Molecular transport of n‐alkanes into PU/PBMA interpenetrating polymer network systems

The methylene diisocyanate (MDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) based polyurethane/polybutyl methacrylate (PU/PBMA‐50/50) interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) membranes have been prepared. The molecular migration of n‐alkane penetrants such as hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, and decane through PU/PBMA (50/50) membranes has been studied at 25, 40, and 60°C using a weight gain method. From the sorption results, diffusion (D) and permeation (P) coefficients of n‐alkane penetrants have been calculated. Molecular migration depends on membrane‐solvent interactions, size of the penetrants, temperature, and availability of free volume within the membrane matrix. Attempts have been made to estimate the parameters of an empirical equation and these data suggest that molecular transport follows Fickian mode. From a study of temperature dependence of transport parameters, activation energy for diffusion (E_D) and permeation (E_P) have been estimated from the Arrhenius relation. Furthermore, sorption results have been interpreted in terms of enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) of sorption. The liquid concentration profiles have been computed using Fick's equation with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 90: 739–746, 2003

Telechelic polymers by living and controlled/living polymerization methods

Telechelic polymers, defined as macromolecules that contain two reactive end groups, are used as cross-linkers, chain extenders, and important building blocks for various macromolecular structures, including block and graft copolymers, star, hyperbranched or dendritic polymers. This review article describes the general techniques for the preparation of telechelic polymers by living and controlled/living polymerization methods; namely atom transfer radical polymerization, nitroxide mediated radical polymerization, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, iniferters, iodine transfer polymerization, cobalt mediated radical polymerization, organotellurium-, organostibine-, organobismuthine-mediated living radical polymerization, living anionic polymerization, living cationic polymerization, and ring opening metathesis polymerization. The efficient click reactions for the synthesis of telechelic polymers are also presented.     

Microwave-assisted polymer synthesis (MAPS) as a tool in biomaterials science: How new and how powerful

Lack of reproducibility, difficult and expensive scale-up and standarization of synthetic processes are the main hurdles towards the industrial production of raw synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers for (bio)pharmaceutical applications. Time- and energy-consuming synthetic pathways that usually involve the use of volatile, flammable or toxic organic solvents are apparently cost-viable and environment-friendly for the synthesis at a laboratory scale. However, they are often not viable in industrial settings especially due to the impact they have on the product cost and the deleterious effect on the environment. This has presented hurdles to the incorporation of many new biomaterials displaying novel structural features into clinics. Nevertheless, owing to unique advantages such as shorter reaction times, higher yields, limited generation of by-products and relatively easy scale-up without detrimental effects, microwave-assisted organic synthesis has become an appealing synthetic tool. Regardless of these features, the use of microwave radiation in biomaterials science has been comparatively scarce. A growing interest in the basic aspects of the synthesis of either ceramic and polymeric biomaterials has been apparent during the last decade. This article reviews the most recent and prominent applications of MW as a versatile tool to synthesize and process organic and inorganic polymeric biomaterials, and discusses the unmet goals and the perspectives for a technology that probably has the potential to make biomaterials more accessible pharmaceutical excipients and the products that involve them more affordable to patients.

Effect of polyurethane molecular weight on the properties of polyurethane–poly(butyl methacrylate) hybrid latex prepared by miniemulsion polymerization

Polyurethane (PU) prepolymer was first prepared via introducing double bonds on‐to the PU chains, and then polyurethane–poly (butyl methacrylate) (PU–PBMA) hybrid latex was prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. Transmission electron microscopy, Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), Fourier transform infrared, and dynamic mechanical analysis were adopted to characterize the hybrid latex and its coating film. Both the coating property and the miscibility of PU–PBMA emulsion have been greatly improved through introducing double bonds into PU prepolymer. With an increase in the molecule weight of PU (M_PU), the increase in the particle size of PU–PBMA emulsion was observed plus decreases in the stability of the hybrid latex and conversion of methacrylate. Besides, as M_PU increased, the final dried coating film of the hybrid latex showed decreased water resistance, weakened miscibility, and improved mechanical properties. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hollow polymeric nanostructures—Synthesis, morphology and function

The development of reliable synthetic routes to polymeric nanostructures of well-defined composition, morphology and function is of scientific importance and technological interest. The generation of functional hollow polymeric nanostructures, hollow nanospheres and nanotubes in particular, can be achieved through direct and template-directed synthesis, core-shell precursors, and self-assembly of copolymers and polymer conjugates, as well as from dendrimers. The ability to prepare precursor macromolecules of well-defined structure and architecture has been substantially enhanced by recent advances in controlled radical polymerizations. The application and potential application of the hollow polymeric nanospheres and nanotubes as nanoreactors, and in diagnostics, encapsulation, controlled release, and other stimuli-responsive systems are also described.
