structure, total nanoparticle radius, and topology, or degree of “fuzziness” of each nanoparticle. To provide further insight to these guidelines, we examine the effect of surfactant concentration and monomer water solubility on the topology, size, and polydispersity of soft poly(butyl acrylate) nanoparticles. Small-angle neutron scattering studies confirm that increased monomer water solubility and polymer chain flexibility decreases the control of nanoparticle topology and size in a nano-emulsion polymerization. Further studies document the morphological change of polystyrene soft nanoparticles with a decreasemore »« less
