The associative behavior of monodisperse diblock copolymers consisting of a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) block and a hydrophobic poly(epsilon-caprolactone) or poly(gamma-methyl-epsilon-caprolactone) block has been studied in aqueous solution. Copolymers have been directly dissolved in water. The solution properties have been studied by surface tension, in relation to mesoscopic analyses by NMR (self-diffusion coefficients), transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering. The experimental results suggest that micellization occurs at low concentration (approximately 0.002 wt %) and results in a mixture of unimers and spherical micelles that exchange slowly. The radius of the micelles has been measured (ca. 11 nm), and the micellar substructure has been extracted from the fitting of the SANS data with two analytical models. The core radius and the aggregation number change with the hydrophobic block length according to scaling laws as reported in the scientific literature. The poly(ethylene oxide) blocks are in a moderately extended conformation in the corona, which corresponds to about 25% of the completely extended chain. No significant modification is observed when poly(gamma-methyl-epsilon-caprolactone) replaces poly(epsilon-caprolactone) in the diblocks. 相似文献

A doubly hydrophilic triblock copolymer poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PAA-b-PEO-b-PAA) with M
w/M
n = 1.15 was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization of t-butyl acrylate (tBA), followed by acidolysis of the PtBA blocks. The pH-sensitive micellization of PAA-b-PEO-b-PAA in acidic solution was investigated by potentiometric titration, fluorescence spectrum, dynamic light scattering and
zeta potential. The pK
a was 6.6 and 6.0 in deionized water and in 0.1 mol/L NaCl solution, respectively. The copolymer formed micelles composed of
a weakly hydrophobic core of complexed PAA and PEO and a hydrophilic PEO shell in 1 mg/mL solution at pH < 5.5 due to hydrogen
bonding. The critical micelle concentration was 0.168 mg/mL at pH 2.0. At pH < 4.5, steady and narrow distributed micelles
were formed. Increasing pH to 5.0, unsteady and broad distributed micelles were observed. At pH > 5.5, the micelle was destroyed
owing to the ionization of the PAA blocks. 相似文献

The interaction between triton X series surfactants and poly (ethylene glycol) in aqueous solutions 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A series of Triton X surfactants with different ethylene oxide chain length and poly(ethylene glycols) with different molecular
weight were used, to find the effects of polymer chain length and size of the micelles on the cloud point of the surfactants.
Two possible models are considered on the basis of cloud point changes of the solutions, to describe the polymer–surfactant
interactions. One model considers that intra-chain micelles of polysoap are formed among the surfactant monomers and long
polymer chains. The bridging attraction between two intra-chain micelles in such structures can enhance the collisions among
the micelles, due to the exchange of amphiphilic monomers among the neighboring micelles. The other model suggests that flocculation
depletion for the polymer chains exists between two regular micelles. This provides the driving force for the neighboring
micelles to approach each other and destabilize the colloidal system. The flocculation effect is more significant for polymer
with a long chain. Polymers with a shorter chain block the approach of the micelles, since there is no typical polymer–surfactant
association formed but just simple small molecule associations in which the steric and solvation effects of the polymer chains
make the inter-micelle interactions repulsive.

The determination of the properties of aqueous salt solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) has been extended to cloud-point and θ-temperature measurements in sodium acetate, potassium fluoride, sodium thiosulfate, and potassium phosphate. The Hofmeister series for the decreasing effect of anion species in salting out the polymer is accordingly extended. However, the order of the effect depends on whether it is made on the basis of molar anion concentration the molar concentration of unit anion charge, or the ionic strength. Viscosity measurements on θ and non-θ solutions containing zinc sulfate, potassium fluoride, and potassium phosphate gave polymer dimensions (in addition to limiting viscosity numbers etc.), and characteristic ratios in good agreement with theoretical predictions (Abe and Mark), and enthalpy and entropy parameters χH and χs; the latter values, nominally ?0.14 and 0.63, are identical at 298 K for the three salt species. 相似文献

Hydrogels undergo reversible and discontinuous volume changes in response to variation of solution conditions such as solvent composition, temperature, salt concentration, and pH. In this contribution we focus our attention on the experimental and theoretical investigation of these swelling equilibria of aqueous cross-linked poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) solutions as well as on the connected demixing behavior of the linear polymer dissolved in water. For the experimental study of the (liquid + liquid) equilibrium an alternative method based on refractive index measurements is suggested. In order to calculate the swelling behavior a model combining an expression for the Gibbs free energy of mixing with an expression for the elastic network is applied. As a model for the Gibbs free energy of mixing the UNIQUAC-approach and the Koningsveld–Kleintjens model are used. For the elastic network contribution again two different theories, namely the phantom network theory and the affine network theory, were applied. Whereas the type of network theory has only a small influence on the calculation results, the Gibbs free energy of mixing has a large impact. Using the UNIQUAC-approach the swelling equilibria can be correlated close to the experimental data, however, this model predicts a homogeneous mixture for linear polymer chains in water. In contrast to this situation the Koningsveld–Kleintjens model does a good job in calculating the swelling equilibria as well as the demixing curve, however, the adjustable parameter must be changed slightly. 相似文献

