Abstract Energetic polymers salts from 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole derivatives have been synthesized via free radical polymerization of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazolium monomer salts or by protonation of poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) with inorganic or organic acids. Standard enthalpies of formation of the new monomer salts were calculated using the computationally feasible DFT(B3LYP) and MP2 methods in conjunction with an empirical approach based on densities of salts. Compared with the monomer salts, the polymer salts have good thermal properties with high densities > 1.5 g cm,3. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract We synthesised P4VP bromides with octyl and dodecyl pendant groups; the bromide anions in these polymer salts were further substituted with dodecylsulfate or bis(2-ethylhexylsuccinate) anions. Direct SFM visualisation of the original P4VP chains, of the macromolecular salts and of their complexes, showed that the attachment of the pendant groups and especially the complexation with the surfactants promotes stretching of the macromolecules while adsorbing on mica substrate. On the other hand, viscosimetry showed that in solution (chloroform) the comb-like chains and their complexes with dodecylsulfate had more compact conformations than those of the original P4VP. The scaling exponents describing the correlation between the contour length and the end-to-end distance of the adsorbed macromolecules were found to be ca. 3/4, which is indicative of 2D self-avoiding walk statistics.

Synthesis and SFM Study of Comb-Like Poly(4-vinylpyridinium) Salts and Their Complexes with Surfactants

Abstract Summary: Poly(4-vinylpyridinium) bromides containing octyl and dodecyl pendant groups were synthesized. Bromide anions in these polymer salts were substituted with dodecylsulfate and bis(2-ethylhexylsuccinate) anions using ion-exchange reactions. Initially, P4VP and its derivatives loaded with hydrophobic groups were deposited on a mica surface from diluted solutions in chloroform for visualization. Images of single adsorbed macromolecules were obtained using scanning force microscopy. Original P4VP chains form partially compacted self-intersecting coils. Loading the polymer chains with large hydrophobic groups and especially the increase in the number of alkyl tails (see Figure) per monomer unit of the polymer chain leads to the stretching of the coils, and the comb-like macromolecules adopt more and more extended self-avoiding 2D conformations when deposited on the substrate. Polymer chains with large hydrophobic groups and increasing number of alkyl tails per monomer unit of the polymer chain. [source]
