Abstract
Co-crystalline and nanoporous-crystalline poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) oxide (PPO) phases can be achieved for randomly functionalized PPO. In fact, WAXD, DSC, and FTIR studies show the presence of remarkable crystallinity in PPO films with chloroacetyl (−COCH2Cl) side groups up to 17 mol %. More surprisingly, polymer melting temperature remains constant in the range 244−246 °C up to a degree of functionalization of 12 mol %. This behavior is unprecedented in polymer science and can be rationalized by side-group inclusion in PPO intrahelical crystalline channels.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
