两亲性分子聚集体的相变及其协同性

两亲性分子聚集体是一类重要的软物质,它们有着丰富而复杂的相行为.本文主要从两个方面综述了作者所在的研究组在两亲性分子聚集体相变研究方面的工作进展.(1)磷脂相关体系相变热力学:归纳了多种小分子(二甲基亚砜、甘油、海藻糖、尿素等)对于磷脂体系相行为的调控,比较并讨论了固醇类分子和葡萄糖神经酰胺分子诱导磷脂分子形成液态有序相的能力,还介绍了计算机模拟磷脂相行为的工作进展.(2)两亲性分子聚集体相变的协同性:先介绍了相变协同性(即分子头部、尾部、界面等基团在相变过程中的一致性)问题的提出,然后通过双十八烷基二甲基溴化铵分子和硬脂酰溶血卵磷脂两个体系的研究实例,说明两亲性分子聚集体相变过程中存在着头尾不一致的现象.对这个问题的研究,将为我们打开挑战相态转变的一系列重大问题(如相变动力学、相态多型性、相态稳定性以及相变可逆性等)的新窗口.     

稳态和动态荧光研究疏水缔合共聚物P(AM/POEA)的自缔合行为和聚集体

应用稳态和动态荧光光谱方法,包括荧光探针、标记荧光和荧光淬灭等研究了共聚物P(AM/POEA)在水溶液中的自缔合性质.这种共聚物由丙烯酰胺(AM)和少量疏水单体2-苯氧乙基丙烯酸酯(POEA)组成.实验结果表明这类共聚物的自缔合行为和聚集体结构主要取决于聚合物的链结构和浓度.由胶束共聚合方法得到具有多嵌段结构的共聚物,它们容易发生疏水缔合,并产生很强的增粘作用,而由普通共聚合方法得到的无规共聚物却没有这些性质.同时这类聚合物的缔合类型及其增粘能力也直接与共聚物中的疏水体含量相关,随疏水体含量增加,由于分子间和分子内缔合的竞争,出现粘度先增后降的现象.在荧光研究的基础上提出了多分子聚合物聚集体的结构模型,它随聚集体浓度增加,进一步形成多联聚集体和网状结构.同时还观察到聚集体中疏水体有序排列现象.

蒽是由3个苯环线型排列形成的稠环芳香族化合物,具有较大的疏水刚性平面和富电子的共轭体系.这些结构特性不仅赋予蒽较高的荧光量子产率和良好的光电性质,而且有利于其分子间有序相互作用的建立,使蒽成为构建共价聚集体和非共价组装体的良好构筑单元,在制备结构多样和功能特异的材料中表现出广阔的应用前景.本文从驱动聚集体和组装体形成的角度出发,归纳总结基于蒽芳香骨架的共价聚集体和非共价组装体结构,揭示蒽芳香骨架对结构及功能的影响,阐述这些聚集体和组装体在有机光电材料、有机半导体材料、超分子化学等领域中的应用.     

由凝胶因子形成的十四酸异丙酯超分子凝胶制备与表征

采用双十八烷基-L-苯丙氨酸(Bis18-L-Phe)为凝胶因子,制备了具有热可逆性的十四酸异丙酯(IPM)超分子凝胶。IPM凝胶相转变温度(Tgel)随Bis18-L-Phe浓度增大而增加。偏光显微镜(POM)显示在整个IPM凝胶中形成了相互缠绕的针状聚集体。FT-IR光谱分析表明Bis18-L-Phe分子间酰胺的氢键作用是IPM凝胶形成的一个重要驱动力。IPM凝胶动力学研究表明凝胶时间随Bis18-L-Phe浓度的增大而缩短,随着温度升高而延长,因此IPM凝胶时间可以通过温度和Bis18-L-Phe浓度调控。     

表面活性素单分子膜在空气/水界面的迟滞现象

Thermosensitive aggregates self-assembled by an asymmetric block copolymer of dendritic polyether and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

An asymmetric linear-dendritic block copolymer of polyether dendrimer and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) was prepared by an atom transfer radical polymerization method. The self-assembly behavior and thermosensitive property of this copolymer in water were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence probe spectroscopy. It was found that the thermosensitive phase transition takes place at the temperature of 37.5 °C; simultaneously the spherical aggregates grow into larger entangled nanotubules. The unique temperature-sensitive supramolecular aggregates may make them especially useful as intelligent capsules for drug delivery systems and as chemical sensors.     

Novel temperature‐ and pH‐responsive graft copolymers composed of poly(L‐glutamic acid) and poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)

A series of novel temperature‐ and pH‐responsive graft copolymers, poly(L ‐glutamic acid)‐g‐poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide), were synthesized by coupling amino‐semitelechelic poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) with N‐hydroxysuccinimide‐activated poly(L ‐glutamic acid). The graft copolymers and their precursors were characterized, by ESI‐FTICR Mass Spectrum, intrinsic viscosity measurements and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR). The phase‐transition and aggregation behaviors of the graft copolymers in aqueous solutions were investigated by the turbidity measurements and dynamic laser scattering. The solution behavior of the copolymers showed dependence on both temperature and pH. The cloud point (CP) of the copolymer solution at pH 5.0–7.4 was slightly higher than that of the solution of the PNIPAM homopolymer because of the hydrophilic nature of the poly(glutamic acid) (PGA) backbone. The CP markedly decreased when the pH was lowered from 5 to 4.2, caused by the decrease in hydrophilicity of the PGA backbone. At a temperature above the lower critical solution temperature of the PNIPAM chain, the copolymers formed amphiphilic core‐shell aggregates at pH 4.5–7.4 and the particle size was reduced with decreasing pH. In contrast, larger hydrophobic aggregates were formed at pH 4.2. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 4140–4150, 2008     

