采用原子转移自由基聚合伴随水解的方法合成了聚丙烯酸-聚醚嵌段共聚物(PAA-F108-PAA), 并通过氢核磁共振波谱和二维核Overhauser效应谱(2D NOE)研究了温度、 羧酸基团中和度(α)及盐浓度对PAA-F108-PAA嵌段共聚物在水溶液中胶束化行为的影响. 结果表明, PAA-F108-PAA分子的临界胶束化温度受α影响较小, 受盐的种类和浓度影响较大. 当α=0.14(0.01 mol/L KCl)时, 在6 ℃条件下, PAA-F108-PAA分子处于塌缩状态, 而在60 ℃条件下, 聚氧化丙烯(PPO)链段发生疏水聚集形成胶束的核, PAA链段与PEO链段相互作用形成胶束的壳; 当α=0.80(0.01 mol/L KCl)时, 在6 ℃条件下, PAA-F108-PAA分子处于相对伸展状态, 而在60 ℃条件下, PPO链段仍发生疏水聚集形成胶束的核, PEO与PAA彼此分离形成胶束的壳. 增加KCl的浓度至1 mol/L, PAA-F108-PAA分子的临界胶束化温度显著降低, KCl对PPO和PEO链段都表现出脱水作用. 但KI的浓度增加至1 mol/L时, PAA-F108-PAA分子的临界胶束化温度仅略微增加, KI对PPO链段表现出脱水作用, 而对PEO链段表现出增溶作用.     

两亲嵌段共聚物溶液内胶束形成的温度效应

合成了一系列具有两亲嵌段结构的聚（乙二醇）（PEO）一聚（丙二醇）（PPO）共聚物．利用荧光探针及示差量热法测定了共聚物水溶液的临界胶束形成温度（CMT）值．发现二嵌段共聚物（PEO－PPO）和三嵌段共聚物（PEO－PPO－PEO）有着类似的变化规律，即随共聚物分子中疏水链（PPO）长度的增大，其CMT值降低．但三嵌段共聚（PPO－PEO－PPO）则因疏水链段处于共聚物分子的两端，因而在溶液中有可能形成立体网状交联结构．此外，利用探针分子在不同极性溶剂中荧光峰值波长发生位移的现象可以对形成胶束内核的组织程度、极性大小进行估测．

(1) 球形胶束(5%-10%, φ), 模拟的胶束结构表明疏水的PPO嵌段形成球形内核(micellar core), 而亲水的PEO嵌段形成核壳(micellar corona), 并有水分子存在内核和核壳之中；(2) 胶束簇(11%-15%, φ), 由于球形胶束之间的缔合, 形成直径明显高于球形胶束的聚集体, 其半径比球形胶束大1 nm左右；(3) 盘状胶束(16%-25%, φ), 胶束簇核壳PEO嵌段之间的相互缠绕, 形成了成串的类似盘状的胶束. 模拟中有序参数随浓度的变化证明了这种结构划分的合理性.

PEO-PPO嵌段聚醚的聚集行为及其在药物载体领域的应用

聚氧乙烯-聚氧丙烯(PEO-PPO)嵌段聚醚是一类非离子型高分子表面活性剂,其结构具有很多独特之处:分子结构具有丰富的可设计性,强烈的温度依赖的胶束化行为以及溶剂选择的多样性,这些都极大丰富了其在溶液中自组装形成聚集体的研究内容。本文结合本课题组的工作着重综述了近期国内外有关线型和支状PEO-PPO嵌段聚醚在水溶液中聚集特性的研究进展,以及酸/碱、无机盐、醇类、小分子表面活性剂和聚合物等添加剂对其聚集行为的影响。PEO-PPO嵌段聚醚具有良好的生物相容性,在水溶液中能形成以PPO链段为疏水内核, PEO链段为亲水外壳的胶束结构,该结构非常适于作为疏水药物的载体。因此本文还综述了此类嵌段聚醚作为药物载体方面的研究成果,期望为药物剂型的开发研究提供理论支持。

Aggregation behavior of pluronic triblock copolymer in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium type ionic liquids

