有机／无机杂化材料的自组装表征及应用

杂化的纳米尺寸的有机／无机化合物开辟了材料科学的新纪元。作为新型功能材料，杂化的有机／无机杂化材料由于在光学、电子、机械、防护涂层、催化、传感器、生物等方面有潜在的应用前景而在材料科学领域引起广泛关注。杂多酸（POMs）作为一种重要的无机化合物，有特异的纳米尺寸结构，优越的物理化学性质和广泛应用价值，因此多酸化合物功能材料的研究引起人们足够的重视。最近，人们把更多的注意力集中到杂化的有机／无机杂化材料范围内，如何更有序的组装杂多酸，因为它们有着更有趣的电、磁、氧化还原和光学性质。1．在4-氨基苯甲酸修饰的玻碳电极表面，我们用层层组装方法制备了六钒取代的理杂多酸（PW6V6）多层膜。表面等离子（SP）技术和循环伏安（CV）法对多层膜进行了表征。结果表明，多层膜生长均匀，平均厚度为2.8nm，并且研究了多层膜对亚硝酸根伽02一）和浪酸根（BrO3-）的催化还原活性。2．研究了通过静电吸附作用，P2W17Fe和QPvP-Os交替组装多层膜。循环伏安（CV），电化学交流阻抗谱（EIS）和紫外一可见光谱（UV－vis）研究结果表明了这种多层膜是均一稳定的。多层膜对H2O2，BrO3-和NO2-有很高的催化活性。特别是EIS成功地监测多层膜的形成过程。随着层数增长，电子传输阻抗Rc，线性增加，氧化还原电对Fe（CN）63/4的电子传输受到抑制，这进一步证实了多层膜的均一性。3，首次在4-氨基苯甲酸修饰的玻碳电极表面成功地构建了含杂多酸P2W15V3的多层膜。值得注意的是，该多层膜对BrO3-和NO2-的还原有显著的电催化活性，而且由于过渡金属钒在P2W15V3起催化作用而有很低的过电位。另外，多层膜中QPVP-O5聚合物的Os中心在抗坏血酸氧化时的催化活性仍然存在，而且通过最外层的调整，多巴胺和抗坏血酸能被分别检测，所以在多巴胺存在时它可用作检测抗坏血酸的电化学传感器。4．迄今为止，人们把更多的注意力集中在杂多酸多层膜的制备，电化学和电催化活性的研究，对杂多酸多层膜功能材料的研究却很少，我们首次够构造了发光的杂多酸多层膜，紫外可见光谱，循环伏安，电化学阻抗技术和荧光光谱证明多层膜生长均匀，室温下，多层膜的发光性能显示Eu3+的特征发射峰是5D0→7Fj（j=1，2，3，4）的跃迁。电化学阻抗谱被成功得应用于监测多层膜的沉积过程。我们发现随多层膜的逐步形成，半圆直径有规律地长大。而且，电荷迁移电阻Rc，随双层数线性增长。可以认为多层膜在基底电极上以非常均匀规律的方式沉积，Fe（CN）63/4氧化还原电对的氧化还原反应逐步被多层膜抑制。5．我们用层层组装方法成功构造了金纳米粒子多层膜，紫外可见光谱，循环伏安和原子力显微技术表征了多层膜的形成，金纳米粒子粒径大约14nm，表面粗糙度6.43nm。

