Description

Paradigmatic structure
Invention field
The present invention relates to produce the purposes as lubricant with method, the polymer brush forming by described method and the described polymer brush of the polymer brush of the polymeric side chains of covalency bond.
background of invention
Linear polymer brush with the strict restriction of the polymer lateral chain of covalency bonds is in a large number referred to as molecule bottle brush (molecular bottle brush).These polymer brushs are because their new property has significant magnetism, and these character comprise for the stimuli responsive effect of the potential application such as sensor, nano-form, photonic crystal and molecule tension testing machine and ultra-soft rheological characteristics.In addition, shown to be dispersed in solution, then the bottle brush polymkeric substance of surface adsorption is attributable in the molecule between the crowded bristle segment of densification and intermolecular repulsion and show extremely low nano friction characteristic.Based on this prerequisite, polymkeric substance bottle brush and the covalently bound crowded nano lubricating of giving improvement in space due to aggravation of solid surface that can expect strict restriction.
There is the different methods of three kinds of synthetic molecules bottle brush.First, have " being grafted to main chain (grafting to) " method, it need to be connected to preformed macromolecule side chain on polymeric skeleton.This is because space constraint is subject to the puzzlement of intrinsic Finite Density that side chain connects.Secondly, there is " large monomer polymerization (grafting through) " method, it comprises the polymerization of large monomer (with polymerizable groups and the preformed oligopolymer of complete side chain), but be easy to experience polymerization control loss along with side chain lengths increases them, cause bad polymolecularity.Finally, have " from main chain grafting (grafting from) " method, it comprises the initiation site controlled fusion of side chain from the length location of the polymer backbone along strict restriction.For this situation, in all can realizing aspect skeleton size and side chain dimensions two, controlling, thus synthetic complicated bottle brush structure.But in these cases, it is synthetic that research concentrates on solution phase, is then surface adsorption, rather than the target surface of polymkeric substance bottle brush connects.
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is widely used in controlled/living polymerization due to related mild reaction conditions with to the suitability of k wide region monomer.This technology is often applicable to synthesizing the co-polymer of sharp outline in conjunction with the order reactivate of " activity " halogenide end-blocking end of the chain with continuous ATRP polymerization, for example, form block copolymer.Another variant comprises the linear polymer brush with the sharp outline of the polymer lateral chain of a large amount of covalency bonds, and they are called as molecule bottle brush.Recorded from the ATRP of surface site initiation in order to generate fine and close graftomer/multipolymer brush layer comprehensively.But for the crowded challenge that has more in intrinsic space due to skeleton polymer from main chain Graft Method of polymer attached bottle brush from the teeth outwards, this has hindered the growth of side chain (bristle).This space is crowded reflects the ATRP initiation site that uses densification prepared by the individual layer (SAMs) of self-assembly to fill.Previous trial for the functionalisation of surfaces with bottle brush is confined to use large monomer polymerization method (grafting through method), produces the bristle of profile bad luck, or is the preformed bottle brush of physical adsorption from solution.The previous ATRP polymerization of also attempting adopting the SAMs mixing by uses to utilize skeleton and the continuous surface initiation of side chain segment subsequently reduce the initiator density (so that enough spacing to be provided between grafting so that the growth subsequently of side chain) of substrate surface from main chain Graft Method (grafting from approach); But, do not provide the bottle brush of sharp outline to be connected to surperficial unambiguous evidence.In addition, have the inherent defect relevant to SAMs, it is included in the moisture sensitive of the secular instability for oxidation, silane in the situation of mercaptan-Jin system and needs multi-step to synthesize to prepare suitable SAM initiator molecule.
All above-mentioned shortcomings all can be potentially by overcoming to produce ATRP initiator layer in the electroless plating of one step applying plasma.For example, Teare, D.O.H.; Barwick, D.C.; Schofield, W.C.E.; Garrod, R.P.; Ward, L.J.; Badyal, poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) initiator layer that J.P.S. Langmuir 2005,21,11425 discloses pulsed plasma deposition has been successfully used to the polymer brush ATRP of sharp outline to grow on many kinds of solids base material.The method was guaranteed to be covalently attached to base material (for silicon and glass baseplate via the avtive spot producing in interface by electric discharge between nanolayer deposition elementary period, Si-C key will be responsible for adhering to, similarly, for metal, M-C key will be responsible for adhering to, and for polymkeric substance, will be free radical by discharge generation).The density of the functional group existing in surface in addition, can customize by careful fine setting discharge parameter.