Phase Transition and Micellization of Temperature Responsive Dextran—graft—poly（N—isopropylacrylamide）Polymers

Phase behavior and micellization of dextran-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAAm)polymers in aqueous solution are investigated in this paper using DSC and AFM methods.It is found that with the increase of grafting(G%) of the copolymers the endothermic enthalpy during the phase transition increases significantly and the transition temperature decreases slightly.The phase transition behavior of the copolymers is scanning rate dependent.Micelles are formed whenever the solution temperature is raised above the LCST of the copolymers.It is proposed that by using this thermal responsive property of the copolymers,drugs could be incorporated into the micelles without employing any organic solvent.     

温度/pH敏感性P(MAA-g-DEAM)共聚物水溶液的相行为

2,6‐Diaminopyridine and Acrylamide‐Based Copolymers with Upper Critical Solution Temperature‐type Behavior in Aqueous Solution

A novel copolymer based on supramolecular motif 2,6‐diaminopyridine and water‐soluble acrylamide, poly[N‐(6‐acetamidopyridin‐2‐yl) acrylamide‐co‐acrylamide], was synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization with various monomer compositions. The thermoresponsive behavior of the copolymers was studied by turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The obtained copolymers showed an upper critical solution temperature (UCST)‐type phase transition behavior in water and electrolyte solution. The phase transition temperature was found to increase with decreasing amount of acrylamide in the copolymer and increasing concentration of the solution. Furthermore, the phase transition temperature varied in aqueous solutions of electrolytes according to the nature and concentration of the electrolyte in accordance with the Hoffmeister series. A dramatic solvent isotope effect on the transition temperature was observed in this study, as the transition temperature was almost 10–12 °C higher in D₂O than in H₂O at the same concentration and acrylamide composition. The size of the aggregates below the transition temperature was larger in D₂O compared to that in H₂O that can be explained by deuterium isotope effect. The thermoresponsive behavior of the copolymers was also investigated in different cell medium and found to be exhibited UCST‐type phase transition behavior in different cell medium. Such behavior of the copolymers can be useful in many applications including biomedical, microfluidics, optical materials, and in drug delivery. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Phase transition of aqueous solutions of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) by differential scanning calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods

 The phase transition of aqueous solutions of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (DEAAm–AA) is studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and UV–vis spectrophotometry. The copolymer aqueous solutions are shown to have well-defined lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs). The LCST values obtained from the maximum of the first derivatives of the DSC and optical transition curves agree well. DSC can be used to measure the phase-transition temperature of more dilute polymer solutions. On increasing the AA composition in the copolymers, the LCST values of the copolymer increase, then decrease at higher AA composition. For the aqueous solution of the copolymers, the transition curve obtained by the spectrophotometric method is highly wavelength dependent. The LCST values are found to be concentration-dependent. The changes in the heat of the phase transition of the copolymer solutions measured from DSC are lower than that of the homopolymer PDEAAm solution. This is consistent with the suggestion that the polymer chains of the copolymers collapsed only partially at temperatures above the LCST. The added salt (sodium chloride) decreases the transition temperature of the polymer solution. Received: 14 November 2000 Accepted: 15 January 2001

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.     

Phase‐transition characteristics of amphiphilic poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline)/poly(ε‐caprolactone) block copolymers in aqueous solutions

Amphiphilic diblock and triblock copolymers of various block compositions based on hydrophilic poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) (PEtOz) and hydrophobic poly(ε‐caprolactone) were synthesized. The micelle formation of these block copolymers in aqueous media was confirmed by a fluorescence technique and dynamic light scattering. The critical micelle concentrations ranged from 35.5 to 4.6 mg/L for diblock copolymers and 4.7 to 9.0 mg/L for triblock copolymers, depending on the block composition. The phase‐transition behaviors of the block copolymers in concentrated aqueous solutions were investigated. When the temperature was increased, aqueous solutions of diblock and triblock copolymers exhibited gel–sol transition and precipitation, both of which were thermally reversible. The gel–sol transition‐ and precipitation temperatures were manipulated by adjustment of the block composition. As the hydrophobic portion of block copolymers became higher, a larger gel region was generated. In the presence of sodium chloride, the phase transitions were shifted to a lower temperature level. Sodium thiocyanate displaced the gel region and precipitation temperatures to a higher temperature level. The low molecular weight saccharides, such as glucose and maltose, contributed to the shift of phase‐transition temperatures to a lower temperature level, where glucose was more effective than maltose in lowering the gel–sol transition temperatures. The malonic acid that formed hydrogen bonds with the PEtOz shell of micelles was effective in lowering phase‐transition temperatures to 1.0M, above which concentration the block copolymer solutions formed complex precipitates. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
