Controlling the Supramolecular Polymerization of Donor-Acceptor π-Systems through Hydrogen Bond Intervention

Nair, Vishnu Sukumaran; Vedhanarayanan, Balaraman; Ajayaghosh, Ayyappanpillai

Supramolecular polymerization of donor-acceptor type molecules leads to mixed or self-sorted assemblies depending on the donor-acceptor strength and extent of noncovalent interactions between the components. Herein, we discuss how competing hydrogen bonding motifs control the supramolecular polymerization pathway of a two-component molecular π-system of oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPV-B and…

Effect of Drawing on the Electrical, Thermoelectrical, and Mechanical Properties of Wet-Spun PEDOT:PSS Fibers

Sarabia-Riquelme, Ruben; Shahi, Maryam; Brill, Joseph W.; Weisenberger, Matthew C.

New electrically conducting and mechanically robust fibers and yarns are needed as building blocks for emerging textile devices. In this work, we describe a continuous wet-spinning process for the fabrication of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) fibers with high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and moderate thermoelectric performance by…

Isothermal and non-isothermal cold crystallization of tetrabenzofluorene (TBF) molecules

Boopathi, A. A.; Sampath, Srinivasan; Narasimhaswamy, T.

Design and synthesis of tetrabenzofluorene (TBF) derivatives are carried out to investigate the isothermal and non-isothermal cold crystallization (CC) behavior by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The unprecedented CC exhibited by TBF molecules is examined by systematic modification of alkyl chain length (C8–C18 even carbons) on both sides of the…

Effect of Irradiation and Detection of Long-Lived Polyenyl Radicals in Highly Crystalline Ultra-High Molar Mass Polyethylene (UHMMPE) Fibers

Forster, Amanda L.; Tsinas, Zois; Al-Sheikhly, Mohamad

To improve properties such as thermal conductivity, low temperature thermal strain, and creep resistance of ultra-high molar mass polyethylene (UHMMPE) fibers, several researchers have previously undertaken efforts to crosslink these fibers using radiation. Ionizing radiation is commonly used to crosslink bulk UHMMPE in other applications, such as artificial joints. However,…

Ion transport, polarization and electro-responsive elelctrorheological effect of self-crosslinked poly(ionic liquid)s with different counterions

Liu, Yang; Zhao, Jia; He, Fang; Zheng, Chen; Lei, Qi; Zhao, Xiaopeng; Yin, Jianbo

Self-crosslinked bis(imidazolium)-based poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) containing different counterions (P, X = BF4−, PF6−, TfO−, TFSI−) are synthesized and the influence of counterions on electro-responsive electrorheological (ER) effect is studied in order to understand the structure-property relationship of crosslinked PIL-based ER system. It is found that the size and type of…

Restricting Effect of Solvent Aggregates on Distribution and Mobility of CuCl2 in Homogenous Catalysis

Wang, Yongtao; Wang, Guanqi; Yao, Jia; Li, Haoran

Extensive experimental and theoretical studies have proven the existence of solvent aggregates in alcohols, and some attempts have been made to explore the uneven distribution of solutes. Here, we studied the distribution and mobility of CuCl2 in 3-hexanol and ethanol and investigated the aerobic oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol under these systems.…

Topochemical polymerization of hierarchically ordered diacetylene monomers within the block copolymer domains

Krishnan, Deepthi; B, Amal Raj R.; Gowd, E. Bhoje

Integration of polymerizable small molecules within block copolymer based supramolecules provides a new strategy to generate functional materials. Herein we report hydrogen-bonding complexes of photopolymerizable 10,12-pentacosadyionic acid (PCDA) and polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP). We systematically investigate how annealing conditions affect the hierarchical ordering and…
