In this work, a series of liquid crystal molecules containing cyano-phenyl-ester was designed and synthesised. Subsequently, a novel cyano-phenyl-ester liquid crystals (CPE-LCs) with a wide temperature range from −30°C to 96.4°C were developed by mixturing these liquid crystal compositions. Then as the host materials, the CPE-LCs were used for preparing polymer-dispersed and polymer-stabilised cholesteric liquid crystals (PD&SCLC) composite films by a stepwise polymerisation. The morphologies and electro-optical properties of the as-made composite films were systematically investigated through varying the acrylate liquid crystalline polymerisable monomers content, chiral doping R1011 content, applied electric field intensity and polymerisation time. Indeed, the formation of homeotropically aligned anisotropic polymer networks (HAAPNs) enabled to reduce the driving voltage of PD&SCLC from 86.6 V to 22.2 V with a reasonable contrast ratio. This work provides a new method to optimise PD&SCLC composite films in terms of the host liquid crystals.

Organic fluorescent materials are widely applied in different important fields, such as light-emitting display, explosive detection, molecular imprinting, and so on, because of their low cost, easy functionalization, and large-scale fabrication. In this work, we designed and synthesized a new kind of organic fluorescent polysulfate composite material through post-sulfonation sulfur-fluorine exchange polymerization (a new kind of click chemistry) by symmetric molecular. Sulfur-fluorine exchange polymerization: symmetrical structure SO2F−R1−SO2F molecular reacted with symmetrical OH−R2−OH molecular through nucleophilic reaction in the presence of inorganic base. The polysulfate material was further modified by ClSO3H to get PSE−SO3H materials. Tb3+was highly dispersed on PSE−SO3H to afford organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent materials through the conventional coordination chemistry method. The emission wavelength of the organic-inorganic hybrid fluorescent polymer PSE−SO3H−Tb3+was between 475 and 685 nm, the quantum yield reached 1.18%, and fluorescence lifetime lasted for 730.168 us, with the pure green light emission and long light-emitting lifetime. The fluorescence film was prepared through phase transformation method by the fluorescent polymer material PSE−SO3H−Tb3+. The film has the strong stability property in different pH conditions (pH 1~13). Thus, this kind of organic fluorescent polysulfate composite material may have certain prospects application in terms of detection and luminescence in extreme chemical environments in the future.Keywords:polysulfate material;rare earth matal;Tb3+;fluorescence;polymer;symmetric molecular;stepwise polymerization

Fluorinated polyurethaneimide (PUI) electro-optic waveguide polymer with polyurethane and polyimide chain segment structures was synthesized by stepwise polymerization using the synthesized amino ester oligomer pu and imide oligomer pi as monomers. Since the main chain structure of the synthesized PUI had the functionality of both polyurethane and polyimide chain segment structures, it combines the excellent thermal and film-forming properties of polyurethanes and polyimides, as well as lower optical transmission loss in the near-infrared wavelength band. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of PUI was 182 °C, and the 5% heat loss decomposition temperature was 325 °C. The PUI had good optical properties with an optical propagation loss of 1.10 dB/cm and an electro-optic (EO) coefficient (γ33) of 86 pm/V at a wavelength of 1550 nm. A Mach-Zehnder interferometric polymer waveguide EO modulator had been designed and fabricated by using the PUI as a waveguide electro-optic core layer. The prepared polymer waveguide EO modulator showed a good electro-optic modulation response at a wavelength of 1550 nm under an applied 1 kHz sinusoidal modulation signal. The results showed that the synthesized PUI met the performance requirements for the preparation of polymer optical waveguide devices and was a polymer electro-optic waveguide material with good overall performance.

Hyperbranched star copolymers are important soft materials that have been employed for aqueous self-assembly and bioapplication, but their one-pot one-batch synthesis strategy and relevant topology are rarely discussed. In this contribution, we produce hyperbranched star poly(vinyl ether ester)s (mPEG- hb -PVEEs) amphiphiles with multimodal molecular weight distribution via one-pot one-batch Am+Bn+C1 (m ≥ 2, n ≥ 3) step-growth polymerization. Based on the topological analysis of these hyperbranched star copolymers, a convenient expression of the number ratio of monomeric structural units (N A /N B ) is deduced to describe the cyclic defect of intramolecular cyclization only by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The introduction of long-chain terminators and the change in the molar feed ratio of A 2 :B 3 :C 1 considerably affect the N A /N B so as to give rise to increased influence of number of macromolecules and decreased influence of intramolecular cyclization, which are then responsible for an aqueous self-assembly behavior of mPEG- hb -PVEEs amphiphiles. Overall, this study opens new possibilities for the precise description of intramolecular cyclization and controllable synthesis of hyperbranched star copolymers via one-pot Am+Bn+C1 step-growth polymerization.
