Vanillin was selected to be the start material to produce new monomer called vanillin acrylate and abbreviated by (VA). It has been successfully investigated by 1H, 13C NMR, IR and UV and all results were in logic state. The next step was to synthetize three different thermo-responsive functional copolymers by incorporation of three different molar ratios of vanillin acrylate (10, 20, 30 mol%) with N-Isopropylacrylamide via free radical polymerization by AIBN as initiator in solution. All copolymers were deduced by 1NMR and IR and all showed the presence of aldehyde group. The copolymer was used for grafting of tryptophan and β-alanine through the chemical link between amino group and the active aldehyde group by click reactions to form Schiff’s base imine compounds. Moreover, polymers were also elucidated by 1HNMR, IR and UV, Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) was used for the molecular weight determination, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) for glass temperature of solid polymers, XRD for crystallinity. UV-vis Spectroscopy was used for the determination of phase separation or the lower critical solution temperature (Tc) of polymers solution not only in deionized water but in pH5 and pH11. The mount of conversation and linked amino acid was determined by UV-vis Spectroscopy.展开更多

PTAEIs were characterized and their properties such as solubility, thermal, mechanical, photophysical and metal ions adsorption were investigated. These polymers had weight average molar masses(Mw) in the range of 19100-26700 g/mol, exhibited excellent solubility in polar aprotic solvents and formed low-colored flexible thin films by solution casting method. They exhibited good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures(Tg) between 160 °C and 211 °C and 10% weight loss temperatures(T10%) in the range of 308-426 °C. Nanocomposites of PTAEIs with epoxide-terminated Fe3O4 showed that strong interfacial interaction between inorganic particles and the polymer matrix contributed to the enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. The photoluminescence intensity of the PTAEIs increased and the spectra red shifted with increasing Fe3O4 content. The PTAEIs and nanocomposites were tested for their extraction capability of metal ions from aqueous solutions either individually or in the mixture.展开更多

However, in most studies, only chain-end strategy was employed when using the di-addition feature of thiol-yne reaction, thus the in-chain di-addition strategy could endow us with a broader space to develop the synthesis of advanced polymers. Therefore, in this paper, the features of in-chain mono and di-addition were investigated when modifying the alkynefunctionalized polymers to prepare grafted polymers via thiol-yne click reaction. The results showed that it is almost impossible to obtain the in-chain di-adducts even under excess feeding of chain-end thiol-functionalized grafts, while only the in-chain mono-adducts could be obtained efficiently. Further researches investigated that the controlled grafting could be encountered when carrying out the thiol-yne click reaction between chain-end alkyne-functionalized polystyrenes and chain-end thiol-functionalized polystyrenes under proper feedings. Therefore, the effect of steric?hindrance might be the primary reason for the alternative grafting via thiol-yne click reaction between in-chain and chain-end alkyne-functionalized polymers.展开更多

There are relatively few reports on cyclic polymers, partly because of the more demanding synthetic procedures. In recent years, 'click' reaction, especially Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition(CuAAC), has been widely utilized in the synthesis of cyclic polymer materials because of its high efficiency and low susceptibility to side reactions. In this review, we will focus on three aspects:(1) Constructions of monocyclic polymer using CuAAC 'click' chemistry;(2) Formation of complex cyclic polymer topologies through CuAAC reactions;(3) Using CuAAC 'click' reaction in the precise synthesis of molecularly defined macrocycles. We believe that the CuAAC click reaction is playing an important role in the design and synthesis of functional cyclic polymers.展开更多
