ABC三嵌段共聚物胶束从多间隔结构到多核结构转变的Monte Carlo模拟

采用Monte Carlo模拟方法研究了疏水-亲水-疏水(H-P-H)型ABC三嵌段共聚物在B嵌段的选择性溶剂中的自组装行为. 模拟结果表明, 通过调节A嵌段和C嵌段的疏水性和二者之间的不相容性, 体系中可以形成多种形貌各异的胶束. 根据胶束中疏水核结构的特点, 这些胶束大体上可以被分为多核型胶束和多间隔型胶束两种类型. 通过增强疏水嵌段的疏水性或降低A嵌段和C嵌段间的不相容性, H-P-H型ABC三嵌段共聚物胶束能够发生从多核型胶束向多间隔型胶束的转变. 进一步分析胶束中聚合物的链构象等微观结构信息发现, A嵌段和C嵌段间的排斥作用和疏水作用之间存在竞争关系, 而这种竞争关系是影响体系中形成多核型胶束还是多间隔型胶束的决定性因素.     

基于“分子胶”的新型两亲性嵌段共聚物β-CD-PLA的合成及其胶束化

用固体高分辨NMR研究聚(L-丙氨酸)-聚乙二醇单甲醚双嵌段共聚物的微相结构与链段运动

利用固体高分辨¹³CCP/MAS及二维WISE核磁共振技术研究了聚(L-丙氨酸)-聚乙二醇单甲醚双嵌段共聚物(MPEG-b-PLA)在固态下的微相结构和链段运动行为.结果表明,聚乙二醇链段在形成嵌段共聚物后结晶度明显下降,同时存在晶区和非晶区,从而表现出两种不同的运动状态.而聚乙二醇链段的引入对聚L-丙氨酸链段影响不大,嵌段共聚物中聚L-丙氨酸链段高度结晶,同时含有大量的α螺旋结构,分子链运动严重受限,估计聚L-丙氨酸链段的相区尺寸很小.     

Interactions between an anticancer drug and polymeric micelles based on biodegradable polyesters

Interactions between the anticancer drug quercetin and biodegradable polyesters within micelles were investigated by DSC, WAXD, and UV analyses. For micelles based on poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (MPEG-PCL), DSC analysis indicated that the interactions were between the hydrophobic core and the drug within the micelle. For micelles based on poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(L-lactide) (MPEG-PLLA), the interactions were between the hydrophobic core and the drug and between hydrophilic segments and the drug. WAXD results indicated that no crystalline phase of the drug was found in either of the micelle types. Based on the DSC and WAXD results, two probable micelle structures were proposed. The UV spectra revealed the presence of hydrogen bonding as the main interaction between the drug and the polyesters. In vitro studies demonstrated that quercetin release from micelles was sustained and was affected by the polymer-drug interaction.     

Poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-g-poly(vinylpyrrolidone): association behavior in aqueous solution and interaction with anionic surfactants

In this work, we aimed to study the association and interaction behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers grafted with poly(vinylpyrrolidone). Critical micellization concentrations were determined using fluorescent probes (pyrene) and critical micellization temperatures characterizing temperature-dependent transitions from monomers to multimolecular micelles were measured. The thermal responsiveness of the copolymer is not affected by the grafting. The hydrodynamic radius of the graft copolymer micelles is found to be greater than that of the original copolymer micelles. The graft copolymer is found to form anisotropic aggregates. The structure of the graft copolymer micelles is less disrupted by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate, compared to the ungraft copolymer.

Poly(ϵ‐caprolactone)‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) triblock copolymers: Synthesis and self‐assembly in aqueous solutions

Nontoxic and biodegradable poly(?‐caprolactone)‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐b‐poly(?‐caprolactone) triblock copolymers were synthesized by the solution polymerization of ?‐caprolactone in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol). The chemical structure of the resulting triblock copolymer was characterized with ¹H NMR and gel permeation chromatography. In aqueous solutions of the triblock copolymers, the micellization and sol–gel‐transition behaviors were investigated. The experimental results showed that the unimer‐to‐micelle transition did occur. In a sol–gel‐transition phase diagram obtained by the vial‐tilting method, the boundary curve shifted to the left, and the gel regions expanded with the increasing molecular weight of the poly(?‐caprolactone) block. In addition, the hydrodynamic diameters of the micelles were almost independent of the investigated temperature (25–55 °C). The atomic force microscopy results showed that spherical micelles formed at the copolymer concentration of 2.5 × 10^?4 g/mL, whereas necklace‐like and worm‐like shapes were adopted when the concentration was 0.25 g/mL, which was high enough to form a gel. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular Dynamics and Organization of Micellar Complexes of Poly(acrylic acid) with Poly(ethylene glycol)-Based Surfactants

The structure and molecular dynamics of complexes of poly(acrylic acid) with dodecyl-substituted poly(ethylene glycol)s in aqueous solutions are studied by viscometry and spin probe ESR spectroscopy. It is shown that, at low surfactant concentrations, the complexes have a compact globular conformation. The local mobility of the surfactant molecules in the complexes under consideration is much lower than their mobility in free micelles. As a result of increasing surfactant concentration in solution, the hydrophilic associates of the surfactant micelles with the polyacid having an unfolded coil conformation are formed. In an associate, a significant fraction of poly(ethylene glycol) fragments incorporated into micelles is in the free state, i.e., these fragments are not bound with a polymer chain. The local mobility of the surfactant molecules in the associate is considerably higher than in the complex with a compact conformation, and this mobility grows with the increasing number of micelles involved in the associate.     

Photo-induced micellization of poly(4-pyridinemethoxymethylstyrene)-block-polystyrene using a photo-acid generator

The photo-induced micellization was attained for a poly(4-pyridinemethoxymethylstyrene)-block-polystyrene diblock copolymer using diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate, a photo-acid generator. Dynamic light scattering demonstrated that the copolymers with a 27.2-nm hydrodynamic diameter self-assembled into micelles with a 68.9-nm diameter by irradiation of a 1,4-dioxane solution of the copolymer using a high-pressure mercury lamp. The micellization was completed within 5 h based on the variation in the scattering intensity and the hydrodynamic diameter of the copolymer. It was found that the copolymer formed monodispersed spherical micelles because G₁(τ), the normalized time correlation function of the scattered field, showed a linear decay. Furthermore, the proton nuclear magnetic resonance analysis confirmed that the micelles had cores formed by the poly(4-pyridinemethoxymethylstyrene) blocks. It was suggested that the micellization occurred by electron transfer from the pyridine to the photo-acid generator in their excited states.
