Synthesis of Hybrid Organic-Organophosphazene Polymers

宾夕法尼亚州立大学化学部的先进材料项目和材料研究部的聚合物项目将该奖项授予宾夕法尼亚州立大学，以设计和合成四种不同类型的含有聚有机磷腈的杂化聚合物。获得该奖项后，Allcock教授将合成含有杂化嵌段聚合物的聚磷腈，以及具有聚磷腈线性或环状侧链和由有机链连接的磷腈环的聚合物。不同的化学反应，如ROMP和ADMET聚合将用于制备这些多功能聚合物，并且它们有望表现出每种聚合物单独无法满足的性能组合。这些聚合物混合物的功能特性可能会在药物输送系统、燃料电池、固态能量存储和光电器件中得到应用。加强聚合物科学的教育和推广计划将是该奖项的另一个成果。有了这个奖项，将设计和合成含有聚磷腈的混合材料，这些聚合物有望在药物输送系统、燃料电池、固态能量存储和光电设备中找到应用。许多聚合化学反应将用于制备这些具有改进性能和功能的多功能杂化材料。此外，将为获得该奖项的学生提供高分子科学方面的研究和教育机会。

The Advanced Materials Program in the Chemistry Division and the Polymers Program in the Division of Materials Research make this award to Pennsylvania State University to design and synthesize four different types of hybrid polymers containing poly (organophosphazenes). With this award, Professor Allcock will synthesize poly phosphazene containing hybrid block polymers, and polymers with poly phosphazene linear or cyclic side chains and phosphazene rings connected by organic chains. Different reaction chemistries such as ROMP and ADMET polymerizations will be used to prepare these multifunctional polymers, and they are expected to exhibit a combination of properties not amenable by each class of polymers separately. Functional properties of these polymer hybrids may find applications in drug delivery systems, fuel cells, and solid-state energy storage and electro-optical devices. Strengthened education and outreach programs in polymer sciences will be another outcome of this award. With this award, hybrid materials containing polyphosphazenes will be designed and synthesized, and these polymers are expected to find applications in drug delivery systems, fuel cells, and solid-state energy storage and electro-optical devices. A number of polymerization chemistries will be used to prepare these multifunctional hybrid materials with improved performance and functionalities. In addition, research and educational opportunities in polymer sciences will be provided to students with this award.