两亲性三嵌段共聚物在选择性稀溶液中的自组装及应用

本论文主要研究了ABA和ABC型两亲性三嵌段共聚物在选择性稀溶液中的自组装行为，得到了多种形态新颖、结构复杂多样的胶束，研究了这些复杂胶束的形成过程，探讨了影响胶束形态的各种因素并通过适当的方法对胶束形态进行调控。研究了聚乙烯基毗陡（P4VP）／聚苯乙烯（PS）三嵌段共聚物P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP在二氧六环／水中的自组装行为，成功得到了嵌段共聚物环状胶束，并通过实验研究了环状胶束的形成过程。结果表明，胶束形态依赖于退火时间的长短。随着退火时间的延长，胶束结构从棒状过渡到环形结构。以实验结果为基础提出了环状胶束形成的新的机理，即囊泡塌陷形成环。同时，通过改变实验条件还得到了一些新型的环状复合结构，如环套环形、鸟状、哑铃形、戒指形、网络状等结构，并得到了与计算机模拟一致的结果。通过不同的方法对ABA型三嵌段共聚物（P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP）在选择性溶液中的自组装胶束形态进行调控：首先，详细研究了P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP在不同的共溶剂中的自组装行为。结果表明通过单纯改变共溶剂的性质可以很方便地调节胶束的形态，得到了球、棒、囊泡等结构。并用混合溶剂的方法得到了长度和直径可控的纳米线胶束。同时，通过加入第二种选择性溶剂（核层嵌段PS的选择性溶剂甲苯）的方法使形成胶束的核层嵌段在胶核中的伸展程度增加，从而使胶束形态发生转变。其次，研究了加入表面活性剂十五烷基苯酚（PDP）以构建分子间氢键来调节P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP的胶束形态。结果表明，通过调节PDP的加入量可以使胶束形态发生从球到棒，到网络状、再到囊泡结构的转变。通过实验对比系统地研究了PDP的加入对胶束形态转变的影响，提出了相应的形态转变机理。再次，研究了不同分子量的嵌段共聚物之间共混及共聚物与均聚物共混对胶束形态的影响。结果表明加入亲油嵌段的均聚物对共聚物胶束形态影响非常明显，胶束形态与加入的均聚物的分子量及加入量直接相关。同时得到了一些新形态的胶束，如海绵状、笼子状等。共聚物共混的研究结果表明：通过两种不同分子量的共聚物共混可以得到这两种共聚物胶束的过渡态结构。用共聚物混合的方法还可以得到一些具有生物模拟性的胶束结构，如乌贼状、章鱼状等。这加深了人们对囊泡的形成机理及各种胶束形态之间形态转变的认识。P4VP-b-PS-b-P4VP通过在二氧六环／水中的自组装形成了囊泡，结果表明囊泡的尺寸依赖于初始状态下共聚物在共溶剂中的浓度及退火时间。除得到常规的球形囊泡外，还得到一些非球形囊泡，如长条形、三角形、项链形等囊泡结构。结合计算机模拟的方法研究了囊泡的形成机理，发现这些不同结构的囊泡的形成是由于初始状态下密度涨落所引起的。研究了实验中经常出现的各种胶束形态共存现象的原因，发现体系中亚稳态的存在是多形态共存的重要原因之一。通过聚苯乙烯一左聚乙烯基毗睫一左聚氧乙烯（PS一b一PZVP一b一PEO）在THF／水中的二次自组装首次得到了一种具有生物模拟性的巨大的节状蠕虫胶束（SWM）。研究发现，SWM是由重复单元盘状结构和丝状结构相连组成的。最令人吃惊的是这种SWM与自然界中的一些生命体如蛆叫、蛹、昆虫类的幼虫结构非常相似。通过对SWM形成过程中的中间态胶束结构的深入研究发现SWM是由球形胶束通过二次自组装形成的。SWM的形成过程可以分为三个阶段：ABC三嵌段共聚物先组装形成球形结构；这些球型结构粘连在一起形成梭形的中间结构；这些梭状中间结构中的球经过重组和重新调整各嵌段的排布最终形成SWM。用所得到的嵌段共聚物胶束为模板，采用无电沉积的方法成功制备了各种形态的金属一有机高分子纳米复合材料。用简单的方法还得到了导电金属金一银的双金属纳米结构材料。这些纳米结构材料在微电子器件等领域有潜在应用价值。以上研究结果丰富了人们对嵌段共聚物在选择性介质中自组装行为的理解，为人们提供了对生物材料自组装本质的理解的依据。这在两亲性分子在溶液中自组装的基础研究方面以及基于这些自组装形态而构建结构及功能更复杂的纳米结构材料等方面都有一定的意义。

