Abstract

The synthesis of a well defined poly(ethylene oxide) network is described. This was achieved by performing hydrosilylation of α,ω-diallyl PEO with 2,4,6,8-tetramethyltetrahydrocyclosiloxane (D₄H). The influence of several factors, including the nature of the catalyst, temperature, (SiH)/(double bond) ratio and traces of water, on the hydrosilylation reaction is described. Side reactions were studied by ¹H and ²⁹Si n.m.r.

PEG-in-PDMS drops stabilised by soft silicone skins as a model system for elastocapillary emulsions with explicit morphology control
2022, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
Citation Excerpt :
For all our calculations we use the values from the SEC measurements. The sensitivity of the Si-H groups to water creates a set of potential side reactions [46–48]. For instance, they may undergo a platinum-catalysed condensation forming a silanol group (Si-OH) while releasing hydrogen (Fig. 3C).
The morphology of ordinary macro-emulsions is controlled by their high interfacial energies, i.e., by capillarity, leading to well-known structural features which can be tuned only over a narrow range. We claim here that a more explicit control over a much wider range of morphologies can be obtained by producing ”elastocapillary emulsions” in which interfacial elasticity acts simultaneously with interfacial tension.
We develop a model-system composed of PEG-in-PDMS emulsions, in which a catalyst diffuses from the PEG drops into the silicone matrix containing two reactive silicone polymers, which are cross-linked in a non-reactive silicone matrix to form a silicone gel of controlled thickness and mechanical properties on the drop surface. We characterise the cross-linking process of the gel in bulk and at the interface, and we analyse the skin growth kinetics. We then use the obtained understanding to produce emulsions with controlled elastocapillary interfaces using in-flow-chemistry in a purpose-designed millifluidic circuit.
We show that this approach allows to create interfaces over the full range of elastocapillary properties, and that very different emulsion morphologies can be generated depending on whether capillarity or elasticity dominates. These findings advance our fundamental understanding of the morphology of emulsions with complex interfaces, and they are of importance for the design of polymerised High Internal Phase Emulsions (polyHIPEs) with original structure/property relations. They will also be useful for the design of silicone capsules with fine-tuned mechanical properties.
Preparation of degradable bio-based silicone/epoxy hybrid resins towards low dielectric composites
2022, European Polymer Journal
Citation Excerpt :
The chemical structures of PMEP-0.8, PMEP-1.0 and PMEP-1.6 are further determined by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra. In Fig. S3a, the peaks at 4.69–4.72 ppm correspond to the -SiH group in PMHS-x, the peaks at 5.02 and 6.00 ppm correspond to the CC group and the peaks at 6.96–6.83 and 6.68 ppm correspond to the benzene ring in EUEP [40]. In Fig. S3b, the peaks of -SiH and CC groups are invisible, while a new peak at 0.67 ppm indexed to SiCH2 group is observed, indicating that the benzene ring and the epoxy group remain and the -Si-CH2- group is newly generated.
Epoxy resins are well-known adhesive materials, however, the high dielectric constant (D_k) limited their application in microelectronic devices. Additionally, non-degradability is a bottleneck for all thermosetting resins, and the discarded resins posed the great threat to environment. Herein, a bio-based eugenol epoxy was grafted onto the polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS-x) main chain via a hydrosilylation reaction to simultaneously lower the D_k and enable degradability. The curing kinetics of bio-based silicone/epoxy hybrid resins with methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) or 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) were studied. The cured resins exhibited low D_k and hydrophobicity by taking advantage of the low polarity, large molecular volume and high dissociation energy of the siloxane segments. The polysiloxane degradation process took place under alkaline conditions, allowing the retrieval of reinforced fibers from the composites. To better illustrate the superiority of the bio-based silicone/epoxy hybrid resins, quartz fiber reinforced composites were prepared. Compared to the commercial epoxy based composite, the impact strength of the PMHS-x with a silicon hydrogen content of 0.8 × 10^-2 mol·g⁻¹ was increased by 26.5 %, meanwhile, the D_k was decreased by 16.7 %. The bio-based silicone/epoxy hybrid resins not only alleviated the environmental pollution but also provided a reliable approach for fiber recycling from epoxy composites. The low polarity and degradability were integrated into bio-based silicone/epoxy hybrid resins, which provided a novel way to prepare environment-friendly materials suitable for microelectronic devices.
Liquid type of fluorosulfonyl lithium salts containing siloxane for Li-ion electrolyte
2016, Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry
Citation Excerpt :
The purpose of this study is to synthesize liquid type of LiFSI containing with siloxane in which siloxane group provides low melting point. The flexibility characteristic of siloxane is caused by the large angle and the low bending force constant of SiOSi bonds [18–20]. A new route for the synthesis of LiFSI (Si-LiFSI) derivatives containing siloxane was presented.
