Abstract: | We prepared reversible micelles with dye loaded on the shells or cores by ion exchange. A poly(4-styrylmethyl triphenylphosphonium chloride)-block-polystyrene diblock copolymer prepared from poly(4-vinylbenzylchloride)-block-polystyrene and triphenylphosphine was reacted with methyl orange in a mixed solvent of benzene and acetonitrile to produce poly[4-styrylmethyl triphenylphosphonium 4-(4-dimethylamino)phenylazobenzenesulfonate]-block-polystyrene. The loading of the methyl orange on the micellar shells or cores was dependent on the composition of the mixed solvents. Dynamic light scattering demonstrated that the loading of the dye on the cores significantly expanded the micelles when compared to that on the shells. The loading of the dye on the cores shifted the UV wavelength of the methyl orange, whereas that on the shells produced no changes in the UV wavelength. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation of the spherical micelles. |
