L’utilisation de séquences RMN de diffusion permet d’étudier les échanges dynamiques du PEO en tant que petite molécule qui diffuse à travers les parois de nanocapsules creuses de PMMA afin de maîtriser son relargage en fonction du milieu. Ces objets nanostructurés étant élaborés via la formation de stéréocomplexe entre les PMMA isotactique et syndiotactique dans l’acétonitrile, une étude préliminaire a été consacrée à l’influence d’interactions PMMA/PEO sur la morphologie des nanocapsules creuses.Dans un premier temps, nous avons étudié les interactions stéréospécifiques au sein des systèmes binaires PMMA stéréorégulier/PEO dans le chloroforme, solvant non complexant, puis dans l’acétonitrile. L’utilisation de la méthode RMN DOSY nous a donc permis de mettre en évidence la formation d’une double distribution de nanoagrégats de tailles et de composition contrôlés. Le PEO étant présent dans une des populations de nanoagrégats, sa présence induit et stabilise les agrégats de PMMA. Les interactions PMMA/PEO dépendantes de la tacticité du PMMA sont responsables de ces nanostructures. Elles sont non seulement contrôlées par la tacticité du PMMA mais également par la concentration et la masse molaire du PEO. Dans le chloroforme, un modèle d’interaction en trois étapes en fonction de la concentration en PEO, en a été déduit soulignant l’effet prépondérant de la conformation des polymères sur ces interactions. De plus, une généralisation dans plusieurs solvants de ce modèle d’interactions stéréospécifiques a permis de mettre en évidence la corrélation entre la longueur des séquences isotactiques ou syndiotactiques, leurs conformations et la masse molaire du PEO. Dans un second temps, nous avons pu en déduire une corrélation avec la diminution du phénomène de stéréocomplexation dans les systèmes stéréocomplexe du PMMA/PEO/CD3CN sur la base des interactions observées entre les deux polymères en solution dans l’acétonitrile. Le PEO perturbe en partie la formation du stéréocomplexe, permettant ainsi de mettre en évidence l’influence de la présence de PEO sur la structure des nanocapsules creuses de PMMA et son effet désintégrant.Ces études ont montré que les mécanismes de diffusion à travers les parois utilisés dans les systèmes à relargage contrôlé ne peuvent faire l’impasse sur l’analyse préalable des interactions potentielles entre les molécules sondes et la structure des parois polymériques. En effet, ces interactions peuvent fortement modifiés la structure de ces containers et les mécanismes de diffusion doivent prendre quantitativement en compte ces effets pour être efficients.Ces travaux laissent entrevoir la démarche scientifique à suivre pour le développement de modèle de libération contrôlée de molécules actives à travers les membranes des nanocapsules, elles-mêmes incluses dans des systèmes polymériques. / Use of NMR pulse sequences to measure diffusion permits to study the dynamic exchange of PEO as a small molecule that diffuses through hollow PMMA nanocapsules walls in order to control its release according to the environment. These nanostructured objects being composed of stereocomplex between isotactic and syndiotactic PMMA in acetonitrile, a preliminary study was devoted to the influence of PMMA/PEO interactions on the morphology of hollow nanocapsules.Firstly, we studied stereospecific interactions in binary systems stereoregular PMMA/PEO in chloroform, non-complexing solvent, and acetonitrile. The use of the DOSY NMR method allowed us to demonstrate the formation of a double distribution of nanoaggregates of controlled size and composition. PEO is present in a population of nanoaggregates inducing and stabilizing the PMMA aggregates. PMMA/PEO interactions dependent of tacticity PMMA are responsible for these nanostructures. They are not only controlled by PMMA tacticity but also by concentration and molecular weight of PEO. In chloroform, an interaction model in three stages depending on PEO concentration has been deducted highlighting predominant effect of polymer conformation on these interactions. In addition, a generalization of this stereospecific interactions model in several solvents has highlighted the correlation between the length of isotactic or syndiotactic sequences, their conformations and PEO molecular weight. In a second step, we were able to deduce a correlation with the decrease of stereocomplexation phenomenon in the systems PMMA stereocomplex/PEO/CD3CN based on interactions observed between the two polymers in solution in acetonitrile. PEO partly disrupts stereocomplex formation, thus highlighting the influence of PEO presence on hollow PMMA nanocapsules structure and its disintegrating effect. These studies have shown that diffusion mechanisms through the walls used in controlled release systems cannot ignore preliminary analysis of potential interactions between probe molecules and polymer walls structure. Indeed, these interactions can significantly change the structure of these containers and delivery mechanisms must take these effects into account quantitatively to be efficient.These studies suggest scientific approach to follow the development of controlled release model of active molecules through nanocapsules membranes, which are included in polymeric systems.

In this work the relationship between physical properties, such as physical aging and relaxation time distributions, and chemical structure for a variety of polymeric systems were investigated. Although there is a vast amount of physical aging data for polymers, most of these studies do not attempt to correlate structure with physical aging. Therefore, a set of engineering thermoplastics was examined with the goal of relating certain of their characteristic molecular dimensions to their mechanical and volumetric physical aging attributes.Another series of polymeric materials, based on a poly(ether sulfone) backbone, and having various endgroups differing in size, was also studied to determine physical aging rates and relaxation time distributions. Furthermore, it was concluded that the density of the poly(ether sulfones) increased while the glass transition temperature decreased as the endgroup became smaller.Thermoplastic toughened epoxies were also examined to clarify the importance of covalent bonds between toughener and epoxy on physical aging, relaxation time distributions and fracture toughness. In these studies the covalently bonded tougheners differed from their non-reactive counterparts in the rates of volumetric physical aging at high temperatures for the difunctional epoxy. The solvent resistance of the reactive thermoplastic toughened tetrafunctional epoxy was higher than the non-reactive thermoplastic toughened system. The tetrafunctional epoxies with the reactive toughener also had higher toughener glass transition temperatures. / Ph. D.

The determination of accurate volatile organic compound (VOC) and greenhouse gas (GHG) partitioning coefficients for air-water interfaces is essential for pollution and global climate modeling. In the atmosphere, oceans, and groundwater the concentration of dissolved salts is high enough to significantly alter the air-water partitioning behavior of the VOC or GHG, prohibiting the use of literature data or predictive models that omit the salt effect. Despite the great need for air-water partitioning data of the VOCs and GHGs threatening the environment, there is a lack of air-water partitioning data in the presence of dissolved salt. Furthermore, there are large disagreements between reported data from different research groups, which hamper model development. Henry s constants of several VOCs with salts were measured with a new high-throughput headspace gas chromatography (HTHSGC) method to create a library of internally consistent air-water partition coefficients for modeling. The VOCs studied included a homologous series of 1-alkanols, 2-ketones, organic sulfides, and the principle components of gasoline including: toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, methyl tertbutyl ether, and ethyl tertbutyl ether. A model with temperature-independent parameters based on dilute solution theory was developed using the library of data to resolve the disagreements between literature sources and perform a priori prediction of salt effects. The model correlated air-water partitioning data in the form of Henry s constants over temperature ranges as wide as 300 Kelvin, salt concentrations up to 4 molal, and pressures up to 1000 bar. Extrapolations of up to 50 K, and 1 molal salt and 100 bar pressure can also safely be performed to eliminate the need for additional experiments. The temperature-independent salt effect parameter was found to be directly proportional to the critical volume of the VOC and all homologous VOCs explored followed the same linear trend allowing a priori prediction of the salt effect for unexplored compounds.
