Versatile morphology transition of nano-assemblies via ultrasonics/microwave assisted aqueous polymerization-induced self-assembly based on host-guest interaction. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 107:106901. [PMID: 38735786 PMCID: PMC11179237 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Nano-assemblies have wide applications in biomedicine, functional coatings, Pickering emulsifiers, hydrogels, and so forth. The preparation of assemblies mainly utilizes the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) method, which can produce high-concentration nanoscale assemblies in one step. However, the initiation processes of most reported PISA are limited to thermal initiation. Here, we reported two green and efficient methods for synthesizing nano-assemblies with various morphologies using ultrasound (20 kHz)/ microwave (500 W) assisted aqueous-phase RAFT-PISA in 3 h and 1 h. Cyclodextrin (CD) and styrene (St) nucleating monomer were complexed in a 1:1 ratio. Then, using Poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether as the macromolecular reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent (PEG-CTA) to control the CD/St complexes, the conversion rate of St monomer was respectively 27 %-60 %, 20 %-30 % within 3 h and 1 h under ultrasonics/microwave assisted PISA. Results showed that the morphologies of the assemblies are not only related to the length of PS block, but also to the assistance types and the remaining monomer concentration. The results showed that only PEG45-b-PS90 and PEG45-b-PS241 assemblies prepared by ultrasonics assisted PISA form evolved lamellaes and vesicles (100 nm), which break through the limitation of kinetic freezing. But the ultrasonic reaction on morphology of assemblies is not all favourable. For one thing, it can promote the movement of particles; for another, it makes reverse morphology transformation and sphere is preferred morphology. Therefore, the main reason of morphology evolution is the remaining monomer concentration of PEG45-b-PS90 and PEG45-b-PS241 assemblies reaches to 55 %-65 %, which promoting the segment movement. The results showed that the morphology of the assemblies prepared by microwave assisted PISA changed from spherical micelles to short rods, and finally to vesicles (120-140 nm) as the length of hydrophobic PS block increases. The kinetic freezing problem was solved in microwave-assisted PISA due to the action of microwaves and more remaining monomer concentration. Both them can boost particles movement.

Abstract
After the development of polymer coatings and films based on renewable resources, there remains a challenge of combining the advantages of water-borne acrylic latexes with the excellent physical properties of cross-linked solvent-borne coatings. After polymerization, the renewable 4-oxocyclopentenyl acrylate (4CPA) is capable of undergoing photocyclodimerization under UV light, yielding a cross-linked polyacrylate. In this work, we investigate the polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) of 4CPA with several renewable acrylic monomers in the presence of a macro-RAFT agent. The produced latexes have a small particle size, good colloidal stability, and are free of volatile organic compounds. After film formation and UV curing, flexible to rigid films can be obtained depending on the monomer composition and UV irradiation time. The cross-linked films show promise as oil and water barriers in paper coating applications. This work outlines the development and application of renewable and functional cross-linkable latexes synthesized by PISA.
