To develop membrane materials for gas separation, a series of semi-alicyclic polyimides was synthesized using one-step thermal solution imidization from an alicyclic dianhydride with non-planar twisted structure, 5-(2,5-dioxotetrahydrofuryl)-3-methyl-3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride (DOCDA). All synthesized polyimides exhibited amorphous structures and superior thermal stability, with high...
Nanoparticles with well-ordered structures have attracted great attention recently due to its potential application, including data storage media, microelectronics and sensors. Herein, we report a strategy of the periodic arrays of iron oxide nanoparticle with supramolecular thin films. The thin films of PS-b-P2VP/FAA supramolecules were solvent-vapor annealed with mixed solvent-vapor condition of...
Various failure modes derived from the electrochemical migration (ECM) through the dielectric polymer layers have been considered critical issues in the electronic devices. Herein, we for the first time suggested the rationally designed epoxy/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanocomposite materials for efficient suppression of copper ion migration based on the plausible reaction mechanisms...
For the design of the semiconductor packaging material, one of the most important challenges is to overcome the higher thermal expansion property of ‘organic’ epoxy composite than that of the ‘inorganic’ IC chip. Therefore, in order to prepare the epoxy composite with the ultra-low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), the new material class of epoxy, i.e., alkoxysilyl-functionalized novolac epoxy...
Seven linear amylose tris(n-octadecylcarbamate) (ATODC) samples ranging in the weight-average molar mass Mw from 2.4 × 104 to 1.5 × 106 g mol−1 and their seven cyclic analogues (cATODC) of which Mw are from 3.6 × 104 to 1.9 × 105 g mol−1 were prepared to characterize their conformation in tetrahydrohuran (THF), in 2-octanone (MHK), and in tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE). Light and small-angle X-ray...
Temperature-responsive hydrogels have been widely developed for biomedical applications. In this study, 4-benzyloxy-ε-caprolactone (CL-OBn) was synthesized and the subsequent ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) and CL-OBn monomers was performed by using the hydroxyl group of methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) in the presence of HCl·Et2O as a monomer activator. MPEG-b-poly (ε-caprolactone)...
A new diamine, bis(4-((4-aminophenyl)thio)phenyl)(phenyl)phosphine oxide (BATPO), containing phosphine oxide and thioether bonds was prepared via the Grignard reaction to dichlorophenylphosphine oxide with 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide, followed by an aromatic substitution reaction with 4-aminothiophenol. The polyimides (PIs) were synthesized by the conventional two-step polycondensation from several...
The nature of the inelastic-deformation characteristics of highly-crosslinked epoxy polymers has been understood at the microscopic level and in consideration of the structural network-topology differences. The structural differences that arise from different types of curing agents (aliphatic and aromatic) have been estimated using the compressive loading–unloading responses in terms of the energy,...
The strain hardening behavior of polymers has important roles in processing such as foaming, film formation, and fiber spinning. The most common method to enhance strain hardening is to introduce a long-chain branching structure on the backbone of a linear polymer, but this method is costly and challenging to tailor the behavior. We hypothesized that in situ shrinking fibers can increase the strain...
We investigate surface sealing behavior of polymer hollow particles with an open hole on their surfaces during thermal annealing. A series of processes involving synthesis of polystyrene (PS) solid particles, their swelling with the use of a swelling solvent, and freeze-drying enable us to make hollow particles with a controllable structure including outer/inner diameter and surface hole size. Based...
New potentially biobased copolyesters having the same ethylene skeletal structure as poly(ethylene glycol-co-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate) (PETG) were synthesized based on 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) or 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) with 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol (CHDM). The compositions of each copolyester were confirmed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and the detailed structure was analyzed using...
The high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the epoxy composite frequently causes the CTE-mismatch problem in semiconductor packaging. However, when the epoxy resins available currently are used for composite, the CTE-mismatch problem is inevitable even at the highly-filled conditions. In this study, the new type of bisphenol A (BPA) epoxy resin, i.e., ethoxysilyl-functionalized BPA epoxy was...
This paper describes a new system for NIR light-triggered, localized release of drugs. The system consists of biocompatible/degradable poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based fibers having a core loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and a sheath incorporated with indocyanine green (ICG) as a NIR-absorbing agent together with a biocompatible/degradable, phase-changeable fatty acid. Upon NIR irradiation, the photothermal...
With a diffusion-assisted post-crosslinking method, polymer microspheres containing epoxy groups are crosslinked with ethylenediamine (EDA), gradually diffusing and reacting in the particles via amine/epoxy ring-opening reactions as confirmed by FT-IR and DSC results. Using a microcompression test, we find that the mechanical property (deformability under different applied force, breaking points,...
The synthesis of a novel polymeric surfactant with a repeating disulfide-based gemini structure (poly(gemini surfactant)) and its micellar properties for GSH-dependent intracellular drug delivery are described. A linear polyethylene glycol (PEG) was end-functionalized with N-stearoylcysteine and the cysteine thiol groups of the telechelic surfactant were oxidized intermolecularly in the micellar state...
Nanostructured binary metal oxide-decorated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were utilized as flexible electrodes for hybrid supercapacitor applications. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/lignin based carbon nanofibers (PAN/lignin CNFs) with different contents of lignin were prepared by electrospinning, stabilization and carbonization. Afterwards, the NiCo2O4 oxides were deposited on the surface of CNFs by a facile...
Sustainable biobased terpolyester based on heterocyclic dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate and isosorbide in combination with ethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene (PEICF) were successfully synthesized by two-step melt polymerization method and characterized. A series of PEICF terpolyester exhibited excellent heat resistive properties, with glass transition temperatures of 81–119 °C, and high...
We fabricated a novel core–shell-type microsphere-based electrorheological (ER) composite material using poly(diphenylamine) (PDPA) as an electro-responsive coating layer onto polystyrene (PS) particles of controlled size and morphology. The coating of the core particle with a semiconducting shell was successfully achieved under a controlled environment to attain compact wrapping of surfaces, as confirmed...
We demonstrate the reattachment of two chemically-crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix samples prepared with the γ-ray irradiation method by a simple wetting process with a good solvent. The fractured polymer samples can be attached through chain diffusion, interpenetration into a crosslinked network, and intermixing/reentanglement. Reattached samples exhibit similar macro/microstructure...
Dispersion in polymer nanocomposites is determined by the kinetics of mixing and chemical affinity. Compounds like reinforcing filler/elastomer blends display some similarity to colloidal solutions in that the filler particles are close to randomly dispersed through processing. It is attractive to apply a pseudo-thermodynamic approach taking advantage of this analogy between the kinetics of mixing...
