Compatibilization of Immiscible Polymer Networks Through Photopolymerization in a Lyotropic Liquid Crystal
Source abstract
Abstract
The self-assembled, nanoscale domains of a lyotropic liquid crystal are used as a compatibilizing platform for the simultaneous polymerization of immiscible hydrophilic and hydrophobic crosslinking monomers (see figure). The influence of the liquid crystal reduces phase separation, resulting in a material with properties similar to those of a highly compatible polymer blend. The direct dependence of material properties on the composition of the crosslinking blend indicates the formation of a type of interpenetrating network.

24. The hydrophobic nature of HDDA directs the segregation of this monomer to the discontinuous regions of the hexagonal formation and thus in systems in which HDDA is the only reactive material there is little structural material holding the network together upon polymerization and removal of the surfactant.
