Solution Behavior Of The Pom-Based Hybrid

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are metal oxide nanosized molecules with well-defined sizes and charges, which have been extensively studied along with their magnetic, catalytic, and biomedical properties 1. Associating POM molecules to organic substrates can exhibit the features of both the inorganic and organic constituents, so as to afford materials with special properties. The formation of highly controllable and responsive onion-like vesicles by using rigid sphere-rod shaped amphiphilic hybrid macromolecules, composed of charged, hydrophilic Keggin-type clusters (spheres) and hydrophobic rod-like oligofluorenes (OFs). Unlike other kind of traditional onion-like structures which mainly relies on chain bending of flexible molecules to satisfy different curvatures 2, the rigid hybrids form flexible interdigitations by adjusting the angles between OFs, leading to the formation of bilayers with different sizes. Not only the hydrophilic head and hydrophobic organic-rod part affects the self-assembly behavior of the macrostructures, but the external stimuli such as temperature, ionic strength, could act as the influence factor to change the morphology of the hybrid molecule size of multilayered vesicles.
