摘要

In this work, swelling-induced structural evolution of the two sub-networks mutually affected each other through regulating the pH of the swelling solvent, even when the inter-component hydrogen bonds were absent, proving the presence of topological interlocking.

Abstract

Recently, we reported a series of reversibly interlocked polymer networks (RILNs), whose mechanical robustness and functionalities improvement was believed to be derived from topological interlocking of two sub-networks, although the direct evidence for the deduction is still lacking. Herein, a specially-designed RILNs system, in which the inter-component hydrogen bonds can be shielded as needed, was prepared and used to study the micro-structures of RILNs, aiming to verify the existence of mechanical interlocking in RILNs. By changing the pH of the swelling solvent, the effect exerted by the inter-component non-covalent bonds was eliminated, so detailed information of the networks structure was exposed. The small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) results indicated that swelling-induced structural evolution of the two sub-networks mutually affected each other, even when the inter-component hydrogen bonds were absent, proving the presence of topological interlocking. The findings may help to draw a more accurate physical image and reveal the detailed structure-property relationship of RILNs.