The phase separation mechanism in semidilute aqueous poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) solutions is investigated with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The nature of the phase transition is probed in static SANS measurements and with time-dependent SANS measurements after a temperature jump. The observed critical exponents of the phase transition describing the temperature dependence of the Ornstein-Zernike amplitude and correlation length are smaller than values from mean-field theory. Time-dependent SANS measurements show that the specific surface decreases with increasing time after a temperature jump above the phase transition. Thus, the formation of additional hydrogen bonds in the collapsed state is a kinetic effect: A certain fraction of water remains as bound water in the system. Moreover, H-D exchange reactions observed in PNIPAM have to be taken into account. 相似文献

The effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) upon the thermally induced association behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymer, Pluronic P103, has been investigated using pyrene fluorescence spectroscopy. The critical micellization temperature (CMT) of Pluronic P103 in aqueous solution is decreased by the addition of NaCl. The standard enthalpy and entropy of micellization for Pluronic P103 in water are increased in the presence of small amounts of NaCl, but further addition of NaCl decreases the standard enthalpy and entropy of micellization. The I1/I3 ratio of pyrene in aqueous Pluronic P103 solutions at temperature below the CMT decreases with increases of NaCl concentration, which is related to the decrease of PPO solubility. The decrease in polarity of the PPO shifts the CMT toward lower temperature. 相似文献

The γ radiolysis of aqueous high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) solutions has been studied. The crosslinking and eventual gelation of these solutions appears to occur via an indirect effect. Solubility measurements on the gelled solutions showed that the ratio of crosslinking to degradation is about four. G(H2) increased from 1.3 in neutral solutions to 3.5 in 0.1N HCl solutions. In heavy water solutions, HD is the major gaseous product. Solvated electrons are not important precursors to hydrogen at neutral pH. Intramolecular crosslinking appears to be an important phenomenon in solutions of high molecular weight polymers. 相似文献

Interaction of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) copolymers with anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated in aqueous solution. Formation of mixed micelles has been confirmed by surface tension measurements, whereas the influence of the surfactant on the copolymer self-assembling has been studied by measurement of the 1H NMR self-diffusion coefficients and by small-angle neutron scattering. As a rule, the surfactant decreases the heterogeneity of the micellar structures formed by the copolymer in water. Moreover, increasing the content of SDS results in the increasingly more important extension of the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) corona chains and the copolymer micelle deaggregation. The stability of the micelles against SDS increases with the length of the hydrophobic block. Preliminary two-dimensional NMR measurements with nuclear Overhauser enhancement have confirmed the spatial vicinity between SDS and the constitutive blocks of the copolymer. 相似文献

Aggregation and disaggregation of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers, Pluronics P103 and P104, in aqueous solutions during a heating and cooling cycle were investigated by dynamic laser scattering (DLS) and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Temperature hysteresis was observed by DLS when cooling the copolymer aqueous solutions because larger aggregates existed at temperatures lower than critical micellization temperature (CMT), but no temperature differences were observed by NMR. This phenomenon was explained as the forming of water-swollen micelles at temperatures lower than CMT during the cooling process. 相似文献

Aqueous poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO109-PPO41-PEO109) copolymers are nonionic surfactants that self-organize to form aggregate structures with increasing temperature or concentration. We have studied two concentrations over a range of temperatures so that the copolymers are in one of three microphases: unimers, micelles, or hydrogels formed from body centered cubic aggregates of micelles. Three different coumarin dyes were chosen based on their hydrophobicity so that different aggregate regions could be probed independently-water insoluble coumarin 153 (C153), hydrophobic coumarin 102 (C102), and the hydrophilic sodium carboxylate form of coumarin 343 (C343-). Fluorescence anisotropy experiments provide detailed information on the local microviscosity. C153 experiences a fourfold increase in reorientation time and hence microviscosity with increasing temperature through the microphase transition from unimers to micelles. C102 also shows an increase in microviscosity with temperature but smaller in magnitude and with the microphase transition shifted to higher temperature relative to C153. C343- shows only a slight sensitivity to the microphase transition. For any of the three coumarin probes, fluorescence anisotropies do not show any correlation with the microphase transition to form cubic hydrogels. 相似文献

