Although the behavior of single chains is integral to the foundation of polymer science, a clear and convincing image of single chains in the solid state has still not been captured. For bottlebrush polymers, understanding their conformation in bulk materials is especially important because their extended backbones may explain their self-assembly and mechanical properties that have been attractive for many applications. Here, single-bottlebrush chains are visualized using single-molecule localization microscopy to study their conformations in a polymer melt composed of linear polymers. By observing bottlebrush polymers with different side chain lengths and grafting densities, we observe the relationship between molecular architecture and conformation. We show that bottlebrushes are significantly more rigid in the solid state than previously measured in solution, and the scaling relationships between persistence length and side chain length deviate from those predicted by theory and simulation. We discuss these discrepancies using mechanisms inspired by polymer-grafted nanoparticles, a conceptually similar system. Our work provides a platform for visualizing single-polymer chains in an environment made up entirely of other polymers, which could answer a number of open questions in polymer science.

And Performance

The design, synthesis, properties, and performance of a new class of promesogenic calamitic side-tethering organic ligands used to direct quantum dot nanoparticle self-assembly via nematic templating are described. This work was motivated by inadequate modularity, step count, and yield associated with syntheses of existing ligands. Attaching the new ligands to quantum dots and dispersing them in a liquid crystal host affords hollow micron-sized capsules via nematic templating. The capsules resist thermal decomposition up to 350 °C — significantly higher than any previously reported microcapsules assembled from side-tethering calamitic ligand-functionalized nanoparticle. Evaluation of the capsules by small-angle X-ray scattering shows that interparticle spacing varies from 10–13 nm depending on the ligand used, and is correlated to aminoalkyl chain length.
