The Relationship

This study uses Raman spectroscopy to quantitate the amount of polymer in solution, in particular poly(ethylene glycol) dissolved in chloroform. For various chain lengths and polymer weight fraction ranges, it is shown that the ratios of peak intensities in the C–H stretching region may be used to quantitate polymer weight fraction with about 1% uncertainty. For low polymer weight fraction ranges (0–10%), the relationship between Raman intensity and polymer weight fraction is essentially linear, while at higher ranges (0–50%) the intensity follows a nonlinear function derived from basic concentration relationships and indicates a universal scaling with polymer chain length.

Through inclusion of different polymer chains with different properties into polyurethane matrix, such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), or poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMG), degradable polyurethane foams (PUFs) with different molecular structure were prepared. Influences of molecular structure on PUF materials’ performance were studied systematically. When PEG, PCL, PLA, and PTMG serve as soft segment, PUFs’ storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of PUFs decrease with following order: PLA>PCL>PEG>PTMG (flexibility of PUFs varies oppositely). And degradability decreases according to following order: PEG>PLA>PCL>PTMG. With increasing content of PEG or PLA chains in PU matrix, mechanical performance of PUFs decrease gradually, but remains on the same order with conventional non-degradable PUFs. Through control on the contents of different kinds of polymer chains in soft segments of PUFs, fairly good degradability can be achieved, at whilst their basic mechanical performance is well guaranteed.

Powerful Strategy

<p>Given the ubiquity of C–H bonds in biomolecules and polymer backbones, the development of a photocontrolled polymerization from a C–H bond would represent a powerful strategy for selective polymer conjugation precluding several synthetic steps to introduce complex functionality. We have developed a hydrogen-atom abstraction strategy that allows for a controlled polymerization from a C­–H bond using a benzophenone photocatalyst, a trithiocarbonate-derived disulfide, and visible light. We perform the polymerization from a variety of ethers, alkanes, unactivated C–H bonds, and alcohols as well as showcase the applicability of the method to several monomer classes. Our method lends itself to photocontrol which has important implications for building advanced macromolecular architectures. Finally, we demonstrate that we can graft polymer chains controllably from poly(ethylene glycol) showcasing the potential application of this method for controlled grafting from C–H bonds of commodity polymers.</p>
