Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel one-pot synthesis method to fabricate well-defined single-chain polymeric nanoparticles (SCNPs) integrated with interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) systems. The synthesis process involved an initial intramolecular crosslinking of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) to form SCNP followed by intermolecular crosslinking to produce single-chain nanogel (SCNG) structures. In addition, the achieved single-chain polymeric nanoparticle was subsequently incorporated into an IPN structure through urethane bond formation and a Diels-Alder click reaction involving furfuryl methacrylate (FMA) and bismaleimide (BMI). The thermal properties, swelling behaviors, and morphologies of the resulting SCNP-IPN systems were investigated. This work presents a novel strategy that integrates the single-chain folding concept with IPN systems, providing a promising platform for the development of robust and functional polymeric materials with potential applications in advanced materials science.
期刊介绍:
The journal Gels (ISSN 2310-2861) is an international, open access journal on physical (supramolecular) and chemical gel-based materials. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the maximum length of the papers, and full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Short communications, full research papers and review papers are accepted formats for the preparation of the manuscripts.
Gels aims to serve as a reference journal with a focus on gel materials for researchers working in both academia and industry. Therefore, papers demonstrating practical applications of these materials are particularly welcome. Occasionally, invited contributions (i.e., original research and review articles) on emerging issues and high-tech applications of gels are published as special issues.
