AbstractWe investigated the interplay between different mechanisms of the lateral and vertical segregation in the synthesized via “grafting from” approach symmetric A/B (where A and B are poly(styrene-co-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene) and poly(methylmethacrylate), respectively) polymer brushes upon exposure to different solvents. We used X-ray photoemission electron spectroscopy and microscopy (X-PEEM), AFM, water contact angle measurements, and oxygen plasma etching to study morphology of the brushes. The ripple morphology after toluene (nonselective solvent) revealed elongated lamellar-like domains of A and B polymers alternating across the surface. The dimple-A morphology consisting of round clusters of the polymer A was observed after acetone (selective solvent for B). The top layer was enriched with the polymer B showing that the brush underwent both the lateral and vertical phase segregation. A qualitative agreement with predictions of SCF theory was found.

The synthesis of polymer-grafted nanoparticles (PGNPs) or hairy nanoparticles (HNPs) by tethering of polymer chains to the surface of nanoparticles is an important technique to obtain nanostructured hybrid materials that have been widely used in the formulation of advanced polymer nanocomposites. Ceramic-based polymer nanocomposites integrate key attributes of polymer and ceramic nanomaterial to improve the dielectric properties such as breakdown strength, energy density and dielectric loss. This review describes the ”grafting from” and ”grafting to” approaches commonly adopted to graft polymer chains on NPs pertaining to nano-dielectrics. The article also covers various surface initiated controlled radical polymerization techniques, along with templated approaches for grafting of polymer chains onto SiO2, TiO2, BaTiO3, and Al2O3 nanomaterials. As a look towards applications, an outlook on high-performance polymer nanocomposite capacitors for the design of high energy density pulsed power thin-film capacitors is also presented.

Polymer grafting from graphitic carbon materials has been explored for several decades. Currently existing methods mostly employ harsh chemical treatment to generate defect site in graphitic carbon plane, which are used as active site for polymerization of precursors. Unfortunately, the treatment cause serious degradation of chemical structure and material properties. Here, we present a straightforward route for growth of polyaniline chain from nitrogen (N)-sites of carbon nanotubes. N site in the CNT wall initiates the polymerization of aniline monomer, which generates seamless hybrids composed of polyaniline directly grafted onto the CNT walls. The synthesized hybrids show excellent synergistic electrochemical performance, and are employed for electrodes of pseudo-capacitor. This approach offers an efficient way to obtain hybrid system consisting of conducting polymers directly grafted from graphitic dopant sites.