The rheological properties of bentonite clay-filled aqueous solutions of high-molecular-mass poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) have been studied. The PEO solution is a typical polymer solution characterized by the highest Newtonian viscosity and the range of non-Newtonian flow. The addition of small amounts of bentonite to the PEO solution causes passage to a viscoplastic behavior that manifests itself as the appearance of the yield stress. Therewith, the flow at the highest Newtonian viscosity in the region of low shear stresses (rather than rates) remains possible. After passing through the yield stress, the effect of antithixotropy, i.e., an increase in the viscosity with the deformation rate in a certain shear rate region, has been observed for the multicomponent systems. The data obtained have been interpreted assuming that the addition of the solid filler to the polymer solution destroys the random network of entanglements between macromolecules, while the presence of the polymer in the clay suspension reduces the strength of the coagulation structure of bentonite. 相似文献

The self-diffusion behavior of a triblock copolymer (PEO–b– PPO–b–PEO) in an aqueous solution of 20% (m/m) was investigated
during a temperature-induced phase transition from liquid to gel state using pulsed field gradient NMR and static light scattering.
The measured self-diffusivity shows a strong dependence on the observation time in the gel phase indicating the existence
of diffusion barriers in the size range of about 0.6 μm.
Additional static light-scattering measurements show a structure in the same size range of several hundred nanometers, which
is far above molecular or micellar sizes and thus, has to be caused by larger clusters.
The similarity in the space scales suggests that the restriction of molecular propagation is correlated with the grain boundaries
between the domains of the poly-crystalline structure formed by the arranged micelles.

The thermoreversible gelation of Pluronic [poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)–polypropylene oxide (PPO)–PEO] aqueous solutions originates from micelle formation and micelle volume changes due to PEO–water and PPO–water lower critical solution temperature behavior. The micelle volume fraction is known to dominate the sol–gel transition behavior of Pluronic aqueous solutions. Triblock copolymers of PEO and aliphatic polyesters, instead of PPO, were prepared by hexamethylene diisocyanate coupling and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide coupling. Through changes in the molecular weight and hydrophobicity of the polyester middle block, the hydrophobic–hydrophilic balance of each block was systematically controlled. The following aliphatic polyesters were used: poly(hexamethylene adipate) (PHA), poly(ethylene adipate) (PEA), and poly(ethylene succinate) (PESc). With the hydrophobicity and molecular weight of the middle block increasing, the critical micelle concentration at the same critical micelle temperature decreased, and the absolute value of the micellization free energy increased. The micelle size was rather insensitive to temperature but slightly decreased with increasing temperature. PEO–PHA–PEO and PEO–PEA–PEO triblock copolymers needed high polymer concentrations to form gels. This was ascribed to the tight aggregation of PHA and PEA chains in the micelle core due to strong hydrophobic interactions, which induced the contraction of the micelle core. However, because of the relatively hydrophilic core, a PEO–PESc–PEO aqueous solution showed gelation at a low polymer concentration. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cloud-point curves have been determined for aqueous solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) at several concentrations for a variety of inorganic salts (sulfates, carbonates, nitrates, and chlorides). From these, theta conditions have been determined. The resulting dependences of the critical temperature θ (mostly between 300 and 360°K) on the molar concentrations (or ionic strengths) of the salts in solution cannot wholly be summarized in sequences of ion effects. The major findings are that sulfates and carbonates are much more effective in reducing θ than the chlorides and nitrates at the same concentrations. The trends found depend on salt concentration, i.e., certain plots of the data cross over, but they broadly agree with those found for comparable systems by other workers. Exceptional are the chlorides of Group II and LiCl which show minima when θ is plotted against molar salt concentration. While interpretations based on solvent structure-breaking are not adequate, there are similarities in behavior with the structure-breaking attributes of the ions based on independent studies (infrared). The results are briefly discussed in terms of current postulates: a more detailed discussion will accompany further experimental studies on these systems. 相似文献

Surfaces carrying hydrophilic polymer brushes were prepared from poly(styrene)-poly(acrylic acid) and poly(styrene)-poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers, respectively, using a Langmuir-Blodgett technique and employing poly(styrene)-coated planar glass as substrates. The electrical properties of these surfaces in aqueous electrolyte were analyzed as a function of pH and KCl concentration using streaming potential/streaming current measurements. From these data, both the zeta potential and the surface conductivity could be obtained. The poly(acrylic acid) brushes are charged due to the dissociation of carboxylic acid groups and give theoretical surface potentials of -160 mV at full dissociation in 10(-)(3) M solutions. The surface conductivity of these brushes is enormous under these conditions, accounting for more than 93% of the total measured surface conductivity. However, the mobility of the ions within the brush was estimated from the density of the carboxylic acid groups and the surface conductivity data to be only about 14% of that of free ions. The poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brushes effectively screen the charge of the underlying substrate, giving a very low zeta potential except when the ionic strength is very low. From the data, a hydrodynamic layer thickness of the PEO brushes could be estimated which is in good agreement with independent experiments (neutron reflectivity) and theoretical estimates. The surface conductivity in this system was slightly lower than that of the polystyren substrate. This also indicates that no significant amount of preferentially, i.e., nonelectrostatically attracted, ions taken up in the brush. 相似文献

