    Abstract mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have reached an inflection point and are now paving the way for a new wave of precision therapies. The design of nonhepatocyte RNA delivery systems without targeting ligands, however, remains a challenge. It is reported that the development of ligand‐free glycidylamine (GA) derivatives containing LNPs (GA‐LNPs) that preferentially deliver mRNA to immune cells in the spleen. Notably, it is demonstrated that the stereochemistry of GA‐lipids has a significant impact on their self‐assembly and in vitro and in vivo RNA delivery efficiency and tropism. This impact is dependent on the monomeric structure of GA and number of stereogenic centers. Furthermore, the nonlinear topology of GA lipid derivatives induced a sevenfold improvement in mRNA delivery efficiency. The top‐performing estriol‐GA05‐30 LNPs elicited strong antitumor activity in a therapeutic and prophylactic cancer model and are well tolerated in mice. These results highlight the significance of the chemistry of ionizable lipids for extrahepatic RNA delivery and indicated a promising direction for the development of next‐generation mRNA immunotherapies.

    Abstract Rotaxanes consisting of a high‐molecular‐weight axle and wheel components (macro‐rotaxanes) have high structural freedom, and are attractive for soft‐material applications. However, their synthesis remains underexplored. Here, we investigated macro‐rotaxane formation by the topological trapping of multicyclic polydimethylsiloxanes (mc‐PDMSs) in silicone networks. mc‐PDMS with different numbers of cyclic units and ring sizes was synthesized by cyclopolymerization of a α,ω‐norbornenyl‐functionalized PDMS. Silicone networks were prepared in the presence of 10–60 wt % mc‐PDMS, and the trapping efficiency of mc‐PDMS was determined. In contrast to monocyclic PDMS, mc‐PDMSs with more cyclic units and larger ring sizes can be quantitatively trapped in the network as macro‐rotaxanes. The damping performance of a 60 wt % mc‐PDMS‐blended silicone network was evaluated, revealing a higher tan δ value than the bare PDMS network. Thus, macro‐rotaxanes are promising as non‐leaching additives for network polymers.

    The redox behaviors of macrocyclic molecules with an entirely π-conjugated system are of interest due to their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. In this study, defect-free cyclic P3HT with a degree of polymerization (DPn) from 14 to 43 was synthesized based on our previously established method, and its unique redox behaviors arising from the cyclic topology were investigated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) showed that the HOMO level of cyclic P3HT decreases from –4.86 eV (14 mer) to –4.89 eV (43 mer), in contrast to the linear counterparts increasing from –4.94 eV (14 mer) to –4.91 eV (43 mer). During the CV measurement, linear P3HT suffered from electro-oxidation at the chain ends, while cyclic P3HT was stable. ESR and UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy suggested that cyclic P3HT has stronger dicationic properties due to the interactions between the polarons. On the other hand, linear P3HT showed characteristics of polaron pairs with multiple isolated polarons. Moreover, the dicationic properties of cyclic P3HT were more pronounced for the smaller macrocycles.

    AbstractSwitchable polymerization holds considerable potential for the synthesis of highly sequence-controlled multiblock. To date, this method has been limited to three-component systems, which enables the straightforward synthesis of multiblock polymers with less than five blocks. Herein, we report a self-switchable polymerization enabled by simple alkali metal carboxylate catalysts that directly polymerize six-component mixtures into multiblock polymers consisting of up to 11 blocks. Without an external trigger, the catalyst polymerization spontaneously connects five catalytic cycles in an orderly manner, involving four anhydride/epoxide ring-opening copolymerizations and one L-lactide ring-opening polymerization, creating a one-step synthetic pathway. Following this autotandem catalysis, reasonable combinations of different catalytic cycles allow the direct preparation of diverse, sequence-controlled, multiblock copolymers even containing various hyperbranched architectures. This method shows considerable promise in the synthesis of sequentially and architecturally complex polymers, with high monomer sequence control that provides the potential for designing materials.

    Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in a wide range of applications, and the size control and stability of the nanoparticles are crucial aspects in their applications. In the present study, cyclized poly(ethylene glycol) (c-PEG) with various molecular weights, along with linear PEG with hydroxy chain ends (HO–PEG–OH) and methoxy chain ends (MeO–PEG–OMe) were applied for the Tollens’ synthesis of AgNPs. The particle size was significantly affected by the topology and end groups of PEG. For example, the size determined by TEM was 40 ± 7 nm for HO–PEG5k–OH, 21 ± 4 nm for c-PEG5k, and 48 ± 9 nm for MeO–PEG5k–OMe when the molar ratio of PEG to AgNO3 (ω) was 44. The stability of AgNPs was also drastically improved by cyclization; the relative UV–Vis absorption intensity (A/A0 × 100%) at λmax to determine the proportion of persisting AgNPs in an aqueous NaCl solution (37.5 mM) was 58% for HO–PEG5k–OH, 80% for c-PEG5k, and 40% for MeO–PEG5k–OMe, despite the fact that AgNPs with c-PEG5k were much smaller than those with HO–PEG5k–OH and MeO–PEG5k–OMe.

    Block copolymers (BCPs) have garnered considerable interest due to their ability to form microphase-separated structures suitable for nanofabrication. For these applications, it is critical to achieve both sufficient etch selectivity and a small domain size. To meet both requirements concurrently, we propose the use of oligosaccharide and oligodimethylsiloxane as hydrophilic and etch-resistant hydrophobic inorganic blocks, respectively, to build up a novel BCP system, i.e., carbohydrate-inorganic hybrid BCP. The carbohydrate-inorganic hybrid BCPs were synthesized via a click reaction between oligodimethylsiloxane with an azido group at each chain end and propargyl-functionalized maltooligosaccharide (consisting of one, two, and three glucose units). In the bulk state, small-angle X-ray scattering revealed that these BCPs microphase separated into gyroid, asymmetric lamellar, and symmetric lamellar structures with domain-spacing ranging from 5.0 to 5.9 nm depending on the volume fraction. Additionally, we investigated microphase-separated structures in the thin film state and discovered that the BCP with the most asymmetric composition formed an ultrafine and highly oriented gyroid structure as well as in the bulk state. After reactive ion etching, the gyroid thin film was transformed into a nanoporous-structured gyroid SiO2 material, demonstrating the material’s promising potential as nanotemplates.

    The topology effects of cyclization on thermal phase transition behaviors were investigated for a series of amphiphilic Pluronic copolymers of both hydrophilic–hydrophobic–hydrophilic and hydrophobic–hydrophilic–hydrophobic block sequences. The dye solubilization measurements revealed the lowered critical micelle temperatures (TCMT) along with the decreased micellization enthalpy (ΔHmic) and entropy (ΔSmic) for the cyclized species. Furthermore, the transmittance and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements indicated a block sequence-dependent effect on the clouding phenomena, where a profound decrease in cloud point (Tc) was only found for the copolymers with a hydrophilic–hydrophobic–hydrophilic block sequence. Thus, the effect of cyclization on these critical temperatures was manifested differently depending on its block sequence. Finally, a comparison of the linear hydroxy-terminated, methoxy-terminated, and cyclized species indicated the effect of cyclization to be unique from a simple elimination of the terminal hydrophilic moieties.

    The first polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) block copolymer poly(2-hydroxybutyrate-b-3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(2HB-b-3HB)] was previously synthesized using engineered Escherichia coli expressing a chimeric PHA synthase PhaCAR with monomer sequence-regulating capacity. In the present study, the physical properties of the block copolymer and its relevant random copolymer P(2HB-ran-3HB) were evaluated. Stress–strain tests on the P(88 mol% 2HB-b-3HB) film showed an increasing stress value during elongation up to 393%. In addition, the block copolymer film exhibited slow contraction behavior after elongation, indicating that P(2HB-b-3HB) is an elastomer-like material. In contrast, the P(92 mol% 2HB-ran-3HB) film, which was stretched up to 692% with nearly constant stress, was stretchable but not elastic. The differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that the P(2HB-b-3HB) contained the amorphous P(2HB) phase and the crystalline P(3HB) phase, whereas P(2HB-ran-3HB) was wholly amorphous. Therefore, the elasticity of P(2HB-b-3HB) can be attributed to the presence of the crystalline P(3HB) phase and a noncovalent crosslinked structure by the crystals. These results show the potential of block PHAs as elastic materials.

    Herein, we report the Suzuki–Miyaura catalyst-transfer polycondensation (SCTP) of triol-borate-type carbazole monomers, i.e., potassium 3-(6-bromo-9-(2-octyldodecyl)-9H-carbazole-2-yl)triolborate (M1) and potassium 2-(7-bromo-9-(2-octyldodecyl)-9H-carbazole-2-yl) triolborate (M2), as an efficient and versatile approach for precisely synthesizing poly[9-(2-octyldodecyl)-3,6-carbazole] (3,6-PCz) and poly[9-(2-octyldodecyl)-2,7-carbazole] (2,7-PCz), respectively. The SCTP of triolborate-type carbazole monomers was performed in a mixture of THF/H2O using an initiating system consisted of 4-iodobenzyl alcohol, Pd2(dba)3•CHCl3, and t-Bu3P. In the SCTP of M1, cyclic by-product formation was confirmed, as reported for the corresponding pinacolboronate-type mon-omer. By optimizing the reaction temperature and reaction time, we successfully synthesized linear end-functionalized 3,6-PCz for the first time. The SCTP of M2 proceeded with almost no side reac-tion, yielding 2,7-PCz with a functional initiator residue at the α-chain end. Kinetic and block co-polymerization experiments demonstrated that the SCTP of M2 proceeded in a chain-growth and controlled/living polymerization manner. This is a novel study on the synthesis of 2,7-PCz via SCTP. By taking advantage of the well-controlled nature of this polymerization system, we demonstrated the synthesis of high-molecular-weight 2,7-PCzs (Mn = 5–38 kg mol−1) with a relatively narrow ÐM (1.35–1.48). Furthermore, we successfully synthesized fluorene/carbazole copolymers as well as 2,7-PCz-containing diblock copolymers, demonstrating the versatility of the present polymerization system as a novel synthetic strategy for well-defined polycarbazole-based materials.

