Thermoresponsive complex amphiphilic block copolymer micelles investigated by laser light scattering

Poly(isoprene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PI-b-PEO) diblock copolymers form micelles in water. The introduction of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO) triblock copolymer leads to the formation of mixed micelles through hydrophobic interaction. The dimension of the mixed micelles varies with the weight ratio (r) of PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO to PI-b-PEO. By use of laser light scattering, we have investigated the temperature dependence of the structural evolution of the micelles at different r. At r<10, the size of the mixed micelles decreases with temperature. At r>10, due to the excessive PEO-b-PPO-b-PEO chains in solution, as temperature increases, the mixed micelles aggregate into larger micelle clusters.     

Towards microphase separation in epoxy systems containing PEO/PPO/PEO block copolymers by controlling cure conditions and molar ratios between blocks. Part 2. Structural characterization

The influence of addition of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO) copolymers on final morphologies of modified epoxy matrices has been investigated as a function of PEO:PPO molar ratio and cure conditions by comparison with the cured epoxy blends only containing poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) or poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) homopolymers. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to characterize structural features of blends. Whilst diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM)/PPO system macrophase separates, the interactions between PEO and cured epoxy are responsible for miscibility of DGEBA/DDM/PEO system. Depending on PEO:PPO molar ratio, micro- or macrophase separated morphologies have been obtained for block copolymer modified epoxy matrices. Moreover, the influence of both copolymer content and cure temperature on final morphologies has also been investigated by both experimental and theoretical analysis.     

The effect of PEO block lengths on the size and stability of complex coacervate core micelles

We report on a series of polyion complexes from mixtures of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(N,N-diethylaminoethylmethacrylate) (PEO-PDEAMA) and poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(aspartic acid) (PEO-PAsp). As expected, the micelle size, polydispersity and stability are dependant on the relative and absolute lengths of the polyelectrolyte chains. However, we also demonstrate that whilst the length of the charged polyelectrolyte blocks is important, the length of the PEO chains is an equally relevant variable in determining both the size and stability of the final micelles as well as the degree of charge neutralisation at which micellisation occurs. We also show that the kinetics of formation can result in very different stability of the final micelles.     

Direct synthesis of hierarchical monolithic silica for high performance liquid chromatography

The silica-based monolith exhibiting a hierarchical bimodal porous structure has been directly synthesized via lytropic mesophase. The hydrolysis and condensation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (P123) and acetic acid results in silica monolith with MSU-type mesoporous structure embedded in the skeleton of the interconnected macropore. The silica monolith with bimodal porous structure can separate benzene and phenol with high flow rate and low back-pressure. Moreover, the chromatographic property of C18-grafted silica monolith is investigated in the separation of aromatic molecules. Our primary result shows that the silica monolith with interconnected macropore and MSU-type mesopore is a promising packing material as stationary phase for high performance liquid chromatography.     

Reduction of protein adsorption to a solid surface by a coating composed of polymeric micelles with a glass-like core

Adsorption studies by optical reflectometry show that complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) composed of poly([4-(2-amino-ethylthio)-butylene] hydrochloride)(49)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)(212) and poly([4-(2-carboxy-ethylthio)-butylene] sodium salt)(47)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)(212) adsorb in equal amounts to both silica and cross-linked 1,2-polybutadiene (PB). The C3Ms have an almost glass-like core and atomic force microscopy of a dried layer of adsorbed C3Ms shows densely packed flattened spheres on silica, which very probably are adsorbed C3Ms. Experiments were performed with different types of surfaces, solvents, and proteins; bare silica and cross-linked 1,2-PB, NaNO(3) and phosphate buffer, and lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, beta-lactoglobulin, and fibrinogen. On the hydrophilic surface the coating reduces protein adsorption >90% in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, whereas the reduction on the coated hydrophobic surface is much lower. Reduction is better in phosphate buffer than in NaNO(3), except for the positively charged lysozyme, where the effect is reversed.     

Dynamic elasticity of triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) on a water surface

Dilatational viscoelasticity of adsorbed and spread films of the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer at the air-water interface is studied by the capillary waves and oscillating barrier techniques. At the surface pressure below 10 mN/m, dynamic surface properties of these films coincide with those of poly(ethylene oxide). At higher surface pressures, the results obtained indicate the desorption of poly(propylene oxide) segments from the monolayer and their interaction with poly(ethylene oxide) segments in an aqueous phase. At a surface pressure close to 19 mN/m, the behavior of adsorbed and spread poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) films becomes different. The real part of dynamic surface elasticity of spread films tends toward its maximum value (20 mN/m) and, upon further compression, films begin to dissolve. At the same time, the surface elasticity of adsorbed films decreases nearly twofold upon the achievement of the maximum value that testifies the formation of looser structure of the surface layer.     

