Thermoresponsive AIE-Active Miktoarm Star Polymers: Precise Synthesis and Structure-Dependent Photoluminescence
Implementing a macromolecular engineering strategy for thermoresponsive fluorescence polymers is an important approach to a wide-range tunable photoluminescence behavior that meets the requirement of various application scenarios. Herein, three tetraphenylethylene (TPE) derivatives bearing different numbers of bromopropionate and hydroxyl groups were synthesized with simplicity and efficiency. After Cu(0)-mediated single-electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of methyl acrylate (MA), functional group conversion of hydroxyl groups to trithiocarbonate groups, and mechanistic transition to reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), aggregation-induced emission-active miktoarm star TPE-(PMA)n-(PDMAEMA)4–n (n = 1–3) with a well-defined macromolecular structure were synthesized. Owing to the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior of the PMA arm, TPE-(PMA)n-(PDMAEMA)4–n displayed an intriguing thermoresponsive emission behavior in EtOH/H2O mixtures. The macromolecular structure had a profound influence on the performance of TPE-(PMA)n-(PDMAEMA)4–n, delivering highly differentiated fluorescence thermoresponsiveness. The underlying mechanism was revealed based on variable-temperature 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and dynamic laser scattering. The knowledge gained in our work is important for the rational design and application of a thermoresponsive intelligent fluorescence system.
期刊介绍:
Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Topics of interest include synthesis (e.g., controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis); phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamic, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g., self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics); structure and properties (e.g., mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties); new state of the art characterization (e.g., spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology), simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling), and theoretical methods. Renewable/sustainable polymers, polymer networks, responsive polymers, electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules, inorganic polymers, charge-transporting polymers (ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting), nanostructured polymers, and polymer composites are also of interest. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers.
