Incorporation of Dyes into Polystyrene‐block‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine) Nanotemplates

Abstract: Summary: The present study provides some basic concepts of functionalization of diblock copolymer (BC) nanotemplates for optical applications. It is focused on the polystyrene‐block‐poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (PS‐b‐P4VP) building medium which is suitable for hydrogen bonding, undergoes phase segregation, and is well‐accessible. Two techniques are described and demonstrated on several dye complexes with PS‐b‐P4VP. Relation between optical properties and thin film structure is tentatively studied in dependence on sol… Show more

“…It is interesting to note that the P4VP chains are bounded to the glassy PS and the properties of the nanostructure is pH sensitive. 54 In addition, other functionalities can be easily introduced by incorporating other species, susceptible to specifically interact with P4VP chain such as, anionic dyes 55 or inorganic salts, as illustrated below.…”

“…Optically active SMA nanotemplates were also developed. For this, two different techniques are used for functionalization of PS‐ b ‐P4VP based nanotemplates 40. Either a luminescent additive (e.g., 1‐pyrenemethanol – PyM) is incorporated into the SMA instead of HABA (direct funtionalization).…”

“…For a more precisely controlled dispersion of the dyes with a polymer, an additional interaction is beneficial between two moieties at the molecular level as demonstrated in the recent work by Uda et al [25] in which organic azulene dye molecules are well stabilized in separate nanometer-scale cavities of a polystyrene clathrate crystal. In this regard, self-assembled amphiphilic block copolymer micelles that form polar cores with extended coronas in a non-polar medium [26][27][28] can be convenient and effective for dispersing M-Pc dyes in a nonpolar solvent when the interaction between the M-Pc and the polar block is controlled. Good film formation of the block copolymer micelles based on a spin-coating technique is also beneficial for fabricating a thin polymer film with a well dispersed M-Pc dye.…”