半结晶性嵌段共聚物自组装与薄膜微相分离

本论文以半结晶性的PLLA-b-PS为研究对象，主要研究两个方面的问题。首先研究聚合物结晶对嵌段共聚物在稀溶液中的自组装行为的影响。在此基础上，研究薄膜状态下，聚合物结晶与微相分离之间的相互作用。首先，我们系统地研究了PLLA-b- PS在不同溶剂中的自组装结构。通过调节溶剂选择性由中性向弱选择性和选择性改变，PLLA-b-PS分别形成类旋节图案，松散的胶束结构和典型的胶束核壳结构。使用混合溶剂，实现了从结晶性的球形胶束向结晶性的片状胶束的转变。标度理论分析和实验结果表明，溶剂与胶束结晶核心之间的界面能的增加是发生这一转变的主要原因。为了研究薄膜中的微相分离与结晶之间的相互作用，我们比较了三种薄膜条件下的相分离与结晶过程。均匀平坦的PLLA-b-PS薄膜是旋节不稳定的，在几以上时，分子链发生微相分离，形成旋节图案，表面诱导分子链的伸展有序化过程促使PLLA分子链发生折叠结晶，形成非经典的亚稳态凸出结构，相分离层间距增大50％。结晶过程为一级动力学。在薄膜中引入成核剂时，PLLA在几以上即开始结晶，同时实现了PLLA与P3之间的相分离，薄膜的旋节不稳定性得到了松弛。结晶使薄膜收缩，形成大量的裂纹。在PLLA熔点以上时，以裂纹为核，在薄膜中形成大量的孔洞。孔洞的生长为经典的动力学过程。我们利用自组装方法在薄膜中引入半结晶性的开放的纳米棒。在几以上时，PLLA在纳米棒中发生结晶，诱导薄膜中的分子链向纳米棒迁移，从而在薄膜中形成孔洞结构。同时，薄膜中的未结晶分子链被表面和界面诱导取向，这种取向结构利于PLLA结晶，结晶被加速，从而孔洞的生长也被加速。也就是说，结晶与孔洞的生长相互促进。在相分离薄膜中，PLLA的结晶形态与结晶温度有关。To＜TgPS时，结晶被束缚在相结构中，相分离结构不变；TgPs＜Tc＜Tm以及Tc→Tm时，结晶对相结构有一定的破坏，相分离片层结构的层间距增大，薄膜收缩，形成大量的裂纹和缺陷。在180℃时，PLLA形成不稳定的晶体结构；PLLA与PS之间的相分离强度被减弱，在线张力作用下，岛状结构的相对高度大幅度增加；在岛状结构的边缘，线张力驱使部分分子链穿越已有的相结构，形成多层岛状结构。

苯乙炔类分子导线的合成、组装及电子传输性能

分子导线作为未来分子电子器件的重要组成部分，其合成，组装及电子传输性能研究是当今化学、物理、生物和微电子工程等领域里一个非常热门的研究课题。本论文在齐聚苯乙炔及齐聚苯乙炔一唾吩乙炔分子导线的合成、组装及电子传输性能研究方面进行了一些工作，主要成果有以下几个方面：一、官能化短链分子导线的合成与表征比较系统地合成不同端基，不同分子长度和不同主链结构的乙酞琉基官能化的齐聚苯乙炔类分子导线，以便比较系统地研究各种因素对这类分子导线的自组装及电子传输性能的影响。对所有合成的官能化分子导线进行了红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱和质谱表征以确定其结构。二、长链分子导线的合成与表征用溶液和固定相快速合成方法合成了一系列苯乙炔齐聚物及苯乙炔一（蜜份乙炔交替共聚齐聚物：1）采用简便的路线，用溶液和固定相方法快速合成出十二烷氧基取代的苯乙炔齐聚物，最一长达到了八聚体。（2）采用一条最简便的路线，用固定相方法快速合成了异丙基取代的苯乙炔齐聚物，最长达到了八聚体。（3）用溶液和固定相方法首次合成了苯乙炔一唾吩乙炔交替共聚齐聚物。（4）用一种新颖的“现场去保护／偶联”二倍速方案快速合成出十二烷氧基取代的苯乙炔齐聚物，最长达到了八聚体。该方案最大的优点在于无需分离出对空气敏感的芳香端炔化合物，从而简化了实验操作以及提高了产物的纯度。对所有合成的齐聚物进行了红外光谱、核磁共振氢谱、核磁共振碳谱和激光质谱表征以确定其结构。三、官能化分子导线的组装及电子传输性能研究（l）用STM和CP-AFM研究了合成的官能化分子导线在金基底的自组装行为，发现形成的自组装单层缺陷很少，而且自组装单层非常均一。（2）用电化学和导电原子力显微镜技术研究了上述官能化齐聚苯乙炔分子导线的电子传输性能，发现界面接触和分子长度对分子导线的电子传导能力有很大的影响，而链结构的影响则相对要小些。此外，我们还发现齐聚苯乙炔体系的电子传输衰减系数β值仅为0.19A-1，说明它是一类性能优异的分子导线侯选物。（3）通过量子化学计算，我们对实验结果进行了初步解释。

