The fluorescent hyperbranched polyether (FPEOTM) was obtained by end capping the hyperbranched poly(hydroxyl ether) (PEOTM) with vip molecules N,N-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMABA). In addition, in the presence of triethylamine, the hyperbranched polysulfone-amine with terminal double bonds (HPSA) was synthesized by polyaddition of a new AB2 type monomer (SAP, sulfone amine piperazine) at 40℃ for 60 h in chloroform solution. Then the fluorescent hyperbranched polysulfone-amine (FHPSA) was prepared by addition of vip molecules N,N-dimethylaminoanilines (DMAA) with the terminal double bonds of HPSA. The two resulting polymers fluoresce yellow-green color in both solid and solution states. The maximum emission wavelength is (460 ±10) nm and (470±10) nm, respectively. A novel 'complex quenching effect' for hyperbranched polymer was observed. The fluorescence can be quenched by transition metal展开更多

However,the influence of the non-fluorinated block on the surface structure of the copolymer film is unknown. Various molecular weight poly(butyl methacrylates) (PBMA) end-capped with 2-perfluorooctylethyl methacrylate (FMA) units (PBMA-ec-FMA) have been synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The effect of the PBMA block length on the surface structure and properties of the polymers both in the solid state and in solution was investigated using various techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicated that longer PBMA blocks enhanced both the enrichment of the fluorinated moieties and the order of the packing orientation of the perfluoroalkyl side chains on the surface. This enhancement was attributed mainly to the molecular aggregate structure of the end-capped polymers with long PBMA blocks in the solution and to the interfacial structure at the air/liquid interface,which favors the -(CF2)7CF3 moieties self-assembling on the polymer surface during film formation. This observation suggests that the polyacrylate block structure in fluorinated diblock copolymers,in addition to the fluorinated monomer content,plays an important role in structure formation on the solid surface.展开更多

The influences of end-capping groups on the device performance were studied.The four materials exhibited different physical and chemical properties due to the variation of end-capping groups, which further affect the exciton dissociation, charge transport, morphology of the bulk-heterojunction films and device performance. Among them, IFT-IC-based device delivered the best power conversion efficiency of 7.16% due to proper nano-scale phase separation morphology and high electron mobility, while the devices based on the other acceptors achieved lower device performance(4.14% for IFT-TH, <1% for IFT-ECA and IFT-M). Our results indicate the importance of choosing suitable electron-withdrawing groups to construct high-performance non-fullerene acceptors based on A-D-A motif.展开更多