    This focused review provides an overview of our recent work and related research regarding the precise anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP) of substituted epoxides, including alkylene oxides, glycidyl ethers, and glycidyl amines, using t-Bu-P-4 as the phosphazene base catalyst to produce functional polyethers, such as homopolymers, block copolymers (BCPs), and topologically unique polymers. First, the fundamental aspects and applicable monomer scope of the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed AROP are discussed. Subsequently, the applications of the AROP system for synthesizing functional materials and architectural polymers are presented.

    Here we report the first quantitative investigation of nanoscale film morphologies of a cage-shaped poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (cg-PCL9k) and its counterparts in star, cyclic, and linear topologies (st-PCL9k, cy-PCL6k, and l-PCL6k) with consideration of topological influence through synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray scattering analysis. The folded crystalline layer thickness l(c) is found to be in the increasing order of: st-PCL9k < l-PCL6k < cy-PCL6k < cg-PCL9k. Additional structural parameters, such as lamellar orientation, crystallinity, and orientation of orthorhombic lattice in nanoscale film, exhibit intricate dependencies on their molecular topologies and steric influences from the molecular joints and end groups. Nevertheless, all topological PCLs form lamellar structures based on the orthorhombic crystal lattice in nanoscale films. In addition, crystallization temperature T-c and crystal melting temperature T-m of all PCLs in bulk are highly dependent on the molecular topology; both T-c and T-m follow the same increasing trend of: st-PCL9k < l-PCL6k < cy-PCL6k < cg-PCL9k. Phase transition characteristics such as heat of fusion and crystallinity in bulk state, and thermal stability also depend upon the topological and steric influences.

    The mechanical properties and structural design flexibility of charge-trapping polymer electrets have led to their widespread use in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memories. For example, in the electrets of polyfluorene-based conjugated/insulating block copolymers (BCPs), the confined fiberlike polyfluorene nanostructures in the insulating polymer matrix act as effective hole-trapping sites, leading to controllable memory performance through the design of BCPs. However, few studies have reported intrinsically stretchable charge-trapping materials and their memory device applications, and a practical method to correlate the thin-film morphology of BCP electrets with their charge-trapping ability has not yet been developed. In this study, a series of new conjugated/insulating BCPs, poly(9,9-di-n-hexyl-2,7-fluorene)-block-poly(delta-decanolactone)s (PF-b-PDLx, x = 1-3), as stretchable hole-trapping materials are reported. The linear and branched PDL blocks with comparable molecular weights were used to investigate the effect of polymer architecture on morphology and device performance. Moreover, the coverage area of the polyfluorene nanofibers on the BCP films was extracted from atomic force microscopy images, which can be correlated with the trapping density of the polymer electrets. The branched PDL segments not only improve stretchability but also tailor crystallinity and phase separation of the BCPs, thus increasing their charge-trapping ability. The OFET memory device with PF-b-PDL3 as the electret layer exhibited the largest memory window (102 V) and could retain its performance at up to 100% strain. This research highlights the importance of the BCP design for developing stretchable charge-trapping materials.

    We report the synthesis, morphology and photo-memory device applications of a block copolymer (BCP) consisting of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) (PFO) and polystyrene (PS). Three BCPs were designed with various PS contents to manipulate the structure-performance relationship of the polymer electrets in a photonic field-effect transistor-type (FET) memory device. The memory device using the BCP electret exhibited a dynamic switching behaviour with photo-writing and electrical-erasing processes. We found that the BCPs with a high PS content provided improved device performance, which could be explained by two aspects: (1) the enhanced beta -conformation of the PFO strengthened the electron-trapping capability, (2) the well-dispersed and microphase-separated morphology stabilized the trapped electrons on the interface of PFO and PS domains. Consequently, PFO5k-b-PS22k outperformed in terms of the photo-responding current along with having a high current on/off ratio of 10(4) and exhibited a retention time of more than 10000 s. Our experimental results revealed the effectiveness of using the design based on a BCP for application in photonic FET memory devices.

    AbstractNano-sized metal particles are attracting much interest in industrial and biomedical applications due to the recent progress and development of nanotechnology, and the surface-modifications by appropriate polymers are key techniques to stably express their characteristics. Herein, we applied cyclic poly(ethylene glycol) (c-PEG), having no chemical inhomogeneity, to provide a polymer topology-dependent stabilization for the surface-modification of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through physisorption. By simply mixing c-PEG, but not linear counterparts, enables AuNPs to maintain dispersibility through freezing, lyophilization, or heating. Surprisingly, c-PEG endowed AuNPs with even better dispersion stability than thiolated PEG (HS–PEG–OMe). The stronger affinity of c-PEG was confirmed by DLS, ζ-potential, and FT-IR. Furthermore, the c-PEG system exhibited prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor accumulation in mice. Our data suggests that c-PEG induces physisorption on AuNPs, supplying sufficient stability toward bio-medical applications, and would be an alternative approach to the gold–sulfur chemisorption.

    Abstract Discrete block co-oligomers (BCOs) are gaining considerable attention due to their potential to form highly ordered ultrasmall nanostructures suitable for lithographic templates. However, laborious synthetic routes present a major hurdle to the practical application. Herein, we report a readily available discrete BCO system that is capable of forming various self-assembled nanostructures with ultrasmall periodicity. Click coupling of propargyl-functionalized sugars (containing 1–7 glucose units) and azido-functionalized terpenoids (containing 3, 4, and 9 isoprene units) afforded the discrete and monodisperse BCOs with a desired total degree of polymerization and block ratio. These BCOs microphase separated into lamellar, gyroid, and cylindrical morphologies with the domain spacing (d) of 4.2–7.5 nm. Considering easy synthesis and rich phase behavior, presented BCO systems could be highly promising for application to diverse ~4-nm nanofabrications.

    © 2020, The Author(s). The development of precise folding techniques for synthetic polymer chains that replicate the unique structures and functions of biopolymers has long been a key challenge. In particular, spiro-type (i.e., 8-, trefoil-, and quatrefoil-shaped) polymer topologies remain challenging due to their inherent structural complexity. Herein, we establish a folding strategy to produce spiro-type multicyclic polymers via intramolecular ring-opening metathesis oligomerization of the norbornenyl groups attached at predetermined positions along a synthetic polymer precursor. This strategy provides easy access to the desired spiro-type topological polymers with a controllable number of ring units and molecular weight while retaining narrow dispersity (Ɖ < 1.1). This effective strategy marks an advancement in the development of functionalized materials composed of specific three-dimensional nanostructures.

    © The Royal Society of Chemistry. In this study, we demonstrated that the Suzuki-Miyaura catalyst transfer polycondensation (SCTP) of the triolborate-type fluorene monomer, viz. potassium 2-(7-bromo-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene-2-yl)triolborate, can be an efficient and versatile approach to the precise synthesis of poly[2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)]s (PFs) and PF-containing block and graft copolymers. SCTP of the triolborate-type monomer proceeded rapidly in a THF/H2O mixed solvent at -10 °C using an iodobenzene derivative/Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3/t-Bu3P initiating system. Kinetic and post-polymerization experiments revealed that SCTP proceeded via the chain-growth and living polymerization mechanisms. The most important feature of the present polymerization system is that only a small amount of base and water can sufficiently promote the reaction. The well-controlled nature of this polymerization system enabled the synthesis of high-molecular-weight PFs (Mn = 5-69 kg mol-1) with narrow dispersity (ĐM = 1.14-1.38) and α-end-functionalized PFs. Most importantly, PF-containing block and graft copolymers were successfully synthesized, beginning with various iodobenzene-functionalized macroinitiators; this was difficult to achieve by the conventional SCTP of pinacolboronate-type fluorene monomer. One of the key factors for the successful block and graft copolymer syntheses is the reduced water content in the polymerization medium, which suppressed the potential precipitation/aggregation of the macroinitiators.

    In this study, poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(delta-decanolactone)s (P3HT-b-PDLs) with the molecular architecture of AB, BAB, B(2)AB(2), and B(3)AB(3) (A: P3HT, B: PDL) were synthesized for stretchable organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) through the Cu-catalyzed azido-alkyne click reaction (CuAAC) with a high yield. The effects of triblock and branched architectures on the thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of the prepared block copolymers were studied. Block copolymer thin films prepared from the selective solvent of cyclohexane exhibited a distinct phase separating the domain of P3HT with a nanofibrillar structure. Grazing-incidence X-ray scattering results indicated that all of the block copolymer thin films possessed the P3HT crystalline domains with the same domain spacing regardless of the branched architecture. However, the branched soft segments led to a more random phase separation of the block copolymer and lower crystallinity of the P3HT block. Consequently, thin films made by the triblock copolymers with branched PDL segments (B(2)AB(2) and B(3)AB(3)) exhibited favorable electrical properties with significantly improved stretchability and smaller elastic modulus. The carrier mobility of the block copolymer-based OFETs showed a comparable performance to that of the pristine P3HT homopolymer. Also, the B(3)AB(3)-based OFET could maintain 72-75% on the charge mobility under 100% strain and 71-75% after 500 stretch-release cycles at 50% strain. The study revealed that the stretchability of the conjugated/elastic block copolymers can be significantly enhanced by our architecture design without losing their semiconducting property.

    Recent advancements in modern microelectronics continuously increase the data storage capacity of modern devices, but they require delicate and costly fabrication processes. As alternatives to conventional inorganic based semiconductors, semiconducting polymers are of academic and industrial interest for their cost-efficiency, power efficiency, and flexible processability. Here, we have synthesized a series of novel oxygen-based polymers through the postmodification reactions of poly(ethylene-alt-maleate) with various oxybenzyl alcohol derivatives. The oxygen-based polymers are thermally stable up to 180 degrees C, and their nanoscale film devices exhibit reliable, power efficient p-type unipolar volatile and nonvolatile resistive memory characteristics with high ON/OFF current ratios. Additionally, when given a higher number of oxygen atoms in oxyphenyl side groups, the thin film polymer devices demonstrate a wide operational film thickness range. The memory characteristics depend on the oxyphenyl moieties functioning as charge trap sites, where a combination of Schottky emission and trap-limited space charge limited conductions in OFF-state and hopping conduction in ON-state are observed. This study demonstrates the chemical incorporation of oxyphenyl derivatives into polymer dielectrics as a powerful development tool for p-type resistive memory materials.

