Drastic Elevation in the Glass Transition Temperature of Poly(2-vinylpyridine) by the Entanglement-Promoting Palladium Nanoparticles
A favorable interaction between the polymer matrix and nanoparticles (NPs) of a polymer-NP composite (PNC) is computationally predicted to raise a PNC’s glass transition temperature (Tg) and thus enhance its thermal stability. Yet, most PNCs fail the prediction and seldom exhibit >10 °C, if any, elevation in Tg; this Tg invariance is believed to result from the formation of a bound polymer layer on the NP surface. Here, we observe considerable Tg elevations, by as much as 73.7 °C relative to the neat polymer, for the PNCs made of entangled poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) and ∼3 nm Pd NPs, even though a bound P2VP layer is revealed by X-ray scattering to be present on the NP surface. A rheological and structural analysis suggests that the unprecedented Tg elevations stem from the entanglement-promoting effect of the NPs, which is in turn enabled by the NPs’ nanoscopic size and the strong matrix-NP interaction.
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.
