- This phenomenon is very important since it allows separation of the nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals from the alkylmaleimide copolymer nano-micelles and the solvent by using simple centrifuge or filtration. The polymer and the solvent can then be recycled or reused again. After separation the aggregated nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals can be re-dispersed into dodecane solvent via addition of the copolymer.

More particularly, by maintaining suitable conditions, the nanoparticles will begin to form in the shape of micelles wherein the polar constituents of the copolymer chains, e.g., maleimide, preferentially form the center of the micelle and the non-polar constituents of the copolymer chains, e.g., the alkyl side chains radiate, outwardly therefrom. Exemplary temperatures for the polymers discussed herein are in the range of about −40 to 250° C., with a temperature in the range of about 0 to 150° C. being particularly preferred. As demonstrated in more detail below, the interaction of copolymer selection, temperature, and solvent facilitates the formation of the micelles and ultimately the desired nanoparticles.
- Metal Nanocomposite Formation
- Nano-sized micelle particles produced in accordance with the present invention may be advantageously utilized as templates in the formation of nano-sized metal nanocomposites and metal/inorganic crystals. The formation of metal nanocomposites is preferably carried out by exposing the nanoparticles to metal ions, preferably metal ions in solution. The metal ion is then complexed with imine groups located inside the nanoparticle. Nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals are formed by introducing a suitable agent, e.g. H2S, CO3 2− and etc., which may react with the metal ions to form crystals within the micelle particles. Advantageously, the condensed nature of the nanoparticles may restrict the growth of the metal nanocomposites, thus providing size control of the metal nanocomposites into nano-scales.
- Metals contemplated for use in the present invention include those known in the art as useful in semiconductors, catalysts, magnetic and quantum dots etc., including but not limited to Cu, Ti, Fe, Cd, Ni, Pd, and mixtures thereof. The formation of the metal nanocomposites is preferably carried out at a temperature of between about 0 and 100° C., more preferably between about 0 and 50° C. Preferred solvents useful in the formation include toluene, tetrahydrofuran (“THF”), water, alcohol, and mixtures thereof.
- Separation of the metal nano-composites from the nanocomposites is achieved by performing a solvent change. For example, a solvent in which the polymer chains within the nanoparticles are soluble may be utilized. Such a solvent would induce swelling, and possibly dissolving, of the nanoparticles, thus allowing separation of the nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals from the nanoparticles. Preferred solvents for the separation step include THF, HCCl3, CCl4, toluene, and mixtures thereof.
- Nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals produced in accordance with the present invention preferably have a mean average diameter less than about 50 nm, more preferably less than about 20 nm, and most preferably less than about 10 nm.
- Of course, the present inventive nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals are suited to applications including the medical field, e.g. drug delivery and blood applications, information technology, e.g. quantum computers and dots, aeronautical and space research, energy, e.g., oil refining and lubricants, and tire applications such as snow/wet traction improvements.
- The following examples are provided to help illustrate the present invention. The examples are not provided to limit the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims.
- A N2 purged Brabender mixer (˜310 g capacity) equipped with Banbury blades was set to 10 rpm and 30° C. The mixer was then charged with 120 g of poly(maleimide-alt-isobutylene) (Kuraray, commercial name IM-10, Mn=350 K) and 99.4 g of octyl amine (Aldrich, 99% purity). The mixture was agitated in the mixer for 10 minutes and then heated up at a rate about 10° C./min to 210° C. Once the temperature reached 125° C., agitation was stopped. After reaching a temperature of 210° C., the heating element was set to the isothermal condition. The agitation was then started and increased from 0 to 90 rpm at a rate of 10 rpm/min. Once the agitation speed reached 90 rpm, the temperature was set to 190° C. The mixing was continued isothermally for an additional 90 minutes, the heating element was then turned off and the polymer was allowed to cool down at a rate ˜4° C./min. The final product was removed from the mixer at 160° C.
- The experiment and the procedure of example 1 were repeated, except for a minor change of the chemicals used. The mixer was charged with 100 g of poly(maleimide-alt-isobutylene) (Kuraray, commercial name IM-10, Mn=350 K) and 118.8 g of dodecyl amine (Aldrich, 95% purity).
