Block copolymers of acrylonitrile and poly(dimethylsiloxane)s

Abstract

The chemical redox system of ceric ammonium nitrate(Ce4+) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)s (PDMS) with monohydroxy (MH), dihydroxy (DH), and diamine(DA) chain ends was used to polymerize acrylonitrile (AN) to produce monohydroxy poly(dimethylsiloxane)s‐b‐polyacrylonitrile (MH.PDMS‐b‐PAN), dihydroxy poly(dimethylsiloxane)s‐b‐polyacrylonitrile (DH.PDMS‐b‐PAN), and α, ω‐diamine poly(dimethylsiloxane)s‐b‐polyacrylonitrile (DA.PDMS‐b‐PAN) block copolymers. The concentration, reaction time, and the type of poly(dimethylsiloxane) affect the yield and the molecular weight of the copolymers. The ratio of AN/ceric salt/PDMS has remarkably affects the properties of formed copolymers. DH.PDMS‐b‐PAN copolymers were also prepared by electroinduced polymerization in the presence of catalytic amount of Ce4+ in a divided electrochemical cell where Ce3+ is readily oxidized into Ce4+ at the anode. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H‐NMR spectroscopy, DSC, and their surface properties were investigated through contact‐angle measurements. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High Performance of Transferring Lithium Ion for Polyacrylonitrile-Interpenetrating Crosslinked Polyoxyethylene Network as Gel Polymer Electrolyte

“…Here, this porous PP film only provides holes to adapt electrolytes solution but cannot adsorb electrolytes solution to transfer Li-ion itself. On the other hand, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) has been used as an alternatively gel polymer electrolytes due to its superior electrical and mechanical properties. − …”

Block copolymers of pyrrole and ethoxylated nonylphenol

“…Redox systems of Ce ϩ4 salts and organic reducing agents are well-known initiators for vinyl polymerisation in aqueous media. Block copolymers and graft copolymers were obtained via Ce ϩ4 salts and reducing compounds such as alcohols, polyols, acids, amines, thiols, thiourea (Ustamehmetoglu et al, 2001), ketonic resins (Kızılcan and Ustamehmetoglu, 2005) and amine or hydroxyl terminated polydimethyl siloxane (Kızılcan et al, 2003(Kızılcan et al, , 2006Akar et al, 2007;Ustamehmetoglu et al, 2012;Köken et al, 2013).…”

High thermal and electrochemical stability of a SiO2 nanoparticle hybird–polyether cross-linked membrane for safety reinforced lithium-ion batteries

“…One solution is to use phenolic resin, which has been used as an alternative polymer composite due to its superior electrical and mechanical properties and low cost. [20][21][22][23] In this work, we prepared a phenolic-resin cross-linked-PEO polymer, denoted as NX, to function as a separator. This composite can adsorb, uptake and retain a great amount of electrolyte solution to transfer lithium ions through the PEO segment.…”
