Conformation and Aggregation Behavior of Polyelectrolyte with Primary Amino Pendant Groups in Water or THF/Water Binary Solvent Mixture and Their Effect on the Morphology of AOT Vesicles in Aqueous Media

Cationic polyelectrolyte with primary amine pendant groups, poly (4-vinyl benzyl amine hydrochloride salt) (poly (4-VBAHS)), was characterized by static light scattering. Using light scattering measurement, the conformation transition of poly (4-VBAHS) chains in pure water, and THF/H₂O (v/v: 1/3) binary solvent mixture was discussed. Concentration-dependent multiple morphologies including interpenetrating networks, tubular micelles, branched micelles, hexagonal phases, vesicles, and needle crystals were observed by TEM. In addition, effect of poly (4-VBAHS) on the morphology, stability, and critical vesicle/micelle concentration of anionic surfactant sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosucciante vesicles were detected using dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, surface tension, and transmission measurements.     

Investigating the effect of mono‐ and multivalent counterions on the conformation of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) by nanopores

Polyelectrolytes are useful materials that have many technical, medical, physiological and biological applications. The properties of polyelectrolytes are determined not only by their chemical composition but also by their conformational states. However, the conformations of polyelectrolytes in solution are very difficult to characterize. Herein, we propose to use a protein nanopore to investigate the effect of mono‐ and multivalent counterions on the conformational changes of a simple polyelectrolyte, sodium poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (NaPSS). High concentration of KCl induced a conformational transition of NaPSS from “swollen random coil” form in low salt concentration to “random coil” form and was evidenced by the changes of the translocation event pattern. Addition of Mg²⁺ in buffer solution did not cause notable changes of NaPSS translocation events, but Dy³⁺ and Y³⁺ were shown to have remarkable effects on the translocation profile of NaPSS. Bridging events caused by Dy³⁺ or Y³⁺ between polyelectrolyte chains largely affected current blockage and dwell time of the translocation events. Our results provide experimental evidence for the classical theories of conformational transitions of polyelectrolytes and may find applications in many other polyelectrolyte‐related researches.     

Effect of the Electronic Structure of Carbenium and Silylium Ions on Their Chemical Behavior

Being isoelectronic analogs, silylium and carbenium ions exhibit quite a different reactivity toward nucleophiles. This is explained by their different electronic structures and charge distributions: In silylium ions the positive charge is almost completely concentrated on the silicon atom, and hydrogen atoms on the cationic center are hydride in nature, wheteas in carbenium ions, the positive charge is uniformly distributed between the carbenoid center and hydrogen atoms.

Effect of Surface Structure on Behavior of RuO2 Electrodes in Sulfuric Acid Aqueous Solution

The electrochemical properties of RuO₂ electrodes are studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, potential step, and impedance measurements in aqueous 0.5 mol/dm³ H₂SO₄ as a supporting electrolyte solution and applying the hanging electrolyte meniscus technique. Two types of the electrodes are used: bulk as-grown single-crystal having (101) exposed interface and 500 nm film produced by reactive RF magnetron sputtering at 450°C. The surface structure of the RuO₂ electrodes prepared by different techniques is defined from X-ray LAUE backscattering. Experimental data show that, for both RuO₂ electrodes, the charging components include a slow diffusion-controlled contribution, due to proton injection–ejection. The diffusion characteristics and the diffusion coefficients for the same electrodes are estimated and reported.

Substituent Distribution in Cellulose Acetates: Its Control and the Effect on Structure Formation in Solution

Architecture-regulated cellulose derivatives were prepared by regioselective substitution of C-2, -3, and -6 position hydroxyls in cellulose by O-acetyls or trityls. Their dynamic structures formed in polar solvents were compared with those by the commercial cellulose acetates where the distribution of hydroxyls and O-acetyls was nearly random in the chain. It was found that the difference in the chain architecture induces a large difference in the chain conformation, the solubility, and the clustering mechanism and structures; i.e., they changed with solvent quality, concentration, temperature, strength of external field, and so on.

The Effect of Chemical Structure on the DNA Binding Behavior of Tricyclic Heteroaromatic Ligands

It is well-known that small organic ligands can bind to the double-stranded nucleic acids by three modes, i.e.s grooving binding, intercalation, and electrostatic binding. Usually, intercalation of the ligands into the double helix involves the insertion of a planar atomatic cation into base stack of the helix, while groove binding of small molecules is pertaining to the docking of thin ribbon-like molecules in the minor groove of the helix. In both cases, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions can afford additional stabilization for the binding.     

Effects of Charge and Structure of Hyaluronic Acid on the Luminescence Quenching in Aqueous Solution

The quenching of electronically excited Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ (bpy = Tris-2,2′-bipyridine) by methylviologen (MV) and ferricyanide (FC) in aqueous solutions of hyaluronic acid (HA) was studied. The structural and viscosity changes occuring with increasing HA concentration were found to influence the photophysical and photochemical properties of the sensitizer. Different kinetic models had to be used for the quenchers studied. The kinetics of the quenching of *Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ by MV can be described by the pseudophase model, which indicates that the rate for the exchange of the quencher between the microdroplets is higher than that for the excited state decay of the Ruthenium complex. In contrast, the quenching by the negatively charged quencher, FC, can be described by the Infelta-Tachiya equation, which indicates that the distribution of this quencher on the aqueous microdroplets is of the Poisson type and there is no exchange of quencher molecules during the lifetime of the sensitizer. The lifetimes of the excited Ruthenium complex, the unimolecular constants for its quenching by FC and the average concentration of the aqueous microdroplets increase with increasing HA concentration, reflecting the change in the solution structure during the transition from semidilute to concentrated regions. For MV no significant dependence of the quenching constant on the HA content of the solution was found. The reaction behavior of charged reactants in HA solution depends strongly on the sign of the charge.     