Three amphiphilic poly(oxyethylene)-poly(oxypropylene)-poly(oxyethylene) ethers triblock copolymers, denoted Pluronic L61 (PEO3PPO30PEO3), Pluronic L64 (PEO13PPO30PEO13), and Pluronic F68 (PEO79PPO30PEO79) were shown to aggregate and form micelles in ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (bmimPF6). The surface tension measurements revealed that the dissolution of the copolymers in ILs depressed the surface tension in a manner analogous to aqueous solutions. The cmcs of three triblock copolymers increase following the order of L61, L64, F68, suggesting that micellar formation was driven by solvatophobic effect. cmc and gamma cmc decrease with increasing temperature because hydrogen bonds between ILs and hydrophilic group of copolymers decrease and accordingly enhance the solvatophobic interaction. Micellar droplets of irregular shape with average size of 50 nm were observed. The thermodynamic parameters DeltaGm0, DeltaHm0, DeltaSm0 of the micellization of block copolymers in bmimBF4 and bmimPF6 were also calculated. It was revealed that the micellization is a process of entropy driving, which was further confirmed by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) measurements.     

1H NMR spectroscopic investigations on the micellization and gelation of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers in aqueous solutions

The effects of temperature, polymer composition, and concentration on the micellization and gelation properties of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers in aqueous solutions were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the temperature-dependent behavior of PPO blocks, observed as changes in chemical shift, half-height width, and integral value, could be attributed as an intrinsic tool to characterize the transition states during unimer to micelle formation. The 1H NMR spectral analysis revealed that the hydrophobic part, PPO, of the Pluronic polymers plays a more significant role in the temperature-induced micellization, whereas the transitional behavior of Pluronic polymer, i.e., from micellization to liquid crystals formation, resulted in the drastic broadening of the spectral signals for the PEO, indicating that the PEO segments play a more significant role in the crystallization process. It was also observed that the temperature-dependent changes in the half-height width of the PEO -CH2- signal are sensitive to the liquid crystalline phase formation, which could be attributed to the close packing of spherical micelles at high polymer concentrations or temperatures.     

Cloud Point Phenomena of Mixed Block Copolymers

Cloud points data on solutions of a poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO) abbreviated as EPE or Pluronics, such as P–65, P–84, P–85, P-105, L-64, and their mixtures at different salt (NaCl) concentrations in water are reported. The addition of NaCl to these mixed copolymers decreases cloud point, increases surface activity, and shifts micellization to lower concentration. In presence of NaCl, more surfactant is needed for demicellization of P105 micelles.

Study of heat of micellization and phase separation for Pluronic aqueous solutions by using a high sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry

Heat of micellization and phase separation temperature (known as cloud point) for the poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (abbreviated by PEO–PPO–PEO) triblock copolymers, the Pluronics F108, F98, F88, F68, F38, P65, and L62, in water are carefully determined by using a high sensitivity differential scanning calorimeter. It is interesting to find out that there exists a maximum heat of micellization for all these Pluronics. In this study, the heat of micellization of all of the Pluronics decreases as the temperature increases, as expected, at high temperature region (low Pluronic concentration region). However, the enthalpy change has a surprisingly positive relationship with temperature at low temperature region (high Pluronic concentration region). The critical micelle temperature consistently decreases as the Pluronic concentration increases. This unexpected behavior of the positive heat capacity changes of Pluronic aqueous solutions at higher concentration region is somewhat related to the variation of water accessible polar (PEO groups) and non-polar (PPO groups) surface areas in the micellization process. Especially, the removal of polar surface area from water may dominate the contribution to the positive heat capacity change upon micellization. In addition, the cloud points of Pluronic solutions are also discussed. The enthalpy–entropy compensation phenomenon for the micellization of Pluronics is discussed, and the enthalpy–entropy compensation temperature is calculated.     

Micellization in aqueous solution of an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide triblock copolymer, investigated with 1H NMR spectroscopy, pulsed-field gradient NMR, and NMR relaxation

(1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been applied to study the temperature and concentration-induced micellization of a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) triblock copolymer, Pluronic P105, in D(2)O solutions in the temperature range from 5 to 45 degrees C and the concentration range from 0.01 to 15% (w/v). The intrinsic probes, the chemical shift, and the half-height width of the PO CH(3) signal are very sensitive to the local environment and can be used to characterize the temperature and concentration-dependent aggregation process. When the temperature approaches the critical micellization temperature or the polymer concentration reaches the critical micellization concentration, the chemical shift of the PO CH(3) signal moves toward lower ppm values and the half-height width of the PO CH(3) signal shows a sudden increase. It indicates that the methyl groups are experiencing a progressively less polar environment and transferring from water to the hydrophobic micellar core. The hydrodynamic radius of the unimers and the micelles are determined as be 1.8 and 5.0 nm by means of pulsed-field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR. They were independent of temperature and concentration. The drastic shortening of spin-lattice relaxation time T(1) for the PO CH(3)/CH(2) protons in the transition region suggested that the PPO blocks are located in a "liquid-like" micellar core, whereas the exponential increase of T(1) for the PEO CH(2) protons implied that the PEO blocks are still keeping in contact with surrounding water. Thermodynamics analysis according to a closed association model shows that the micellization process is entropy-driven and has an endothermic micellization enthalpy.     

