Secondary Structures of Polypeptide-Based Diblock Copolymers Influence the Microphase Separation of Templates for the Fabrication of Microporous Carbons

Ahmed F. M. EL-Mahdy et al.

Summary: The study synthesized PEO-b-PBLG rod-coil diblock copolymers with α-helical and hexagonally packed cylinder secondary structures, and the blending with resol-type phenolic resin affected the structure of the PEO segment but not the PBLG segment. Microporous carbons prepared from the blends exhibited excellent supercapacitor performance due to the influence of PBLG segment secondary structure rather than block phase separation.

Sub-Rouse Dynamics in Poly(isobutylene) as a Function of Molar Mass

Marianna Spyridakou et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of molar mass on the segmental, sub-Rouse, and terminal relaxation processes of poly(isobutylene). It was found that the terminal times scaled with molar mass as tau(term) similar to M-3.2, while the sub-Rouse dielectric process showed a weak molar mass dependence (tau(sub - Rouse)/tau(SM) similar to M-0.1). The sub-Rouse mode was inferred to have a lengthscale intermediate to the statistical segment length and the length of an entanglement strand.

Ordering, phase behavior, and correlations of semiflexible polymers in confinement

Arash Nikoubashman

Summary: Semiflexible polymers have various important roles in biological systems and materials due to their hierarchical length-scale properties. Controlling confinement can promote order but may also lead to long-ranged disruptions.

Protein-Mimetic Self-Assembly with Synthetic Macromolecules

Meredith H. Barbee et al.

Summary: Protein-mimetic amphiphiles show promise as a platform to access the functions of natural biological materials while incorporating the tunability and environmental resilience of synthetic materials. By controlling assembled morphologies and dynamics, synthetic macromolecules mimicking proteins can be developed for applications in sensors, catalysts, and therapeutics. Insights from diverse fields are being combined to inspire new approaches for the development of protein-mimetic materials.

Regulating the Translocation of DNA through Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-Decorated Switchable Nanopores by Cononsolvency Effect

Huaisong Yong et al.

Summary: The study found that the cononsolvency effect of polymers can be used as a novel trigger to change the size of nanopores, similar to the opening and closure of cell membrane channels. This discovery opens up new possibilities for the design of switchable nanogates and nanopores.
