2.1. Synthesis and characterization of copolymers and their assemblies
- Synthesis of block, graft, gradient copolymers
- Polymer characterization by SEC (multiple detection : RI, LS, viscosimetry, UV-Vis (diode array)), MALDI-ToF MS, 13C, 1H-RMN, DSC
- Assemblies’ characterization by DLS, nano-DSC, TEM, cryo-TEM, AFM, SEM (UPMC collaborations)
- Synthesis and control of intelligent supramolecular polymers
Examples :
A) Synthesis and characterization of poly(vinylidene chloride)-Based Amphiphilic Block Copolymers. (Collaboration with Solvay and C2P2-Lyon ; Macromolecules (2013), 46(3), 664-673)
B) A new class of organosilane-modified polycarboxylate superplasticizers with low sulfate sensitivity. (PhD F. Wei – collaboration with Italcementi ; Cement and Concrete Research (2012), 42(1), 166-172)
C) Synthesis and use of a new alkene-functionalized SG1-based alkoxyamine. (Polym. Chem. (2011), 2(1), 229-235)
2.2 Synthesis and control of intelligent supramolecular polymers
Collaboration : P. Woisel - UMET- Lille
This topic is based on the specificity and reversibility of host/guest supramolecular interactions in order to build smart polymer systems.
Examples :
A) Programmable Polymer-Based Supramolecular Temperature Sensor with a Memory Function. (Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. (2014), 53(20), 5044-5048)
B) Multi-stimuli responsive supramolecular diblock copolymers. (Polym. Chem. (2014), 5(3), 1031-1036)
