Abstract
Chemoselective reactions allow near-precision control over the polymer composition and topology to create sequence-controlled polymers with similar secondary and tertiary structures to those found in proteins. Dendrimers are recognized as well-defined macromolecules with the potential to mimic protein surface functionality due to the large number of functional groups available at its periphery with the internal structure acting as the support scaffold. Transitioning from using small-molecule dendrimers to dendritic macromolecules will not only allow retention of the high peripheral functionality but also provide an internal scaffold with a desired polymer composition within each generational layer. Here, we exemplify a systematic approach to creating a dendritic macromolecule with the placement of different polymer building blocks in precise locations within the internal structure and the placement of three different amino acid moieties clustered at the periphery. The synthesis of this ABC dendritic macromolecule was accomplished through iterative chemoselective reactions.

Xu J, Guo X, Guo H, Zhang Y, Wang X. Exploring the Molecular Origin for the Long-Range Propagation of the Substrate Effect in Unentangled Poly(methyl methacrylate) Films. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4655. [PMID: 38139907 PMCID: PMC10748294 DOI: 10.3390/polym15244655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The polymer/substrate interface plays a significant role in the dynamics of nanoconfined polymers because of its suppression on polymer mobility and its long-range propagation feature, while the molecular origin of the long-range substrate effect in unentangled polymer material is still ambiguous. Herein, we investigated the propagation distances of the substrate effect (h*) by a fluorinated tracer-labeled method of two unentangled polymer films supported on silicon substrates: linear and ring poly(methyl methacrylate) films with relatively low molecular weights. The results indicate that the value of h* has a molecular weight dependence of h*∝N (N is the degree of polymerization) in the unentangled polymer films, while h*∝N1/2 was presented as previously reported in the entangled films. A theoretical model, depending on the polymer/polymer intermolecular interaction, was proposed to describe the above long-range propagation behavior of the substrate effect and agrees with our experiment results very well. From the model, it revealed that the intermolecular friction determines the long-range propagation of the substrate effect in the unentangled system, but the intermolecular entanglement is the dominant role in entangled system. These results give us a deeper understanding of the long-range substrate effect.

Rhodanine-based Knoevenagel reaction and ring-opening polymerization for efficiently constructing multicyclic polymers. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3654.

Abstract
Cyclic polymers have a number of unique physical properties compared with those of their linear counterparts. However, the methods for the synthesis of cyclic polymers are very limited, and some multicyclic polymers are still not accessible now. Here, we found that the five-membered cyclic structure and electron withdrawing groups make methylene in rhodanine highly active to aldehyde via highly efficient Knoevenagel reaction. Also, rhodanine can act as an initiator for anionic ring-opening polymerization of thiirane to produce cyclic polythioethers. Therefore, rhodanine can serve as both an initiator for ring-opening polymerization and a monomer in Knoevenagel polymerization. Via rhodanine-based Knoevenagel reaction, we can easily incorporate rhodanine moieties in the backbone, side chain, branched chain, etc, and correspondingly could produce cyclic structures in the backbone, side chain, branched chain, etc, via rhodanine-based anionic ring-opening polymerization. This rhodanine chemistry would provide easy access to a wide variety of complex multicyclic polymers.
