Onset of self-assembly in polymer-surfactant systems
– The onset of self-assembly in a dilute aqueous solution containing a flexible polymer and surfactant is theoretically studied. Focusing on the effect of the surfactant on polymer conformation and using a conjecture of local instability (partial collapse) of the polymer at the onset of self-assembly, we obtain several simple predictions: (i) polymer–surfactant self-assembly always starts at a ...
متن کاملLiquid crystalline period variations in self-assembled block copolypeptides-surfactant ionic complexes.
We investigate the complexation of ampholytic poly(N-isopropylacylamide)-block-poly- (L-glutamic acid)-block-poly(L-lysine) (PNiPAM-b-PLG-b-PLLys) triblock copolymers and PNiPAM-block-(PLG-co-PLLys) diblock copolymers with counter charged anionic and cationic surfactants. Both triblock and diblock copolymers are able to selectively form complexes through either L-glutamic acid-cationic surfacta...
متن کاملEffect of Carbon Nanotube and Surfactant on Processing, Mechanical, Electrical and EMI-Shielding of Epoxy Composites
Dispersing nanoparticles in a polymer matrix is intrinsically challenging due to unfavorable entropic interactions between the matrix and the nanoparticle. In this research dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrix was studied and the effect of dispersion on properties was investigated. The properties of polymer composite depend on the type, size, shape, concentration of nanoparticles, and ...
متن کاملTheory of Collapse and Overcharging of a Polyelectrolyte Microgel Induced by an Oppositely Charged Surfactant
We report on the theoretical study of interaction of ionic surfactants with oppositely charged microgel particles in dilute solutions. Two approaches are proposed. Within the first approach, the micellization of the surfactants inside the microgel is taken into account while the second model focuses on the hydrophobic interactions of the surfactant tails with the hydrophobic parts of microgel s...
متن کاملAlignment of Dispersed Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes in Viscous Polymer Flow
This research describes the effects of shear flow-induced alignment of dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes in viscous polymer solutions and the application of this alignment strategy to produce epoxy-based composites with superior mechanical properties. Previously, it was shown that the use of an anionic surfactant (i.e. sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, NaDDBS) in conjunction with a weakly...
