包合作用与质子化程度对聚(N-丙烯酰-N′-丙基哌嗪)浊点的影响

聚（N-丙烯酰-N′-丙基哌嗪）(PAcrNPP) 是一种pH和温度双重响应的均聚物,通过调节PAcrNPP溶液的pH值可以改变其质子化程度,随着质子化程度的增加高分子溶液浊点逐渐升高。我们测试了不同尺寸的环糊精(CD)对PAcrNPP浊点的影响,在相同摩尔浓度时,α-CD对高分子溶液浊点影响最大,而α-CD对浊点几乎没有影响。分别在pH 9.0和pH 7.4时测量了含有不同浓度的α-CD的PAcrNPP水溶液的浊点,不同pH条件下,PAcrNPP水溶液的浊点随α-CD浓度的增大而升高。并根据溶液中不同存在形式的PAcrNPP对浊点的贡献,推导了一个方程,从化学平衡的角度说明了环糊精的包合与质子化程度对浊点的共同影响。

Phase separation behavior of aqueous solutions of a thermoresponsive polymer

Cloud‐point and binodal curves of the LCST type were obtained for aqueous solutions of a thermoresponsive polymer, poly [2‐(2‐ethoxy)ethoxyethyl vinyl ether], poly(EOEOVE). The cloud‐point curve obtained was very flat except in a dilute region, that is the cloud‐point temperature was insensitive to the polymer concentration, resembling the cloud‐point curve for aqueous solutions of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide). On the other hand, the binodal curve obtained was parabolic, and located within the two‐phase region of the cloud‐point curve. Accompanied with the phase separation, a sharp endothermic peak was observed in a region including the cloud‐point and binodal temperatures. The reciprocal of the osmotic compressibility ?Π/?c obtained by sedimentation equilibrium indicated that water changes from a good to poor solvent for poly(EOEOVE) with increasing temperature. Analyzing the ?Π/?c data by a thermodynamic perturbation theory, we determined the interchain interaction parameters, the hard‐core diameter d and the depth ε of the square‐well potential. Theoretical binodal and endothermic curves calculated by the perturbation theory using the estimated interaction parameters reproduced experimental ones semiquantitatively, but the theoretical binodal disagreed with the experimental flat cloud‐point curve. The disagreement at high concentrations was in the opposite direction to that expected from the sample polydispersity in the molecular weight. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Anionic wormlike micellar fluids that display cloud points: rheology and phase behavior

We report our investigations into the self-assembly of sodium oleate (NaOA) in the presence of a binding salt (triethylammonium chloride, Et(3)NHCl) simple salt (potassium chloride, KCl). Both salts promote the growth of long, wormlike micelles in NaOA solutions, thereby increasing the fluid viscosity. The significant difference with the Et(3)NHCl salt is that it also modifies the phase behavior of NaOA solutions. Specifically, NaOA/Et(3)NHCl solutions display cloud points upon heating, followed by phase separation into two liquid phases. Such cloud point behavior is rarely observed in ionic surfactant systems, although it is common in nonionic surfactant solutions. Interestingly, while cloud points are not observed with KCl, the addition of KCl to NaOA/Et(3)NHCl solutions further lowers the cloud point temperature. Also, in the case of tetraethylammonium halide salt, neither a cloud point nor an increase in viscosity is observed. The clouding in the case of Et(3)NHCl is attributed to the temperature-induced aggregation of anionic micelles whose surface is covered by bound counterions.     

Effects of Various Additives on the Cloud Point of Dodecyl Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Ether

Effects of various additives, including electrolytes, alcohols and organic acids, polymers, and ionic and nonionic surfactants, on the cloud point of dodecyl polyoxyethylene (5) polyoxypropylene (4) ether nonionic surfactant aqueous solutions are investigated. The salting-out electrolytes decrease the cloud point while salting-in electrolytes increase it. Most alcohols and organic acids can lower the cloud point except for methanol and ethanol. The polymers form complexes with the surfactant and decrease the cloud point. The added surfactants can be inserted into the micelles of the nonionic surfactant and form mixed micelles, thus raising the cloud point.     