Synthesis and characterization of a novel two-component organogelator based on ion-bonded discotic complex

A novel ion-bonded discotic complex was prepared from 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexakis(N,N-dimethylaminopropylaminocarbonylmethoxy)triphenylene (HDTP) and 4'-dodecyloxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (DBC) by ionic self-assembly (ISA) route and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum. We found that the complex can self-assemble into stable gels in aromatic hydrocarbons. Nanofibers with diameters of 50-130 nm were observed in the gels by transmission electron micrograph (TEM).

Controllable synthesis of metal hydroxide and oxide nanostructures by ionic liquids assisted electrochemical corrosion method

Cu(OH)(2) nanowires have been synthesized by anodic oxidation of copper through a simple electrolysis process employing ionic liquid as an electrolyte. Controlling the electrochemical conditions can qualitatively modulate the lengths, amounts, and shapes of Cu(OH)(2) nanostructures. A rational mechanism based on coordination self-assembly and oriented attachment is proposed for the selective formation of the polycrystalline Cu(OH)(2) nanowires. In addition, the FeOOH nanoribbons, Ni(OH)(2) nanosheets, and ZnO nanospheres were also synthesized by this route, indicative of the universality of the electrochemical route presented herein. The morphologies and structures of the synthesized nanostructures have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric (TG). (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved

Multilayer structured carbon nanotubes/poly-L-lysine/laccase composite cathode for glucose/O-2 biofuel cell

Multilayer film of laccase, poly-L-lysine (PLL) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by a layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. The results of the UV-vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy studies demonstrated a uniform growth of the multilayer. The catalytic behavior of the modified electrode was investigated. The (MWNTs/PLL/laccase)(n) multilayer modified electrode catalyzed four-electron reduction of O-2 to water, without any mediator.

Hybridization of poly(4-vinyl pyridine)-b-polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) aggregates in dioxane/water solution

Self-assembly of binary blends of two triblock copolymers of poly(4-vinyl pyridine)-b-polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinyl pyridine), i.e., P4VP(43)-b-PS260-b-P4VP(43) (P1) and P4VP(43)-b-PS366-b-P4VP(43) (P2), in dioxane/water solution was studied. These two triblock copolymers individually tend to form vesicles (P2) and cylindrical micelles (P1) in dilute solution. It was found that copolymer components in the blend, sample preparation method, and annealing time had significant effect on hybridization aggregate morphology. By increasing P1 content in the copolymer blends, fraction of looped and stretched cylinders increased, while fraction of bilayers decreased. Nearly no bilayer was observed when P1 content was above 85 wt%.

