RAFT polymerization-induced self-assembly of semifluorinated liquid-crystalline block copolymers
Abstract: It is a major challenge to prepare commercially viable scale semifluorinated liquid-crystalline block copolymers (SEFL-BCPs) using solution processing techniques. The technology of selectively solvating one block in a suitable solvent to realize self-assembly provides a promising route for the preparation of core-corona block polymer materials with extensive potential applications. However, considerable limitations have been discovered after much practice. BCP assemblies often require a separate synthesis step and are performed at high dilution. Herein, a one-pot approach combining polymerization-induced and crystallization-driven self-assembly (PISA-CDSA) was used to obtain well-defined, precise compositions of SEFL-BCPs. It is first synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer ethanol dispersion polymerization between 1H,1H,2H,2H-heptadecafluorodecyl acrylate and poly (N,N-dimethylacrylamide) at a concentration up to 20% v/v. Various morphologies, including 1D fiber-like micelles, 2D lamellar structures, and fusion structures, were first observed via transmission electron microscopy. This scalable PISA-CDSA strategy is greatly expanding the morphology scope and applicability of the polymer liquid crystal materials science field.
