Effect of Branching Architecture on Glass Transition Behavior of Hyperbranched Copolystyrenes: the Experiment and Simulation Studies
By controlling the feed ratio of CMS/styrene and the polymerization time
a series of hyperbranched copolystyrenes (HBCPS) were synthesized with comparable weight-averaged molecular weights (
M
w
) but different degree of branching (DB) through atom transfer radical self-condensing vinyl copolymerization (ATR-SCVCP) with CuBr/2
2¢- bipyridyl as the catalyst. The resulting HBCPS samples were used to investigate the effect of branching architecture on their glass transition behavior. With the DB increased
the glass transition temperatures (
T
g
) of HBCPS samples measured by DMA and DSC both decreased. Their spin-lattice relaxation times (
1
H
T
1r
) of protons displayed the same downtrend with increasing DB. Besides
a correlation between the
T
g
s and the DB was well established by all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The values of MD-determined
T
g
s are little higher than the corresponding experimental ones. However
the dependence of
T
g
s on DB is in good agreement with the experimental results
i.e
.
T
g
decreases both in experiments and simulations with increasing DB.
