Star Triblock Copolymer

A well-defined six-armed star triblock copolymer s-(PDEA62-b-PMMA195-b-PPEGMA47)6 was synthesized by the core-first ATRP method. The star triblock copolymer shows pH-tunable self-assembly behavior. Interestingly, the reversible vesicle–micelle transition could be achieved by simply adjusting the surrounding pH.

To date, amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) containing poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (P(VDF-co-HFP)) copolymers are rare. At moderate content of HFP, this fluorocopolymer remains semicrystalline and is able to crystallize. Amphiphilic BCPs, containing a P(VDF-co-HFP) segment could, thus be appealing for the preparation of self-assembled block copolymer morphologies through crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) in selective solvents. Here the synthesis, characterization by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopies, GPC, TGA, DSC, and XRD; and the self-assembly behavior of a P(VDF-co-HFP)-b-PEG-b-P(VDF-co-HFP) triblock copolymer were studied. The well-defined ABA amphiphilic fluorinated triblock copolymer was self-assembled into nano-objects by varying a series of key parameters such as the solvent and the non -solvent, the self-assembly protocols, and the temperature. A large range of morphologies such as spherical, square, rectangular, fiber-like, and platelet structures with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to micrometers was obtained depending on the self-assembly protocols and solvents systems used. The temperature-induced crystallization-driven self-assembly (TI-CDSA) protocol allowed some control over the shape and size of some of the morphologies.

A short-chain triblock copolymer EO9-DMS7-EO9 was synthesized by couplingreaction of allyl-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) and Si–H-terminatedpoly(dimethylsiloxane). The structure and purity of synthesized copolymer wascarefully characterized. Self-assembly behavior of EO9-DMS7-EO9 triblockcopolymer in water was investigated. And it was found that along with theincrease of copolymer concentration, morphology of self-assembled aggregatestransits from sphere to rod. A plausible understanding of the morphologytransition for the investigated triblock copolymer was proposed
