摘要:Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most extensively studied "living"/controlled radical polymerization (CRP) methods, not only owing to its simple, mild reaction conditions and broad applicability, but also it can be easily applied to produce polymeric materials with well-defined structure. In order to well understand and control the polymerization process, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive kinetic model for ATRP and coupling it with different reactor models, which can be useful for researchers to control over chain microstructure with predetermined molecular weight and narrow polydispersity, as well as copolymer composition and its composition distribution, and also optimize the polymerization conditions. This review illustrates the establishment of the appropriate ATRP kinetic model based on the theory of conventional free radical polymerization. Moreover, it also makes a comparison of the mechanism between "living"/controlled and conventional free radical polymerization examples in order to reveal the similarities and differences of the two methods within this field. In addition, we detail the research work concerning the kinetic modeling of ATRP, and more attention has been paid to analyze and summarize on the kinetic models from the point of different mathematical processing methods (method of moment, Monte Carlo simulation, and commercial software-PREDICI, GEPASI etc.).

摘要:In this paper, basic principle of neutron reflectivity techniques, used in the oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant systems, was introduced. On the basis of introduction of the interfacial behavior and the surface tension curve of the weak interaction system, the effect of the polymer concentration, electrolyte and the chain length of surfactant on the surface tension were analyzed. According to the data determined by the neutron reflectivity and the existence of the surface tension peak, the interfacial behavior, the types of surface tension plots and theoretical model for oppositely charged polyelectrolyte/surfactant systems were pointed out.
摘要:Chitosan is a natural polymer with amino and hydroxy groups. Hydrogels are cross-linked networks of hydrophilic polymers which can swell in water and retain large amounts of water without dissolving. "Intelligent" is a kind of characteristic that spontaneously responds to external stimuli. Chitosan-based intelligent hydrogels possess good biocompatibility and degradability which draws much attention of the researchers. The research progress of Chitosan-based intelligent hydrogels including pH sensitive, temperature sensitive and pH/temperature sensitive types were summarized in this article. The applications of the chitosan-based hydrogels in organization engineering and drug releasing were reviewed. Their future developments are discussed.

摘要:The occurrence, development and pathological changes of animal connective tissue are closely related to their structures and morphologies, and particularly the orderliness on the structure of tissue is apparent, liquid crystalline structures of collagen in connective tissue are a transition state that collagen molecules self-assemble into collagen fibers or tissue. Based on reconstituted collagen molecules, we have discussed that triple helical structure has an impact on collagen molecules assembling into liquid crystal, and have analyzed research progress on structural transformation of collagen molecular liquid crystal and super-molecular liquid crystal, as well as thermal and dynamic forming conditions. Inducing the formation of collagen liquid crystal is the key to simulate construction of the extracellular matrix in vitro. It not only established contact for studying the mechanisms of connective tissue morphogenesis and pathological process, but also provided useful information for building tissue engineering scaffolds.
摘要:Cellulose nanofibers combine in a very exciting manner important properties of cellulose with amazing features of nano-scale materials.While It’s difficult to prepare cellulose nanofibers by electrospinning directly because cellulose is seldom soluble in common solvents owing to considerable inter- and/or intra-molecular hydrogen bonding. However, it’s an effective method to prepare cellulose nanofibers using electrospun cellulose derivatives nanofiber followed by hydrolysis. This paper reviewes the development of preparing cellulose nanofibers through the two methods at home and abroad. The prospect of preparing cellulose nanofibers by electrospinning has also been described.

摘要:The synthesis of four new chiral liquid crystalline monomers (M1~M4) based on L-isoleucine derivative is described. The corresponding polymers (P1~P4) were prepared by graft polymerization of these monomers at dry toluene using chloroplatnic acid as a catalyst. The chemical structures of the obtained intermediate, chiral monomers and polymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The average molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography. The specific optical rotations were evaluated with a polarimeter. The experimental results showed that the specific optical rotations of M1~M4 were all right-handed, their values of specific rotation decreased with increasing rigidity. In addition, the monomers with near rigidity and same terminal groups, their specific rotation values hardly changed.
摘要:A tri-arm block copolymer, polyethylene glycol/tetrahydrofuran copolyether, was synthesized with tri-arm polyethylene glycol and tetrahydrofuran as main raw materials and boron trifluoride ether as catalyst by means of cationic ring-opening polymerization in this research. The effects of some factors such as reaction time, raw material ratio, dosages of catalyst and ring-opening assistant on the hydroxyl value of synthesized block copolyether were examined through orthogonal test. The better synthesis condition for tri-arm block copolyether with higher molecular weight was obtained. The synthesized copolyether was characterized through infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetism resonance test.
摘要:A α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) modified poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-α-CD) acting as the host-polymer and an azobenzene-branched polyacrylamide (PAM-Azo) acting as the guest-polymer were prepared. The interaction of PAA-α-CD with PAM-Azo was characterized by 1H NMR and 2D NOESY NMR spectroscopy. The 2D NOESY NMR spectroscopy indicate that trans-azobenzene (trans-Azo) units are bounded strongly within the cavities of PAA-α-CD whereas the cis-azobenzene (cis-Azo) is not bound at all. A supramolecular inclusion complex, formed by PAA-α-CD and PAM-Azo, is accompanied by the formation of a light-responsive hydrogel. Upon photoirradiation with UV light of 365nm, the hydrogel is converted efficiently to the sol phase because the trans-Azo units are converted photochemically to their cis configuratons, where upon the resulting cis-Azo units dissociation from PAA-α-CD. The hydrogel can be recovered from the sol phase by photoirradiation with visible light of 430nm.
