密度对温敏polymer刷塌陷、压缩和粘附的影响

Density effects on collapse, compression and adhesion of thermoresponsive polymer brushes

Ibrahim Bou Malham, Lionel Bureau

摘要:

我们探测,使用表面力装置,热响应的聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAM)刷的各种接枝密度,从等离子体活化的云母通过表面引发聚合生长。因此,我们表明,密集的热敏刷崩溃逐渐随着温度的升高,接枝密度极大地影响他们的溶胀能力:溶胀比的刷子,其特征在于溶胀和塌陷状态之间的厚度变化,被发现减少从$\sim 7$到$\sim 3$的接枝链的数量每单位面积的增加。这样的结果,获得了前所未有的分辨率在接枝密度,提供了定性支持的计算门德斯{ \it等人}。[{ \it Macromolecules} { \bf 2005} { \it 38},174]。我们进一步表明,在相反的溶胀,两个PNIPAM刷之间的粘附似乎是相当不敏感的分子结构。

英文摘要:

We probe, using the Surface Forces Apparatus, the thermal response of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brushes of various grafting densities, grown from plasma-activated mica by means of surface-initiated polymerization. We thus show that dense thermoresponsive brushes collapse gradually as temperature is increased, and that grafting density greatly affects their ability to swell: the swelling ratio of the brushes, which characterizes the thickness variation between the swollen and the collapsed state, is found to decrease from $\sim 7$ to $\sim 3$ as the number of grafted chains per unit area increases. Such a result, obtained with an unprecedent resolution in grafting density, provides qualitative support to calculations by Mendez {\it et al.} [{\it Macromolecules} {\bf 2005} {\it 38}, 174]. We further show that, in contrast to swelling, adhesion between two PNIPAM brushes appears to be rather insensitive to their molecular structure.
