Summary: The propene polymerization behavior of two typical bis(phenoxyimine) titanium catalysts has been investigated by varying reaction conditions, such as the monomer concentration, the solvent, and the cocatalyst. The experimental results indicate that the stereoregularity and regioregularity of the obtained poly(propylene)s are significantly affected by the reaction conditions. Fractionation of some poly(propylene) samples indicates the formation of macromolecules of different stereoregularity in the same run, suggesting that different active complexes can be generated in situ from these bis(phenoxyimine) titanium precatalysts.

Copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides is employed to generate functional polycarbonates. The introduction of reactive double bonds at a poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) backbone is realized by the copolymerization of aliphatic alkene epoxides with propylene oxide (PO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). A series of copolymers with random structure and varying comonomer content (3–22%) with molecular weights in the range of 22 000–34 000 g mol?1 is synthesized and characterized with respect to their microstructure and thermal properties. The facile transformation of the double bonds is verified by a thiol‐ene reaction, resulting in quantitative conversion of the double bonds. Polycarbonate derivatives with multiple functionalities are prepared, providing suitable moieties for further grafting.

Summary: The self‐diffusion coefficient of MAO confined within a silica membrane is not experimentally accessible by traditional PFG NMR measurements, probably due to a susceptibility effect resulting in rather broad, unobservable resonance lines. A more indirect approach was therefore applied to probe the diffusivity of MAO within a silica membrane. MAO confined in a bulk toluene solution on one side of the membrane was free to diffuse through the membrane (saturated with toluene) and into a corresponding deuterated toluene solution on the other side of the membrane where its proton NMR signal intensity was monitored as a function of time. By introducing a relevant diffusion model, the diffusivities of both toluene and MAO were derived by model‐fitting. By refining the diffusion model, the formation of methane within the silica was explained, and its diffusivity estimated. The results suggest a significant reduction in diffusivities of both MAO and toluene within the silica as compared to the corresponding diffusivities in bulk solution.

Summary: The crystallization behavior and kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) in polystyrene/poly(ethylene oxide) heteroarm star copolymers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. A comparison between star and linear amorphous‐crystalline block copolymers showed that the macromolecular architecture is an important factor affecting crystallinity. The following points were observed: the equilibrium melting point is higher in the star copolymers, the crystallinity reduces as the number of arms increases, leading to smaller and ill‐defined spherulites, and crystallization proceeds faster in linear copolymers at low supercooling.

Summary: Hydrophobically substituted diallylamines bearing a hexyl, dodecyl, or octadecyl chain were synthesized and homopolymerized as hydrochlorides. Copolymerization of the diallylamines with maleic acid produces alternating copolymers. The copolymers behave as amphiphilic polyampholytes and dissolve best in the acidic or in the basic form. Only the copolymer with the hexyl chain could be dissolved in aqueous solvents and shows hydrophobic association. The copolymers with the longer alkyl chains require polar protic organic solvents. All polymers are amorphous, but show a superstructure in bulk due to their amphiphilicity.

Summary: The synthesis and thermal behaviour of two new polyoxetanes with side chains having a dimer structure mesogen‐spacer‐mesogen and a long terminal alkyl group are reported. The two polymers differ in the chemical structure of the central spacer. The polyoxetanes have been obtained by cationic ring‐opening polymerisation of an appropriately substituted oxetane ring. Both polyoxetanes studied exhibit liquid crystalline properties showing a similar sequence of phases. DSC and synchrotron experiments indicate that a highly ordered phase with a probable orthorhombic packing is observed at low temperature. On heating, this phase melts into a mesophase with hexagonal order within the smectic layers, which, on further heating, is transformed into a disordered smectic mesophase.

The miscibility/immiscibility behavior of CPS/PDMAEMA binary blends were investigated by means of DSC and optical microscopy. CPS was prepared by RAFT polymerization. CPS in a molecular weight range of 5 200–14 400 g · mol?1 was found to be miscible with PDMAEMA as shown by the existence of a single glass transition, whereas benzyl‐terminated polystyrene with a similar molecular weight was immiscible with PDMAEMA. DSC results suggested that the carboxylic acid terminal groups effectively operated as miscibility enhancers in polystyrene/PDMAEMA blends. Moreover, it was observed that this effect depended on the molecular weight of CPS and the hydrogen bonding function of solvents.

A series of substituted fluorenes with vinyl groups as reactive sites were synthesized and characterized. Fluorene‐based polymers with vinyl groups as end chains and side chains functionalities were also prepared. In both cases, successful preparation of functionalized Parylene C films (modylayers) was achieved. The set of spectral methods used has allowed us to conclude that such functionalization is based on the chemical reaction of double bonds with xylylene radicals during deposition process. Parylene C films chemically modified with specially synthesized polyfluorenes showed PL quantum efficiency comparable with neat polyfluorenes.

A historical overview of the role of NMR spectroscopy in macromolecular science in general and its coverage in “Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics” in particular is given. In the early days physics‐application to study molecular dynamics, partial alignment of macromolecules and phase separation prevailed, deduced from broad‐line solid‐state NMR. Only somewhat later, high‐resolution NMR in solution was established as an important tool for elucidating the chain microstructure. In the future, these two aspects are expected to merge.

