    　View Summary

    Nanofabricated polymers are extremely useful due to their high functionalities caused by the inherent multiscale structures of the nanostructured polymers. Nanostructured polymers for biocoatings can be classified into zero-dimensional (0D) polymeric nanoparticles, 1D polymeric nanofibers, and 2D polymeric nanosheets. The nanostructured polymers with such different dimensions were most often fabricated by emulsion polymerization, electrospinning, and spin coating. To add a desirable and advanced functionality to the targeted nanostructured polymers, surface modifications of the polymers can be highly advantageous. The surface modifications such as plasma etching, plasma-induced cross-linking, plasma polymerization, and chemical vapor deposition can effectively modify the surface characteristics of the nanofabricated polymers, leading to the enhancement of the bulk physical properties of the polymers. In this chapter, the fabrication methods of such nanostructured polymers are reviewed. In addition, several successful cases of well-controlled surface conditions of polymers by plasma processing are introduced.

  • Blending Bottlebrush Polymers for Compensation of Orientation Birefringence of Polystyrene for Use as an Optical Polymer

    Tamura M., Kurokawa N., Hotta A.

    ACS Applied Polymer Materials （ACS Applied Polymer Materials)  5 （ 12 ） 10245 - 10255 2023.12

    　View Summary

    For optical applications, including lenses, widely used polystyrene (PS) has not received much attention due to its considerably high birefringence. In this study, an efficient method was introduced to compensate for the orientation birefringence of PS through bottlebrush polymers with well-controlled PS graft chains (PS-BBP). PS-BBP were synthesized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene-terminated PS macromonomers produced via atom transfer radical polymerization. Blend-film samples were then prepared by mixing linear PS and PS-BBP. One of the blend samples with a specific ratio of linear PS to PS-BBP (30:70) demonstrated extremely low orientation birefringence of |Δn| ∼3.9 × 10-4 even under 120% strain. In addition, the blend samples preserved almost the same refractive indices as linear PS, possessing the transparency required for optical polymers across the visible-wavelength range. The obtained PS blend could be utilized as an optical material with excellent optical properties.

  • Multifunctionality of Iodinated Halogen-Bonded Polymer: Biodegradability, Radiopacity, Elasticity, Ductility, and Self-Healing Ability

    Oyama Y., Kurokawa N., Hotta A.

    ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering （ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering)  9 （ 11 ） 6094 - 6102 2023.11

    　View Summary

    A polymer with high contents of ester bonds and iodine atoms was synthesized, exhibiting sufficient biodegradability and radioactivity for biomedical applications. The iodine moieties of the synthesized polyester can generate halogen bonding between molecules, which may develop additional functional properties through the bonding. In this study, poly(glycerol adipate) (PGA) was selected and synthesized as a polyester, which was then adequately conjugated with three different types of iodine compounds via the hydroxy groups of PGA. It was found that the iodine compounds could effectively work as donors of halogen bonding. The thermal analysis by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the glass transition temperature increased with the increase in the strength of interactions caused by π-π stacking and halogen bonding, eventually reaching 49.6 °C for PGA with triiodobenzoic groups. An elastomeric PGA with monoiodobenzoic groups was also obtained, exhibiting a high self-healing ability at room temperature because of the reconstruction of halogen bonding. Such multifaceted performance of the synthesized polyester with controllable thermal/mechanical properties was realized by halogen bonding, leading to a promising biomaterial with multifunctionality.

  • Measurements of the Dissociation Heats of Tetrabutylammonium Acetate and Tetrabutylammonium Hydroxide Ionic Semiclathrate Hydrates

    Iwai T., Takamura S., Hotta A., Ohmura R.

