A metal‐containing ionic liquid‐based, uncharged‐charged block copolymer (BCP) system made via RAFT polymerization is presented. Small‐angle X‐ray scattering studies show these Co(II) bis(salicylate) anion‐containing BCPs can form ordered microstructures (including a gyroid phase) in their neat states. Additionally, these BCPs can reversibly coordinate H2O or small alcohols with a noticeable color change.
A series of ATRP-synthesized poly(IL) diblock copolymers exhibit morphological phase behavior with shifted phase boundaries and alkyl substituent dependent segregation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
