Most hollow particles prepared by the SaPSeP method have carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen polymer shells, which lack sufficient heat resistance. In this study, hollow particles with a silicone shell, which is highly heat-resistant, are prepared using the SaPSeP method using a trimer of 3-methacryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane (MPDS). The MPDS trimer (3MPDS) is synthesized through the sol–gel reaction of MPDS with a basic aqueous solution. Additionally, hollow particles are prepared using a new silicone oligomer composed of MPDS and dimethoxymethylvinylsilane (DMVS). Both hollow particles prepared from 3MPDS and from a new silicone oligomer composed of MPDS and DMVS showed high heat resistance. They maintained their hollow structure even when exposed to temperatures up to 900 °C.","PeriodicalId":18052,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Reaction Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The size of the obtained droplets is controlled by changing the stabilizer concentration and solvent polarity. However, the obtained droplets have not maintained their particulate shape in the dry state due to the absence of a cross-linking structure. Thus, radical polymerization is performed on the obtained silicone droplets at 70 °C for 2 h; consequently, spherical particles with high monodispersity are observed in the dry state, indicating the presence of a cross-linked structure. Microcompression tests are conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the silicone particles. Initially, the recovery ratio (elasticity) is not high because the molecular weight of the silicone particles is low, ≈600, due to MPDS cyclization (MPDS trimer). Anionic ring-opening polymerization is therefore performed to extend the molecular weight of the MPDS trimer. Benzyldodecyldimethylammonium bromide and tetrakis[tris(dimethylamino)phosphoranylidenamino]phosphonium chloride are used as catalysts for anionic ring-opening polymerization. These catalysts increased the molecular weight to ≈2000 and 7600, respectively. Furthermore, the silicone particles obtained through anion ring-opening polymerization and radical polymerization have high recovery ratios (elasticity).","PeriodicalId":18052,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Reaction Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acrylic acid–polyethylene glycol 2-methyl-2-propenyl ether (AA-HPEG) copolymers belong to the class of comb-like polycarboxylate ether (PCE) polymers, employed as superplasticizers for cementitious materials. Due to different reactivity ratios of AA and HPEG, semibatch operations with optimized monomer addition profiles are required to enhance the incorporation of HPEG into the copolymer. The kinetics of this system is complex and, like other water-soluble monomers, depends on monomer concentration, pH, and ionic strength. Despite its high-volume industrial usage, the kinetics of this system have received little attention in the literature. Furthermore, the presence of the HPEG, with 55 ethylene oxide (EO) units in the side chain, complicates the precise determination of individual monomer conversions. To address this, various characterization methods are evaluated, including proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Results show that HPEG conversion is determined more accurately using 1H-NMR signals from the polymer than unreacted monomer signals or SEC traces. Aqueous semibatch AA-HPEG copolymerization experiments are conducted in acidic media to investigate the effects of comonomer feeding time, initiator and chain-transfer agent concentrations on the copolymerization kinetics, HPEG incorporation, and molar mass.","PeriodicalId":18052,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Reaction Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mren.202400043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HL-NRPs, prepared via the seeded emulsion polymerization in one pot, are studied as potential bio-based nanocapsules for the first time. Effects of types of crosslinking agents and swelling agents, the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and monomer compositions on the void formation and expansion are systematically investigated. The combined effects of phase separation between NR core swelled with divinyl benzene (DVB) and hydrophilic poly(methyl methacrylate/acrylic acid) P(MMA/AA) shell, the entanglement of rubber chains copolymerized with MMA/DVB/AA monomers, and the osmosis from external aqueous medium promoted the void formation. While crosslinking agents affected the void formation and shell strength, SDS and type of monomers governed colloidal stability and polymerization loci as well as morphology, respectively. The ability of HL-NRPs as nanocapsules is explored by encapsulating fluorescent dyes, i.e., hydrophilic fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and lipophilic Nile red (NiR), as model cargo. From the dye release test after 24 h, the cumulative concentrations of FITC in methanol and of NiR in tetrahydrofuran are 0.17 and 0.11 µg mL−1, respectively. The results suggested that FITC is released from HL-NRPs easier than NiR possibly due to the different encapsulation location.","PeriodicalId":18052,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Reaction Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To use these paints as coatings, it is necessary to have a technology that can easily impart structural color to the material's surface without changing color based on the viewing angle. In addition, water-repellent properties that lead to stain resistance are required for practical application. This study applies a structural color coating by synthesizing hydrophobic melanin particles using the Michael addition reaction and arranging these particles on a substrate at high speed. The resulting coating film shows angle-independent structural color due to the amorphous structure of the particle arrangement, and the color tone could be controlled by adjusting the particle size. The combination of the particle's hydrophobic surface and the microscopic unevenness from the arrangement structure produced a superhydrophobic coating with a contact angle of over 160°. Since the Lotus effect, resulting from superhydrophobic surfaces, can maintain the cleanliness of structural color coatings, the findings of this research will contribute to the development of next-generation coating technology.","PeriodicalId":18052,"journal":{"name":"Macromolecular Reaction Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
