荧光探光对N—异丙基丙烯酰胺—丙烯酰胺共聚物水溶液相变的研究

合成了多种不同配比的Ｎ－异丙基丙烯酰胺（ＮＩＰＡＭ）与丙烯酰胺（ＡＭ）的共聚物。用荧光探针法研究了共聚物溶液荧光光谱随温度升高而引起的变化,研究表明：共聚物的最低临界溶温度（ＬＣＳＴ）取决于ＡＭ与ＮＩＰＡＭ的组成比,ＡＭ的比例越大。ＬＣＳＴ就越高,且有较好的正比关系,通过以共价键连接于共聚物的荧光探针法（标记法）和以小分子探针混入共聚物水溶液的方法（混入法）测定上述体系ＬＣＳＴ的结果比较,发现标记探针法具有较高的灵敏度,更适宜用来研究共聚物水相体系的相变问题。

pH-responsive amphiphilic hybrid random-type copolymers of poly(acrylic acid) and poly(acrylate-POSS): synthesis by ATRP and self-assembly in aqueous solution

The synthesis and subsequent self-assembly of novel, random-type amphiphilic pH-responsive hybrid copolymers, having acrylic acid as pH-responsive hydrophilic and acrylate-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) as hydrophobic constituents are reported. The synthesis was carried out in two steps: first, t-butylacrylate and acrylate-POSS are copolymerized by ATRP, followed by the acid hydrolysis of t-butyl acrylate constituents of the synthesized poly(t-butylacrylate)-co-poly(acrylate-POSS) copolymers to achieve poly(acrylic acid)-co-poly(acrylate-POSS). It was found that POSS is a powerful hydrophobic unit. With very low POSS concentration in the copolymers, i.e., one POSS unit per 40 to 110 acrylic acid repeat units, the obtained amphiphilic hybrid copolymers could self-assemble in aqueous solution to form nanoaggregates, as revealed by the laser light scattering and fluorescence studies on the aqueous solutions of the obtained copolymers. The formation of hydrophobic core in the self-assembled aggregates is verified by the solubilization of pyrene (used as probe in fluorescence measurements) in aqueous solution of the copolymers. In addition to pH-dependent self-assembly behavior, it is also demonstrated that the particle size and aggregation number of the aggregates can be tuned simply by varying the composition of the copolymer, i.e., by changing the molar ratio of poly(acrylic acid) to poly(acrylate-POSS) in the copolymer. Finally, preliminary results on the influence of salt (NaCl) on the self-assembly of poly(acrylic acid)-co-poly(acrylate-POSS) in aqueous solution are also presented.     

Amphiphilic copolymers with increased affinity for substrates

The copolymers of methyl quaternized 2-dimethylaminoethyl acrylate and styrene, 2-vinyl naphthalene, acrylic acid iso-octyl ester, or acrylic acid n-butyl ester have been prepared. Studies were made of the binding of a “binding probe,” methyl orange, by the copolymers in aqueous solution. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters in the course of the binding were evaluated. Furthermore, the intensity of fluorescence of a hydrophobic fluorescent probe, 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate, in the presence of these polymers was investigated. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of monomer and excimer emissions of the polymers with aromatic residues were measured. The excimer/monomer fluorescence intensity ratio was studied in the presence of various additives such as methyl orange, urea, methanol, and NaCl to gain an insight into the nature of microdomains in the polymer. The nature and phenomena of dye binding and hydrophobic fluorescent probe binding with the polymers are discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Effect of temperature and surfactant structure on the microviscosity at the micelle-water interface: isomeric alkylbenzenesulfonates used as their own probe

We investigated the effect of temperature and surfactant structure on the microviscosity in aqueous micellar solutions formed by isomeric hexadecylbenzenesulfonates (xphiC16, where x=4-6 and indicates the position of the benzene ring [phi] along the alkyl chain) by fluorescence polarization and excimer emission spectroscopy. For a given isomer, the degree of polarization (p) was found to decrease with increasing temperature, with no evidence for changes in micellar structure. etaint/tau ratios, where etaint is the microviscosity of the benzene environment in micelles and tau its natural lifetime, were derived from fluorescence polarization measurements and showed a similar temperature behavior to that observed with the degree of polarization, suggesting that a thermal effect is the determinant factor in the variation of etaint. Interestingly, the microviscosity around the benzene ring was found to depend on the isomer structure in the entire range of temperatures investigated (8-60 degrees C) and is mainly determined by the orientation of the surfactant at the micelle-water interface in which the short alkyl chain is preferentially located at the interface and the long alkyl chain in the micellar core. This micelle conformation was found to prevail in the entire range of temperatures. In contrast to the dependence of p with temperature, excimer to monomer maximum emission ratios (IE/IM) were found to increase with increasing temperature, showing that when IE/IM is high (strong excimer emission), the degree of polarization is low (low microviscosity) and vice versa. Thus, the two independent measurements (IE/IM and p) yield the same information, namely, that the benzene moiety in all xphiC16 aqueous micelles resists both translational and rotational diffusion in a similar manner in the entire range of temperatures investigated (approximately 8-60 degrees C).     

