In the present paper, a new direct copolymerization method of epsilon-caprolactone (epsilon-CL) and bishydroxyethylene terephthalate (BHET) in the presence of Ti(OBu)(4) was proposed for the synthesis of PCL-b-PET. The PCL-b-PET copolymer was characterized by IR, GPC and H-1-NMR techniques, and the effects of synthesis conditions, such as temperature, reaction time and concentration of catalyst on the copolymerization were discussed.展开更多

In this work, we systematically studied the effects of the molecular weights of homopolymer inks and transfer conditions on the MTP process. We explored a large range of molecular weights（~3.5-56 kg·mol^（-1）） of hydroxyl-terminated polystyrene（PS-OH） and hydroxyl-terminated poly（methyl methacrylate）（PMMA-OH） in the MTP process, and found that the resulting chemical patterns on replicas from all five blends were functional and able to direct the assembly of films of the same blends. The transfer temperature and the film annealing sequences had an impact on the MTP process. MTP was sensitive to the transfer temperature and could only be performed within a certain temperature range, i.e. higher than the glass transition temperature（T_g） of copolymers and lower than the rearrangement temperature of the assembled domains. Pre-organization of the blend films was also necessary for MTP since the preferential wetting of PMMA domains at the replica surface might result in the formation of a PMMA wetting layer to prevent the presentation of underlying chemical patterns to the replica surface.展开更多