Temperature responsive copolymers of N‐vinylcaprolactam and di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate and their interactions with drugs

Poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) and poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMA) are well known for their thermoresponsive behavior in aqueous solutions. Indeed, they display lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in the physiological range, which makes them interesting for biomedical devices and use in drug delivery systems. Homopolymers of N‐vinylcaprolactam and di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate as well as copolymers thereof were synthesized by solution and direct miniemulsion polymerizations. The cloud points of the copolymers in aqueous solution were investigated as a function of temperature, comonomer ratio, and in the presence of model pharmaceutical ingredients. By variation of the comonomer ratio, it was possible to control the cloud point temperature between 26 and 35 °C, which was found to be beneficial to attenuate the effect of the drugs that also altered the cloud points. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Separation and preconcentration by a cloud point extraction procedure for determination of metals: an overview

Recently, cloud point extraction (CPE) has been an attractive subject as an alternative to liquid–liquid extraction. The technique is based on the property of most non-ionic surfactants in aqueous solutions to form micelles and become turbid when heated to the cloud point temperature. This review covers a selection of the literature published on applications of CPE in determination of metal ions over the period between 2004 and 2008.     

Oleate Ester-Derived Nonionic Surfactants: Synthesis and Cloud Point Behavior Studies

The synthesis and cloud point behavior of high oleate ester-derived nonionic surfactants are now reported. The effect of various polyethoxylate chain lengths (polyethylene glycol with 7, 11, and 16 units of ethylene oxide (EO) monomer) as the surfactant's hydrophilic head on the cloud point was investigated. The effect of varying amounts of sodium chloride and five different ionic surfactants on the cloud points of the synthesized nonionic surfactants were also presented. When the chain length of polyethoxylate increased, the cloud point of the synthesized nonionic surfactant also increased, ranging from 16°C, 43°C, and 64°C for 7, 11, and 16 EO units, respectively. Increments in sodium chloride concentration depressed the cloud point values of the synthesized nonionic surfactants linearly. The addition of ionic surfactants elevated the cloud points of the synthesized nonionic surfactant. However, in the presence of sodium chloride, the cloud point of the mixed ionic-nonionic solution was suppressed and anincrease in ionic surfactant concentration was required to elevate the cloud point. It was also found that the cloud points of synthesized surfactants can be raised up to 95°C in the presence of 4wt% NaCl solution.     

Aggregation behavior of thermo-responsive poly(2-oxazoline)s at the cloud point investigated by FCS and SANS

We have studied different thermo-responsive poly(2-oxazoline)s with iso-propyl (iPrOx) and n-propyl (nPrOx) pendant groups in aqueous solutions, where they exhibit lower critical solution temperature behavior. This paper focuses on the effect of the degree of polymerization, n, the concentration, c, in the dilute regime, and the presence of hydrophobic moieties. The cloud points were investigated as a function of the degree of polymerization, n, and of the polymer concentration, c. The aggregation behavior near the cloud point was studied by temperature-resolved small-angle neutron scattering and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, i.e., a combination of ensemble and single molecule methods. We found that at the cloud points, large aggregates are formed and that the cloud points depend strongly on both, n and c. Diblock copolymers from iPrOx and nPrOx form large aggregates already at the cloud point of PnPrOx, and, unexpectedly, no micelles are observed between the cloud points of the two blocks. Gradient copolymers from iPrOx and n-nonyl-2-oxazoline (NOx) display a complex aggregation behavior resulting from the interplay between intra- and intermolecular association mediated by the hydrophobic NOx blocks. Above the cloud point, an intermediate temperature regime with a width of a few Kelvin was found with small but stable polymer aggregates. Only at higher temperatures, larger aggregates are found in significant number.     

Investigation of the role of electrolytes and non-electrolytes on the cloud point and dye solubilization in antidepressant drug imipramine hydrochloride solutions

Antidepressant drug imipramine hydrochloride (IMP) is amphiphilic which shows surfactant-like behavior in aqueous solutions. We have studied the effect of adding electrolytes and non-electrolytes on the micellar behavior of IMP by making cloud point (CP) and dye solubilization measurements. The CP of a 100mM IMP solution (prepared in 10mM sodium phosphate (SP) buffer) was found to decrease with increasing pH, both in the absence as well as presence of added salts. Increase in pH increased the visible absorbance of Sudan III dye solubilized in the drug micelles, implying micellar growth. Addition of increasing amounts of salts to 100mM IMP solutions (at pH 6.7) caused continuous increase in CP due to micellar growth. On the basis of these studies, the binding-effect orders of counter- and co-ions have been deduced, respectively, as: Br(-)>Cl(-)>F(-) and Li(+)相似文献   

Phase behavior of water-in-supercritical carbon dioxide microemulsion with sodium salt of bis(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol) sulfosuccinate

The fluorinated analogues of AOT surfactant, sodium salt of bis(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1-pentanol) sulfosuccinate, which has CO₂-philic chains and a hydrophilic head group, was synthesized for forming water-in-CO₂ microemulsion. The cloud point of this surfactant was measured and the supercritical fluid-phase behavior of water-in-CO₂ microemulsion was investigated by using a variable-volume view cell apparatus. It was found that the phase behavior of microemulsion is affected by the concentrations of water and surfactant in CO₂, molar ratio of water to surfactant (W_o = [water]/[surfactant]), and the amount of CO₂. From this experiment, we found out another cloudy point which exists above the homogeneous microemulsion region. We defined this point as “upper cloud point” and general cloud point as “lower cloud point. The region which exists between these two cloud points was defined as “stable region of microemulsion”. Conditions for the formation of water-in-CO₂ microemulsion were obtained at temperatures up to 370.15 K.

