Comicellization of polystyrene-block-poly(acrylic acid) with low-molar-mass surfactants
Paloncýová, Markéta ; Štěpánek, Miroslav (advisor) ; Matějíček, Pavel (referee)
This B.Sc. thesis deals with the study of the effect of low-molar-mass ionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hexydecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) on association behavior of the block copolymer polystyrene-b-polyacrylic acid (PS-b-PAA) in alkaline aqueous solutions. Prepared polymeric nanoparticles were characterized by static and dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. It was found that both surfactants interact only with PAA blocks and their presence in the system leads to worsening of the copolymer solubility which manifests itself in the formation of large micellar aggregates and in precipitation of the copolymer-surfactant complexes.