Plasma technique has quite been widely used for polymeric coatings to deposit to widely on surface.This technology is considered to be the clean dry type technology that produces less refuse compared with conventional wet chemistry method.Use the method, plasma body is produced by organic molecule, and organic molecule stands electric field action.In the time that this carries out in the situation that there is base material, the polymerization on this base material of the free radical of the compound in plasma body.Conventional polymkeric substance synthesizes to be easy to generate and contains with having the structure of the repeating unit of strong similarity with monomeric substance, but uses the extremely complexity of polymer network of plasma generation.The character of gained coating can be depending on the character of base material and the character of the monomer that uses and deposit its condition.Plasma polymerization is disclosed in International Patent Application WO 98/58117 with the surperficial method that produces water resistant and anti-oil.

gather the plasma-deposited of (vinyl chlorination benzyl) ATRP initiator film
The XPS analysis of poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of pulsed plasma deposition provides elementary composition corresponding to the expected theoretical value based on vinyl chlorination benzyl monomer, therefore shows that the satisfactory texture of Benzyl Chloride functional group keeps, table 1.In addition, do not exist any Si (2p) XPS signal to confirm that the free of pinholes of silicon wafer substrate below covers.The further evidence of the structural integrity of poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of pulsed plasma deposition obtains by Infrared spectroscopy, those features that wherein fingerprint feature close match is measured for this monomer, Fig. 1.These are included in 1263cm -1(CH 2the CH of-Cl 2sway mode) under halide functional group (ATRP cause required) subsequently and at 1495cm -1and 1603cm -1under flexible to substituted benzene ring.In addition, observe at 1629cm -1under the flexible loss of vinyl double bond consistent with polymerization.In the case of plasma-deposited poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of continuous wave, by the lower slightly cl content that detected by XPS and much weak that infrared absorbency obviously demonstrates structure deteriorate greatly, table 1 and Fig. 1 for characteristic Benzyl Chloride functional group.

the ATRP grafting of glycidyl methacrylate and Sodium styrene sulfonate
On self-structure poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush of the ATRP grafting of poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) ATRP initiator film growth of the pulsed plasma deposition of sharp outline produce with for gather that (glycidyl methacrylate) calculate elementary composition to approach consistent XPS elementary composition, table 1 and Fig. 9.Do not exist from Cl (2p) the XPS signal of initiator film below and confirm to be aggregated the covering completely of thing brush.Both characteristic infrared absorbency of measurement of poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) layer for glycidyl methacrylate monomer and ATRP grafting are included in 1726cm -1(for this monomer, owing to being combined with vinyl, 1714cm -1) under ester C=O flexible and at 1152cm -1under C-O flexible, Fig. 2.At 1637cm -1(C=C is flexible) and 941cm -1(vinyl CH 2wave) loss that absorbs of the monomer vinyl located provides the further proof that ATRP occurs.The linearity that the controlled character of the ATRP that cause on surface is gathered (glycidyl methacrylate) the film thickness relative grafting time by monitoring increases, produces 76 ± 6nm hr -1sedimentation rate confirm, Fig. 3.Poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) film thickness of finding ATRP film growth rate and pulsed plasma deposition is irrelevant, confirms that thus ATRP initiation must constrain in plasma polymer surface.In addition, in the situation that other conditions are all identical, omit catalytic copper material from this reaction mixture and cause not detecting poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) grafting after 4 hours, therefore eliminated the autopolymerization possibility of explaining for choosing as reported observe phenomena.
Discovery be grafted to the elementary composition and characteristic infrared absorbency of the XPS of poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) of the ATRP grafting of plasma-deposited poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of continuous wave with for corresponding pulses plasma-deposited to gather those of (vinyl chlorination benzyl) ATRP initiator measured thin film consistent, table 1.But polymer brush film thickness is respectively 26 ± nm and 137 ± 5nm after ATRP grafting in 2 hours, and consistent with the bad structural integrity of the plasma-deposited layer of the plasma-deposited layer of continuous wave relative pulse.
