Morphology and ordering behavior of a poly(styrene)- b -poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane) diblock copolymer

Equilibrium Melting Temperature of Poly(ferrocenyl dimethylsilane) in Homopolymers and Lamellar Diblock Copolymers with Polystyrene

“…Then, an equal volume of tetrahydrofurane (THF) was added in order to promote the FS propagation from the ferrocenyllithium-based macroanions. [8][9][10][11] After stirring for a further 2 h, the reaction was terminated with degassed methanol. The raw product was isolated by precipitation in hexane.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Moreover, it counts among the very few metallopolymers accessible by living chain-growth protocols which give access not only to products of defined molar mass and narrow polydispersity but also to a broad variety of copolymer architectures: plenty of PFDMS block copolymers with, e.g., polystyrene (PS), [8][9][10][11] polyisoprene (PI), [12] poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS), [8,12,13] poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), [14] poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and poly(2-vinylpyridine) [22] have been synthesized, and they have been shown to develop fascinating morphologies at the nanometer to micrometer scale. [2,7,23] Another important feature of PFDMS is its ability to crystallize.…”

“…[24] It exhibits a T g of around 30 8C and-depending on molecular mass and thermal history-a melting temperature (T m ) in the range from 110 to 142 8C. [24] Even as a part of block copolymers, the PFDMS crystallinity has already been addressed, [10,12,13,25] but there is no systematic investigation available so far.…”

Synthesis, characterization and thermal degradation kinetics of ferrocene-containing aramids

“…15 -19 In fact, polymers with ferrocene units incorporated into or onto the main chain are useful for several applications, e.g. in the fabrication of amperometric enzyme electrodes, 20 as precursors to ferromagnetic ceramics, 21,22 *Correspondence to: Zareen Akhter, Department of Chemistry, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad 45320, Pakistan.

Pattern transfer using block copolymers

“…However, metal ions from the PFS domains contaminate transistor devices and thus limit patterning applications of PFS-containing BCPs. [119,120]. Ordered microdomains were also reported for PIb-PFS diblock copolymer films directly after spin coating from a 1% toluene solution without further annealing.…”
