Electrorheological Properties

The self-assembly properties and ER effects of the Polyaniline-Poly(ethylene glycol)-Polyaniline (PAn-PEG-PAn) triblock copolymers were studied in this paper. The results indicate that with the increase of solubility parameter of the solvent, PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers form into different morphologies of spheriods, vesicles and rods. PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers with vesicles morphology show the highest polarization strength, while those with rods have the most rapid polarization rate. Among the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymers of different morphologies, the PAn-PEG-PAn copolymer vesicles show the strongest ER effect.

Mixed Solutions

The behavior of amphiphilic block copolymers in solution has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this paper, the self-assembly behaviors of the amphiphilic fluorinated ABC-type triblock copolymer (MeOPEO16-PSt220-PFHEA22) in different mixed solutions were studied. Also, the effect of ionic concentration on the self-assembly aggregates of the copolymer in toluene-ethanol-water was studied.