    Nanofibrillated bacterial cellulose (NFBC) is produced by culturing a cellulose-producing bacterium under agitated aerobic conditions in a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-supplemented medium. Detailed structural analyses revealed that NFBC fiber widths varied with the degree of substitution of the CMC used, and zeta potential values decreased with the increment of CMC concentration in the medium. Transmission electron microscopy observation after immunostaining demonstrated that CMC molecules were present on the NFBC microfibril surfaces. We tested NFBC for utility as a binder for a display device that uses electrochromic (EC) material. Introduction of a quaternary ammonium group into the EC molecules enhanced their interactions with the negatively charged NFBC microfibrils. A casting process homogeneously adsorbed the EC molecules onto the surface of a transparent electrode with NFBC. A homogeneous color change was successfully observed upon applying an electric field, suggesting that NFBC could be used as a binder material for uniform surface adsorption.

    This study revealed the secondary structures of the water-soluble Aureobasidium pullulans β-(1→3, 1→6)-D-glucan (APG) whose primary structural unit is a β-(1→3)-D-glucan backbone with four β-(1→6)-D-glucosyl branching units every six residues. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments involving samples prepared from lyophilized APG dissolved in H2O or DMSO showed that APG forms a triple helix in H2O and a random structure in DMSO. In addition, it was revealed that the transformation from the triple helix of APG to the random structure occurs reversibly, and that the triple helix is recovered from the random structure in DMSO/H2O mixtures containing more than 30% H2O. Solid-state NMR and diffraction studies revealed that the triple helix of APG is more stable than that of SPG. The APG helical pitch is 1.82 nm, which is about 10% longer than that of the triple helix of schizophyllan whose structure comprises a β-(1→3)-D-glucan backbone with one β-(1→6)-D-branching unit every three residues. These findings show that the β-(1→6) side-chain frequency strongly affects the stability and helical pitch of a β-(1→3, 1→6)-D-glucan.

    © 2019 Elsevier Ltd This work presents a method to fabricate the heat-storable CFRP, a multifunctional composite that combines strength, lightweight and heat storability. For mobile electric devices, thermal management system using phase change material (PCM) has been developed. However, as long as the PCM changes to liquid phase, it is difficult to reduce the weight since the sealed container is indispensable. Hence, the authors have focused trans-1,4-polybutadiene (TPBD), which is crystalline polymer that accumulates heat by crystal structure transition in solid phase. In this study, TPBD was incorporated into CFRP. To avoid exposing TPBD to high-temperature and high-pressure processes, the electrodeposition resin molding (ERM) method was applied. That is, a non-crimp carbon fiber fabric (NCF) was immersed in the electrodeposition solution containing epoxy polymers in which the pulverized TPBD was dispersed. Applying a current, resin was deposited and impregnated between carbon fibers. Simultaneously, TPBD was incorporated to obtain heat-storable CFRP.

    A novel strategy for downsizing the feature of microphase-separated structures was developed via the intramolecular crosslinking reaction of block copolymers (BCPs) without changing the molecular weight. A series of BCPs consisting of poly[styrene-st-(p-3-butenyl styrene)] and poly(rac-lactide) (SBS-LA) was subjected to Ru-catalyzed olefin metathesis under highly diluted conditions to produce intramolecularly crosslinked BCPs (SBS(cl)-LAs). Small-angle X-ray scattering measurement and transmission electron microscopy observation of the SBS(cl)-LAs revealed feature size reduction in lamellar (LAM) and hexagonally close-packed cylinder (HEX) structures in the bulk state, which was surely due to the restricted chain dimensions of the intramolecularly crosslinked SBS block. Notably, the degree of size reduction was controllable by varying the crosslink density, with a maximum decrease of 22% in the LAM spacing. In addition, we successfully observed the downsizing of the HEX structure in the thin film state using atomic force microscopy, indicating the applicability of the present methodology to next-generation lithography technology.

    Cage-shaped polymers, or "macromolecular cages", are of great interest as the macromolecular analogues of molecular cages because of their various potential applications in supramolecular chemistry and materials science. However, the systematic synthesis of macromolecular cages remains a great challenge. Herein, we describe a robust and versatile synthetic strategy for macromolecular cages with defined arm numbers and sizes based on the intramolecular consecutive cyclization of highly reactive norbornene groups attached to each end of the arms of a star-shaped polymer precursor. The cyclizations of three-, four-, six-, and eight-armed star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone)s (PCLs) bearing a norbornenyl group at each arm terminus were effected with Grubbs' third generation catalyst at high dilution. 1H NMR, SEC, and MALDI-TOF MS analyses revealed that the reaction proceeded to produce the desired macromolecular cages with sufficient purity. The molecular sizes of the macromolecular cages were controlled by simply changing the molecular weight of the star-shaped polymer precursors. Systematic investigation of the structure-property relationships confirmed that the macromolecular cages adopt a much more compact conformation, in both the solution and bulk states, as compared to their linear and star-shaped counterparts. This synthetic approach marks a significant advance in the synthesis of complex macromolecular architectures and provides a platform for novel applications using cage-shaped molecules with polymer frameworks.

    Micelles were prepared in organic solvents by using three topological polymer amphiphiles: (i) cyclic poly(n-decyl glycidyl ether-block-2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether) (c-PDGE-b-PTEGGE) and (ii) its linear analogue (l-PDGE-b-PTEGGE); (iii) linear poly(6-phosphorylcholinehexylthiopropyl glycidyl ether-block-n-dodecanoyl glycidyl ether) (l-PPCGE-b-PDDGE). For the individual micelle solutions, the size and distribution were determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and synchrotron X-ray scattering analyses. The synchrotron X-ray scattering analysis further found that c-PDGE-b-PTEGGE forms oblate ellipsoidal micelle in an ethanol/water mixture, l-PDGE-b-PTEGGE makes prolate ellipsoidal micelle in an ethanol/water mixture, and l-PPCGE-b-PDDGE forms cylindrical micelle in chloroform. This comparative study found that there are large differences in the size and distribution results extracted by DLS and X-ray scattering analyses. All possible factors to cause such large differences are discussed. Moreover, a better use of the DLS instrument with keeping its merits is proposed.

    Cyclic polymers exhibit unique physical and chemical properties because of the restricted chain mobility and absence of chain ends. Although many types of homopolymers and diblock copolymers possessing cyclic architectures have been synthesized to date, there are relatively few reports of cyclic triblock terpolymers because of their synthetic difficulties. In this study, a novel synthetic approach for μ-ABC tricyclic miktoarm star polymers involving t-Bu-P₄-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of glycidyl ethers and intramolecular copper-catalyzed azido-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) was developed. First, the t-Bu-P₄-catalyzed ROP of decyl glycidyl ether, dec-9-enyl glycidyl ether, and 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy) ethyl glycidyl ether with the aid of functional initiators and terminators was employed for the preparation of a clickable linear triblock terpolymer precursor possessing three azido and three ethynyl groups at the selected positions. Next, the intramolecular CuAAC of the linear precursor successfully produced the well-defined tricyclic triblock terpolymer with narrow dispersity in a reasonable yield. The present strategy is useful for synthesizing model polymers for studying the topological effects on the triblock terpolymer self-assembly.

    A novel synthesis of multicyclic polymers that feature ultradense arrays of cyclic polymer units has been developed by exploiting the cyclopolymerization of α,ω-norbornenyl end-functionalized macromonomers mediated by the Grubbs third-generation catalyst (G3). Owing to the living polymerization nature, the number of cyclic repeating units in these multicyclic polymers was controlled to be between 1 and approximately 70 by varying the initial macromonomer-to-G3 ratio. The ring size was also tuned by choosing the molecular weight of the macromonomer in this way we successfully prepared multicyclic polymers that possess cyclic repeating units composed of up to about 500 atoms, which by far exceeds those prepared to date by cyclopolymerization. Specifically, cyclopolymerizations of α,ω-norbornenyl end-functionalized poly(l-lactide)s (PLLAs) proceeded homogeneously under highly dilute conditions (∼0.1 mM in CH2Cl2) to give multicyclic polymers that feature cyclic PLLA repeating units on the polynorbornene backbone. The cyclic product architectures were confirmed not only by structural characterization based on NMR, MALDI-TOF MS, and SEC analyses but also by comparing their glass transition temperatures, viscosities, and hydrodynamic radii with their acyclic counterparts. The cyclopolymerization strategy was applicable to a variety of α,ω-norbornenyl end-functionalized macromonomers, such as poly(ϵ-caprolactone), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(tetrahydrofuran), and PLLA-b-PEG-b-PLLA. The successful statistical and block cyclocopolymerizations of the PLLA and PEG macromonomers gave amphiphilic multicyclic copolymers.