Morphology control of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers by phase separation technique

Based on the constructed theoretical ternary phase diagrams of water/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) terpolymer system, the phase separation behavior for PAN fibers preparation was investigated. Theoretical ternary phase diagrams were determined by the extended Flory‐Huggins theory. To investigate the temperature dependence of theoretical ternary phase diagrams, all binary interaction parameters at different temperatures were determined accurately and thoroughly revisited. From numerical calculations, it was found that a small quantity of water was needed to induce phase demixing. Meanwhile, the cloud point data of the system for more dilute PAN terpolymer solutions were determined by cloud point titration, and the cloud point data for more concentrated PAN terpolymer solutions were calculated by Boom's linearized cloud point (LCP) curve correlation. Furthermore, the morphology of PAN fibers was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With increasing the concentration of PAN terpolymer solutions as well as the quenching depth, the morphology of PAN fibers turns from large open channels to small bead‐like structures, accompanying with a reduction of the porosity of PAN fibers. Judging from our investigation, it was clear that the final morphology of PAN fibers was mainly determined by phase separation in fiber‐forming process. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Temperature-driven Precipitation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) in Cationic,Anionic and Nonionic Surfactant Solutions

The temperature-driven precipitation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-MAA)) in anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants solutions was investigated under an acidic (e.g. pH 3.0) and an alkali condition (pH 9.0). Under the acidic condition, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, anionic) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC, cationic) increased the cloud point of the copolymer and they suppressed the temperature-sensitivity. Under the alkali condition, SDS suppressed the temperature sensitivity as under the acidic condition, but CTAC boosted the temperature sensitivity and it decreased the cloud point of the copolymer. The effect of CTAC on the phase transition under the alkali condition was opposite to the effect observed under the acidic condition. Tween 20 (non-ionic) had little effect on the cloud point and the temperature-sensitivity under both the acidic and the alkali conditions.     

Thermoresponsive copolymers of methacrylic acid and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate

Copolymers of methacrylic acid (MAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) were prepared and their cloud points in aqueous solution were studied as a function of comonomer ratio, solution pH, and presence of hydrophobic comonomers. Under acidic conditions, the cloud point falls below 0 °C for copolymers with between 25% to 60% ether content, because of the formation of hydrophobic H‐bonded ether–acid complexes. The cloud point also decreases with solution pH. For equivalent ether to acid ratios, the cloud point decreases with decreasing PEG chain length, because of the presence of a larger number of hydrophobic methyl and methacrylate groups. Similarly, the cloud point decreases upon incorporation of hydrophobic comonomers such as butyl, lauryl, or glycidyl methacrylates. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Micellization and Clouding Phenomenon of Phenothiazine Drug Promethazine Hydrochloride: Effect of NaCl and Urea Addition

Herein we report the micellization and clouding behavior of promethazine hydrochloride (PMT) in absence and presence of NaCl/ureas. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of PMT is measured by conductivity method and the values decrease with increasing the NaCl concentration. With increasing the temperature, the CMC first increases then decreases. At 25°C, the maximum CMC values were obtained (with or without NaCl). The thermodynamic parameters are evaluated which indicate more stability of the PMT solution in presence of NaCl. PMT shows phase separation also. The cloud point (CP) of PMT decreases with increase in pH due to deprotonation of the drug molecules. Ureas decreased the CP and the behavior is explained on the basis of removal of water from the head group region.     

