摘要

通过偶联反应和可逆加成-断裂链转移（RAFT）聚合反应，分别成功合成了新型硅基液晶（LC）单体（CASPA）和相应的侧链中含有对称偶氮苯中间体的聚(MMA)-b-聚(CASPA)二嵌段共聚物（DBCs）。新型 CASPA 单体、聚（MMA）-RAFT 大引发剂和 AIBN 引发剂在苯甲醚溶液中以良好的控制方式进行了 RAFT 嵌段聚合，得到了分子量（Mw/Mn ≤ 1.39）和组成控制极佳的聚（MMA）-b-聚（CASPA）DBC。使用 1H NMR、FTIR、GPC、DSC、POM、AFM 和 GISAXS 对 CASPA 和 Poly(MMA)-b-Poly(CASPA) 的化学结构和性质进行了广泛研究。CASPA 显示出具有向列四刷分裂纹理的各向异性液晶，而 DBC 则显示出具有纺锤形 A 相纹理的单向性液晶。在紫外线照射下，所有 DBC 薄膜都表现出光化学反式-顺式异构化和从介相到各向同性相的光诱导相变。热退火条件下 DBC 薄膜的形态取决于构建 LC 嵌段相对于 Poly(MMA) 嵌段的体积比，嵌段体积分数大致相等的 DBC-2 可自组装成域间距为 34 nm 的片状纳米结构，而 LC 含量较高的 DBC-3 和 DBC-4 （分别为 65 wt% 和 72 wt%）可形成高度有序的六边形圆柱纳米结构，经原子力显微镜和 GI-SAXS 验证，其域间距为 37 至 39 nm，符合自洽场理论。

Novel silicon-based liquid crystalline (LC) monomer (CASPA) and corresponding Poly(MMA)-b-Poly(CASPA) diblock copolymers (DBCs) containing symmetric azobenzene mesogens in the side chain were successfully synthesized by coupling reaction and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, respectively. Block copolymerization by RAFT proceeded with well-controlled manner in anisole solution involving new CASPA monomer, Poly(MMA)-RAFT macroinitiator and AIBN initiator, yielding Poly(MMA)-b-Poly(CASPA) DBCs with excellent control over molecular weights (Mw/Mn ≤ 1.39) and compositions. Chemical structures and properties of CASPA and Poly(MMA)-b-Poly(CASPA) were extensively studied using ¹H NMR, FTIR, GPC, DSC, POM, AFM and GISAXS. The CASPA exhibited enantiotropic liquid crystallinity with nematic four-brush schlieren texture, while DBCs showed monotropic liquid crystallinity with batonnet textures of smectic A phase. All DBC films exhibited photochemical trans-cis isomerization and photoinduced phase transition from mesophase to isotropic phase under UV irradiation. Morphologies of DBC thin films under thermal annealing depended on volume ratio of building LC block relative to Poly(MMA) segment, DBC-2 containing approximately equal block volume fractions self-assembled into lamellar nanostructure with domain-spacing of 34 nm, whereas DBC-3 and DBC-4 possessing higher LC contents (65 wt% and 72 wt%) formed highly ordered hexagonal cylindrical nanostructures with domain-spacing ranging from 37 to 39 nm as evidence by AFM and GI-SAXS, conforming with the self-consistent field theory.