Aggregation of Sodium 2,4,5-(tri-n-Alkyl)-benzene Sulfonates in Aqueous Solution: Micellization and Microenvironment Characteristics Studied by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and Steady-State Fluorescence Quenching

The aggregation behaviors and microenvironmental characteristics of five sodium tri-n-alkylbenzene sulfonates (STABS) micelles have been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and steady-state fluorescence quenching (SSFQ) techniques. The results indicated that the micropolarity of STABS micelles was less sensitive to the increase of the alkyl chain length, and showed slight decrease with the increasing solution concentration. The microviscosity of STABS micelles increased with the increase of the long alkyl chain length, decreased with the increase of the short alkyl chain length, and exhibited little increase when increase the solution concentration. The salinity of added inorganic salt exhibited obvious effect on the decrease of micropolarity and increase of microviscosity of STABS. These results suggested that these different alkyl chains showed different effects on the micellization of STABS and the salinity's effect was even bigger.     

Novel fluoroalkyl end-capped amphiphilic diblock copolymers with pH/temperature response and self-assembly behavior

A series of fluoroalkyl end-capped diblock copolymers of poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA or PDMA) and poly[2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDEAEMA or PDEA) have been synthesized via oxyanion-initiated polymerization, in which a potassium alcoholate of 4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoro-1-heptanol (NFHOK) was used as an initiator. The chemical structures of the NFHO-PDMA-b-PDEA and NFHO-PDEA-b-PDMA depended on the addition sequence of the two monomers and the feeding molar ratios of [DMA] to [DEA] during the polymerization process. These copolymers have been characterized by (1)H NMR and (19)F NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The aggregation behavior of these copolymers in aqueous solutions at different pH media was studied using a combination of surface tension, fluorescence probe, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both diblock copolymers exhibited distinct pH/temperature-responsive properties. The critical aggregation concentrations (cacs) of these copolymers have been investigated, and the results showed that these copolymers possess excellent surface activity. Besides, these fluoroalkyl end-capped diblock copolymers showed pH-induced lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) in water. TEM analysis indicated that the NFHO-PDMA(30)-b-PDEA(10) diblock copolymers can self-assemble into the multicompartment micelles in aqueous solutions under basic conditions, in which the pH value is higher than the pKa values of both PDMA and PDEA homopolymers, while the NFHO-PDEA(10)-b-PDMA(30) diblock copolymers can form flowerlike micelles in basic aqueous solution.     

Microviscosity in poly(ethylene oxide)‐polypropylene oxide‐poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers probed by fluorescence depolarization kinetics

Triblock copolymers [poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and polypropylene oxide (PPO)], Pluronic F127 with 100 PEO blocks on each end, and 65 blocks of PPO in the center were examined in aqueous solution. The “sol” and “gel” phase diagram was determined as a function of concentration and temperature. For further study, the concentration was fixed at 20 wt %, and the temperature dependence of the dynamic viscosity differed from the temperature dependence of fluorescence emission spectra and the microviscosity probed by the fluorescence depolarization kinetics of rhodamine 123 dye, which was dissolved in the continuous hydrophilic phase. The depolarization measurements used single‐photon counting after two‐photon excitation with a Ti‐sapphire femtosecond laser. Although the viscoelastic modulus increased by an order of magnitude when the sol‐to‐gel transition was crossed, the microviscosity of the hydrophilic continuous medium showed only minor changes. At different temperatures the fluorescence lifetime was the same with a single‐exponential time constant, but the fluorescence depolarization displayed a double‐exponential decay. After comparison with fluorescence depolarization of the dye in PPO melt and PEO whose molecular weight and aqueous concentrations were varied, the relative proportions of faster and slower components of the fluorescence depolarization were tentatively attributed to varying ratios of the dye in free solution and associated with micelles. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermosensitive copolymer coatings with enhanced wettability switching

Expanded cross-linked copolymers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAAm) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) of varying monomer ratios were grafted from a crystalline silicon surface. Surface-tethered polymerization was performed at a slightly basic pH, where electrostatic repulsion among acrylic acid monomer units forces the network into an expanded polymer conformation. The influence of this expanded conformation on switchability between a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic state was investigated. Characterization of the copolymer coating was carried out by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) ellipsometry, and diffuse reflectance IR. Lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of the copolymer grafts on the silicon surfaces were determined by spectrophotometry. Temperature-induced wettability changes were studied using sessile drop contact angle measurements. The surface topography was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in Milli-Q water at 25 and 40 degrees C. The reversible attachment of a fluorescently labeled model protein was studied as a function of temperature using a fluorescence microscope and a fluorescence spectrometer. Maximum switching in terms of the contact angle change around the LCST was observed at a ratio of 36:1 PNiPAAm to PAAc. The enhanced control of biointerfaces achieved by these coatings may find applications in biomaterials, biochips, drug delivery, and microfluidics.     

Synthesis and Properties of Hydrophilic Copolymers Containing 5-Fluorouracil,Thymine, or Adenine

Hydrophilic copolymers containing 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), thymine, or adenine were prepared by the free-radical copolymerization of methacryloyl-type monomers containing them with water-soluble vinyl monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, vinylpyrroli-done, acrylamide, and 4(5)-vinylimidazole with AIBN as initiator. Complex formation between the copolymers and RNA and between the copolymers having complementary nucleic acid bases in aqueous solution and a DMSO-ethylene glycol was studied by means of UV spectroscopy. These copolymers were found to release the N-hydroxyethyl derivatives of 5-FU, thymine, or adenine by hydrolysis of the ester of the polymer side chain under mild conditions. The effects of the kind of water-soluble comonomer, temperature, pH, and the imidazole group as catalyst on the hydrolysis of the ester are discussed.
