Block copolymer assembly to control fluid rheology
Recent experimental studies on the rheology of block copolymer micelles are reviewed. Where appropriate, we draw analogies between the viscoelastic properties of polymeric micelles and those of colloidal dispersions. We also present some important differences between these two classes of complex fluids, namely the ability to tune self-assembly through solvent polymer interactions. Finally, new ...
متن کاملRheology of Block Copolypeptide Solutions: Hydrogels with Tunable Properties
Amphiphilic block copolypeptides were prepared through transition-metal-mediated polymerization of amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides. In aqueous solution these materials form strong hydrogels at low concentrations. The self-assembly process that is responsible for gelation was investigated by measuring the rheological properties of the gels for a variety of molecular architectures: poly-L-lysineb-...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...
متن کاملRheology of Surfactant Solutions
Several surfactant molecules self-assemble in solution to form long, flexible wormlike micelles which get entangled with each other, leading to viscoelastic gel phases. We discuss our recent work on the rheology of such a gel formed in the dilute aqueous solutions of a surfactant CTAT. In the linear rheology regime, the storage modulus G(ω) and loss modulus G(ω) have been measured over a wide f...
متن کاملPreparation, Characterization and Pharmacodynamic Evaluation of Fused Dispersions of Simvastatin using PEO-PPO Block Copolymer
The solubility enhancement of poorly soluble compounds is an important task in pharmaceutical technology as it leads to better bioavailability and a more efficient application. Fused dispersions (FDs) of simvastatin (SIM) using PEO-PPO block copolymer were prepared which paved the way for the formation of an amorphous product with enhanced dissolution and bioavailability. The accumulative s...
