Abstract:Precise synthetic methods to prepare bottlebrush copolymers with dense and regular side chains toward ultrahigh molecular weight have received much attention for application as optical materials due to large domain size exceeding 100 nm.1-3 To make brush polymers, grafting through is a powerful tool. In spite of outstanding advances toward controlled brush polymers, there are a few reports for synthesis of brush copolymers with ultrahigh molecular weight through combination of living anionic polymerization and ring opening metathesis polymerization,4 because synthetic challenges disrupt a facile synthesis.
In this study, we focused on novel preparation of well-defined brush copolymers based on acrylate substitutes, styrene moieties and norbornenyl POSS. New macromonomers were synthesized by living anionic polymerization using end-functionalized polymers as end-capping of carbanion to make ω-norbornenyl polystyrene moieties. These monomers were narrowly dipersed (< 1.1) and had the predicted molecular weight (< 6.0 kDa). Ring opening metatheis polymerization of all macromonomers was sequencially performed with 3rd Ru catalyst in THF at ambient conditions to synthesize well-defined brush block copolymeres. Block coolymers with ultrahigh molecular weight (> 2500 kDa) and narrow dipersity (< 1.15) were successfully prepared by combination of living polymerizations. Furthermore, new macromonomers during polymerization followed linear first-order kinetic and showed living characteristics.
Such high-quality macromonomers were converted to be well-defined brush polymers by ROMP. The brush block copolymers obtained by sequential ROMP were utilized for the fabrication of highly ordered photonic crystals.

Abstract:We investigated the correlation among film microstructure/composition, electrochemical transistor (OECT) performance, and underwater stability in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) films. Various film characterizations confirmed that crystallized PEDOT:PSS (Crys-P) films have the highly-crystallized anisotropic microstructure with vertically edge-on and horizontally π-π orderings, while unbound styrene sulfonate residues were minimized. Compared with the conventional PEDOT:PSS film, the highly-organized film microstructure in Crys-P lead to remarkable OECT characteristics such as large transconductance (> 20 mS), low contact resistance (< 1 /cm), and extraordinary volumetric capacitance (113 F cm-2). Simultaneously, minimal styrene sulfonate residues in the Crys-P film substantially attenuated the film swelling and afforded the robust OECT stability even after > 20-day water immersion, > 2000-time repeated on-off switching, or high-temperature/pressure sterilization. We expect that the present study will contribute to the in-depth understanding of the material microstructure/composition effect on channel-electrolyte interfaces and mixed ion-hole/electron transport, and the future development of implantable bioelectronics targeting at prolonged neural recording/stimulation.
