Polymer dispersed self-assembling small molecules

超分子组装的研究，例如，氢键和p-堆积相互作用是目前活跃的研究领域。控制这种组装以提供最佳形态（例如，用于喷墨应用）是我们研究具有不同长度烷基侧链的氨基甲酸酯的目的。这些分子还在特定溶剂中形成有机凝胶。我们还报道了苝封端的聚二甲基硅氧烷的胶束和囊泡的组装，由于通过p-堆叠的自组装的苝。在这里，自组装分子在聚合物基体中形成相分离的聚集体结构。该提案旨在研究这些自组装分子分散在其中的聚合物复合材料的形态，并探索控制这些形态的方法。虽然已经有关于聚合物分散液晶形态的研究，但据我们所知，涉及自组装小分子的那些迄今尚未探索。我们相信，还没有研究报道自组装分子分散在基质中，以及自组装如何被扰动或促进新的形态设计。我们正在开展这些研究。小分子的聚合物凝胶迄今为止还没有报道。因此，这是一个新的和新颖的研究领域，这可能会导致广泛的应用和相关研究。我们认为，我们正在开辟一个新的研究方向。因此，（1）自组装小分子将分散在聚合物基质中，我们将研究氢键，p-堆叠或类似相互作用如何影响小分子的分散。将研究基本的分子机制。(2)聚合物的两亲性系统，使用功能分子适当的光电和光子应用将被设计和手段来控制其自组装形态将被研究。(3)还将制备掺入这种自组装分子的聚合物凝胶。

Studies on supramolecular assembly, mediated by e.g., hydrogen bond and p-stacking interactions is an active area of research at this time. Controlling such assembly to provide optimum morphology (e.g., for inkjet applications) was the purpose of our studies on carbamates with alkyl side chains of different lengths. These molecules also form organo-gels in specific solvents. We also reported the micellar and vesicular assembly of perylene end-capped poly (dimethyl siloxane) due to the self-assembly of the perylene via p-stacking. Here the self-assembled molecules form phase separated aggregate structures in the polymer matrix This proposal aims at studying the morphologies of polymer composites in which these self-assembling molecules are dispersed and at exploring the means of controlling these. Although there have been studies on the morphology of polymer dispersed liquid crystals, to the best of our knowledge, those involving self-assembling small molecules have not been explored so far. We believe that no study has been reported where self- assembling molecules are dispersed in the matrix, and how the self-assembly is perturbed or facilitates novel morphological designs. We are initiating such studies. Polymer gels with small molecules have never been reported so far. Thus, this is a new and novel area of research, which could lead to a wide range of applications and related studies. We believe that we are thus opening up a new direction of research. Thus, (1) Self-assembling small molecules will be dispersed in a polymer matrix and we will study how the dispersion of the small molecule is affected by the hydrogen bond, p-stacking or similar interactions. The basic molecular mechanisms will be studied. (2) Polymeric amphiphilic systems, using functional molecules appropriate to optoelectronic and photonic applications will be designed and means to control their self-assembled morphologies will be studied. (3) Polymer gels incorporating such self-assembling molecules will also be prepared.
