Rod like micellar structures in perfluorinated ionomer solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 A hexagonal packing of rod like structures is proposed in solutions and gels of a perfluorinated ionomer. The diameter of the rods has been obtained by two different approaches either geometrical from shifts of the interference peak versus concentrations in small angle scattering experiments or direct from analysis of the structure factor in diluted solutions. Consistent results give values between 18 and 31 Å for the radius of the rods, depending on the solvent. The rods have a perfluorinated core with the charges on the surface and the diameter depends on the surface tension rather than on the dielectric constant of the solvent. The structure may result from a balance between elastic and interfacial energies as it is shown by calculations. J. Phys. France 49 (1988) 2101-2109 DÉCEMBRE 1988,

Growth of linear charged micelles.
The electrostatics of micellar growth is reviewed and extended for solutions containing excess salt. In dilute solution the expansion of a linear micelle with increasing salt concentration is explained for a wide range of ionic strength. When the micellar charge density is very high, counterions condense nonuniformly onto the micellar rod. In that case the micelle may contract upon the addition...
متن کاملAmphiphilic treelike rods at interfaces: layered stems and circular aggregation.
Amphiphilic dendron-rod molecules with three hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) branches attached to a hydrophobic octa-p-phenylene rod stem were investigated for their ability to form two-dimensional micellar structures on a solid surface. A treelike shape of the molecules was reported to be a major factor in the formation of nonplanar micellar structures in solution and in the bulk state ...
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte multilayers with perfluorinated phthalocyanine selectively entrapped inside the perfluorinated nanocompartments.
A novel perfluorinated magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPcF64) was synthesized and employed to probe nanodomains in hydrophobically modified, amphiphilic cationic polyelectrolytes bearing alkyl and/or fluoroalkyl side chains. MgPcF64 was found to be solubilized exclusively in the aqueous solutions of the fluorocarbon modified polycations, occupying the perfluorinated nanocompartments provided, while...
متن کاملInterpretation of the Small-Angle X-ray Scattering from Swollen and Oriented Perfluorinated Ionomer Membranes
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and bulk volumetric measurements were performed on the perfluorinated ionomer membrane “Nafion”. The swelling experiments were conducted using controlled environments of different relative humidities. The membranes were oriented using uniaxial draw, both before and after conversion of the precursor material, as well as both sequential and simultaneous biaxial...
متن کاملDirect measurement of nanofluxes and structural relaxations of perfluorinated ionomer membranes by scanning probe microscopy
This nanorheological study addresses the water transport hindrance in perfluorinated ionomer membranes (Nafion® H+ form) in conjunction with structural relaxation properties of the polymer matrix. A low-temperature relaxation of the “dry” Nafion® matrix at 79 ◦C, about 35 ◦C below the glass transition temperature, was found to be responsible for a steady improvement of the water transport above...
