Perfluoropolyether/poly(ethylene glycol) triblock copolymers with controllable self-assembly behaviour for highly efficient anti-bacterial materials

A series of perfluoropolyether/poly(ethylene glycol) (PFPE/PEG) triblock copolymers PEG/PFPE/PEG (P1–P3) and PFPE/PEG/PFPE (P4–P5) were prepared via thiol–ene click reaction in high yields.

Poly Ethylene

Three biodegradable amphiphilic triblock copolymers: polylactide-poly (ethylene glycol)-polylactide (PLA-PEG-PLA), poly (ε-caprolactone)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL) and poly (lactide-glycolide)-poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactide-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) were synthesized. Their chemical structures were characterized. In aqueous solution, their self-assembly and degradation were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Spherical micelles were formed in aqueous solution via self-assembly of the amphiphilic triblock copolymers. After degradation, the PLA-PEG-PLA and PCL-PEG-PCL micelles became smaller and the PLGA-PEG-PLGA micelles change to vesicles, which should mainly attribute to their different degradation speed.

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.