End group effect on the thermo‐sensitive properties of well‐defined water‐soluble polystyrenics with short pendant oligo(ethylene glycol) groups synthesized by nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization

The effects of hydrophobic chain end groups on the cloud points of thermo‐sensitive water‐soluble polystyrenics were investigated. Well‐defined poly (4‐vinylbenzyl methoxytris(oxyethylene) ether) (PTEGSt) and poly(α‐hydro‐ω‐(4‐vinylbenzyl)tetrakis(oxyethylene)) (PHTrEGSt) were prepared by nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization using α‐hydrido alkoxyamine initiators including two monomer‐based initiators. The polymers were reduced with (n‐Bu)₃SnH to replace the alkoxyamine end group with hydrogen. In the studied molecular weight range (M_n,GPC = 3000 to 28,000 g/mol), we found that the hydrophobic end groups decreased the cloud point by 1–20 °C depending on the molecular weight and the largest depression was observed at the lowest molar mass. The cloud points of PTEGSt and PHTrEGSt with two hydrophobic end groups, phenylethyl and alkoxyamine, exhibited a monotonic increase with the increase of molecular weight. For polymers with only one hydrophobic end group, either phenylethyl or alkoxyamine, the cloud point initially increased with the increase of molecular weight but leveled off/decreased slightly with further increasing molar mass. For polymers with essentially no end groups, the cloud point decreased with the increase of chain length, which represents the “true” molecular weight dependence of the cloud point. The observed molecular weight dependences of the cloud points of polystyrenics with hydrophobic end group(s) are believed to result from the combined end group effect and “true” molecular weight effect. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cloud point phenomena for POE-type nonionic surfactants in a model room temperature ionic liquid

The cloud point phenomenon has been investigated for the solutions of polyoxyethylene (POE)-type nonionic surfactants (C(12)E(5), C(12)E(6), C(12)E(7), C(10)E(6), and C(14)E(6)) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF(4)), a typical room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). The cloud point, T(c), increases with the elongation of the POE chain, while decreases with the increase in the hydrocarbon chain length. This demonstrates that the solvophilicity/solvophobicity of the surfactants in RTIL comes from POE chain/hydrocarbon chain. When compared with an aqueous system, the chain length dependence of T(c) is larger for the RTIL system regarding both POE and hydrocarbon chains; in particular, hydrocarbon chain length affects T(c) much more strongly in the RTIL system than in equivalent aqueous systems. In a similar fashion to the much-studied aqueous systems, the micellar growth is also observed in this RTIL solvent as the temperature approaches T(c). The cloud point curves have been analyzed using a Flory-Huggins-type model based on phase separation in polymer solutions.     

Layer-by-layer assembly of two temperature-responsive homopolymers at neutral pH and the temperature-dependent solubility of the multilayer film

We fabricated a layer-by-layer (LbL) film of temperature-responsive homopolymers at neutral pH and studied its temperature-dependent solubility. We first measured the cloud point of mixed solutions of temperature-responsive polymers. The significant decrease of cloud point suggested that the intermolecular interaction between two polymer chains of different kinds was stronger than that between two polymer chains of the same kind. Strong intermolecular interaction between two polymer chains of different kinds is a prerequisite for LbL assembly. On the basis of the decrease of cloud point of mixed solutions of temperature-responsive homopolymers, we selected poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) and poly(2-hydroxypropyl acrylate) (PHPA) for LbL assembly. LbL films of the two polymers were fabricated at neutral pH at a constant temperature. When the film was immersed in purified water at a temperature lower than the assembly temperature, it can be partially dissolved with a diffusion-limited dissolution process. The temperature-responsive solubility of the LbL film is closely connected to the phase behavior of mixed solutions of the two polymers. Additionally, as compared to multilayer films of neutral polymers and poly(carboxylic acid)s, the PVCL/PHPA multilayer film is relatively stable when it was immersed in buffer solutions near physiological pH at the assembly temperature. Such LbL films with temperature-responsive solubility might be used as a dissolvable film or a smart capsule.     

Unusual effect of molecular weight and concentration on thermoresponsive behaviors of well‐defined water‐soluble semirigid polymers

A series of water‐soluble semirigid thermoresponsive polymers with well‐defined molecular weights based on mesogen‐jacketed liquid crystal polymers (MJLCPs), poly[bis(N‐hydroxyisopropyl pyrrolidone) 2‐vinylterephthalate] (PHIPPVTA) have been synthesized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) revealed that the novel monomer and polymers have thermoresponsive properties with cloud point in the range between 10 and 90 °C. The cloud point was increased by 56.2 °C when the polymer molecular weight increased from 0.47 × 10⁴ g mol^?1 to 3.69 × 10⁴ g mol^?1. In addition, the cloud point of PHIPPVTA was decreased by 18.8 °C with the increase of polymer concentration from 5 to 10 mg mL^?1. A slight increase (0.1–3.5 °C) of cloud point has been observed after knocking off the end‐groups of PHIPPVTA. Moreover, the cloud point of polymer increased with increasing of its molecular weight with or without the trithiocarbonate end‐groups, which showed the opposite trend comparing with other thermoresponsive polymers with flexible backbones. These polymers show a dramatic solvent isotopic effect that the cloud point in D₂O was lower than in H₂O. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012