Summary: In this paper, we describe the multiple morphogenesis of poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)‐directed silicas through the facile tuning of the media in which the PEIs pre‐organize. The silica shapes and structures ranged from nanofiber‐based asters, fans, particles, plates, and/or curved films to large aggregates composed of unit nanoribbon structures and networks that contained nanospheres or particles, depending on the media compositions or media modulations coupled with the polymer concentrations and chain architectures. We found that the media modulations not only controlled the formation of the silica unit structures but also manipulated the hierarchical structures based on the unit silicas. Furthermore, methanol modulation successfully allows us to elucidate the dependence of silica deposition ability on the polymer chain architectures that cause subtle differences in their aggregates. The approach of methanol modulation to obtain shaped silicas, which involves both PEI aggregation and silica deposition at room temperature, is of particular interest to applications for the immobilization of bioactive components.

This paper reports the assignment of the 13C NMR resonances of the Sββ and Sαγ methylenes observed in the spectra of copolymers of propylene with trace amounts of enriched ethylene‐1‐13C. The assignment is achieved by comparing the chemical shifts calculated by an empirical method (at the CH2 stereochemical pseudohexad level), with the experimental spectra of regioregular copolymers with different stereochemical structure. The implications of the observed Sββ and Sαγ resonances on the stereochemical polymerization mechanisms are also discussed.

A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymers with terpyridine units in the side chains was obtained by free radical polymerization. The free terpyridine units were complexed by iron(II ) and zinc(II ) ions, and the complexation behavior was studied in detail, utilizing UV‐vis and viscosity titration experiments. Complexation of the polymer chains could be observed, which resulted in characteristic UV‐vis absorption bands and an increase in the solution viscosity. Addition of a strong competitive ligand (hydroxyethyl ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, HEEDTA) resulted in an efficient decomplexation.

Summary: Oxazoline functionalities were introduced onto the surface of polyacrylonitrile particles and polyacrylonitrile‐grafted films by the catalyzed reaction of a substituted aminoalcohol with the nitrile groups. The resulting oxazoline group was reacted with methyl triflate to use the resulting oxazolinium salt as initiator for the ring opening grafting of 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline. The products were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The modification of polyacrylonitrile with the substituted aminoalcohol achieves high conversions. Conversely, the amount of grafted 2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline is low. The results show that controlled levels of 2‐oxazolines or polyoxazolines can be incorporated onto the surface of polyacrylonitrile.

Using hot‐stage atomic force microscopy, the thickening processes of monolayer crystals of PEO ( = 5 000 g · mol?1 and = 1.008) from one‐folded (FC1) to extended‐chain (EC) lamellae are experimentally monitored at three temperatures: 50, 52, and 58 °C. At 50 °C some small areas in large FC1 crystals spontaneously thicken into EC crystals. At 52 °C the spontaneously thickened area further expands so as to inductively thicken the entire FC1 lamella into EC lamella. At 58 °C EC crystals first force the adjacent FC1 crystals to melt and then absorb the melted molecules to grow laterally into large EC lamellae till all FC1 lamellae vanish. The three thickening steps express the main thickening process of lamellar crystals from a metastable state to another metastable (or equilibrium) state. The possible mechanisms are discussed in the text.

Time‐resolved synchrotron X‐ray and DSC experiments were applied to investigate the phase behaviour of poly(diethylene glycol p,p′‐bibenzoate), PDEB. The DSC results are indicative of the formation of a smectic mesophase, previously identified as a SmCA type, which can be easily quenched down to room temperature. However, the synchrotron results show that the SmCA phase undergoes some kind of ordering or transformation at temperatures below 110 °C. Moreover, the annealing of PDEB at temperatures above Tg for sufficiently long times leads to the formation of a highly ordered structure, although very thin crystals and low crystallinities are obtained.

Summary: The synthetic routes to three series of liquid crystal conducting polymers (based on pyrrole, thiophene, and aniline monomers) are reported and the optimum conditions for polymer preparation are described. These polymers show increased conductivity when laser‐aligned, the greatest effect being shown by the N‐substituted pyrrole‐based system. Information on their liquid crystal and spectroscopic properties and other characteristics are also included.

The unprecedented ability of neodymium‐based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) as polymerisation pre‐catalysts towards isoprene is reported. Combined with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified MAO (MMAO), they afford mainly cis‐selective polyisoprene, up to 90.7%. Both the activity and the selectivity are tentatively ascribed to the intrinsic microstructure of the starting materials. Compared to conventional carboxylates, MOFs associated to an Al co‐catalyst are less active but the selectivity is found to be higher, and it may be modified by controlling the access to the pores, which would be favored at higher temperatures. Some residual crystalline MOF remains disseminated within the polymer matrix, as shown by X‐ray diffraction and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy studies.

Summary: A technique to cover microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), such as micromechanical cantilever (MC) sensors, with a covalently bound brush layer has been developed. The polymer layer was grown using a “grafting‐from” synthesis of polymer brushes under mild conditions, by surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and ellipsometry have revealed a uniform thickness of about 12 nm from which a grafting density of polymer brushes of 0.19 chains · nm?2 was estimated. The coating with polymer brushes can be realized on a selected surface. It was shown that a single‐sided brush layer swells reversibly in toluene, resulting in a bending of the micromechanical cantilever.
