Micro/nanostructured polyaniline (PANI) has attracted agreat deal of interest in recent years because of its low cost, ease of preparation, unique chemical and physical properties controlled by the oxidation and protonation state, and excellent environmental stability. Therefore, the controlled synthesis, multifunctional properties created by a cooperation effect and applications of PANI micro/ nanostructures has become one of the hot topics in the area of nano-materials. In the review, the latest advances of synthesis, properties, and applications of the PANI micro/nanostucutures and related materials are presented based of our research achievements of polyaniline micro/nanostructures self-assembled by a template-free method.
摘要:Polymer solar cells (PSCs)are composed of a blend film (active layer) of a conjugated polymer donor and a fullerene derivative acceptor sandwiched between a transparent ITO positive electrode and a low workfunction metal negative electrode. PSCs have become the hot research field in recent years, due to their unique advantages of simple fabrication, low cost, light weight and capability to be fabricated into flexible devices. The present research focus is to improve their photovoltaic power conversion efficiency (PCE), and the key aspects for improving PCE are high efficiency photovoltaic materials. In this paper, I will mainly introduce the recent research progress of Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS) on the new conjugated polymer donor and fullerene derivative photovoltaic materials, including the donor materials of two-dimensional conjugated polymers with conjugated side chains, conjugated polymers with electron-withdrawing substituents for lower HOMO energy levels, D-A copolymer with broad absorption and lower HOMO energy levels, and the acceptor materials of indene-C60 bisadduct (ICBA) and indene-C70 bisadduct. The highest PCE of the PSCs based on the conjugated polymer donor materials reached 7.59 %, which is one of the highest efficiencies reported in literatures so for. The PSCs based on P3HT as donor and our ICBA as acceptor showed PCE higher than 7%, which is the highest efficiency for the PSCs based on P3HT.

摘要:Nanoscale functionalization for polymers is crucial to further understand essential correlation between polymer chain structure and macroscopic properties, which direct influence capability and trend to functionalize polymer materials. It is urgently required to further investigate physics and chemistry of the micro-process. Since2000, we have been focused on polymer composites micro-processing and physics and chemistry therein. Two representative macroscopic morphologies are mainly concerned: complex composite particles and nanoporous composite membrane. We have developed new template synthesis approaches to precisely control their macroscopic morphologies, meanwhile to assist a favorable growth and spatial distribution of desired components with soft matter (polymer gels or block copolymers) by specific interactions. The physics and chemistry during the micro-process has been elucidated.

摘要:Aliphatic polycarbonates (APC) have attracted considerable attention as an important class of biodegradable polymers for their favorable biodegradability, biocompatibility and mechanical properties. APC are generally synthesized by the following four methods: (1) reaction of aliphatic diols with phosgene, (2) ring-opening polymerization of cyclic carbonates, (3) polymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide, or(4) transesterification of dialkyl carbonates with aliphatic diols. Recently, there are lots of reports on synthesizing APC by methods(2) and(3), while there are not so many reports on method (4). This paper reviews the synthesis and application of APC, and the emphasis is placed on progress in synthesizing APC by transesterification.
摘要:Marine mussels secrete special adhesive proteins which have excellent adhesive property even underwater and can attach to almost all types of surfaces, including adhesion-resistant poly (tetrafluoroethylene)(PTFE).This special adhesive behavior has aroused great attention and shines light on preparation of under-water adhesives. Inspired by mussel, scientists and engineers have exploited numerous multi-functional and high-performance bio-mimic materials. In this paper, progress on the design of mussel inspired polymers including the synthesized polypeptides, adhesive groups grafted polymers and polydopamine has been reviewed, and the application of these bio-mimic polymers is also involved.
摘要:This article reviews the progress of internal and external donors used in the Ziegler-Natta catalysts for propylene polymerization. The internal donors include1, 3-diether, diol ester, butanedioic diester and 1-ether3-ketone compound. The external donors include mixture of external donors and silane containing N atoms. The requirement for cleanness of polypropylene is becoming higher and higher. The internal and external donors are not only required to prepare high performance Ziegler- Natta catalysts, but also are clean. Thus, this article also discusses the cleanness of the internal and external donors.
摘要:Ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted considerable attention and are widely used in the field of polymer science because of their negligible volatility, thermal stability, non-flammability, and high ionic conductivity. There is no a common theory or method defining the solvation of ILs like that of molecular solvents because of the complexity of the interactions between anion and cation of ILs. The compatibility of polymer and ILs can not be easily characterized using commonly accepted parameters. In order to address some primary rules behind the solubility phenomenon of polymers in ILs, the effects of different interactions between anion and cation on the solubility of different kinds of polymers in imidazolium ILs were discussed based on four interactions.

摘要:As the most abundant natural polymer on the earth, cellulose has many attractive properties such as renew ability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and bro ad chemical-modifying capacity. Cellulose has been considered as the sustainable raw material of energy and chemical engineering in the future. However, because of the well-developed intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding network, cellulose is unmeltable and insoluble in water or conventional organic solvents, which limits its wide utilization. More recently, it is found that certain ionic liquids (ILs) have excellent dissolving capability for cellulose, which provids a new and versatile plat form for cellulose processing and derivatization. A series of biopolymer-based materials, biomass energy, platform chemicals, and so on, have been produced with the aid of ILs. Based on about 210 relevant papers published during the past 10 years, this review article highlights recent progress in the field of dissolution, regeneration, derivatization, extraction and conversion of cellulose with ILs. In additon, a perspective on ILs application in cellulose chemistry in the future is briefly discussed. It is hoped that this review work will stimulate research and collaborations that will lead to significant progress in this area.
摘要:Simulation, theory and experiment are complementary and cross-validated, which enables us to understand the microscopic origins for the macroscopic phenomena. With the novel computational powers and advanced computational technologies, computer simulation has become a powerful and unique tool for polymer science, and played an important role in the optimal design of polymer materials and the study of structure-property relationships. Polymers are characterized by a broad range of length and time scales, their properties as well as functions are therefore not only dependent on the molecular species composing the systems but also significantly on their condensed states or phase morphologies. From this reason computer simulations appear as a natural choice for gaining such deep understanding on the structure-property relationship in different scales, acting as a key step for the future material design. However, to bridge these disparate scales in the multiscale modeling of polymers, it is required to develop strategies for perfecting the simulation methods at these different scales and also for linking these scales so that various levels of simulations are coupled and fed back into each other. Among these, developing a structurally and thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining approach to bridge the gap between atomistic and mesoscopic simulation is extremely urgent.

摘要:Specific topological-structured polymers have been a target of long-term pursuit in synthetic polymer chemistry. Among them, polyolefins with some specific topological structures (block, graft, comb, star, etc.) are of particular interest in that they represent an important promotion of polyolefins from commodity polymers with already large volume productions and widespread applications to value-added polymers with furthered properties and even expanded usages. Given the significant progress made in recent years on both polyolefin catalysts and polymerization methodologies, the development of topological poly olefins has also been at fast-pace, with some polymers already demonstrating unique, unprecedented functionalities. This review will at first describe the status quo of general topological polyolefins development, followed by an introduction to topological polyolefins research at ICCAS where the focus is on a new approach utilizing styryl-capped polyolefins as building block to construct versatile topological polyolefin architectures.
