Atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in bulk and in different solvents using activators generated by electron transfer (AGET ATRP) were investigated in the presence of a limited amount of air using FeC13-6H2O as the catalyst, ascorbic acid sodium salt (AsAc-Na) as the reducing agent, and a cheap and commercially available tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) as the ligand. It was found that polymerization in THF resulted in shorter induction period than that in bulk and in toluene for AGET ATRP of St, while referring to AGET ATRP of MMA, polymerization in THF showed three advantages compared with that in bulk and toluene:1) shortening the induction period, 2) enhancing the polymerization rate and 3) having better controllability. The living features of the obtained polymers were verified by chain end analysis and chain-extension experiments.

In this work, a fluorescent monomer 2-(9-carbazolyl) ethyl vinyl ether(CEVE) was synthesized in our lab, and its photo-induced living cationic copolymerization behavior with isobutyl vinyl ether(IBVE) was investigated in detail using diphenyliodonium chloride(DPICl)/2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone(DMPA) and zinc bromide(Zn Br2) initiating system in dichloromethane solution at 5 °C, -5 °C, and -15 °C, respectively. The living nature of this copolymerization system was confirmed by adding fresh comonomer method after the copolymerization almost finished. In addition, the obtained fluorescent copolymer poly(IBVE-co-CEVE) has a low glass transition temperature(Tg), below -10 °C.

Left-handed, coiled, 4,4'-biphenylene bridged polybissilsesquioxane, tubular nanoribbons were prepared according to the published literature. After carbonization and removal of silica using HF aqueous solution, left-handed, coiled, carbonaceous, tubular nanoribbons were obtained. The left- handed, coiled, carbonaceous, tubular nanoribbons were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Raman spectropho- tometer, diffuse reflectance circular dichroism (DRCD), and N2 adsorptions. Micropores were formed due to the removal of silica. The nitrogen BET surface area is 1727 m2/g. A broad, positive DRCD signal, identified at 400-800 rim, indicates the carbonaceous, tubular nanoribbons exhibit optical activity. The helical pitch is proposed to play an important role in the position of the DRCD signal.

Helical 1,2-ethylene-silica nanofibers with lamellar mesopores on the surfaces and twisted rod-like mesopores inside were prepared according to literature procedures. After carbonization, helical carbon/ silica nanofibers with lamellar mesopores on the surfaces and twisted rod-like micropores inside were obtained. The morphologies and pore architectures of the carbon]silica nanofibers were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and N2 sorptions. Although the mesopores inside shrank into micropores, the helical nanostructure remained. Moreover, several carbon/silica nanofibers with lamellar mesopores on the surfaces and concentric circular micropores inside were also obtained. After being calcined in air, helical silica nanofibers with lamellar mesopores on the surfaces and twisted rod-like micropores inside were produced as well.