The phase behavior (temperature vs composition) and microstructure for the two binary systems Pluronic 25R4 [(PO)19(EO)33(PO)19]-water and Pluronic 25R2 [(PO)21(EO)14(PO)21]-water have been studied by a combined experimental approach in the whole concentration range and from 5 to 80 degrees C. The general phase behavior has been identified by inspection under polarized light. Precise phase boundaries have been determined by analyzing 2H NMR line shape. The identification and microstructural characterization of the liquid crystalline phases have been achieved using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The isotropic liquid solution phases have been investigated by self-diffusion measurements (PGSE-NMR method). 25R2 does not form liquid crystals and is miscible with water in the whole concentration range; with increasing temperature, the mixtures split into water-rich and a copolymer-rich solutions in equilibrium. 25R4 shows rich phase behavior, passing, with increasing copolymer concentration, from a water-rich solution to a lamellar and copolymer-rich solution. A small hexagonal phase, completely encircled in the stability region of the water-rich solution, is also present. In water-rich solutions, at low temperatures and low copolymer concentrations, the copolymers are dissolved as independent macromolecules. With increasing copolymer concentrations an interconnected network of micelles is formed in which micellar cores of hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) are interconnected by poly(ethylene oxide) strands. In copolymer-rich solutions water is molecularly dissolved in the copolymer. The factors influencing the self-aggregation of Pluronic R copolymers (PPO-PEO-PPO sequence) are discussed, and their behavior in water is compared to that of Pluronic copolymers (PEO-PPO-PEO sequence). 相似文献

Amphiphilic diblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(l-leucine) (PLeu) with mannose at the chain end of PEG were synthesized by a combination of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and click chemistry. First, an α-azido, ω-amino PEG (N(3)-PEG-NH(2)) was synthesized and converted to the corresponding amine hydrochloride (N(3)-PEG-NH(2)·HCl), which was used as a macroinitiator to initiate the ROP of L-leucine-N-carboxyanhydride (Leu-NCA), yielding three amphiphilic block copolymers with different chain lengths of PLeu (N(3)-PEG-b-PLeu). Then, click chemistry of the alkynyl mannose with N(3)-PEG-b-PLeu anchored a mannose moiety to the PEG chain end of the copolymer. The self-assembly behavior of these copolymers in water was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), laser light scattering (LLS) and circular dichroism (CD). Depending on the copolymer composition and the initial concentration of the copolymer in organic solvent, different morphologies (e.g. spherical micelle, wormlike micelle) were observed. The aggregation behavior was demonstrated to be controlled by secondary structure formation and the hydrophobic interactions of the PLeu segments. With mannose moieties on the surface of the aggregates, these aggregates could bind reversibly the lectin Concanavalin A (Con A). 相似文献

Effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the temperature-dependent association behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymers was investigated using pyrene fluorescence spectroscopy. The critical micellization temperature (CMT) of pluronics in aqueous solution was increased by the addition of BSA. A closed association model was used to obtain the standard free energies (△G0), enthalpies (△H 0), and entropies (△S 0) of micellization. The standard enthalpy and entropy of micellization for pluronic polymers in water were decreased with an increase of the BSA content. The more PPO component in the pluronic polymer, the higher the changed values of micellization enthalpy and entropy. The hydrophobic part of the pluronics, PPO, was responsible for the interaction between pluronics and BSA. Hydrophobic interaction between PPO and BSA was correlated to the alternation of the PPO-PPO interaction by the addition of BSA, which would shift the CMT toward higher temperature and alter the thermodynamic parameters of micellization for pluronics in aqueous solutions. 相似文献

The acid effect on the aggregation of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers EO(20)PO(70)EO(20) has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analyzer (PSA), Fourier transformed infrared, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The critical micellization temperature for Pluronic P123 in different HCl aqueous solutions increases with the increase of acid concentration. Additionally, the hydrolysis degradation of PEO blocks is observed in strong acid concentrations at higher temperatures. When the acid concentration is low, TEM and PSA show the increase of the micelle mean diameter and the decrease of the micelle polydispersity at room temperature, which demonstrate the extension of EO corona and tendency of uniform micelle size because of the charge repulsion. When under strong acid conditions, the aggregation of micelles through the protonated water bridges was observed. 相似文献