Phase behavior and local dynamics of concentrated triblock copolymer micelles

We report a neutron-scattering study to characterize the ordering and local dynamics of spherical micelles formed by the triblock copolymer polyethylene oxide (PEO)--polypropylene oxide (PPO)--polyethylene oxide (Pluronic) in aqueous solution. The study focuses on two Pluronic species, F68 and F108, that have the same weight fraction of PEO but that differ in chain length by approximately a factor of 2. At sufficiently high concentration, both species undergo a sequence of phase changes with increasing temperature from dissolved chains to micelles with liquid-like order to a cubic crystal phase and finally back to a micelle liquid phase. A comparison of the phase diagrams constructed from small-angle neutron scattering indicates that crystallization is suppressed for shorter chain micelles due to fluctuation effects. The intermediate scattering function I(Q,t)I(Q,0) determined by neutron spin echo displays a line shape with two distinct relaxations. Comparisons between I(Q,t)I(Q,0) for fully hydrogenated F68 chains in D2O and for F68 with deuterated PEO blocks reveal that the slower relaxation corresponds to Rouse modes of the PPO segments in the concentrated micelle cores. The faster relaxation is identified with longitudinal diffusive modes in the PEO corona characteristic of a polymer brush.     

Melt, hydration, and micellization of the PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymer studied by FTIR spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study the conformational changes of the polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymer, Pluronic P104, in a large concentration range in a polymer-water system as a function of temperature. The melt in which the conformational transition of the PEO blocks occurs gives remarkable changes in the spectral behavior. A small amount of water in Pluronic P104 can induce the PEO block amorphism. The addition of more water only swells the PEO dominant region and gives no significant difference in the conformational structure of the block copolymer in the ordered phases of Pluronic P104-water mixtures. The PPO blocks of Pluronic P104 are hydrated only in a condition of lower temperature and higher water content. The temperature dependent micellization of Pluronic P104 in water was analyzed by a FTIR spectroscopic method. The appearance of the symmetric deformation band of the anhydrous methyl groups at temperature below the CMT indicates the existence of a hydrophobic microenvironment. The appearance of the symmetric deformation band of the hydrated methyl groups at higher temperatures indicates that the micellar core must contain some amount of water. The results of FTIR data show that the proportion of the anhydrous methyl groups increases and water content in the micellar core decreases during the micellization process.

Effect of chain lengths of PEO-PPO-PEO on small unilamellar liposome morphology and stability: an AFM investigation

The morphology and stability of small unilamellar egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) liposomes modified with the Pluronic copolymer (poly (oxyethylene)-poly (oxypropylene)-poly (oxyethylene) (PEO-PPO-PEO)) with different compositions on mica surface have been investigated using atomic force microscopy. Morphology studies reveal significant morphological changes of liposomes upon incorporating the Pluronic copolymer. Bilayers are observed for Pluronic with small hydrophilic (PEO) chain lengths such as L81 [(PEO)2(PPO)40(PEO)2] and L121 [(PEO)4(PPO)60(PEO)4]; bilayer and vesicle coexistence is observed for P85 [(PEO)26(PPO)39.5(PEO)26] and F87 [(PEO)61.1(PPO)39.7(PEO)61.1]; and stable vesicles are observed for F88 [(PEO)103.5(PPO)39.2(PEO)103.5], F127 [(PEO)100(PPO)65(PEO)100], and F108 [(PEO)132.6(PPO)50.3(PEO)132.6]. The micromechanical properties of Pluronic-modified EggPC vesicles were studied by analyzing AFM approaching force curve. The bending modulus (k(c)) of the Pluronic-modified EggPC vesicles increased several-fold compared with that of the pure EggPC vesicles. The significant difference is due to the enhanced rigidity of the EggPC vesicles as a result of the incorporation of PPO molecules and PEO chains. Based on the analysis of onset point by AFM and diameters of vesicles by light scattering, it was concluded that the favorable model to describe the polymer-bilayer interaction is the membrane-spanning model.
