Coil-rod copolymers with a dendritic polyethylene (DPE) core and multiple helical poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) arms (DPE-(PBLG)) were prepared by palladium-catalyzed copolymerization in tandem with ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Macroinitiator (DPE-(NH)) was firstly prepared by the group transformation of DPE-(OH) generated from palladium-catalyzed copolymerization of ethylene and acrylate comonomer. Coil-helical DPE-(PBLG) copolymers were prepared by ROP of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride (BLG-NCA). These DPE-(PBLG) copolymers could form thermoreversible gels in toluene solvent, and the dendritic topology of the DPE core increased the critical gelation concentrations. The self-assembled nanostructure of gels was fully characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), and the morphology of the fibrous structure was a twisted flat ribbon through a self-assembled nanoribbon mechanism. The self-assembled fibers formed by DPE-(PBLG) are more heterogeneous and ramified than previously observed fibers formed by PBLG homopolymer and block copolymers.
通过钯催化共聚与开环聚合(ROP)串联制备了具有树枝状聚乙烯(DPE)核和多个螺旋状聚(γ-苄基-L-谷氨酸)(PBLG)臂的线圈-棒状共聚物(DPE-(PBLG))。首先通过乙烯与丙烯酸酯共聚单体钯催化共聚生成的DPE-(OH)的基团转化制备了大分子引发剂(DPE-(NH))。通过γ-苄基-L-谷氨酸-N-羧酸酐(BLG-NCA)的ROP制备了线圈-螺旋状DPE-(PBLG)共聚物。这些DPE-(PBLG)共聚物可在甲苯溶剂中形成热可逆凝胶,且DPE核的树枝状拓扑结构提高了临界凝胶浓度。通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)、小角X射线散射(SAXS)和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)对凝胶的自组装纳米结构进行了全面表征,纤维结构的形态是通过自组装纳米带机制形成的扭曲扁平带。由DPE-(PBLG)形成的自组装纤维比先前观察到的由PBLG均聚物和嵌段共聚物形成的纤维更不均匀且有分支。
