Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, University of Akron, Polymer Science.
Self-assembly of macromolecules have made significant progresses in the past decades in creating ordered structures on the nanometer scale, which is of not only scientific but also technological importance. Diverse types of macromolecules, including block copolymers, dendrimers and giant molecules, have been used to construct well-ordered nanostructures. Our group is continuously working on constructing materials with ordered nanostructures based on self-assembly of giant molecules composed of chemically precise and shape-persistent molecular nanoparticles. A series of usual and unusual supramolecular nanostructures have been obtained experimentally. My dissertation will focus on functionality aspect of giant molecule-based materials. First, a series of cylindrical and spherical phases was obtained by self-assembly of amphiphilic giant dendrons. Then, an unusual phase separation between non-polar molecular nanoparticles with polystyrene induced by fluorinated POSS was demonstrated. The functionality scope of molecular nanoparticles was also expanded by introducing ferrocene units and a series of well-ordered organometallic nanostructures were prepared. In the last two chapters of this dissertation, preparing mesoporous ceramic materials with well-ordered nanostructures were focused. By pyrolyzing single-sourced POSS-polystyrene conjugates, ordered mesoporous ceramic materials with different functionalities can be obtained.
