Elucidating the Molecular Design Principles of N-Alkylated Nylons for LCST-Type Phase Separation through a Systematic Polymer Library

Key Points

• The research aims to explore the molecular design principles of N-alkylated nylons for LCST-type phase separation.
• Expanded a library of N-alkylated nylons by adjusting the main-chain carbon numbers (p and q)
• Analyzed phase separation behaviors in relation to molecular structure
• Identified key structural modifications that influence LCST-type phase separation
• Demonstrated enhanced phase separation capabilities in newly synthesized nylons
