摘要: Abstract We report on the synthesis and self-assembly in aqueous media, of novel amphiphilic double-responsive (temperature pH) linear triblock terpolymers having chain structure poly(n-butyl acrylate-b-N-isopropylacrylamide-b-2-(dimethylamino) ethyl acrylate) (PnBA-b-PNIPAM-PDMAEA). The were synthesized by sequential RAFT polymerization molecularly characterized SEC, 1H NMR FT-IR spectroscopy. tertiary amine groups PDMAEA block quaternized converted to strong cationic polyelectrolytes. Light scattering along with electron atomic force microscopy observations, revealed that PnBA-b-PNIPAM-b-PDMAEA form micelles PnBA cores mixed coronas solutions. present tendency for intermicellar aggregation, probably a result corona-corona interactions through hydrogen bonding. Increase temperature above LCST PNIPAM results further aggregation decrease overall size polymeric aggregates, due shrinking blocks. have been found spherical lower phenomena.
