AbstractBased on the combination of the “arm-first” and “core-first” strategies, the miktoarm star-shaped copolymer PLLA2PCL2 and the inverse star-block copolymer (PCL-b-PLLA)2-core-(PCL-b-PLLA)2 were designed and synthesized by the combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and a click reaction. The miktoarm star-shaped copolymer PLLA2PCL2 was synthesized by a click reaction of an azido macroinitiator PLLA2(N3)2 and HC≡C-PCL. The inverse star-block copolymer (PCL-b-PLLA)2-core-(PCL-b-PLLA)2 was synthesized by a click reaction of an azido macroinitiator (PCL-b-PLLA)2(N3)2 and HC≡C-PCL-b-PLLA. The structures of these star polymers were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatograph (GPC). The inverse star-block copolymer could be used to study the potential relationship between polymer structure and properties, which has a unique structure and good crystallization properties.

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-polystyrene (PS)star-block copolymer with a cross-linked microgel core were synthesized by the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of St and lipase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-CL. The characterization of PCL-Br, PCL-PS-Br macroinitiator and PCL-PS Star-block copolymers was detected by GPC and 1H NMR. Results showed that the target star-block copolymers were successfully prepared.

Abstract The Mn2+ and Mo6+ based Metal-mercaptoacetate (Metal-MA) hybrids were prepared by a simple acid-base titration method. The prepared Metal-MA hybrids were analysed by FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, particle size analyser (PSA), XRD and EDX. The prepared Metal-MA hybrids were investigated to assess their catalytic activity for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) in the absence of an initiator at 160 oC in N2 atmosphere by varying the catalyst concentration and temperature. The catalytic activity of the Metal-MA hybrid towards the ROP of CL was concluded by the FTIR-RI method. The % yield, degradation temperature (Td), melting temperature (Tm) and molecular weight (Mw) of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) were also investigated. The structure of PCL was comprehended by analysing its NMR spectrum. The activation energy (Ea) for the ROP of CL was determined as 10,363 Kcal/mol. A linear increase in Mw of PCL with the increasing [M0/I0] ratio was also noticed.

In this exploration Poly lactic corrosive (PLA) was orchestrated the ring-opening polymerization Poly lactic corrosive (PLA) blended with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) which prepared by solution. Blends thin films Synthesis by spin coating technique and using Tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent. PLA powder was 'characterized by' 'X-ray' 'diffraction', '(FT-IR)'. pure Optical properties (PLA), (PLA)/P3HT blends thin films with different percentage of P3HT (0, 1, 2, and 3) wt% were investigated using UV-VS spectroscopy The results showed that the absorption, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient and conductivity increase with increasing the rate of deformation P3HT, The energy gap decreases with increasing deformation.