Similarly, the XPS analysis of the PSS of the ATRP grafting of growing on poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) the initiator film of pulsed plasma produce with the theoretical value of calculating approach consistent elementary composition, table 1.Do not exist Cl (2p) signal list Benq material to be completely covered.The amount of finding measured sodium gegenion is more much lower and be attributable to the protonated formation acid of sulfonate ester group than the amount of sulphur.ATRP grafted polymer brushes thickness relative time shows 31 ± 2nm hr -1linear growth rate, Fig. 4.The grafting time that exceedes 90 minutes arrives summit out of control, and this is attributable to the oxygenolysis of catalytic specie (for some common materials of water ATRP).The infrared spectra of the PSS layer of ATRP grafting has disclosed the fingerprint feature of those the fingerprint feature couplings relevant to monomer, Fig. 5.These are included in 1140cm -1, 1188cm -1and 1234cm -1(unsymmetrically SO 2flexible) and 1058cm -1(symmetrical SO 2flexible) under absorbancy.At 1638cm -1lower monomer vinyl C=C disappears after stretching and being absorbed in ATRP polymerization.
bottle brush is manufactured
Poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush of poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) layer grafting from plasma-deposited is exposed to bromoacetic acid to introduce ATRP macromole priming site, Fig. 9 along poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush skeleton.Mixing by XPS ultimate analysis of bromine confirms, table 1.Other evidences that react that dangle between epoxide group and bromoacetic acid in poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) are found by infrared spectroscopy, Fig. 2.At 1254cm -1(oxirane ring breathing), 906cm -1(unsymmetrically annular strain) and 841cm -1(symmetrical ring distortion) locates to roll into a ball to epoxide functional that relevant absorbancy all decays and at 1245cm -1under owing at CH 2cH on-Br 2other absorbancys of waving are obvious.In addition, at 1726cm -1the flexible multiple ester environment that absorb broadening confirmation existence expection in gained macromole evocating agent film of lower ester C=O.
For the sufficient space of side chain " bristle " growth is provided, best macromole evocating agent grafting density is realized by causing the ATRP of poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) and subsequently polymer brush is exposed to bromoacetic acid from continuous wave plasma-deposited poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl).PSS side chain confirms by infrared spectroscopy from these macromole evocating agent layers ATRP grafting, Fig. 6 and Fig. 9.With at 1058cm -1under symmetrical SO 2flexible comparing, from brush skeleton at 1726cm -1under the flexible relative intensity of ester carbonyl group along with the PSS grafting time increases and reduces, this shows the growth of PSS bristle.Confirmation in addition obtains by the increase of the ATRP grafting time of the relative PSS side chain of monitoring film thickness, Fig. 7.In order to prove that PSS side chain occurs from the ATRP grafting of poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush of derivatize, make poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush and the acetic acid vapor reaction (identical derivative chemistry, but shortage halogen initiator atom) that replaces bromoacetic acid of corresponding ATRP grafting.The ATRP condition that is exposed to subsequently Sodium styrene sulfonate continues 120 minutes, result film thickness does not have measurable increase, and the reactivate of therefore having eliminated poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) end of the chain will cause the choosing that supplies that forms segmented copolymer to explain and illustrated the reason of the variation of observing in film thickness and infrared spectra.
Other control experiment comprises that poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) that derived by bromoacetic acid brushed to the macromole evocating agent forming is grafted to gathering on (vinyl chlorination benzyl) initiator film of pulsed plasma deposition, and produce the identical bromine content obtaining by XPS analysis, table 1.But, in the time comparing with the macromole evocating agent based on plasma-deposited poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) nano thin-film of continuous wave, make PSS ATRP grafting within 120 minutes, cause film thickness to increase the sulphur of decay (5nm is to 24nm) and lower amount, table 1.