Our goal in the present work is to synthesize liquid type of electrolyte that can be used in lithium-ion battery, based on fluorosulfonyl group. We synthesized a precursor of fluorosulfonyl isocyanate, and followed to prepare fluorosulfonyl carbamic acid ester lithium salt (SiFSC 1)s and fluorosulfonyl urea lithium salt (SiFSC 2)s containing siloxane electrolytes. Four electrolytes with carbamic or urea structures were prepared by changing the siloxane moieties with different chain length. The synthesized electrolytes are viscous liquid with different color. The resulting electrolytes were characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The ionic conductivity of SiFSCs was compared by LiPF₆ and LiFSI.
Formation, structure and antibacterial activities of silazane networks grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) branches
2015, Progress in Organic Coatings
The aim of this investigation was to develop coating materials based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) covalently grafted onto silazane polymers for marine antifouling applications. The optimum conditions for grafting PEG were defined to have a high selectivity toward olefin hydrosilylation. Thick crack-free films were obtained by curing at room temperature of the PEG grafted silazane precursors. The solidification process has been investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, ²⁹Si NMR in the solid state, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) as well as elemental analysis. The main reactions that occur during curing are hydrolysis-condensation reactions of alkoxysilane, SiH and SiN functionalities. The PEG-graft-PSZ coatings exhibit excellent repellency against gram-negative Neisseria sp. and gram-positive Clostridium sp. in comparison with the pristine polysilazane surface. The anti-adhesion performance of the coatings depends on the grafting density and the chain length of PEG. The shortest PEG(350 g/mol)-graft-PSZ with the highest graft density was found to have the best anti-adhesion performance. As the density of grafted PEG(750 g/mol) and PEG(2000 g/mol) chains onto the PSZ surface is approximately equal, the relative effectiveness of these two types of PEG is controlled by the length of the PEG chain. The PEG(2000 g/mol)-graft-PSZ coatings are more efficient than the PEG(750 g/mol)-graft-PSZ coatings for the bacterial anti-adhesion.
Precise synthesis of undecenyl poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomers as heterofunctional building blocks for the synthesis of linear diblocks or of branched materials
2014, European Polymer Journal
Heterofunctional α-undecenyl-ω-hydroxy poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomers could be designed by initiation. For their synthesis via Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization (AROP) of ethylene oxide, a potassium alcoholate, prepared in situ by reaction of 10-undecene-1-ol with a stoichiometric amount of diphenylmethyl potassium (DPMK), was used. The applicability of the same initiator but in powder form was evaluated for the polymerization of ethylene oxide. This initiator is well-suited for, e.g., automated high-throughput screening approaches by simply weighing in the amount of initiator needed. The macromonomers were characterized by SEC, ¹H NMR, MALDI-TOF MS and light scattering. Independent from the applied approach, well-defined heterobifunctional PEO macromonomers could be obtained. Their solution behavior was investigated in water and methanol by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and in water by critical micelle concentration (cmc) measurements. Chemical modification of the hydroxyl end-group by methyl methacrylate or by propargyl bromide could be achieved leading to heterobifunctional PEO macromonomers. These PEOs offer a great potential as building blocks in macromolecular engineering. PI-b-PEO diblocks or comb-shaped PEOs represent typical examples.
A new siloxane containing imidazolium iodide as electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cell
2013, Electrochimica Acta
Citation Excerpt :
The uniqueness of siloxane salts is that it is soluble in water and organic solvents, thus contributing hydrophobic as well as oleophobic properties to the molecule and hence can reduce the surface tension of both water and organic solvents. This unusual quality of siloxane salts arises from two properties: one is its flexibility which enables it to acquire conformations that results in close and efficient packing at various interfaces and the other is its low cohesive energy derived from its greater voluminous and cross-sectional area of the siloxane unit at the interface [15,18]. The diffusion coefficient of triiodide in the electrolytes was determined by measurement of acyclic voltammogram using a slow scan rate in acetonitrile at room temperature and shown in Table 1 [19].
New ionic liquids based on siloxane diimidazolium iodides (SiDII1, SiDII2, SiDII3) were synthesized and used as electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cells. Modification with siloxane materials has been considered as the most effective method to improve the excellent optical transparency and thermal stability after a great many efforts. The synthesized siloxane diimidazolium iodides are viscous liquid with different color. These electrolytes have different chain length with siloxane moieties. Thermogravimetric analysis showed good thermal stability. Among the three SiDII based electrolytes, SiDII1 showed a maximum photo-conversion efficiency of 6.2%. In addition, the performance of the DSSCs showed relatively reasonable compared with other conventional liquid type electrolytes.
