Abstract:

This thesis considers two areas of research in non-equilibrium soft matter at the mesoscale. In the first part we introduce active colloids in the context of active matter and focus on the particular case of phoretic colloids. The general theory of phoresis is presented along with an expression for the phoretic velocity of a colloid and its rotational diffusion in two and three dimensions. We introduce a model for thermally active colloids that absorb light and emit heat and propel through thermophoresis. Using this model we develop the equations of motion for their collective dynamics and con

Abstract:

The dynamics of a dilute suspension of colloids diffusing in a simple liquid are well understood and are characterised by the Stokes-Einstein equation. However the validity of this equation for describing the diffusion of a colloid through a polymer solution has been questioned. In this work the motion of dilute poly-methylmethacrylate spheres diffusing through a solution of flexible polystyrene polymers has been studied. Dynamic light scattering was used to measure the self-diffusion of the spheres and the diffusion coefficient for this motion was found to exhibit time dependence. At short ti

Abstract:

This dissertation studies physical properties and technological applications of engineered heterogenous polymer gels. Such gels are synthesized based on modulation of gel chemical nature in space. The shape memory gels have been developed in this study by using the modulated gel technology. At room temperature, they form a straight line. As the temperature is increased, they spontaneously bend or curl into a predetermined shape such as a letter of the alphabet, a numerical number, a spiral, a square, or a fish. The shape changes are reversible. The heterogenous structures have been also obtain

Three approaches were used for the preparation of polymer colloids, including block copolymer micellization, miniemulsion and dispersion polymerisation. Polymers, ego PDMAEMA, PDMAEMA-b-PBMA, P(PDMA-PS)4, P(PS-PDMA)4, involved in the preparation were synthesized using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation. The details of each approach are given below. In the first approach, well-defined amphiphilic star block copolymers, P-(PS- PDMA)4 and P-(PDMA-PS)4 (P: porphyrin) were prepared from a free base porphyrin-cored chain transfer agent (CTA-FBP) and used for self-

The precise location of the crosslinks on the wall or on another macromolecule is not known prior to linking, and will differ from sample to sample. However, once the crosslinks are formed, they are assumed to be permanent. This random linking is the sourc

All emulsion ASRs were made to 20% solids, with volume-average particle diameters (dv) in the region 30 – 50 nm, with a glass transition temperature of 80 – 120 °C.

Abstract:

Polymer gels undergo a volume phase transition in solvent in response to an infinitesimal environmental change. This remarkable phenomenon has resulted in many potential applications of polymer gels. The understanding of its mechanical properties has both scientific and technological importance. For this purpose, we have developed a novel method for measuring Poisson's ratio, which is one of the most important parameters determining the mechanical property of gels. Using this method, Poisson's ratio in N-isopropyacrylamide (NIPA) and polyacrylamide (PAAM) gels has been studied.

However, existing researches have neglected the importance of the dispersion stage. The present study aims to develop better understanding of the dispersion stage during the production of aqueous PU colloids. Non chain-extendable PU pre-polymer (PUp) is used to enable independent

It is found that the IPN microgel dispersion can undergo a sol-gel transition at temperature above 33°C.