    A series of brush block copolymers (BBCPs) consisting of poly(decyl glycidyl ether) (PDGE) and poly(10-hydroxyldecyl glycidyl ether) (PHDGE) blocks, having four different types of chain tacticities, i.e., [at-PDGE]-b-[at-PDEGE], [at-PDGE]-b-[it-PDEGE], [it-PDGE]-b-[at-PDEGE], and [it-PDGE]-b-[it-PDEGE], where the it and at represent the isotactic and atactic chains, respectively, were prepared by t-Bu-P4-catalyzed sequential anionic ring-opening polymerization of glycidyl ethers followed by side-chain modification. The corresponding homopolymers, i.e., at-PDGE, it-PDGE, at-PHDGE, and it-PHDGE, were also prepared for comparison with the BBCPs. The PDGE homopolymers were significantly promoted in the phase transitions and morphological structure formation by the isotacticity formation. In particular, it-PDGE was found to form only a horizontal multibilayer structure with a monoclinic lattice in thin films, which was driven by the bristles' self-assembling ability and enhanced by the isotacticity. However, the PHDGE homopolymers were found to reveal somewhat different behaviors in the phase transitions and morphological structure formation by the tacticity control due to the additional presence of a hydroxyl group in the bristle end as an H-bonding interaction site. The H-bonding interaction could be enhanced by the isotacticity formation. The it-PHDGE homopolymer formed only the horizontal multibilayer structure, which was different from the formation of a mixture of horizontal and tilted multibilayer structures in at-PHDGE. The structural characteristics were further significantly influenced by the diblock formation and the tacticity of the counterpart block. Because of the strong self-assembling characteristics of the individual block components, all the BBCPs formed separate crystals rather than cocrystals. The isotacticity always promoted the formation of better quality morphological structures in terms of their lateral ordering and orientation.

    Hard-soft-hard triblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(2-naphthyl glycidyl ether)-block-poly[2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether]-block-poly(2-naphthyl glycidyl ether)s (PNG-PTG-PNGs), were synthesized by sequential ring-opening polymerization of 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether and 2-naphthyl glycidyl ether using a bidirectional initiator catalyzed by a phosphazene base. Four PNG-PTG-PNGs had different block compositions (fwt,PNG = 9.2-28.6 wt %), controlled molecular weights (Mn = 23.9-30.9 kDa), and narrow dispersities (Crossed D sign = 1.11-1.14). Most of the PNG-PTG-PNG electrolytes had much higher Li+ conductivities than that of a PEO electrolyte (6.54 × 10-7 S cm-1) at room temperature. Eespecially, the Li+ conductivity of PNG18-PTG107-PNG18 electrolyte (9.5 × 10-5 S cm-1 for fwt,PNG = 28.6 wt %) was comparable to one of a PTG electrolyte (1.11 × 10-4 S cm-1). The Li+ conductivities of PNG-PTG-PNG electrolytes were closely correlated to efficient Li+ transport channels formed by the microphase separation into soft PTG and hard PNG domains.

    Alkali metal carboxylates were discovered as efficient and simple catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters that are alternatives to conventional metal-based catalysts and organocatalysts. In our system using an alcohol initiator and this simple catalyst, biodegradable and biocompatible aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(lactide), poly(e-caprolactone), poly(δ-valerolactone), and poly(trimethylene carbonate), were obtained with predictive molecular weights ranging from 3500 to 22-600 and narrow dispersities. A kinetic experiment for the ROP of l-lactide confirmed the controlled/living nature of the present ROP system, which allowed the precise synthesis of end-functionalized polyesters as well as multihydroxyl-containing polyesters, including α,hydroxy telechelic and star-shaped polyesters. Furthermore, a block copolymer containing the poly(l-lactide) segment was successfully synthesized using a macroinitiator possessing a hydroxyl group at the chain end. The tunability of the alkali metal carboxylates by the appropriate choice of the alkyl moiety and countercation enables not only control of the polymerization behavior but also expansion of the scope of the applicable monomers. Given the low cost, easy handling, and low toxicity of the alkali metal carboxylates, the present ROP system can be highly promising for both laboratory- and industrial-scale polyester productions.

    Biological polymer synthetic systems, which utilize no template molecules, normally synthesize random copolymers. We report an exception, a synthesis of block polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in an engineered Escherichia coli. Using an engineered PHA synthase, block copolymers poly[(R)-2-hydroxybutyrate(2HB)-b-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate(3HB)] were produced in E. coli. The covalent linkage between P(2HB) and P(3HB) segments was verified with solvent fractionation and microphase separation. Notably, the block sequence was generated under the simultaneous consumption of two monomer precursors, indicating the existence of a rapid monomer switching mechanism during polymerization. Based on in vivo metabolic intermediate analysis and the relevant in vitro enzymatic activities, we propose a model in which the rapid intracellular 3HB-CoA fluctuation during polymer synthesis is a major factor in generating block sequences. The dynamic change of intracellular monomer levels is a novel regulatory principle of monomer sequences of biopolymers.

    Microphase-separated structures of block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted considerable attention for their potential application in the bottom-up fabrication of 10 nm scale nanostructured materials. To realize sustainable development within this field, the creation of novel BCP materials from renewable biomass resources is of fundamental interest. Thus, we herein focused on maltoheptaose-b-poly(δ-decanolactone)-b-maltoheptaose (MH-b-PDL-b-MH) as a sustainable alternative for nanostructure-forming BCPs, in which both constitutional blocks can be derived from renewable biomass resources, in the case, δ-decanolactone and amylose. Well-defined MH-b-PDL-b-MHs with varying PDL lengths were synthesized through a combination of controlled/living ring-opening polymerization and the click reaction. The prepared MH-b-PDL-b-MHs successfully self-assembled into highly ordered hexagonal cylindrical structures with a domain-spacing of ∼12-14 nm in both the bulk and thin film states. Interestingly, the as-cast thin films of MH-b-PDL-b-MHs (with PDL lengths of 9K and 13K) form horizontal cylinders, with thermal annealing (180 °C, 30 min) resulting in a drastic change in the domain orientation from horizontal to vertical. Thus, the results presented herein demonstrated that the combination of oligosaccharides and biomass-derived hydrophobic polymers appears promising for the sustainable development of nanotechnology and related fields.

    This study reports the first well-defined and stable nanomicelles (20 - 30 nm in diameter) self-assembled from amphiphilic brush (comb-like) cyclic and tadpole-shaped copolymers composed of hydrophobic n-decyl and hydrophilic 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy) ethyl bristle blocks based on a poly(glycidyl ether) backbone. The micelle formation behaviour and structural details were investigated by synchrotron X-ray scattering analysis in a rigorous and complementary manner. The amphiphilic brush cyclic topology facilitates more compact and stable aggregation behaviour in the micelle core and a more densely packed corona, which prevents intermicellar aggregation. The presence of a hydrophobic component with brush cyclic topology inside the core is identified as the primary micelle stabilizing factor, enabling stable core aggregation and sharper core-corona interface formation. The presence of a hydrophilic brush cyclic component in the corona is determined as the secondary micelle stabilizing factor, helping nullify the corona penetration by polymer chains from other micelles and ultimately prevent the intermicellar aggregation-mediated collapse of the micellar structure. Overall, the brush cyclic topology was confirmed to be beneficial for forming highly stable nanomicelles with an extremely narrow (pseudo-monodisperse) size distribution compared with conventional linear topology and tadpole topologies. All the results of this study provide a unique opportunity for designing advanced functional high-performance amphiphilic materials for nanomicelles that are unattainable by other conventional methods and broadening their applications in various fields, including drug delivery, biomedical imaging, foods, cosmetics, smart coatings, photonics and molecular electronics.

    Nanofibrillated bacterial cellulose (NFBC) is produced by culturing a cellulose-producing bacterium (Gluconacetobacter intermedius NEDO-01) with rotation or agitation in medium supplemented with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Despite a high yield and dispersibility in water, the product immediately aggregates in organic solvents. To broaden its applicability, we prepared amphiphilic NFBC by culturing strain NEDO-01 in medium supplemented with hydroxyethylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose instead of CMC. Transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the resultant materials (HE-NFBC and HP-NFBC, respectively) comprised relatively uniform fibers with 'diameters of 33 +/- 7 and 42 +/- 8 nm, respectively. HP-NFBC was dispersible in polar organic solvents such as methanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethylformamide, and was also dispersible in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) by solvent mixing using THF. HP-NFBC/PMMA composite films were highly transparent and had a higher tensile strength than neat PMMA film. Thus, HP-NFBC has a broad range of applications, including as a filler material.

    This paper describes a comprehensive study of the lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type thermoresponsive properties of various poly(glycidyl ether) homopolymers with a varying side chain structure, molecular weight, and main chain tacticity, as well as their copolymers with a varying monomer composition and monomer sequence. For the initial screening, we prepared nine kinds of poly(glycidyl ether)s by the phosphazene base-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of glycidyl methyl ether (MeGE), ethyl glycidyl ether (EtGE), glycidyl isopropyl ether (iPrGE), 2-methoxyethyl glycidyl ether (MeEOGE), 2-ethoxyethyl glycidyl ether (EtEOGE), 2-propoxyethyl glycidyl ether (PrEOGE), 2-(2- methoxyethoxy) ethyl glycidyl ether (MeEO(2)GE), 2-(2-ethoxyethyl) ethyl glycidyl ether (EtEO(2)GE), and 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy) ethyl glycidyl ether (MeEO(3)GE). Among them, poly(MeGE), poly(EtGE), poly(MeEOGE), poly(EtEOGE), and poly(MeEO(2)GE) (M-n = ca. 5000 g mol(-1)) were found to exhibit a LCST-type phase transition in water at 65.5 degrees C, 10.3 degrees C, 91.6 degrees C, 41.3 degrees C, and 58.2 degrees C, respectively. Although the molecular weight and main chain tacticity had little impact on the phase transition temperature, the side chain structure, i.e., the number of oxyethylene units and terminal alkyl groups, significantly affected the transition temperature. The statistical copolymers composed of MeEOGE and EtEOGE revealed that the transition temperature of the polymer can be desirably customized in between those of the homopolymers by varying the monomer composition. On the other hand, we found that the block copolymer composed of MeEOGE and EtEOGE exhibited a complex thermoresponsive behavior due to its ability to form a micellar aggregate.