nano friction
Friction between slip SPM probe tip and polymkeric substance brush layer is measured as the function of nominal load in aqueous environments, Fig. 8.Record Friction dates and height image simultaneously, and select uniform 1 μ m x 1 μ m region (r.m.s. roughness < 2nm) for data gathering.Plasma-deposited poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) layer shows around the friction of 130nN nominal load and increases sharply, and this represents polymer chain replacement (displacement) and wearing and tearing.In addition, compare with poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) and PSS brush layer (from pulsed plasma deposition gather (vinyl chlorination benzyl) initiator film grafting), described bottle brush layer constantly provides lower friction reading.This enhancing is attributable to space repulsion and the water solvent of bottle brush, causes permeability resistance (and improving thus lubricated).These tribology experiments design to utilize internal reference thing in this way, i.e. poly-(NaStS) brush of ATRP grafting on poly-(VBC) layer of pulsed plasma deposition.Even owing to being derived from Atmospheric CO 2being dissolved in pure water medium makes pH reduce the less contribution of the electronegative coulombic repulsion existence of generation, for poly-(NaStS) brush of surfaces A TRP grafting and poly-(the GMA)-grafting of surfaces A TRP grafting-poly-(NaStS) bottle brush, also will expect this factor of existence.By considering this possibility, tribology meter is shown in grafting-poly-(NaStS) bristle comprising in bottle brush and shows the low frictional force of poly-(NaStS) brush counterpart than its linear surface grafting.
In the situation that polymer phase slides to solid surface, proposed frictional force with the variation of shearing rate owing to the transformation from coil to flexible conformation, and therefore expect and need Frictional force gauge to reveal the low dependency to shearing rate for the polymkeric substance brush layer (existing with the conformation of stretching under good solvent condition) of fine and close grafting.Measure the surface force balance test of force of sliding friction between polymkeric substance brush layer and only find weak speed dependence, and be also this situation for the scan-probe friction research of the fixing polyelectrolyte in the polyelectrolyte of relatively physical adsorption and surface.Therefore, consider that bottle brush of the present invention is covalently bound to base material, can expect that frictional force is because any variation that shearing rate causes is all relatively little.
discuss
Poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) that previously shown pulsed plasma deposition is the effective ATRP initiator of non-normal manner.This is attributable to stable benzyl, and this benzyl allows to extract chlorine to easily there is (because benzyl is stablized by aromatic ring) between ATRP induction period from Benzyl Chloride surface functional group.Therefore, the effective surface density of the structural integrity control ATRP initiation site of Benzyl Chloride group in the film of plasma deposition.This is obvious for crowded poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) and the PSS brush layer of densification being generated by poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of the pulsed plasma deposition of sharp outline in structure by ATRP.These are grown in a controlled manner, and wherein polymer brush thickness is linear increases, and the crowded driving chain in space adopts the conformation of extending, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.For the surface density of polymer brush that reduces grafting is to be provided for the space of side chain (bristle) growth, by infrared and XPS analysis show plasma-deposited poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) film of continuous wave because poor structural integrity contains more low-density complete Benzyl Chloride initiator group.Between continuous wave plasma-deposited poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) and poly-(the vinyl chlorination benzyl) of pulsed plasma deposition, this density variation of Benzyl Chloride initiation site can be explained based on they corresponding film growth mechanism.During pulsed plasma deposition, electric discharge modulation comprises that short plasma body working cycle connects the phase (microsecond) to produce avtive spot via VUV irradiation, ion and electronics bombardment in gas phase and on growing film surface, be then in the case of do not exist to any UV, ion or the electronics of growing film bring out the prolongation pulse of following at each damage disconnect the phase (millisecond) in the conventional carbon-to-carbon double bond polymerization process of generation.The conventional polymerization of this class path is strongly disturbed under continuous wave condition of plasma, and wherein in electric discharge, contained group, ion and the multiple reaction that excites material are played larger effect causing aspect structure deteriorate.In addition, compared with pulsed plasma deposition (0.7W), the mean power that is fed to vinyl chlorination benzyl precursor vapor during continuous wave plasma discharge (30W) is significantly larger.
Therefore, compared with using prepared by pulse plasma concrete conditions in the establishment of a specific crime those, significantly lower for the thickness of poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) layer of the ATRP grafting of poly-(vinyl chlorination benzyl) measured thin film of continuous wave deposition.Consider identical ATRP condition, can think that poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush length between the initiator nano thin-film of pulsed plasma deposition and the plasma-deposited initiator nano thin-film of continuous wave of grafting is suitable, therefore the avalanche conformation that lower film thickness is attributable to gather (glycidyl methacrylate) chain in a rear situation, this comes from lower surperficial initiation site density.
Poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush that above-mentioned surface connects is exposed to the fixing macromole evocating agent material in surface of bromoacetic acid generation sharp outline subsequently.The method is followed the conduct of previous report and is brushed and synthesize for the solution phase macromole evocating agent of the precursor of bottle brush, the esterification of the hydroxyl that dangles based on poly-(hydroxyethyl methylacrylate) skeleton polymer.In the present invention research, the epoxy-functional comprising in poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush is for provide larger reaction handling with the esterification of bromoacetic acid steam, Fig. 9, table 1 and Fig. 2.This overall ATRP method is the key (by contrast, lack the control relevant to conventional polymerization starter and cause indefinite macromole evocating agent brush and side chain) that forms the macromole evocating agent brush of sharp outline and synthesize subsequently bottle brush bristle.
The sign of surperficial fixing bottle brush polymkeric substance is challenging.Method is to analyze the polymkeric substance forming in solution and the sample obtaining via introducing sacrifice property initiator material, but it is as crowded in space that this fails to illustrate the exclusive problem of surface connection.In the present invention's research, the sulfonate ester group of PSS side chain (bristle) provides strong characteristic infrared absorbency, and it increases with film thickness, Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.Confirm that when lack these two trend (with the esterification of acetic acid replacement bromoacetic acid, Fig. 9) in the time that poly-(glycidyl methacrylate) brush skeleton does not exist initiator bromo PSS chain (bristle) only just forms in the time there is initiation site along polymer brush.
Consider intrinsic control is provided aspect macromolecular conformation, the bottle brush polymkeric substance of the sharp outline that the surface of preparing by ATRP connects has tempting prospect for the new surface properties of research and development as oilness, especially nano lubricating.The customization of skeleton and bristle segment can be used " from main chain grafting " method to realize; In addition, the surface density of skeleton grafting also can be used the plasma chemistry deposition of initiation site to control independently to allow predetermined side chain (bristle) growth.
Compare with neutral hydrophilic brush, polyelectrolyte brush shows high osmotic pressure (charge repulsion) in aqueous environments, and this has strengthened their oilness.Also report that surface grafting polyelectrolyte brush shows this class behavior.In the present invention's research, find that the bottle brush of the surface connection of studying is compared and shown even lower frictional force with their composition linear polymer brush counterpart.This characteristic is attributable to that the former is compacter (and for hydration), described in the early report in and low asymmetric rub measurement result that for polyelectrolyte brush observe lubricated to the similar wetting ability bottle brush enhancing by polymer on base material about physical adsorption.PSS brush and being dried of bottle brush layer for scan-probe rub measurement highly all keep identical (50nm, Fig. 8).XPS analysis shows, sulfur content in the surface of PSS bottle brush is less than the sulfur content of brush layer (is respectively 3 ± 1 and 7 ± 1%, table 1), this shows lower gegenion density, the viewpoint that the negative friction reducing increases owing to the number of gegenion in per unit area thus.Therefore the friction, reducing is relevant with molecular geometry (linear vs bottle brush).Can expect and increase macromole rigidity from polymer backbone graft side chain to form bottle brush structure.
The key advantage of the inventive method relates to and bottle brush is independent of to base material covalency is anchored to surface, and it provides than the counterpart of they physical adsorptions scope of suitability more widely.The potential application of the bottle brush that this class surface connects can comprise actuator, sensor, nanostructure tectonic element, generate the template of metal nanometer line and there is the simulation biomolecules (being connected Saliva Orthana with epithelium such as protein-polysaccharide) of the bottle brush structure for carrying out Biolubrication.
conclusion
The initiator film that the polymkeric substance bottle brush that surface connects is deposited by plasma chemistry by ATRP generates.The variation of plasma-deposited parameter makes it possible to customize the surface density of ATRP initiation site, and this allows to control the spacing of macromole evocating agent then, thereby allows growing polymer brush side chain (bristle).Transverse force scanning probe microscopy has shown to gather (glycidyl methacrylate)-grafting-PSS bottle brush-combination with decorative surfaces and has caused lubricated enhancing.
