Abstract
Azide end-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-N 3) was incorporated into the periphery of well-defined alkyne-polystyrene50-poly(divinyl benzene) (alkyne-PS 50-polyDVB) and alkyne-poly(tert-butyl acrylate)43- poly(divinyl benzene) (alkyne-PtBA43-polyDVB) multiarm star polymers via highly efficient azide-alkyne click reaction, resulting in POSS-PS 50-polyDVB and POSS-PtBA43-polyDVB multiarm star block copolymers respectively, in the solution of tetrahydrofuran/N,N-dimethyl formamide, CuBr/N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) at room temperature for 24 h. Linear precursors and star polymers obtained in this study were characterized 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and triple detection GPC (TD-GPC). Absolute molecular weight, hydrodynamic radius, and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) values for all star polymers were determined by TD-GPC.
