Self-Assembly of Hierarchical Structures Using Cyclotriphosphazene-Containing Poly(substituted methylene) Block Copolymers
The
cyclotriphosphazene-substituted diazoacetate homopolymer (polyPNDA′)
(PNDA′ = hexaphenoxy-substituted phosphazene-containing methylene)
and a novel poly(substituted methylene) block copolymer, polyPNDA′-<i>block</i>-poly(hexyloxycarbonylmethylene) (polyPNDA’-<i>b</i>-polyHDA′), were synthesized, and the self-assembly
behavior of these polymers was studied in detail. A hexagonally packed
aggregated structure was observed in the self-assembled structure
of polyPNDA′, whereas a lamellar structure was observed in
the microphase-separated nanoassembly of polyPNDA′-<i>b</i>-polyHDA′. These results indicate that a hierarchical
structure composed of highly regular polyPNDA′ nanoaggregates
and the long-range microphase-separated polyPNDA′ and polyHDA′
domains had formed
