Nanoscale Self-Assembly of Well-Defined Binary Mixed Homopolymer Brushes Grafted on Inorganic Particles Lei Zhu, Case Western Reserve University, DMR The focus of this Materials World Network project is the phase morphology of binary mixed polymer brushes composed of two distinct homopolymers randomly or alternately immobilized via covalent bonds on inorganic particles and their applications in polymer nanocomposites. We seek to achieve fundamental understanding of the effects of molecular weight, surface free energy, grafting density, substrate geometry, and environmental conditions on the phase behavior of two surface-tethered polymers in a nanoscale confined geometry. The gained knowledge from this work will be crucial for technological applications of binary mixed polymer brushes in many other areas. In this year, we studied the self-assembly of mixed polystyrene (PS)/poly(tert-butylacrylate) (PtBA) brushes in selective polymer matrices. When PtBA homopolymers with different molecular weights are used as the matrix, both wet- brush [matrix molecular weight (MW) is lower than the brush MW] and dry-brush (matrix MW is higher than the brush MW) states can be obtained. Fig. 1 shows that the self-assembly of mixed PS/PtBA brushes on 150-nm SiO 2 particles changed from isolated PS domains to bicontinueous PS/PtBA morphology with increasing the PtBA matrix MW. Fig. 1. (top panel) : TEM micrographs of mixed brush-grafted silica particles in the matrix of (A) PtBA, M n =7k Da, (B) PtBA, M n =23k Da, (C) PtBA, M n =65k Da, and (D) without PtBA matrix. (bottom panel) Schematic representation of mixed brush-grafted SiO 2 particles in the (left) wet-brush and (right) dry-brush states.
