Synthesis of non-amphiphilic block copolymer with S-trityl-cysteine and pyrene units by ATRP polymerization: characterization and fluorescence study
2017
A new diblock copolymer, 1-methylpyrene isobutyrate–poly(methyl methacrylate–block-N-acryloyl-S-trityl-cysteine)-Br (Py–PMMA–b-ATCys-Br), was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N-acryloyl-S-trityl-L-cysteine monomer (ATCys) with 1-methylpyrene isobutyrate–poly(methyl methacrylate)–Br as a macroinitiator. The diblock copolymer and its precursor were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and glass transition temperatures (Tg) measurements. Fluorescence properties of the diblock copolymer were investigated using various quenching (Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+) in dimethylformamide solutions, the more efficient quenchers being the Cu2+, Hg2+, Fe2+, and Fe3+ ions. In addition, the effect of in situ photogenerated silver nanoparticles on the copolymer fluorescence was also investigated.
