Supramolecular miktoarm stars (AB2 type) composed of poly (methyl methacrylate)-polystyrene2 (PMMA-PS2), poly(isoprene)-polystyrene2 (PI-PS2), and poly(vinyl acetate)-polystyrene2 (PVAc-PS2) were successfully synthesized by assembling reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-polymerized chains bearing hydrogen-bonding heterocomplementary associating units. To this end, thymine diaminopyridine-functionalized agents designed to efficiently mediate the polymerization vinyl...
We report an original strategy towards supramolecular assembly of reversible comb-shaped polymers in aqueous solution through β-cyclodextrin–adamantane (β-CD–Ada) host–guest inclusion. Ada-functionalized poly(acrylic acid) grafts were generated by RAFT polymerization mediated adamantane-α-functionalized agent. A β-CD-grafted backbone was obtained a two-step procedure: alkyne-functionalized backbones first trimethylsilyl propargyl methacrylate and subsequently converted host system CuAAC with...
We report an original strategy toward the straightforward preparation of precisely defined telechelic H-bonding polymers and generation supramolecular block copolymers thereof. Making use α,ω-functionalized symmetrical trithiocarbonate bearing thymine groups at both chain ends, a series heterocomplementary were effortlessly generated by RAFT polymerization in one step process. The resulting macromolecules selectively interacted with α-DAP-functionalized chains to afford solution bulk. These...
We describe an approach to ordered nanoporous poly(lactide) that relies on self-assembly of poly(butadiene)–poly(lactide) (PB–PLA) diblock copolymers followed by selective degradation PB using olefin metathesis. The block were obtained a combination anionic and ring-opening transesterification polymerizations. molar mass each was tailored target materials with either lamellar or cylindrical microphase-separated morphology. Orientation these nanoscale domains induced in thin films monolithic...
Polymer films with hierarchical micro- and nano-porosities were prepared by combining the fast solvent evaporation "Breath Figure" (BF) method, exhibiting a highly regular honeycomb micro-porous texture, additional nanoscale self-assembly of polylactide-block-polystyrene (PLA-b-PS) diblock copolymers, PLA being used thereafter as sacrificial component for nano-porosity.
Introduction: Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) techniques are rapidly evolving. We compared the results from a single-center implant IBR cohort between subpectoral and prepectoral implants with without mesh. Methods: analyzed all complications grade 2–3 complications, loss rate, surgery time, length of stay (LOS), patient satisfaction, interval time to adjuvant therapy cost, comparison IBR. Results: Subpectoral was carried out in 529 mastectomies (62.0%) 324, significant increase...
CDs linked to PDMS vaturally phase separate and hydrogen bond generate supramolecular elastomers.
A new facile fabrication approach to generate polymeric nanostructures is described. Block copolymers containing immiscible segments can self-assemble ordered nanostructures, such as cylinders of one block in a matrix the other bulk, which then be sectioned on nanoscale using microtome (nanoskiving). Dispersing these sections selective solvent for results nanocylinders. In example, we utilized poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-block-poly(styrene) (PDMA–PS) copolymer 36% by volume PS. This...
The ability of thymine to photodimerize has been exploited synthesize a reversibly chain-extendable polymer system. photopolymerization (>270 nm) α,ω-thymine functionalized poly(butyl acrylate) (Thy-PnBuA-Thy) oligomers was successfully carried out in the solid film state. These polymers were further depolymerized by using shorter wavelength UV irradiation (<250 nm). studies demonstrate novel method linear based on photodimerization terminally oligomers.
