Synthesis and hierarchical self-assembly of rod− rod block copolymers via click chemistry between mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymers and helical …
A series of novel rod− rod diblock copolymers containing poly {2, 5-bis [(4-methoxyphenyl) oxycarbonyl] styrene}(PMPCS) and poly (γ-benzyl-l-glutamate)(PBLG) were synthesized by click chemistry from alkyne-and azide-functionalized homopolymers. The α-alkyne PMPCS homopolymers were synthesized by copper-mediated atom transfer radical polymerization with a bromine-containing α-alkyne bifunctional initiator, and α-azido PBLG ...