Influence of Fixed Charge Distribution on Ion Mobility: Small Deviations of Equilibrium Potential from Donnan Value

The influence of the electrostatic interaction on the diffusion coefficients of ions is estimated in the approximation of the slightly varying equilibrium potential. Various assumptions have been considered for the fixed charge distribution, namely, the discrete charge distributed in the bulk, the surface charge, and the linear charge distributed around a macroion. Both the random and regular distributions of the fixed charge groups are being separately analyzed as applied to each assumption. Obtained dependencies show in some measure various types of the fixed charge heterogeneity contribute to the effect of the diffusion coefficient decrease.     

Interactions between Adsorbed Layers of a Low Charge Density Cationic Polyelectrolyte on Mica in the Absence and Presence of Anionic Surfactant

Interactions between two negatively charged mica surfaces across aqueous solutions containing various amounts of a 10% charged cationic polyelectrolyte have been studied. It is found that the mica surface charge is neutralized when the polyelectrolyte is adsorbed from a 10–50 ppm aqueous solution. Consequently no electrostatic double-layer force is observed. Instead an attractive force acts between the surfaces in the distance regime 250–100 Å. We suggest that this attraction is caused by bridging. Additional adsorption takes place when the polyelectrolyte concentration is increased to 100 and 300 ppm, and a long-range repulsion develops. This repulsive force is both of electrostatic and steric origin. The polyelectrolyte layer adsorbed from a 50 ppm solution does not desorb when the polyelectrolyte solution is replaced with an aqueous polyelectrolyte-free solution. Injection of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) into the measuring chamber to a concentration of about 0.01 CMC (8.3 × 10⁻⁵M) does not affect the adsorbed layers or the interaction forces. However, when the SDS concentration is increased to 0.02 CMC (0.166 mM) the adsorbed layer expands dramatically due to adsorption of SDS to the polyelectrolyte chains. The sudden swelling suggests a cooperative adsorption of SDS to the preadsorbed polyelectrolyte layer and that the critical aggregation concentration between the polyelectrolyte and SDS at the surface is about 0.02 CMC. The flocculation behavior of the polyelectrolyte in solution upon addition of SDS was also examined. It was found that 0.16–0.32 mol SDS/mol charged segments on the polyelectrolyte is enough to make the solution slightly turbid.

Pulsatile Release of Insulin from Layer-by-Layer Assembled Microgel Thin Films

We describe studies concerning the construction and characterization of insulin-impregnated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) microgel thin films prepared by Layer-by-Layer (LbL) polyelectrolyte assembly. These films can be built up in a highly uniform fashion and display linear buildup dependence even up to 30 layers. Thermoresponsivity of these drug loaded films can be utilized to obtain extended pulsatile release of insulin over many cycles. Continuous thermal pulsing allows solubilization of the embedded peptide and subsequent diffusion through the film layers. The magnitude of release can be tuned based on film thickness. This type of microgel thin film construct proves to be extremely robust and can potentially pulse out constant bursts of peptide for more than one month at a time.

Effects of Sequence Structure of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers on the Dispersion Behavior of Cement Paste

Different AA-OEGMA copolymers with random and block distributions were synthesized using free radical polymerization and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, respectively. Studies on the dispersion ability, adsorption isotherm, adsorption conformation, and zeta potential revealed that the random and block architecture behaved differently. Sequence structure of polycarboxylate polymers (PCPs) had a significant influence on its performance. Both monomer ratio and sequence structure had influences on the dispersion of cement paste. Compared with random PCPs, PCPs with block distribution adsorbed faster on cement particle surfaces because of the higher density of exposed carboxylic groups. For random PCPs, the adsorption was a thermodynamic spontaneous process and driven by entropy, while it was driven by Gibbs free energy for block PCPs. Besides, the hydrodynamic radius of random PCPs in solution was larger than the block PCPs. However, the adsorbed layer thickness of random PCPs was close to that of block PCPs. Furthermore, the zeta potential illustrated that the PCPs with block distribution may adopt a more extended conformation compared with random PCPs. All these findings found from the differences between random PCPs and block PCPs will help the researchers to explore high-performance PCPs.     

Conformational transition of polyelectrolytes in mixed solvent by dielectric spectroscopy: Electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions

We studied conformational transition of poly(acrylic acid)‐graft‐dodecyl (PAA‐g‐dodecyl), and PAA‐graft‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐graft‐dodecyl (PAA‐g‐PEO‐g‐dodecyl) molecules in DMF/H₂O solvent by dielectric analysis method utilizing a double‐layer polarization theory. In addition to the hydrophobic interaction which has been demonstrated to be vital for their conformational transition with water content, it is confirmed that the electrostatic interaction is crucial. For PAA‐g‐dodecyl molecules, at a critical value of water content, a peak value of correlation length is reached originating from the delicate balance between electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. For PAA‐g‐PEO‐g‐dodecyl molecules, chains conformation is mainly determined by electrostatic interaction over the entire range of water content due to the low content of dodecyl groups. Meanwhile, H‐bond associative interaction prevents the dissociation of free carboxyl groups over the range of lower water content, thus their stretched transition moves to higher water content. Our results provide the underlying insights needed to understand solvent effect on the conformational transition for polyelectrolytes with hydrophobic groups. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
