In this paper, the crystalline modification of a rare earth nucleating agent (WBG) for isotactic polypropylene (PP) based on its supramolecular self-assembly was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy. In addition, the relationship between the self-assembly structure of the nucleating agent and the crystalline structure, as well as the possible reason for the self-assembly behaviour, was further studied. The structure evolution of WBG showed that the self-assembly structure changed from a needle-like structure to a dendritic structure with increase in the content of WBG. When the content of WBG exceeded a critical value (0.4 wt%), it self-assembled into a strip structure. This revealed that the structure evolution of WBG contributed to the K β and the crystallization morphology of PP with different content of WBG. In addition, further studies implied that the behaviour of self-assembly was a liquid–solid transformation of WBG, followed by a liquid–liquid phase separation of molten isotactic PP and WBG. The formation of the self-assembly structure was based on the free molecules by hydrogen bond dissociation while being heated, followed by aggregation into another structure by hydrogen bond association while being cooled. Furthermore, self-assembly behaviour depends largely on the interaction between WBG themselves.

Self-assembly techniques have been demonstrated to be a useful approach to developing new functional nanomaterials. In this study, a novel method to fabricate a manganese phosphate self-assembly monolayer (SAM) on a hyperbranched polyester (HBPE-OH) nanoparticle surface is described. First, the second-generation aliphatic HBPE-OH was carboxy-terminated, phosphorylated, and then ionized with manganese by a three-step modification process. The final product of HBPE-AMPA-Mn2+ particles was obtained and characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Zeta potential, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, the HBPE-AMPA-Mn2+ particles were used to construct a novel biosensor for detection of superoxide anions (O2•−) released from HeLa cells. Results showed that the response currents of this biosensor were proportional to the O2•− concentration ranging from 0.79 to 16.6 μM, and provided an extremely low detection limit of 0.026 μM (S/N = 3). The results indicate that the particle-decorated electrode surface, which involved a hyperbranched structure and a surface self-assembly technology, proposed here will offer the ideal catalytic system for electrochemical enzymatic sensors.

Novel polymeric betaine based on tridecylaminocrotonate and methacrylic acid was synthesized by Michael addition reaction. The obtained products were abbreviated as CROtriDA-MAA and with respect to its potassium salt as CROtriDA-MAA-K. The structure of CROtriDA-MAA was established by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The hydrodynamic, molecular and conformational properties of CROtriDA-MAA-K in solutions and morphology in solid state were evaluated by methods of GPC, DLS, zeta-potential, surface enhanced ellipsoidal microscopy (SEEC), optical microscopy. Meanwhile, the long alkyl “tails” (tridecyl) located in side polymeric chains are responsible for self-assembling behavior. Several types of self-assembled structures in water at different pH and in water-DMSO mixture were observed. The dendritic structure with wide trunks and few side branches is formed at pH 3. The “Maltese cross-like” aggregates were found at pH 6.5. The tree-like fractal patterns are formed at pH 12. The self-assembled coiled-ribbon-like and tubular-like aggregates were observed in water-DMSO mixtures.
