Dynamics and Energetics of the Self-Assembly of a Hydrophobically Modified Polyelectrolyte:  Naphthalene-Labeled Poly(Acrylic Acid)

The self-assembly properties and photoresponsive behaviours of an azobenzene-containing block copolymer poly(acrylic acid-block-6-(4-(p-tolyldiazenyl)phenoxy)hexyl acrylate) (PAA-b-PAzo) are reported. As azobenzene has reversible trans–cis photoisomerization abilities, the trans PAA-b-PAzo solutions were converted...

AbstractAmphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PMMA-b-PAA) was prepared by 1,1-diphenylethene (DPE) method. Firstly, free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate was carried out with AIBN as initiator in the presence of DPE, giving a DPE-containing PMMA precursor with controlled molecular weight. tert-Butyl acrylate (tBA) was then polymerized in the presence of the PMMA precursor, and PMMA-b-PtBA diblock copolymer with controlled molecular weight was prepared. Finally, amphiphilic diblock copolymer PMMA-b-PAA was obtained by hydrolysis of PMMA-b-PtBA. The formation of PMMA-b-PAA was confirmed by 1H NMR spectrum and gel permeation chromatography. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were used to detect the self-assembly behavior of the amphiphilic diblock polymers in methanol.
