Solvent polarity effects on supramolecular chirality of a polyfluorene‐thiophene copolymer

et al. 2018

This study demonstrates the supramolecular chirality control of a conjugated polymer via solvent polarity. We designed and synthesized a chiral polyfluorene-thiophene copolymer having two different chiral side chains at the 9-position of the fluorene unit. Chiral cyclic and alkyl ethers with different polarities were selected as the chiral side chains. The sign of the circular dichroism spectra in the visible wavelength region was affected by the solvent system, resulting from the change of supramolecular structure. The estimation of the solubility parameter revealed that the solubility difference of the side chains contributed to the change of the circular dichroism sign, which was also observed in spin-coated films prepared from good solvents having different polarities.

Bio‐available Solvent Cyrene: Synthesis, Derivatization, and Applications

The development of green solvents is one of the key tenets of Green Chemistry as solvents account for the majority of waste stemming from the production of the chemicals on which we have all come to rely. An important class of solvents is the dipolar aprotics, which include N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). In addition to being derived from non-renewable resources, these solvents are also under increased regulatory pressures that will limit their industrial applications. This Concept concerns the bio-available solvent Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone) as a potential replacement for toxic dipolar aprotic solvents. An emphasis is placed on examining the strengths and weaknesses of Cyrene as a solvent and is accomplished by looking at the synthesis, derivatization, and application in synthetic protocols of Cyrene. With respect to the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry, this Concept describes a bio-available solvent that should have a disruptive effect on the use of traditional industrial dipolar aprotic solvents.

“…The surface tension is also a fundamental physicochemical parameter in polymer preparation and processing methods. The surface tension also plays a key role in phase behavior, encapsulation, self-stratifying coating and nanodispersion of CNT, graphene, graphene oxide, and other materials [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Matching both the solubility parameter and surface tension parameters is essential for achieving better polymer formulations.…”

The correct calculi of surface tension and solubility parameters are of paramount importance for many fields of chemical engineering and materials design, such as encapsulation methods (which use the mean field theory), dispersion of nanopowders, phase compatibility in chemical blends and nanocomposites, among others. The solubility parameters play a key role in these applications along with the surface tension. Until now, the relationship between solubility parameters and surface tension was only indirect, through the Skaarup–Beerbower formula, although well‐known physicochemical rules, such as Stefan's rule, could be applied to them directly, as shown in this study. The prediction of both the solubility parameters and surface tension within chemical groups can be obtained with high accuracy using critical temperature and molar volume, parameters easily found in the literature. The proposed rules are original, simple and have direct practical applications for the development of new materials. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 59:E312–E321, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers
