The synthesis was carried out in 1,4-dioxane as process solvent. In order to get conclusions on the mechanism of the polymerization the molecular structure of formed copolymers was analysed by means of different analytical techniques. C-13 NMR spectroscopy was used for the determination of the monomer ratios. End groups were analysed by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. This technique was also used to determine possible fragmentations of the RAFT end groups. By means of a combination of size exclusion chromatography, C-13 NMR and static light scattering molar mass distributions and absolute molar masses could be analysed. The results clearly show a non-ideal RAFT mechanism.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Laemmermann2010, author = {L{\"a}mmermann, Anica}, title = {Anwendung von Substituenteneffekten zur Strukturaufkl{\"a}rung mittels NMR-Spektroskopie und Moleculare Modelling}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {114, XIII S.}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @article{KihampaNkunyaJosephetal.2010, author = {Kihampa, Charles and Nkunya, Mayunga H.

The through-space shieldings were visualized as a contour plot of iso-chemical shielding surfaces, and were applied to quantify the overall anisotropic effect of the carbonyl groups, as well as to identify the influence of the transition metal on the scopes of the corresponding anisotropy cones. The shielding surfaces show that the anisotropic effect of the carbonyl groups at equatorial positions changes depending on the metal. This effect was associated with pi-backdonation from the metal to the carbonyl groups in that position, in agreement with geometric data as well as calculated NMR parameters. Therefore, visualization of the through-space NMR shieldings of trinuclear metal-carbonyl compounds of group 8 is able to reflect the distinct arrangements of the carbonyl groups in these organometallic compounds.}, language = {en} } @article{TronciNeffePierceetal.2010, author = {Tronci, Giuseppe and Neffe, Axel T. and Pierce, Benjamin Franklin and Lendlein, Andreas}, title = {An entropy-elastic gelatin-based hydrogel system}, issn = {0959-9428}, doi = {10.1039/C0jm00883d}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Gelatin is a non-immunogenic and degradable biopolymer, which is widely applied in the biomedical field e. g. for drug capsules or as absorbable hemostats. However, gelatin materials present limited and hardly reproducible mechanical properties especially in aqueous systems, particularly caused by the uncontrollable partial renaturation of collagen-like triple helices. Therefore, mechanically demanding applications for gelatin-based materials, such as vascular patches, i.e. hydrogel films that seal large incisions in vessel walls, and for induced autoregeneration, are basically excluded if this challenge is not addressed. Through the synthesis of a defined chemical network of gelatin with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) in DMSO, the self-organization of gelatin chains could be hindered and amorphous gelatin films were successfully prepared having Young's moduli of 60-530 kPa. Transferring the crosslinking reaction with HDI and, alternatively, ethyl lysine diisocyanate (LDI), to water as reaction medium allowed the tailoring of swelling behaviour and mechanical properties by variation of crosslinker content while suppressing the formation of helices. The hydrogels had Young's moduli of 70-740 kPa, compressive moduli of 16-48 kPa, and degrees of swelling of 300-800 vol\%. Test reactions investigated by ESI mass spectrometry allowed the identification and quantification of reaction products of the crosslinking reaction. The HDI crosslinked networks were stabilized by direct covalent crosslinks (ca. 10 mol\%), supported by grafting (50 mol\%) and blending of hydrophobic oligomeric chains. For the LDI- based networks, less crosslinked (3 mol\%) and grafted species (5 mol\%) and much higher amounts of oligomers were observed. The adjustable hydrogel system enables the application of gelatin-based materials in physiological environments.}, language = {en} } @article{ZehmLaschewskyGradzielskietal.2010, author = {Zehm, Daniel and Laschewsky, Andr{\´e} and Gradzielski, Michael and Pr{\´e}vost, Sylvain and Liang, Hua and Rabe, J{\"u}rgen P. and Schweins, Ralf and Gummel, J{\´e}r{\´e}mie}, title = {Amphiphilic dual brush block copolymers as "giant surfactants" and their aqueous self-assembly}, issn = {0743-7463}, doi = {10.1021/La903087p}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Amphiphilic dual brush diblock as well as symmetrical triblock polymers were synthesized by the overlay of the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer and the nitroxide mediated polymerization (NMP) techniques.

The resulting "giant surfactants" correspond structurally to the established amphiphilic diblock and triblock copolymer known as macrosurfactants. The aggregation behavior of the novel "giant surfactants" in aqueous solution was studied by dynamic light scattering, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) over a large range in reciprocal space. Further, the self-assembled aggregates Were investigated by scanning force microscopy (SFM) after deposition on differently functionalized ultraflat solid substrates. Despite the high fraction of hydrophobic segments, the polymers form stable mesoscopic, spherical aggregates with hydrodynamic diameters in the range of 150-350 nm. Though prepared from well-defined individual polymers, the aggregates show several similarities to hard core latexes. They are stable enough to he deposited without much changes onto surfaces, where they cluster and show Spontaneous sorting according to their size within the clusters, with the larger aggregates being in the center.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Zehm2010, author = {Zehm, Daniel}, title = {Amphiphile Block-B{\"u}rstenpolymere : ihre Synthese durch sequentielle Anwendung von CRP-Methoden und ihre Selbstorganisation in ausgew{\"a}hlten L{\"o}sungsmitteln}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {XI, 166 S. : graph.