Hollow DNA/PLL microcapsules with tunable degradation property as efficient dual drug delivery vehicles by alpha-chymotrypsin degradation

Hollow deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/poly-L-lysine (PLL) capsules were successfully fabricated through a layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of DNA and PLL on porous CaCO3 microparticles, followed by removal of templates with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA). The enzymatic degradation of the capsules in the presence of alpha-chymotrypsin was explored. The higher the enzyme concentration, the higher is the degradation rate of hollow capsules. in addition, glutaric dialdehyde (GA) cross-linking was found to be another way to manipulate degradation rate of hollow capsules.

Monodisperse Co-oligomer Approach toward Nanostructured Films with Alternating Donor-Acceptor Lamellae

A series of donor-acceptor (D-A) co-oligomers with oligo(fluorene-alt-bithiophene) and perylene diimide as donor and acceptor segments, respectively, have been designed and synthesized. They can self-assembly into alternating D-A lamellar nanostructured films with the periods depending on the molecular length. These films have been successfully used in fabrication of high-performance single-molecular solar cells with power conversion efficiency up to 1.50%.

Bump-Surface Multicompartment Micelles from a Linear ABC Triblock Copolymer: A Combination Study by Experiment and Computer Simulation

Novel bump-surface multicompartment micelles formed by a linear amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymer via self-assembly in selective solvent were successfully observed both in simulation and experiment. The results revealed that the block A forms the most inner core, and the blocks B and C form the inner and outer layers, respectively, and the bumps were formed by block A and more likely to be born on curving surfaces. Moreover, the micelle shape could be controlled by changing the solvent selectivity of the blocks A and B. Spherical, cylindrical, and discoidal micelles with bumpy surfaces were obtained both in experiment and simulation.

Luminescent and Mesoporous Europium-Doped Bioactive Glasses (MBG) as a Drug Carrier

Luminescent and mesoporous europium-doped bioactive glasses (MBG:Eu) were successfully synthesized by a two-step acid-catalyzed self-assembly process combined with hydrothermal treatment in an inorganic-organic system. The obtained MBG was performed as a drug delivery carrier to investigate the drug storage/release properties using ibuprofen (IBU) as a model drug. The structural, morphological, textural and optical properties were well characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N-2 adsorption/desorption, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, respectively. The results reveal that the MBG exhibit the typical ordered characteristics of the hexagonal mesostructure. This composite shows sustained release profile with ibuprofen as the model drug. The IBU-loaded samples still show red luminescence of Eu3+ (D-5(0)-F-7(1, 2)) under UV irradiation, and the emission intensities of Eu3+ in the drug carrier system vary with the released amount of IBU, thus making the drug release be easily tracked and monitored by the change of the luminescence intensity.

Vesicles Formed by Oligostyrene-block-Oligoaniline-block-Oligostyrene Triblock Oligomer

Novel pi-conjugated coil-rod-coil triblock oligomers containing optoelectronic active oligoaniline segments were synthesized. The block oligomer can self-assemble into diverse aggregating morphologies including spherical micelles and thin-layer vesicles in THF, which is found associated with the removing of the protecting groups of oligoaniline segments. A possible mechanism was proposed to explain the self-assembly behavior changes in which chain conformation variation of the aniline segments initiated from deprotection of the nitrogen atoms is pointed to be the key factor that dominates the transition process.

Conducting polyaniline film from aqueous dispersion: Crystallizable side chain forced lamellar structure for high conductivity

Aqueous conducting polyaniline dispersion was prepared employing acidic phosphate ester bearing hydrophilic ethylene glycol segment as dopant, and conducting film with electrical conductivity of 25 S/cm was obtained from the dispersion. Ordered self-assembly lamellar structure with interlamellar distance of 1.2 nm was observed in the film, which consisted of alternating layers of rigid polyaniline chain and flexible phosphate ester side chains, where the phosphate side chain layer was separated by two rigid polyaniline layers. The lamellar structure leading to high conducting film was formed due to the confinement of polyaniline chain by crystallizable phosphate side chain, since the electrical conductivity decreased by four orders of magnitude once the dopant side chain crystalline was destroyed. The crystallizable side chain forced lamellar structure is expected to be a new chance for highly conducting polyaniline.