    D-Lactate (LA)-based oligomers (D-LAOs), consisting of D-LA and D-3-hydroxybutyrate (D-3HB), are biobased compounds which are produced and spontaneously secreted by recombinant Escherichia coli. By supplementing the bacterial cultivation with diethylene glycol (DEG), the oligomers featuring hydroxyl groups at both ends of their structures, the D-LAOs-DEG, can be efficiently biosynthesized. In the present work, we attempted to verify the feasibility of D-LAOs-DEG as building blocks to be assembled into LA-based poly(ester-urethane) via polyaddition reactionwith diisocyanate. The polymeric products were demonstrated by SEC and the urethane bound formation in the polymer was determined by FT-IR analysis, indicating that the polymerization was successfully performed. These results suggested that the one-step biosynthesized D-LAOs-DEG are potential substrates for the synthesis of LA-based poly(ester-urethane) and can be further applied to the synthesis of other LA copolymers.

    The effect of intramolecular cross-linking in an amphiphilic block copolymer (BCP) system was systematically investigated in terms of its thermal properties, critical micelle concentration (CMC), and aqueous self-assembly. A series of linear BCPs consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a hydrophilic block and poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-7-allyloxepan-2-one) (P(CL-co-ACL)) as a hydrophobic block were prepared by the ring-opening copolymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) and 7-allyloxepan-2-one (ACL) using poly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether as an initiator. The intramolecular olefin metathesis reaction in the P(CL-co-ACL) block was subsequently carried out under various conditions to prepare the cross-linked BCPs with different degrees of cross-linking. The thermal analysis confirmed that the linear P(CL-co-ACL) block was found to crystallize, while the cross-linked one showed no crystallinity. In addition, glass transition temperature of the P(CL-co-ACL) block increased upon cross-linking. On the other hand, the intramolecular cross-linking had no significant influence on the CMC. The self-assembled micelles were prepared from the obtained BCPs and their size and morphology were investigated. For the BCPs with relatively short PEG chains, the micellar size decreased from 36.6 nm to 16.7 nm as the degree of cross-linking of the P(CL-co-ACL) block increased. On the other hand, the BCPs with relatively long PEG chains showed a change in the micellar morphology from spherical micelles to short worm and large compound micelles upon cross-linking.

    We report the synthesis, morphology, and properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-block-poly(butyl acrylate) (P3HT-b-PBA) for stretchable electronics applications, which are consisted of semiconducting P3HT and low glass transistion temperature (T-g) PBA blocks. The P3HT-b-PBA thin films self-assembled into fibrillar-like nanostructures and maintained the edge-on oreientation even at a low P3HT composition, based on the results from atomic force microscopy (AFM) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIRD). By varying the P3HT/PBA ratio, the tensile modulus decreased as the block length of PBA increased, from 0.93 GPa for P3HT to 0.19 GPa for P3HT-b-PBA(12k). The field effect transistor (FET) using P3HT-b-PBA as the active layer exhibited a high p-type mobility over 10(-2) cm(2) indicating its good charge transporting ability. Furthermore, the P3HT-b-PBA(6k) based FET under 100% strain had a high mobility of 2.5 X 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) with an on/off ratio of 7.2 X 10(6), and it maintained over 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for 1000 cycles, suggesting the promising stability and reproducbility. The result demonstrated that the newly designed conjugated rod coil block copolymers could have potential applications in stretchable electronic devices.

    This paper describes a novel synthetic approach for three- and four-armed cage-shaped polymers based on the topological conversion of the corresponding trefoil- and quatrefoil-shaped precursors. The trefoil- and quatrefoil-shaped polymers were synthesized by the following three reaction steps: (1) the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of butylene oxide using multiple hydroxy- and azido-functionalized initiators to produce the three- or four-armed star-shaped polymers possessing three or four azido groups at the focal point, respectively, (2) the omega-end modification to install a propargyl group at each chain end, and (3) the intramolecular multiple click cyclization of the clickable star-shaped precursors. The topological conversion from the trefoil- and quatrefoil-shaped polymers to the cage-shaped polymers was achieved by the catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl ether linkages that had been installed at the focal point. The amphiphilic cage-shaped block copolymers together with the corresponding trefoil- and quatrefoil-shaped counterparts were synthesized in a similar way using 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether as a hydrophilic monomer and decyl glycidyl ether as a hydrophobic monomer. Interestingly, significant changes in the critical micelle concentration and micellar morphology were observed for the amphiphilic block copolymers upon the topological conversion from the trefoil- and quatrefoil-shaped to cage-shaped architectures.

    Diblock copolymers consisting of electron-donating poly[2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)] (PF) rods and electron-withdrawing poly (pendent isoindigo) (Piso) coils were designed and synthesized through a click reaction. The electronic properties and interchain organization of the copolymers could be tuned by varying the PF/Piso ratio (PF14-b-Piso(n) (n= 10, 20, 60 and 100)). The highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of the studied polymers were progressively reduced as the length of Piso increased, affecting the charge trapping and intramolecular charge transfer environment between PF and Piso domains. Thermally treated PF14-b-Piso(n) thin films exhibited a clear nanofibrillar structure, and the d-spacing was enhanced systematically as the Piso chain length increased. Resistive memory characteristics were explored with a sandwich indium tin oxide/PF14-b-Piso(n)s/Al device configuration. The enhanced conjugated PF conducting channels led to stable resistance switching behavior, exhibiting volatile SRAM (static random access memory) (PF14-b-Piso(10)) and nonvolatile WORM (write-once-read-many-times) (PF14-b-Piso(20), PF14-b-Piso(60), PF14-b-Piso(100)) characteristics with a large ON/OFF ratio (10(6)) and a stable retention time (10(4) s). A more appealing feature is that such memory cells were integrated on a soft poly(dimethylsiloxane) substrate, allowing for the development of a stretchable data storage device. Reliable and reproducible electrical characteristics, including SRAM- and WORM-type memories, could be explored as the device was stretched under an applied tensile strain ranging from 0 to 50%. The studied donor-acceptor copolymers indeed showed great potential for stretchable electronic applications with controllable digital information storage characteristics.

    This paper describes the systematic investigation into the aqueous self-assembly of a series of block copolymers (BCPs) consisting of maltoheptaose (MH; as the A block) and poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL; as the B block), i.e., linear AB-type diblock copolymers with varied PCL molecular weights (MH-b-PC1-(2.5(k,3.3k,5k10k))), AB(y)-type = 2, MH-b(PCL5k) 2; y = 3, MH-b-(PCL3.3k)(3)), A(2)B(2)-type ((MH)(2)-b(PCL(5)k)(2)), and AxB-type miktoarm star polymers (x = 2, (MH)2-b-PCL10k; x = 3, (MH)(3)-b-PCLiok), which had been precisely synthesized via the combination of the living ring opening polymerization and click reaction. Under similar conditions, the nanoprecipitation method was employed to self -assemble them in an aqueous medium. Imaging and dynamic light scattering techniques indicated the successful formation of the carbohydrate -decorated nanoparticles via self -assembly. The MH-b-PCLs formed regular core shell micellar nanoparticles with the hydrodynamic "radius (Rh) of 17-43 nm. MH-b-(PCL5k)2 and MH-b-(PCL3.3k)(3), which have an NPCL comparable to MH-b-PCLiok, were found to form large compound micelles with relatively large radii (Rh of 49 and 56 nm, respectively). On the other hand, (MH),-b-(PCL5k),, (MH),-b-PCLiok, and (MH)3-bPCLiok predominantly formed the regular core shell micellar nanoparticles (Rh = 29-39 nm) with a size smaller than that of MH-b-PCLiok (Rh = 43 nm).

    Field-effect transistor memories usually require one additional charge storage layer between the gate contact and organic semiconductor channel. To avoid such complication, new donor-acceptor rod-coil diblock copolymers (P3HT(44)-b-Piso(n)) of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)-block-poly(pendent isoindigo) (Piso) are designed, which exhibit high performance transistor memory characteristics without additional charge storage layer. The P3HT and Piso blocks are acted as the charge transporting and storage elements, respectively. The prepared P3HT(44)-b-Piso(n) can be self-assembled into fibrillar-like nanostructures after the thermal annealing process, confirmed by atomic force microscopy and grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction. The lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital levels of the studied polymers are significantly lowered as the block length of Piso increases, leading to a stronger electron affinity as well as charge storage capability. The field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated from P3HT(44)-b-Piso(n) possess p-type mobilities up to 4.56 x 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 s(-1), similar to that of the regioregular P3HT. More interestingly, the FET memory devices fabricated from P3HT(44)-b-Piso(n) exhibit a memory window ranging from 26 to 79 V by manipulating the block length of Piso, and showed stable long-term data endurance. The results suggest that the FET characteristics and data storage capability can be effectively tuned simultaneously through donor/acceptor ratio and thin film morphology in the block copolymer system.

    A comprehensive set of amphiphilic star-shaped block copolyethers with a fixed molecular weight and composition was synthesized via the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ring opening polymerization (ROP) of 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether as a hydrophilic monomer and decyl glycidyl ether as a hydrophobic monomer. The three and four-armed star-block copolyethers, i.e., the (AB)(3)-, (BA)(3)-, (AB)(4)-, and (BA)(4)-type star-block copolyethers, where A and B represent hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks, respectively, were synthesized by the sequential t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed block copolymerization using tri- and tetra-alcohol initiators, respectively, according to the core-first method. The homogeneous growth of each arm was confirmed by cleaving the linkages between the initiator residue and polyether arms. The synthesis of the A(2)B(2)-, AB(2)-, and A(2)B-type miktoarm star copolyethers was achieved by the combination of the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ROP and azido-alkyne click chemistry. The azido- and ethynyl-functionalized precursor polyethers with the predicted molecular weights were separately prepared by the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ROP with the aid of functional initiators as well as a terminator. The intermolecular click reaction of the precursors provided the desired miktoarm star copolyethers. All the obtained star-shaped block copolyethers had a comparable monomer composition (degree of polymerization = 50:50) and total molecular weight (ca. 22 200 g mol(-1)) with a narrow dispersity (<1.05). The hydrodynamic diameter and the cloud point analyses for the aqueous micellar solution of the amphiphilic star-shaped block copolyethers revealed that the self-assembly properties were affected by the block arrangements and branched architectures of the amphiphilic polymers.

    © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016.We report the synthesis, morphology, and field effect transistor memory application of maltoheptaose-based block copolymers, maltoheptaose-block-poly(1-pyrenylmethyl methacrylate) (MH-b-PPyMA), and their supramolecules with (4-pyridyl)-acceptor-(4-pyridyl), MH(4Py-Acceptor-4Py)x-b-PPyMA. MH-b-PPyMA was prepared by the combination of the t-Bu-P4-catalyzed group transfer polymerization and the Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. After the thermal annealing process, the MH-b-PPyMA bulk sample underwent microphase separation to form the sub-10 nm periodic self-assembled nanostructure. The self-assembled morphologies transform from the hexagonal cylinder packing to the body-centered cubic sphere arrangement and the disordered spherical nanodomain with the increase of the PPyMA segment length. On the contrary, only the spherical nanodomain was observed in the thermo-annealed thin film samples of both MH-b-PPyMA and MH(4Py-Acceptor-4Py)x-b-PPyMA. The electrical characteristics of the p-type pentacene-based OFET memory device were studied using the thermo-annealed polymer thin film as the electret layer. The MH(4Py-Acceptor-4Py)x-b-PPyMA-based organic field effect transistor (OFET) devices had the high hole mobility of 0.20-1.08 cm2 V-1 s-1 and the ON/OFF current (ION/IOFF) ratio of 107-108, in which the acceptor of the benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (BT) based device possessed the higher hole mobility than that of the isoindigo-based one due to the more ordered packing pentacene crystals. The memory window (ΔVTH) of the supramolecule-based device was increased with enhancing the 4Py-Acceptor-4Py blending composition, and that of the MH(4Py-BT-4Py)1.5-b-PPyMA10-based device had the largest ΔVTH of ca. 9 V, a long-term retention time greater than 104 s and the high ION/IOFF memory ratio of 106-107 (reading at Vg = 0 V) for more than 100 programming/erasing cycles. Our results demonstrate that the bio-related block copolymers and their supramolecular thin film could be used as electret layers for high-performance nonvolatile flash green memory devices.

    A comprehensive examination of the synthesis of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) from statistical copolymers of n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and 3-butenyl methacrylate (3BMA), i.e., P(BMA-co-3BMA)s, via the intramolecular olefin metathesis reaction under high dilution conditions is described. The olefin metathesis reaction of P(BMA-co-3BMA) using Grubbs' 2nd generation catalyst in CH2Cl2 efficiently gave the corresponding SCNPs under mild conditions. We achieved the size-controlled synthesis of the SCNPs by adjusting the following factors: (1) the olefin content in the precursor, (2) the molecular weight of the precursor, and (3) the solvent quality of the reaction medium. The hydrodynamic radius and the intrinsic viscosity of the resultant SCNPs were investigated by DLS and viscometric measurements, respectively, which provided further evidence of SCNP formation with controlled diameters. Furthermore, the above-established intramolecular olefin metathesis approach was successfully applied to poly(acrylate), poly(styrene), and poly(ester) precursors, which proved that the present approach could be applied to a wide range of olefin-containing precursors to give SCNPs with various functional groups.

    Two series of crystalline-crystalline miktoarm star polymers were prepared and their thin film morphologies were investigated in detail by synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS): poly(n-hexyl isocyanate)(5000) poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (1-3)(17000) (PHIC(5k)-PCL1-3(17k)) and poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) (10000) poly(epsilon-caprolactone)(1-3)(10000) (PHIC(10k)-PCL1-3(10k)). In addition, their thermal properties were examined. All miktoarm star polymers revealed a two-step thermal degradation behavior where the PHIC arm was degraded first, followed by the PCL arm underwent degradation. Interestingly, all miktoarms were found to show a highly enhanced thermal stability, regardless of their molecular weight over 3k to 17k, which might be attributed to their one-end group capped with the counterpart arm(s) via arm-joint formation. Surprisingly, all miktoarm star polymers always developed only lamellar structure in toluene- and chloroform-annealed films via phase-separation, regardless of the length of PHIC arm as well as the length and number of PCL arm. Despite having highly imbalanced volume fractions, lamellar structure was constructed in the films of miktoarm star polymers through the override of volume fraction rule based on the rigid chain properties, self-assembling characteristics, conformational asymmetry, and compressibilities of PHIC and PCL arms. Furthermore, the orientation of such lamellar structures was controlled by the selection of either toluene or chloroform in the solvent-annealing process. The PHIC arm phases in the lamellar structures favorably formed a mixture of edge-on and face-on structures with fully extended backbone and bristle conformations even under the confined lamellar geometry and arm-joint. The PCL arm phases still crystallized, forming fringed-micelle like structures in which orthorhombic crystals were laterally grown along the in-plane direction of lamellae although their crystallization was somewhat suppressed by the confined lamellar geometry and arm-joint. Overall, crystalline-crystalline PHIC-PCL1-3 miktoarm polymers demonstrated very interesting but unusual, very complex hierarchical structures in the solvent-annealed thin films.

    The combination of t-Bu-P-4 and alcohol was found to be an excellent catalytic system for the controlled/living ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N,N-disubstituted glycidylamine derivatives, such as N,N-dibenzylglycidylamine (DBGA), N-benzyl-N-methylglycidylamine, N-glycidylmorpholine, and N,N-bis(2-methoxyethyl)glycidylamine, to give well-defined polyethers having various pendant tertiary amino groups with predictable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (typically M-w/M-n, < 1.2). The tBu-P-4-catalyzed ROP of these monomers in toluene at room temperature proceeded in a living manner, which was confirmed by a MALDI-TOF MS analysis, kinetic measurement, and postpolymerization experiment. The well-controlled nature of the present system enabled the production of the block copolymers composed of the glycidylamine monomers. The polyethers having pendant primary and secondary amino groups, i.e., poly(glycidylamine) and poly(glycidylmethylamine), respectively, were readily obtained by the debenzylation of poly(DBGA) and poly(BMGA), respectively, through the treatment with Pd/C in THF/MeOH under a hydrogen atmosphere. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first example of the controlled/living polymerization of glycidylamine derivatives, providing a rapid and comprehensive access to the polyethers having primary, secondary, and tertiary amino groups.

    The present paper describes the sub-10 nm scale self-assembly of AB-type diblock, ABA-type triblock, and A(2)B-type miktoarm star copolymers consisting of maltoheptaose (MH: A block) and polystyrene (PS: B block). These block copolymers (BCPs) were synthesized through coupling of end-functionalized MH and PS moieties. Small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscope investigations indicated self-organized cylindrical and lamellar structures in the BCP bulks and thin films with domain spacing (d) ranging from 7.65 to 10.6 nm depending on the volume fraction of MH block (phi(MH)), Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (chi), and degree of polymerization (N). The BCP architecture also governed the morphology of the BCPs, e.g. the AB-type diblock copolymer (phi(MH) = 0.42), the ABA-type triblock copolymer (phi(MH) = 0.40), and the A2B-type miktoarm star copolymer (phi(MH) = 0.45) self-organized into cylinder (d = 7.65 nm), lamellar (d = 8.41 nm), and lamellar (d = 9.21 nm) structures, respectively.

    This comprehensive paper describes the anionic ring-opening polymerization of substituted epoxides using a phosphazene base catalyst, t-Bu-P-4, and its application for the synthesis of architecturally complex polyethers. The t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ROP of 1,2-butylene oxide (BO) produced the poly(BO) having the predicted molecular weight and narrow polydispersity. The kinetic analysis revealed that the ROP system proceeded in a living manner. The t-Bu-P(4)catalyzed ROP was then applied to the polymerization of various epoxides having a variety of side chains, e.g. styrene oxide. The synthesis of star-shaped polyethers was achieved by the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ROP using polyols as an initiator. The syntheses of cyclic-, figure-eight-shaped, and tadpole-shaped polyethers were also achieved via the intramolecular click reaction of the well-defined linear precursors bearing azido and ethynyl functions at designed positions.

    The present study describes the alpha- and omega-end-functionalization of poly(methyl methacrylate)s (PMMAs) by organocatalyzed group transfer polymerization (GTP) using both functional silyl ketene acetal (SKA) initiators and alpha-phenylacrylate terminators. The syntheses of structurally defect-free alpha-end-functionalized PMMAs with hydroxyl, ethynyl, vinyl, and norbornenyl groups (HO-PMMA, HC C-PMMA, H2C CH-PMMA, and NB-PMMA, respectively) were achieved by either the N-(trimethylsilyl)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide-( Me3SiNTf2-) or t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed GTP of MMA using functional trimethyl SKAs (1a-1d). On the other hand, the omega-end-functionalized PMMAs with ethynyl, hydroxyl, vinyl, and bromo groups (PMMA-C CH, PMMA-OH, PMMA-CH CH2, and PMMA-Br, respectively) were for the first time obtained by the Me3SiNTf2-catalyzed GTP of MMA followed by a termination reaction using functional alpha-phenylacrylates (2a-2d). All the polymerizations produced end-functionalized PMMAs with controlled molar masses, narrow dispersities, and defect-free polymer structures as designed. The quantitative incorporation of functionalities into the alpha- or omega-end of the PMMAs was confirmed by the H-1 NMR and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) measurements.

    The ring-opening polymerizations (ROPs) of epsilon-caprolactone (epsilon-CL), delta-valerolactone, 1,5-dioxepan-2-one, trimethylene carbonate, and L-lactide were performed in the bulk using an organophosphate, such as diphenyl phosphate, bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate, and di(2,6-xylyl)phosphate, as the catalyst. The ROPs proceeded in a well-controlled manner even under the bulk conditions to afford well-defined aliphatic polyesters, polyester-ether, and polycarbonate with relatively low dispersities. Notably, the amount of the loaded catalyst was successfully reduced when compared to the conventional organophosphate-catalyzed ROP in solution. A kinetic study revealed the controlled/living nature of the present bulk ROP system, which allowed us to produce the block copolymers composed of polyesters, polyester-ether, and polycarbonate in one pot. Syntheses of the end-functionalized poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s (PCLs) and poly(trimethylene carbonate) were successfully demonstrated using alcohol initiators possessing highly reactive functional groups. Furthermore, the alpha,beta-dihydroxy telechelic PCL-diol as well as the three-and fourarmed star-shaped PCL-polyols were also easily obtained by using the polyols as an initiator. Finally, the one-pot synthesis of polyurethane via the ROP of epsilon-CL and a subsequent urethane forming reaction was demonstrated by taking advantage of the dual catalytic abilities of the organophosphate for both the ROP and polyurethane synthesis.

