Preparation of Narrowly Distributed Stable and Soluble Polyacetylene Block Copolymer Nanoparticles

Synthesis of block co-polymers and star-branched polymers consisting of conducting polyacetylene segments via ionic interaction to form ionic bonds

“…They demonstrated that the polymerization proceeds in a living manner under the usual conditions for anionic polymerization to afford the corresponding vinyl polymers with predictable molecular weights and relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (M w /M n = 1.2-1.4). Subsequent studies by other research groups also demonstrated the living character of the polymerization of 1 [32][33][34].…”

Synthesis of polyacetylene with sulfoxide functions

“…6 These new varieties of polyacetylene seem challenging as anti static additives, homogenizing agents for polymeric mix tures, optoelectronic materials, sensors, switches, mo lecular conductors, and nanoelectrinic devices. 6 In this work, we present the results of studying new routes for the synthesis of functionalized polyacetylene from poly(methyl vinyl sulfoxide) (PMSO, 1) by a base under mild conditions at room temperature or on weak heating.We found that polyacetylene functionalized by sulf oxide groups (2) is readily formed from PMSO 1 via the partial elimination of methanesulfenic acid under the ac tion of a strong base at 20-50 °C.The soluble precursor of functionalized polyacetylene is PMSO 1. The latter was synthesized by the oxidation of poly(methyl vinyl sulfide) (PMS) with 30% hydrogen per oxide (equimolar amount of H 2 О 2 based on the PMS unit, acetone-benzene (9 : 1) mixture, 60 °C, 12 h).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] In combination with other types of chemical modification, this method makes it pos sible to prepare acetylene copolymers with new surface, optical, and electronic properties. Since blocks of differ ent nature are thermodynamically incompatible, these co polymers can exhibit the microphase separation to form paracrystalline nanostructures in the solid state and the formation of Langmuir-Blodgett films or stable self or ganized micelle like nanoparticles in solutions.…”
