The precise molecular engineering of amphiphilic diblock copolymers as thermoresponsive polymer ionic liquids (PILs) couples polyisobutylene (PIB) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) blocks via an imidazolium cation. It enables thermal switching micellar self-assembly yields nanostructured hydrogels. Just one liquid (IL)-type cation is readily incorporated into the backbone PIB–IL–PEtOx block by terminating cationic 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) ring-opening polymerization alkylation...
Despite the great interest in nanoconfined materials nowadays, nanocompartmentalized poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have been rarely investigated so far. Herein, we report on successful alkylation of poly(1-vinylimidazole) with methyl iodide bicontinuous nanophasic poly(1-vinylimidazole)-l-poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PVIm-l-PTHF) amphiphilic conetworks (APCNs) to obtain methylated PVImMe-l-PTHF liquid) (PIL-CNs). A high extent (~95%) was achieved via a simple process MeI at room temperature. This...
Endfunctional polymers possess significant industrial and scientific importance. Sulfonyl endgroups, such as tosyl nosyl endfunctionalities, due their ease of substitution are highly desired for a variety polymer structures. The sulfonylation hydroxyl-terminated polyisobutylene (PIB-OH), chemically thermally stable, biocompatible, fully saturated polymer, with chloride (TsCl) (NsCl) is presented in this study. PIB-OHs derived from commercial exo-olefin-ended PIB (PIBexo-OH) allyl-terminated...