    A series of rod-coil miktoarm star copolymers consisting of poly[2,7-(9,9-dihexylfluorene)] (PF) and polylactide (PLA) arms as the rod and coil segments, respectively, were synthesized by combining the chain-growth Suzuki-Miyaura coupling polymerization and living ring-opening polymerization (ROP). First, PFs having a hydroxyl group at the alpha-chain end (PF-BnOH) were prepared by the polymerization of 2-(7-bromo-9,9-dihexyl-9H-fluorene-2-yl) 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,2,3-dioxaborolane using the initiating system of 4-(tetrahydropyran-2'-yloxymethyl)-iodobenzene/Pd-2(dba)(3)/t-Bu3P. After a couple of chain end modifications, PFs having one, two, and three hydroxyl groups at the alpha-chain end (PF-OH, PF-(OH)(2), and PF-(OH)(3), respectively) were obtained with dispersity (D) values of less than 1.29. The obtained PF-OH, PF-(OH)(2), and PF-(OH)(3) were used as the initiators for the organic base-catalyzed ROP of rac-lactide to produce the AB type linear diblock (PF-b-PLA) and AB(2) and AB(3) type miktoarm star copolymers (PF-b-(PLA)(2) and PF-b-(PLA)(3), respectively). The self-assembled nanostructures in the thermally-annealed PF-b-(PLA)(x)s (x = 1, 2, and 3) were evaluated in the bulk by synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The PF-b-PLA, PF-b-(PLA)(2), and PF-b-(PLA)(3) with the PF weight fractions of 0.52-0.56 were found to form poorly ordered PLA cylindrical structures in the PF matrix due to a strong rod-rod interaction of the PF segment. On the other hand, these BCPs with the PF weight fractions of 0.22-0.23 exhibited the hexagonally close-packed cylinder (Hex) morphologies, in which the cylindrical PF phase was embedded in the PLA matrix. More interestingly, the domain-spacing (d) values for the Hex morphologies decreased with the increasing PLA arm number despite each BCP having a comparable molecular weight and PF weight fraction: d = 26.4 nm for PF-b-PLA, d = 21.7 nm for PF-b-(PLA)(2), and d = 18.6 nm for PF-b-(PLA)(3).

    A series of miktoarm star polymers, [poly(n-hexyl isocyanate)(12K)][poly(epsilon-caprolactone)(13)(5K)] (PHICPCL13) (composed of a rigid self-assembling PHIC arm and one to three flexible crystallizable PCL arms), were investigated to examine the polymers thermal properties and nanoscale thin film morphologies. The miktoarm polymers were stable up to 180 degrees C. The PHIC and PCL arm components underwent phase separation during the solution casting, drying, and post toluene-annealing processes, forming interesting but very complex thin film morphologies. The resulting thin film morphologies were examined in detail for the first time using synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS) measurements and quantitative data analysis. All of the miktoarm star polymer films formed vertically well-oriented lamellar structures, regardless of the number and length of PCL arms. These structures were quite different from the cylindrical structures commonly observed in conventional flexible diblock copolymer films having comparable volume fractions. The individual PHIC and PCL lamellar domains self-assembled to form their own respective morphological structures. The PHIC lamellae consisted of a mixture of horizontal and vertical multibilayer structure domains, as observed in the PHIC homopolymer film. The PCL lamellae formed fringed micelle-like crystals and/or highly imperfect folded crystals that differed significantly from the structures found in a PCL homopolymer film composed of typical folded lamellar crystals. These PCL crystals were formed with a mixture of vertical and horizontal orthorhombic lattices. Overall, the GIXS analysis revealed that the parameters that characterized the hierarchical structures in the thin films depended significantly on the number and length of the PCL arm and its crystallization characteristics as well as the chain rigidity and multibilayer structure formation characteristics of the PHIC arm.

    The nanoscale thin film morphologies of a series of interesting miktoarm star polymers composed of a highly rigid and crystallizable poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC) arm and one to three flexible and crystallizable poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) arms were investigated using synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray scattering methods. Nanoscale thin films of a PHIC and a PCL homopolymer were also characterized for comparison. The PCL homopolymer and star polymers formed horizontally oriented lamellar structures in toluene-annealed films. The horizontal lamellar structures formed in the miktoarm star polymer films were quite different from those observed in common flexible block copolymer specimens. Interestingly, the structural parameters associated with the star polymer films were significantly influenced by the exceptional rigidity of the PHIC arm chain and by the number and length of the PCL arms. This study demonstrated that a miktoarm star polymer system consisting of rigid and crystallizable arms could form thin films with a morphology that is suitable for specific target applications.

    Random and block copolymerizations of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(d-lactide) (PDLA) macromonomers having an exo-norbornene group at the alpha- or pi-chain end (D/L ratio = 1/1, M-n = ca. 5000 g mol(-1)) were performed via ring-opening metathesis polymerization to produce the brush random and block copolymers consisting of parallel or antiparallel aligned PLLA and PDLA side chains on a poly(norbornene) backbone. The molecular weight and polydispersity index of the brush copolymers were in the range of 40 300-458 000 g mol(-1) and 1.031.14, respectively. Despite such high molecular weights, these brush copolymers formed a stereocomplex without homochiral crystallization. The melting temperature (T-m) and crystallinity (X) of the resulting stereocomplex varied depending on the backbone length, relative chain direction, and distribution of the PLLA/PDLA side chains. The parallel brush copolymers showed significantly higher T-m and X values than the antiparallel ones.

    This paper describes the synthesis of systematic sets of figure-eight- and tadpole-shaped amphiphilic block copolyethers (BCPs) consisting of poly(decyl glycidyl ether) and poly[2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether], together with the corresponding cyclic counterparts, via combination of the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and click cyclization. The clickable linear BCP precursors, with precisely controlled azido and ethynyl group placements as well as a fixed molecular weight and monomer composition (degree of polymerization for each block was adjusted to be around 50), were prepared by the t-Bu-P-4-catalyzed ROP with the aid of functional initiators and terminators. The click cyclization of the precursors under highly diluted conditions produced a series of cyclic, figure-eight-, and tadpole-shaped BCPs with narrow molecular weight distributions of less than 1.06. Preliminary studies of the BCPs self-assembly in water revealed the significant variation in their cloud points depending on the BCP architecture, though there were small architectural effects on their critical micelle concentration and morphology of the aggregates.

    The synthesis of star-shaped polylactides (PLAs) having both poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) arms in one molecule, i.e., stereo-miktoarm star-shaped PLAs, is described. The azido-functionalized PDLAs and ethynyl-functionalized PLLA possessing linear and two- and three-branched structures were prepared by the ring-opening polymerization of D-lactide and L-lactide using azido- or ethynyl-functionalized initiators. The number-average molecular weights (M(n,NMR)s) of the PLAs were ca. 5000 g, mol(-1) with narrow molecular weight distributions (M-w/M(n)s) of less than 1.18. The click reaction of the azido-functionalized PDLAs and the ethynyl-functionalized PLLAs using the copper(I) bromide/N,N,N',N '',N ''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine catalyst in a mixed solvent of dichloromethane/1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (14/1, v/v) gave a linear stereoblock PLA as well as 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-armed stereo-miktoarm star-shaped PLAs with M(n,NMR)s of ca. 10 000 g mol(-1) and M-w/M(n)s of less than 1.16. The wide-angle X-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry measurements proved that these stereo-miktoarm star-shaped PLAs formed stereocomplex crystals without any trace of homochiral crystallization.

    Three different self-assembled nanostructures, i.e., lamellar (Lam), hexagonally close-packed cylinder (Hex), and body-centered cubic (BCC), have been obtained from ABA triblock (MH-b-PCL-b-MH) and A(2)B star-branched copolymers ((MH)(2)-b-PCL) consisting of maltoheptaose (MH, as the A block) and polycaprolactone (PCL, as the B block). MH-b-PCL-b-MH and(MH)(2)-b-PCL were synthesized by the click reaction of the alpha,omega-diazido and alpha,alpha-diazido end-functionalized PCLs with N-maltoheptaosyl-3-acetamido-1-propyne in high yields. The self-assembled nanostructures of the block copolymers (BCPs) in bulk were investigated as a function of temperature by time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering using a synchrotron light source. The SAXS analysis revealed that the obtained BCPs exhibited microphase-separated structures with the domain-spacing of 10.4-21.0 nm. MH-b-PCL-b-MH (the MH volume fraction (phi(MH)) of 0.28 and 0.15) exhibited a hexagonally close-packed cylinder (Hex) at below ca. 230 degrees C, and the self-assembling behavior of MH-b-PCL-b-MH was essentially the same as that of the diblock counterpart, MH-b-PCL, having comparable phi(MH) values. The lamellar (Lam) morphology, which was unattainable from the corresponding linear counterparts, was observed from (MH)(2)-b-PCL (phi(MH) = 0.27 and 0.16). Furthermore, the microphase transitions from the Hex into the body-centered cubic sphere and the Lam into the Hex were observed upon the thermal caramelization of the MH block.

