  • Patent number: 11905370
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a synthesis method of long carbon chain semi-aromatic nylon. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: mixing a wet powdery nylon salt, an antioxidant, a catalyst, a surfactant and pellets, and carrying out a one-step solid state polymerization under dynamic mixing to obtain a powdery nylon; under dynamic mixing, enabling the pellets to promote the stirring and mixing of the material and reducing material adhesion to the wall; the one-step solid state polymerization comprises a pre-solid state polymerization and a post-solid state polymerization; in the pre-solid state polymerization, ensuring the nylon salt and the prepolymer not to be molten; in the post-solid state polymerization, gradually reducing the system pressure to vacuum, and keeping the system pressure in vacuum state for at least 1 hour; the temperature of the post-solid state polymerization is not lower than the termination temperature of the pre-solid state polymerization.

  • Patent number: 8993665
    Abstract: The present invention relates to polymers, nanomaterials, and methods of making the same. Various embodiments provide an amphiphilic multi-arm copolymer. The copolymer includes a core unit and a plurality of amphiphilic block copolymer arms. Each block copolymer arm is substituted on the core unit. Each block copolymer arm includes at least one hydrophilic homopolymer subunit and at least one hydrophobic homopolymer subunit. In some examples, the copolymer can include a star-like or bottlebrush-like block copolymer, and can include a Janus copolymer. Various embodiments provide a nanomaterial. In some examples, the nanomaterial can include Janus nanomaterials, and can include nanoparticles, nanorods, or nanotubes. The nanomaterial includes the amphiphilic multi-arm copolymer and at least one inorganic precursor. The inorganic precursor can be coordinated to at least one homopolymer subunit of one of the amphiphilic block copolymer arms to form the nanomaterial.
