Hole-transporting polymers containing carbazol-3,9-diyl and 1,4-phenylene fragments in the main chain

New carbazole-based polymers, which contain various content of electro-active fragments in the main chain connected via alkylene spacers, have been synthesized by Ni(0)-catalyzed Yamamoto-type aryl-aryl coupling reactions. These compounds represent amorphous materials of high thermal stability with glass-transition temperatures of 139-151 degrees C and thermal decomposition starting at temperatures above 400 degrees C. UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence emission spectra of the materials confirmed that the conjugated segments in the macromolecules are rather short.

Crystallization behavior of a thermoplastic polyimide derived from 3,3 ',4,4 '-oxydiphthalic dianhydride and 4,4 '-oxydianiline

Nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization kinetics of an aromatic thermoplastic polyimide derived from 3,3',4,4'-oxydiphthalic dianhydride and 4,4'-oxydianiline have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The results for nonisothermal crystallization study showed that a weak melting peak appeared during the first heating process, whereas no crystallization peak appeared in the DSC curve during the subsequent cooling process. On the other hand, the study for the isothermal crystallization in the temperature range of 260-330 degrees C showed that a new exothermic peak appeared at lower temperature for the samples crystallized for 100 min at 300 degrees C.

Performance Enhancement of Polymer Light-Emitting Diodes by Using Ultrathin Fluorinated Polyimide Modifying the Surface of Poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):Poly(styrenesulfonate)

Herein, an insulating fluorinated polyimide (F-PI) is utilized as an ultrathin buffer layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) in polymer light-emitting diodes to enhance the device performance. The selective solubility of F-PI in common solvents avoids typical intermixing interfacial problems during the sequential multilayer spin-coating process. Compared to the control device, the F-PI modification causes the luminous and power efficiencies of the devices to be increased by a factor of 1.1 and 4.7, respectively, along with almost 3-fold device lifetime enhancement. Photovoltaic measurement, single-hole devices, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, are utilized to investigate the underlying, mechanisms, and it is found that the hole injection barrier is lowered owing to the interactions between the PEDOT:PSS and F-PI. The F-PI modified PEDOT:PSS layer demonstrates step-up ionization potential profiles from the intrinsic bulk PEDOT:PSS side toward the F-PI-modified PEDOT:PSS surface, which facilitate the hole injection.

低相对分子质量铁系3,4-聚异戊二烯橡胶的性能

考察了制备的低相对分子质量3,4-聚异戊二烯与SBR或NR按20/80质量比组成的共混胶的力学性能和粘弹性能。结果表明,SBR/3,4-IR和NR/3,4-IR共混胶与SBR或NR相比,其拉伸强度、拉断伸长率和永久变形有所下降,回弹性明显降低,但硬度基本不变。根据0°C和60°C下的损耗因子tanδ值可知,3,4-IR可明显提高SBR或NR硫化胶的抗湿滑性能,对滚动阻力无明显的影响。

Shear-enhanced crystallization of a thermoplastic polyimide derived from 3,3 ',4,4 '-oxydiphthalic dianhydride and 4,4 '-oxydianiline

The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of consecutive shear on the crystallization of an amorphous aromatic polyimide (PI) derived from 3,3',4,4'oxydiphthalic dianhydride (3,3',4,4'-ODPA) and 4,4-oxydianiline (ODA). At 260 degrees C, the increase of shear rate or shear time leads to the increase of crystallinity. Indeed, increasing shear rate can also accelerate the crystallization behavior. Moreover, it was found that a new melting peak appeared at higher temperature for long time or high rate sheared sample. The enhancement of crystallization behavior appears directly linked to the increase of crystal thickness. Particularly, the effect of shear temperature was investigated, and the results revealed that the crystallization of the PI was more sensitive to shear at 260 degrees C, which was 10 degrees above the glass transition temperature (250 degrees C) of the PI. Possible mechanism was proposed to illustrate the effect of consecutive shear on the crystallization of the PI polymer.