    The synthesis of well-defined four-armed star-shaped poly(butylene oxide) and figure-eight-shaped poly(butylene oxide)s (s-PBO and 8-PBO, respectively) with predicted molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (Mw/Mns) was achieved by the t-Bu-P4-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of butylene oxide (BO). The t-Bu-P 4-catalyzed ROP of BO using 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramethanol as the initiator produced s-PBOs having number-average molecular weights (M n,NMRs) ranging from ca. 4000 to 12 000 g mol-1 and narrow Mw/Mns of < 1.03. Cleavage of the linkage between the initiator residue and PBO arms in s-PBO provided evidence for the homogeneous growth of each arm during the polymerization. The synthesis of 8-PBO was carried out through three reaction steps including (1) the synthesis of a PBO possessing two azido groups at the chain center ((N3) 2-(PBO)2) by the ROP of BO using 2,2-bis((6-azidohexyloxy) methy)propane-1,3-diol as the initiator, (2) the introduction of an ethynyl group at the two ω-chain ends by etherification using propargyl bromide to give the ω,ω′-diethynyl poly(butylene oxide) with two azido groups ((N3)2-(PBO-C≡CH)2), and (3) the intramolecular click cyclization of (N3)2-(PBO-C≡CH) 2 using the copper(I) bromide/N,N,N′,N″,N″- pentamethyldiethylenetriamine catalyst in DMF under high dilution conditions. Size exclusion chromatography, FT-IR, and 1H NMR measurements confirmed that the click reaction proceeded in an intramolecular fashion to give 8-PBOs having Mn,NMRs ranging from ca. 3000 to 12 000 g mol -1 and narrow Mw/Mns of < 1.06. The viscosity property of s-PBO and 8-PBO was evaluated together with linear and cyclic PBOs (l-PBO and c-PBO, respectively). The intrinsic viscosity ([η]) of l-PBO, c-PBO, s-PBO, and 8-PBO decreased in the order of l-PBO > s-PBO > c-PBO > 8-PBO. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

The syntheses of MHb-(PCL)(2) and MH-b-(PCL)(3) were carried out through two reaction steps: (1) preparation of linear and three-branched PCLs bearing an azido group on the chain center (N-3-(PCL)(2) and N-3-(PCL)(3)) by the diphenyl phosphate-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (epsilon-CL) using azido-functionalized di- and triols (N-3-(OH)(2) and N-3-(OH)(3)) as the initiators and (2) the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition of N-3-(PCL)(2) and N-3-(PCL)(3) with the ethynyl-functionalized MH. The miktoarm star copolymers having M-n for the PCL block of ca. 5000 (MH-b-(PCL2.5k)(2) and MH-b-(PCL1.7k)(3)) and 10 000 (MH-b-(PCL5k)(2) and MH-b-(PCL3.3k)(3)) were obtained with a very narrow polydispersity index of less than 1.05. Bulk samples of the four types of miktoarm star copolymers exhibited body centered cubic phases, as determined by small angle X-ray diffraction experiments. The domain spacing were determined to be 9.8 nm for MH-b-(PCL2.5k)(2), 8.8 nm for MH-b-(PCL1.7k)(3), 10.5 nm for MH-b-(PCL5k)(2), and 9.8 nm for MH-b-(PCL3.3k)(3), which were smaller than those of the corresponding linear diblock copolymers.

    To date, the feature size of microphase separation in block copolymers has been downsizing to 10 nm scale. However, morphological control for such a small feature is still a challenging task. The present Letter discusses a phase transition in a natural/synthetic "hybrid" block copolymer system based on an oligosaccharide and poly(e-caprolactone) via thermal annealing. Time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering investigation as a function of temperature indicated the phase transition from hexagonally close-packed cylinder to body-centered cubic at 10 am scale. Atomic force microscope images of the block copolymer thin films annealed at different temperatures clearly confirmed the existence of these morphologies. The driving force of this phase transition (from cylinder to cubic) is the change of volume fraction of the block copolymer due to thermal caramelization.

    The one-pot synthesis of a main chain-type polyrotaxane composed of axle molecules threaded through the macrocyclic units on the polymer main chain was achieved via the combination of cyclopolymerization and clipping procedures. The cyclopolymerization of an a, x-diethynyl monomer bearing an isophthalamide moiety (1), which clips onto an axle component bearing a pyridiniumdicarboxamide moiety (2 center dot Cl) through a chloride anion was carried out in chloroform with the monomer concentration of 0.06 mol L-1 at 40 degrees C using [Rh(nbd)Cl](2)/Et3N as a catalyst to afford a gel-free polymer. The resulting polymer was assigned to the main chain-type polyrotaxane with a poly(phenylacetylene) backbone (poly-3 center dot Cl) based on size exclusion chromatography and H-1 NMR measurements. The diffusion-order two-dimensional NMR and circular dichroism spectra provided definitive proof of the rotaxaned architecture in the polymer. The mole fraction of the rotaxane unit in the total cyclic repeating unit was determined to be 26.3%. (C) 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 49: 3184-3192, 2011

    本研究は、日仏台の3か国共同体制によって、糖鎖をバイオベース原料ならびに機能発現部位として活用することで、高強度・高靭性バイオベース高分子材料を創出することを目的としている。今年度は下記の3点について重点的に検討を進めた。 ①糖鎖ブロックの合成検討：バイオベース高分子の根幹となる糖鎖ブロックの合成検討を行った。糖鎖としてセルロースを選択し、酵素合成法によって還元末端に反応性基（プロパルギル基）を導入した低分子量セルロースを精密合成した。材料物性と生分解性の両立を目指し、得られた末端官能基化セルロースを様々なアセチル化条件に付すことで置換度を制御した末端官能基化アセチルセルロースの合成に成功した。 ②糖鎖ベースエラストマーの合成：各置換度のアセチルセルロースを両末端アジド化ポリデカノラクトンとクリック反応させることで、ハード-b-ソフト-b-ハード型のトリブロック共重合体を合成した。得られたブロック共重合体は糖鎖とポリデカノラクトン間でミクロ相分離し、置換度の減少とともにより規則的なミクロ相分離構造を形成することを見出した。引張試験を行った結果、柔らかく伸びる性質が確認され、セルロースベースのエラストマー材料の開発に成功した。 ③相溶化剤としての応用：また、上記で得た酢酸セルロースを用いることで、ポリカプロラクトンと酢酸セルロースからなるブロック共重合体を合成した。これを酢酸セルロースとポリカプロラクトンからなるブレンドに添加すると、柔らかいポリデカノラクトンドメインの相溶化により破断伸びを向上させることに成功した。 以上に加えて、海外共同研究者であるBorsali（フランス）、Chen（台湾）およびChiu（台湾）らそれぞれとオンラインミーティングを開催した。本研究プロジェクトに関する進捗状況や今後の研究方針、来年度以降の渡航スケジュールなどについてオンラインで議論を行った。

    本研究では、単分散ブロック共重合体（BCP）の自己組織化により各種工学的応用に求められる非対称ラメラ構造やネットワーク状相分離構造などの非古典的ミクロ相分離構造を10 nm以下の超微細領域で発現・制御することを目的としている。さらに、この成果を基礎とすることで、既存BCPでは実現できなかった半導体回路パターンの構築やナノポーラス材料の精密構造制御などに応用することを最終目標とする。今年度は、下記の二点について重点的に検討を行った。 ①ネットワーク状相分離構造の構築：昨年度までに、オリゴ糖とテルペノイドからなる単分散BCPがネットワーク状相分離構造を形成することを見出した。本年度はネットワーク構造と分子構造の相関を深く理解するため、ブロック間をつなぐリンカー構造や炭化水素部のキラリティーの影響に着目した。リンカー部分をこれまでの脂肪族炭化水素からベンゼン環に置き換えたところ、より広い温度範囲でHPLを形成できることが分かった。さらに、炭化水素部位のキラリティーの影響を検証した結果、バルク中での自己組織化には大きな影響は見られないものの、薄膜中ではラセミ体よりも光学活性体のほうが高度に配向制御されたジャイロイド構造を導くことを見出した。 ②ナノポーラス材料合成への応用：①の検討により、糖鎖含有BCPはネットワーク状相分離構造を構築するプラットフォームとして有用であることが判明した。この構造体をナノポーラス材料合成へ応用するため、糖鎖と無機高分子（低分子量PDMS）からなるBCPを新規に合成した。糖鎖体積分率を最適化することで、薄膜中において高度に配向制御されたジャイロイド構造の構築に成功した。このジャイロイド薄膜を反応性イオンエッチングすることで糖鎖ドメインを除去すると同時にPDMSドメインをシリカへと変換した。エッチング後の薄膜もジャイロイド構造を維持していることが確認できた。

    下記の研究を推進した。 （A) 電着樹脂含浸法を用いたラティス構造の製造法を開発、部材曲線化の効果の実証：これまでに、独自の炭素繊維強化樹脂（Carbon Fiber Reinfroced Plastic, 以下、CFRP)の製造方法である、電着樹脂含浸法の開発を進めてきた。今年度、この方法を適用したCFRP製ラティス構造の製作方法を確立するため、いくつかのラティス構造の試作試験を行った。電着樹脂含浸法は、ラティス構造を構成する部材が曲線状であっても容易に製作できることが大きな特長である。そのため、曲線部材を使った変形性が最大限に活用され、将来、有用と想定されるラティス構造として、航空機の主翼の骨組構造に着目し、検討した。 （B) セルロースナノファイバーによるCFRPの衝撃強度の向上とラティス構造への適用：CFRPの衝撃強度を向上させるため、まずは、添加するセルロースナノファイバーの長さや直径を変化させて、炭素繊維間に侵入させる試験を開始した。従来から言われているが、セルロースナノファイバーの長さや直径は、セルロースナノファイバーの分散評価とも関連性が大きい。そのため、現用のレーザー回折式の粒度分布分析装置を用いてセルロースナノファイバーの直径、長さを評価し、衝撃強度の評価に向けた基礎データを取得した。 （C）蓄熱性の計測手法、評価手法についての検討：蓄熱性CFRPの蓄熱量を向上させるためには、蓄熱性のみならず、熱伝導性を向上させ、蓄熱性CFRPの面内において、極力の広い範囲で蓄熱させる必要がある。そのため、表面の熱分布を精密に確認でき、かつ、断熱性を十分に確保する方法について検討を行った。
