Liquid Crystal Templates Combined with Photolithography Enable Synthesis of Chiral Twisted Polymeric Microparticles
AKDENİZ, BURAK; Büküşoğlu, Emre (Wiley, 2019-08-01)
Liquid crystals (LC), when combined with photolithography, enable synthesis of microparticles with 2D and 3D shapes and internal complexities. Films of nematic LCs are prepared using mixtures of reactive (RM257) and non-reactive mesogens with controlled alignment of LCs at the confining surfaces, photo-polymerized the RM257 using a photomask, and then extracted the unreacted mesogens to yield the polymeric microparticles. The extraction results in a controlled anisotropic shrinkage amount dependent on the R...
COMPLEX-RADICAL COPOLYMERIZATION OF ALLYL CINNAMATE WITH STYRENE
RZAEV, ZMO; MEDYAKOVA, LV; KIBARER, G; AKOVALI, G (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-10-24)
Some peculiarities in the radical copolymerization of trans-allyl cinnamate, a bifunctional monomer containing donor (allyl) and acceptor (cinnamic) double bonds in the molecule, with styrene in methyl ethyl ketone, at 60 degrees C, using 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitile) as the initiator have been revealed. Kinetic parameters of copolymerization such as complex formation, cyclization, and copolymerization constants and ratios of chain growth rates for the participation of monomeric charge transfer complexes (CT...
A Quinoxaline Derivative as a Long Wavelength Photosensitizer for Diaryliodonium Salts
Bulut, Umut; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2010-01-01)
This article reports the use of a quinoxaline derivative as a photosensitizer for diaryliodonium salt photoinitiators. 2,3-bis(3,4-bis(decyloxy)phenyl)-5,8-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]-dioxin-5-yl)quinoxaline (DOPEQ), is a highly conjugated compound with strong absorption bands at wavelengths ranging from 300 to 550 nm and is shown to facilitate photoinitiated cationic polymerization of heterocyclic monomers such as oxiranes and oxetanes. The polymerizations are initiated at room temperature by using l...
Photoinduced polymerization of thiophene using iodonium salt
Yagci, Y; Yilmaz, F; Kiralp, S; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2005-06-16)
Thiophene was polymerized by means of UVirradiation using diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate as a photoinitiator. An initiation mechanism involving electron transfer from photochemically generated onium radical cations to thiophene was proposed. N-Ethoxy-2-methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate and triphenylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate were also found to be effective in facilitating the polymerization of thiophene. Polymerization is accompanied with the film formation on the surface of the reaction tube. T...
Synthesis and characterization of fully aromatic thermotropic liquid-crystalline copolyesters containing m-hydroxybenzoic acid units
Yerlikaya, Z; Aksoy, S; Bayramlı, Erdal (Wiley, 2001-10-01)
A series of fully aromatic copolyesters based on p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), hydroquinone diacetate (HQDA), terephthalic acid (TPA), and m-acetoxybenzoic acid (m-ABA) were prepared by a modified melt-polycondensation reaction. The copolyesters were characterized by DSC, thermogravimetric analysis, H-1 NMR, polarized optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and intrinsic viscosity measurements. The copolyesters exhibited nematic liquid-crystalline phases in a broad temperature range of about 150 degreesC, w...