Reversible controlled assembly of thermosensitive polymer-coated gold nanoparticles

Aggregation of thermosensitive polymer-coated gold nanoparticles was performed in aqueous solution in the presence of a triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Pluronic P123, PEO(20)-PPO(68)-PEO(20)). The gold nanoparticles, AuNPs, which are covered by thermosensitive statistical copolymers poly(EO(x)-st-PO(y)), aggregate when the temperature is higher than the phase transition temperature of the polymer, leading to a macroscopic precipitation. The presence of Pluronic chains in solution prevents the uncontrolled aggregation of the AuNPs at higher temperature than both the aggregation temperature of the AuNPs (T(agg)) and the critical micellization temperature (cmt) of the Pluronic. The size, the colloidal stability, and the optical properties of the AuNPs aggregates are modulated as a function of the P123-to-AuNP ratio, which constitutes the critical parameter of the system. Moreover, the AuNP aggregation is totally reversible upon decreasing the temperature below T(agg). Our approach constitutes an easy way to the formation of well-controlled nanoparticle aggregates with well-defined sizes. The resulting aggregates have been characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and electron microscopy.     

C<Subscript>18</Subscript>-Free Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Silica Particles Derived from Sole Silsesquioxane for Reversed-Phase HPLC

Ethyl-bridged organic–inorganic hybrid silica particles were prepared via a sol–gel and hydrothermal synthesis approach using 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTESE) as the sole precursor, and triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (P123) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) as combined templates. The morphology, pore structure, chemical composition and liquid chromatographic performance of the obtained materials were investigated in detail. The particles exhibit a high surface area of 1136.40 m²/g, together with a pore volume of 0.39 cm³/g and an average pore size of 2.30 nm. Used as stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the particles without extra bonding either C₁₈ or C₈ can successfully separate a mixture of uracil, phenol, pyridine, methylbenzene, ethylbenzene and tert-butylbenzene. The obtained materials also show practical application in the separation of phthalate acid esters (PAEs), which are harmful to environment and human health. Although the columns packed with ethyl-bridged organic–inorganic hybrid silica show lower column efficiency and peak symmetry compared to commercial column, they have considerably higher chemical stability in alkaline mobile phase. The HSS column also possesses high mechanical stability which is similar to that of the commercial column.     

New biodegradable amphiphilic block copolymers of epsilon-caprolactone and delta-valerolactone catalyzed by novel aluminum metal complexes. II. Micellization and solution to gel transition

In our previous study [J. Yang, L. Jia, L. Yin, J. Yu, Z. Shi, Q. Fang, A. Cao, Macromol. Biosci. 2004, 4, 1092.], new biodegradable copolymers of diblock methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(delta-valerolactone), and triblock poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and poly(delta-valerolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(delta-valero-lactone) bearing narrow molecular weight distributions and well-defined block architectures were reported to be prepared with our original aluminum metal complex templates. This work will continue to report new investigations on their water solubility, and reversible thermal responsive micellization and solution to gel transition in distilled water. Among the new synthesized copolymers (P1-P23), seven diblock or triblock samples (P3, P6, P7, P11, P12, P19, and P21) with higher hydrophilic building block populations were revealed to be water soluble under ambient temperature. By means of UV spectrophotometer attached with a thermostat, important parameters as critical micellization mass concentrations (CMCs) and critical micellization temperatures (CMTs) were characterized for these new amphiphile dilute aqueous solution with the aid of an lipophilic organic dye probe of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH). Furthermore, the critical gelation temperatures (CGTs) were simultaneously investigated for these water-soluble block copolymers via a tube tilting method. It was found that the CMC, CMT, and CGT were strongly affected by the population and nature of the hydrophobic building blocks, and a higher hydrophobicity of the new amphiphilic block copolymer finally led to lower CMC and CMT, and higher CGT. In addition, the salts of KBr and NaCl were found to play as a salt-out effect on the solution to gel transition for the diblock P6 and triblock P11, exhibiting an interesting tunable gelation temperature close to 35-42 degrees C. These results will pave new possibility for the synthesized block structural amphiphiles as potential biomaterials to be applied in vivo.