- A nitrogen purged Brabender mixer (˜310 g capacity) equipped with Banbury blades was set to 20 rpm and 60° C. The mixer was charged with 85 g of poly(maleimide-alt-isobutylene) (Kuraray, commercial name IM-10, Mn=350 K) and 146.8 g of octadecyl amine (Aldrich, 99% purity). The mixture was agitated in the mixer for 10 minutes and then heated up at a rate about 10° C./min to 200° C. Once the temperature reached 135° C., agitation was stopped. When the temperature reached 200° C., the heating element was set to the isothermal condition. The agitation was then started and increased from 0 to 120 rpm at a rate of 10 rpm/min. The mixing was continued isothermally for additional 160 minutes, the heating element was then turned off and the polymer was allowed to cool down at a rate ˜4° C./min. The final product was removed from the mixer at 160° C.
- IR characteristic absorption peaks are 1701, 1770, 2855, 2926 cm−1. No trace of maleic anhydride absorption peaks (i.e., at 1779 and 1855 cm−1) and amino-group peaks (i.e., at 3330) were detected for these copolymers. The molecular weights of these products were measured by GPC in THF solution, using polystyrene as the standard. The results are listed below:
Ex. 1 Ex. 2 Ex. 3 Molecular weight, Mn 116k 98k 121 Polydispersity Mw/Mn 1.76 2.16 2.07 Intrinsic Viscosity in THF, 0.75 0.72 0.75 20° C.
Use of Alkylmaleimide Copolymers for Nano-Tech - Two 40 mL bottles were charged with materials as described below. The bottles were named as bottles A and B, respectively. The material inside those bottles was named accordingly as material A and B.
- A) 0.2009 g of the products from example 3 were added into 10.056 g dodecane solvent. After being stirred overnight, the alkylmaleimide copolymer was dissolved. The solution was highly translucent and colorless. The solution was then further diluted with addition additional 10.2 g of dodecane. The concentration of the solution was about 1%.
- B) 0.5 g of CuAc2 was added into a 15 g of THF. After vigorous stirring for half hour, the CuAc2 was dissolved. The solution was highly translucent to light and was dark blue in color.
- The material in bottle A was then charged with 1.0 mL of solution from bottle B. The resulting solution was light blue. Half of the solution was placed in a vacuum oven at 100° C. Further drying of the product under vacuum yielded a polymer-Cu complex film. The film was dark blue, but transparent to light, indicating that the size of Cu++ clusters in the film was in the nano-meter range.
- H2S gas was bubbled through the remaining solution in bottle A to fully convert the Cu++ ions to CuS. The solution was then purged with N2 to remove the excess of H2S. The resulting solution is dark colored, with no macroscopic precipitation of CuS from solution. This indicated that the CuS formed are nano-sized and remain within the nanoparticle. (If taking a pure dodecane solvent and then charging with the same amount of Cu++/THF solution, one would find that there was a macroscopic precipitation of CuS from the solution once bubbling H2S through the solution.) Finally, the CuS/polymer solution was placed in a vacuum oven at 100° C. Further drying of the product under vacuum yielded a polymer/nano-sized CuS composite. The material was black, but highly translucent to light.
- About 1 mL of the CuS/polymer solution, prepared according to example 5, was further diluted to 50 times with hexane solvent. A drop of the diluted solution was then coated on a graphed copper micro-grid. After the solvent was evaporated, the screen was examined by TEM (
FIG. 1 ). The result demonstrates that the sizes of the particles are of nano-scales (the scale is 60 nm). The size of the CuS particles was about 5 to 10 nm in diameter. - About 1 mL of the CuS/polymer solution, prepared according to example 5, was further diluted to 50 times with THF solvent. THF is known as a good solvent for alkylmaleimide copolymers. Once THF was added, the CuS nano-crystals aggregated and precipitated. After filtrated, a small amount of the CuS was re-dispersed into THF by ultrasound. A drop of the diluted solution was then coated on a graphed copper micro-grid. After the solvent was evaporated, the screen was examined by TEM (
FIG. 2 ). The result demonstrates that using THF solvent in fact dissolves the polymer molecules surround the particle, and the resulting particles aggregate to sub-micrometers (the scale is 100 nm). This phenomenon is very important since it allows separation of the nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals from the alkylmaleimide copolymer nano-micelles and the solvent by using simple centrifuge or filtration. The polymer and the solvent can then be recycled or reused again. After separation the aggregated nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals can be re-dispersed into dodecane solvent via addition of the copolymer. - The invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments. Modifications and alterations will occur to others upon reading and understanding the specification. The invention is intended to include such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the disclosure and claims.