Morphology of electrodeposited poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrene sulfonate) films

Poly(4-styrene sulfonate)-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT/PSS) films with ring-, arrow-, and bubble-like microstructures have been electrochemically generated simply by a one-step cyclic voltammetry in an aqueous media. Influences of applied potentials and surfactant/dopant-PSS on morphology of the resulting film were investigated, and a gas bubble template mechanism has been proposed. The result confirmed a well-doping of PSS in the PEDOT film. Electrochemical property and conductivity of the micro-structured PEDOT/PSS film were investigated further. Similar preparation with potential applications in fabrication of microdevices and micro-sensors can be extended to other micro-structured conducting polymers.

Electro-assisted precipitation of electrolytes in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film

The electrolyte, NaBF4, can be enriched into the matrix of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film during the p-doping potential cycling between 0.6 and -0.9 V. It has been demonstrated that this enrichment is originated from the mixed ion transfer between doping and dedoping, i.e. BF4- anion migrate into the PEDOT film during the oxidation process, the Ne cation insert into the film during the reduction process, and then, the electrolyte is accumulated into the film matrix after the multiple CV cycling. The quantitative analysis of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the enrichment of NaBF4 in the PEDOT film.

Photophysical properties of rare earth complexes with 3,4-furandicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Synthesis, IR spectra, UV-vis spectra and photophysical properties of Gd3+, Eu3+, Tb3+ complexes with 3,4-furandicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline are reported. Intramolecular energy transfer process for these complexes is discussed in detail. It is found that the intramolecular energy transfer efficiency depends on the relative positions between the resonance energy levels of the central rare earth ions and the lowest triplet state energies of ligands.

3,4－聚异成二烯的合成及所得聚合物结构与性能表征

近二十多年来，在异成二烯的络合催化聚合中，由Ni、Co、Ti及稀土等过渡金属元素络合物组成的催化体系，研究报道得很多，有些已投入工业生产。但由最常见的过渡金属元素铁络合物组成的催化体系，对异成二烯聚的聚合却不多见。本工作研究了三乙酰基丙酮铁为主催化剂，烷基铝为助催化剂，添加含氮类给电子试剂组成三元体系，对异成二烯聚合的催化作用。Fe(a cac)_3 - Al(i-Bu)_3二元体系不能引起异成二烯聚合，而加入少量的含氮类给电子试剂如邻菲啰啉、α,α'－联吡啶等，催化活性显著提高。聚合活性与含氮类给电子试剂的性质有关，并随着下列顺序依次递减：邻菲啰啉、α,α'－联吡啶、对苯二胺、邻苯二胺，对硝基苯胺、邻硝基苯胺；吡啶和已二胺对催化活性的提高几乎没有贡献。烷基铝的不同对催化活性也有明显的影响。其活性顺序为：Al(i-Bu)_3 approx Al Eτ_3 > Al(i-Bu)_2H。首次合成了结晶的3,4－聚异成二烯，3,4－链节含量为70％左右时，Tm为121 ℃左右， Tc为65 ℃左右，透射电镜下观察到结晶的3,4－聚异成二烯具有球晶状结构。初步研究了铁系三元催化体系的反应机理，设想铁化合物和烷基铝生成的烷基铁必须与含氮类给电子试剂作用才能形成活性中心；可见光谱和催化活性实验数据证实了含氮类给电子试剂参与活性中心的形成，并起着稳定活性中心的作用。本文详细地研究了Fe(a cac)_3 - phen - Al(i-Bu)_3催化体系对异成二烯的聚合，考察了起始单体浓度、聚合温度，催化剂总用量以及催化剂各组分配比对聚合速率、聚合物的特性粘数和链节结构的影响，从实验结果讨论了Fe(a cac)_3 - phen - Al(i-Bu)_3体系催化异成二烯的聚合机理，并进行了一些动力学的基本计算，得到了与实验结果基本相符的结果，解释了一些实验现象。铁系聚异成二烯橡胶的表征工作未见诸文献，本工作对铁系聚异成二烯生胶的结晶、力学、流变及阻尼性能作了较系统的研究，并对硫化胶的物理机械性能，弹性及阻尼性能作了初步的表征。铁系聚异成二烯橡胶在室温具有较好的阻尼性能，并且生热值和冲击弹性均较低，可作为室温阻尼材料使用。
