Hyperbranched photo responsive and liquid crystalline azo‐siloxane polymers synthesized by click chemistry

Abstract: Three new types of hyperbranched photoactive liquid crystalline siloxane polymers containing azo moieties were synthesized using click chemistry methodology. The polymers were soluble in most of the polar solvents like chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulphoxide and dichloromethane. The molecular weights of the polymers were in the range of 9000–12,000 g mol−1. The trans‐cis photoisomerization of the polymer were studied both under UV radiation and dark. The isomerization rate constants… Show more

“…The resultant SHPs showed a liquid crystalline characteristic of nematic phase and a fast photo-response trans-cis isomerization with a rate constant in the range of 0.7-1.4 Â 10 À2 and 7.0-2.5 Â 10 À5 s À1 . 213 An A 2 macromonomer + B 3 macromonomer approach was used to synthesize sequential multiblock SHPs (Scheme 8). The A 2 macromonomer (MM6) was synthesized by the esterification of PEG diols and carboxylic azide.…”

“…A large variety of A and B functional groups have been used, which includes those commonly used for step-growth polymerizations, such as hydroxyl groups with epoxides to prepare hyperbranched aliphatic polyethers, [45] and anhydrides with amines to prepare hyperbranched polyimides, [46,47] but also click chemistry such as azide with alkyne groups involved in copper-assisted alkyneazide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions. [48,49] The control of the degree of branching is achieved by controlling the feed ratio and introducing a linear component. However, the A2 + B3 system generally suffers from a tendency to gelation and intramolecular cyclization.…”

“…“Click chemistry” is a concept introduced by Sharpless [ 54 ] in 2001 and since then has become one of the most powerful paradigms in polymer chemistry and materials science [ 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Due to its simplicity and efficiency, click chemistry has been extensively employed for accessing linear polymers [ 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ], branched polymers [ 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 ], dendrimers [ 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 ], and polymer networks [ 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 ]. The combination of click chemistry and nucleobase-containing polymers is promising.…”
