摘要

In nature, self-assembly with well defined shapes obtained from combinations of polymeric building blocks with complex architecture are abundant since they are responsible for the production of structural materials and for the generation of some of the most efficient mechanisms. One of the many roles liquid crystallinity plays in natural systems is in their self-assembly and organization. The assembly of these complex natural systems is largely under thermodynamic control which is manipulated by their liquid crystallinity. The goal of this thesis is to use Nature as a model for the development of new synthetic concepts and strategies in the field of polymer science. The two models selected are rod-like and icosahedral viruses. The strategy involved in this thesis requires the design of libraries of monodendritic building blocks with well defined flat tapered and conical shapes which self-assemble into cylindrical and respectively spherical shapes. By analogy with viruses these supermolecules will generated hexagonal columnar and spherical cubic thermotropic phases. These liquid crystalline phases allow the determination of their shape by X-ray diffraction and Scanning Force Microscopy. Libraries of flat tapered and conical monodendritic building blocks will be functionalized with polymerizable groups and polymerized to generate the first examples of polymers of cylindrical and spherical shapes with diameter and length, and diameter controlled at the nanoscale level. The organization of these dendritic monomers in a liquid crystalline assembly is also used to aggregate their polymerizable groups in a reactor of artificially enhanced concentration and restricted geometry during the polymerization process and therefore, generate a new approach to the control of polymerization. The resulting liquid crystallinity provides access to the thermodynamically controlled assembly and characterization of these newly developed polymers. With few exceptions, there is no precedent for polymers with controlled cylindrical and spherical shapes which assemble into thermotropic liquid crystalline phase. The molecular design, synthesis, characterization and polymerization of these bulky monomers and polymers requires a combination of supramolecular chemistry, liquid crystallinity and polymer science. This thesis will provide an entry into the design of visualizable polymeric materials with dramatically different properties which are determined by their shape. Cylindrical and spherical polymers obtained from flexible backbones jacketed with dendritic coats will access a mechanism to control the conformation and rigidity of their flexible chains. The rigidity of cylindrical polymers can be manipulated via their diameter, internal structure and conformational restrictions. Mechanisms to change in a reversible and controlled way to change the shape of the polymer from rod-like to spherical is elaborated and this work can open a new technological concepts in areas such as fibers, films, membranes, electronic, photonic and controlled release systems.
