59. [Polymer Chemistry] A tough, stretchable and extensively sticky hydrogel driven by milk protein
For
hydrogels, toughness and adhesiveness are contradictable.
However, the simultaneous requirement for both was
very urgent in some practical applications, such as robotics joints, wound
dressing and surgical bandage. Here in, milk casein as a protein model was
introduced into polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogel, which could achieve adequate
adhesiveness and mechanical strength. Surprisingly, casein-P...

Silkworm cocoons by cylinders self-assembled from H-shaped alternating polymer brushes
We report a novel silkworm cocoon-like nanostructure based on the 3D hierarchical self-assembly of cylinders which are spontaneously formed by an H-shaped polymer brush comprising a disulfide-bridged spacer and two brushes with alternating PEG and PCL side chains. Crystalline of PCL between adjacent cylinders bridges cylinders.

Self-assembled nanostructures from amphiphilic globular protein–polymer hybrids
Amphiphilic globular protein–polymer hybrids consist of PMMA as hydrophobic tail and globular protein BSA as hydrophilic head. Amphiphilic globular protein–polymer hybrids self-assembled into micelles or vesicles in phosphate buffer saline. The self-assembled morphology of amphiphilic protein–polymer hybrids was controlled by adjusting the length of hydrophobic chains.

pH-Sensitive Zwitterionic Polymer as an Antimicrobial Agent with Effective Bacterial Targeting
It is highly desirable to develop new and more potent biocompatible antimicrobial agents to reduce the increasing risk of bacterial infection worldwide. To address this problem, we prepared a smart pH-sensitive polymer, poly(N′-citraconyl-2-(3-aminopropyl-N,N-dimethylammonium)ethyl methacrylate), or P(CitAPDMAEMA), which can undergo change in functionality from a biocompatible zwitterionic polyme...

Borinic Acid Polymer: Simplified Synthesis and Enzymatic Biofuel Cell Application
A simplified one-pot and less harmful method has been introduced for the synthesis of borinic
acid monomer. The corresponding borinic acid polymer (PBA) has been prepared by reversible
addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization.Property investigations confirm the characteristics of PBA as a new type of “smart material” in the field of thermo-responsive
polymer. The potential...

30. Supramolecular Polymer Nanocomposites Derived from Plant Oils and Cellulose Nanocrystals
Abstract
Sustainable functional materials derived from renewable biomass provide momentum for the communities of polymer science. We report a supramolecular approach to the preparation of strong biobased polymer nanocomposites with stimuli-responsive behaviors using soybean oil (SO) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). SO-derived polymers were modified with hydroxyl –O...

Functional Polymer Microspheres as ‘Turn-off’ Chemosensors for Detection of Copper Cations
Functional polymer micrsopheres with fluorescent
carbazole unit and various functional groups, such as amide, pyridyl and imide,
were prepared by distillation precipitation copolymerization of divinylbenzene
(DVB) as a crosslinker, N-vinylcarbazole (NVCz), together with acrylamide (AAm),
4-vinylpyridine (VPy) and 4-vinylimidazole ((VIM) as functional monomers in
acetonitrile in ab...

[Chem. Eur. J.] Controlled Growth of Metal-Organic Frameworks on Polymer Brushes
Polymer brushes are for the first time used to induce the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The semi-fixed polymer chains provide a confined environment,
which allows a mild growth of MOFs in between polymer chains to give surface-attached spherical MOF nanoparticles, in contrast to the larger MOF cubes/plates formed simultaneously in solution. Polymer brushes bearing carboxylate ...

015. Re-examining the procedure for simulating polymer Tg using molecular dynamics
In this work, the poly(ethylene oxide) bulk as one example has been iteratively heated and cooled back using MD simulations to examine the effects of thermal history on the resulting Tg. It is demonstrated that, after the system is equilibrated once at the high temperatures, the simulated Tg does not exhibit a systematical shift with the thermal history, and the averaged Tg compares well with th...
