Syntheses of Lipophilic Polyelectrolytes and their Applications for Functional Materials

在这项研究中，我们证明了在非极性有机溶剂中，由于离子对之间的静电排斥，被亲脂基团包围的大体积和大离子对的亲油聚电解质可以很大程度地扩展其聚合物链。这一结果使我们能够开发出适用于各种有机溶剂的高吸水性聚合物，并为热敏聚合物材料的合理分子设计提供了依据。此外，我们还成功地制备了低温活性的高吸水性聚合物，并在非水的非极性有机溶剂中构建了层层多层膜。

In this research, we demonstrated that the Lipophilic polyelectrolytes with bulky and large ion pairs surrounded by lipophilic groups expand their polymer chains largely in non-polar organic solvents due to electrostatic repulsion among them. This result enabled us to develop super-absorbent polymers for various organic solvents and provided rational molecular design of thermally-sensitive polymer materials. Moreover, we successfully prepared super-absorbent polymers active at low temperature and constructed Layer-by-Layer multilayer thin films in the non-polar organic solvents other than water.