    International Journal of Thermophysics （International Journal of Thermophysics)  44 （ 3 ）  2023.03

    ISSN  0195928X

    　View Summary

    Ionic semiclathrate hydrates mainly consist of water typically together with tetrabutylammonium and tetrabutylphosphonium salts. Since ionic semiclathrate hydrates have the large dissociation heat under ambient pressure and temperature conditions, various ionic semiclathrate hydrates have been studied as safety and eco-friendly phase change materials. In this study, tetrabutylammonium acetate hydrates and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide hydrates were proposed as thermal energy storage media for air conditioning and cooling lithium-ion batteries. The dissociation heat, which was a significant thermophysical property to design thermal energy storage systems, were measured at various mass fractions. The largest dissociation heats of tetrabutylammonium acetate hydrates and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide hydrates were 212.9 ± 0.9 kJ⋅kg−1 and 200.4 ± 2.2 kJ⋅kg−1. As a result of the comparison of the dissociation heats of tetrabutylammonium acetate hydrates and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide hydrates with those of other ionic semiclathrate hydrates, it was found that tetrabutylammonium acetate hydrates and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide hydrates had the promising thermophysical properties as thermal energy storage media for air conditioning and cooling lithium-ion batteries, respectively.

  • Thermophysical Properties of Ionic Semiclathrate Hydrate Formed with Tetrabutylphosphonium Malonate

    Iwai T., Oguro S., Ota I., Hiraga K., Hotta A., Ohmura R.

    International Journal of Thermophysics （International Journal of Thermophysics)  44 （ 2 ）  2023.02

    ISSN  0195928X

    　View Summary

    Ionic semiclathrate hydrate is a crystalline compound mainly composed of water, which can dissociate at ordinary pressure and temperature. Ionic semiclathrate hydrates have been widely studied to develop prospective green and safety phase change materials utilized in a thermal energy storage system to cool batteries, in air conditioning, and in a cold chain system. The thermophysical properties, such as equilibrium temperature and dissociation heat, and the mass fraction dependence of such properties need to be carefully investigated to design such systems. In this study, the equilibrium temperature and the dissociation heat of tetrabutylphosphonium malonate ionic semiclathrate hydrates were experimentally determined at various mass fractions through an established method: the maximum value of the dissociation heat was 179.70 kJ·kg−1 at w = 0.357 and the equilibrium temperature was 8.9 °C at w = 0.357. By comparing tetrabutylphosphonium malonate ionic semiclathrate hydrates with other media in terms of the measured equilibrium temperature and the dissociation heat, the usability of the hydrates as thermal energy storage media for general air conditioning was discussed.

  • Synthesis and thermophysical properties of Tetrabutylammonium picolinate hydrate as an energy storage phase change material for cold chain

    Yamamoto K., Iwai T., Hiraga K., Miyamoto T., Hotta A., Ohmura R.

    Journal of Energy Storage （Journal of Energy Storage)  55 2022.11

    　View Summary

    Ionic semiclathrate hydrates, the water-based phase change materials (PCMs) have potential for thermal energy storage media. There are a number of hydrates, reported in the literature, which are suitable as PCMs for air conditioning system of the required temperature range 10–15 °C. In this study, Tetrabutylammonium picolinate hydrate (TBAPi hydrate) was newly synthesized as a PCM for the cold chain, which has a lower phase equilibrium temperature than the previously reported hydrates. Thermophysical properties of TBAPi hydrate were experimentally measured. The hydrate dissociation heat was determined using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The phase equilibrium temperature was measured by visually observing system with a CMOS camera and microscope. Also, the cycling test was conducted to confirm the long-term stability of thermophysical properties. The largest dissociation heat was 157.7 ± 4.9 kJ・kg−1 at a mass fraction of TBAPi aqueous solution, wTBAPi of 0.37. The highest phase equilibrium temperature of TBAPi hydrate was 5.5 °C at 0.34 ≤ wTBAPi ≤ 0.36. These thermophysical properties did not change even after 200 cycles of hydrate formation and dissociation. Based on the experimental results, TBAPi hydrate can be applied to the transport and storage of vaccines, blood packs, and perishable foods.
