polypropylene glycol-block-polyethylene glycol-block-polypropylene
glycol (Jeffamine ED-600, Mw = 600 g mol–1) and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylisocyanate (ICPTES,
95.0%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Tetrahydrofuran (THF, ≥99.9%),
ethanol (EtOH, 95.0%), and hydrochloric acid (HCl, 37%) were purchased
from Fisher Scientific. Water was obtained from a Millipore Simpak
2 water purification system. p-O-TPE36 (link) (Mn = 18,600 g mol–1, MW = 36,700 g mol–1) and N,N-bis(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-1,6,7,12-tetra-tert-butylphenoxyperylene-3,4:9,10-tetra-carboxdiimide39 (link) were synthesized as previously reported. All
materials were used as received.
