    Abstract:
    The electrostatic complexation between lysozyme and stabilized polymeric micelles (SPMs) with a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or a mixed poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(acrylic acid) (PEO/PAA) shell (SPMs with a mixed shell, SPMMS) and a temperature-responsive poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) core was investigated by means of dynamic, static, and electrophoretic light scattering. The SPMs and different types of SPMMS used resulted from the self-assembly of PAA-PPO-PAA triblock copolymer chains, or PAA-PPO-PAA and PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer chain mixtures (with varying chain lengths and molar ratios) in aqueous solutions at pH 10 and the subsequent cross-linking of their PPO cores via loading and photo-cross-linking of pentaerythritol tetraacrylate (PETA). The solution behavior, structure and properties of the formed complexes at pH 7 and 0.01 M ionic strength, were studied as a function of the protein concentration in the solution (the concentration of the stabilized micelles was kept constant) or equivalently the ratio of the two components. The complexation process and properties of the complexes proved to be dependent on the protein concentration, while of particular interest was the effect of the structure of the shell of the SPMs on the stability/solubility of the complexes. Finally, the fluorescence and mid infrared spectroscopic investigation of the structure of the complexed protein showed that, although a small stretching of the protein molecules occurred in some cases, no protein denaturation takes place upon complexation.

    The interaction between CaCl 2 and double hydrophilic block copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide) 45- block-poly(acrylic acid) 70, PEO 45- b-PAA 70, was investigated. At a stoichiometric ratio of Ca2+:COO (-) = 0.5, Ca2+ ions were bound to COO (-) groups on PAA segments via electrostatic interaction. Small particles of 4-8 nm in diameter were observed, suggesting the formation of coil-like polymeric globule induced by charge neutralization. At Ca2+:COO (-) >or= 2.5, monodispersed aggregates of average hydrodynamic diameter of 52.0 +/- 7.4 nm were produced. The ISE, ITC, surface tension and fluorescence spectroscopic data confirmed that the formation of these aggregates is not the result of interaction between excess Ca2+ ions and the polymer, but rather it is due to changes in the water activity that triggers the structural rearrangement of Ca2+/PEO 45- b-PAA 70 complex.

    Poly(ether ester)s consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) segments, EOET copolymers, could be used as shape memory polymers (SMP). Crystalline structural characters of the copolymers during the memory process were investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimeter, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, polarizing microscopy, and recovery measurements. PEO crystals in stretched EOET copolymer preferentially oriented along fiber axis or stretch direction. During stretching, the structure of the copolymer undertake a transformation from spherulite to fiber, resulting in a crystalline morphology similar to shish-kebab, and recovery properties of stretched EOET samples were dependent on as-described crystalline structural characters that can be influenced by draw ratio. Driving forces for contraction come from the oriented chains, and only oriented or extended chains can be contributive to the recovery of deformation; these extended chains involve both crystalline and amorphous segments. The recovery process in shape memory behavior was noticed to be deorientation of oriented chains due to thermodynamic entropy effect, and was divided into three stages. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    수용액 중에서 poly (acrylic acid)(PAA)와 poly (ethylene oxide)(PEO)간의 수소결합을 통한 고분자 착체형성에 있어서 용매 및 외부조건의 변화가 미치는 영향을 모세관점도계 및 전위차계를 사용하여 조사하였다. 수용액의 pH가 낮을수록 PAA의 해리도의 감소로 인하여 착체형성이 더욱 유리하였으며, 물-알코올 혼합용매계에서는 알코올의 영향으로 착체형성의 극대점이 PAA/PEO=1 : 1에서 2 : 3으로 이동하였으며, 착체형성의 정도 또한 감소하였다. 그리고, 물에 요소 및 무기염의 첨가는 소수성상호작용 및 정전상호작용의 결과로 수소결합을 통한 착체형성에 방해요인이 되었음을 점도측정을 통한 고분자의 수력학적 크기의 변화를 통하여 확인하였다.

    Copolymers of ethylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide (E18B10, E43B9, E40B10, E90B10 , E96B18 and E184B18 , E = oxyethylene unit, B = oxybutylene unit, subscripts denote number-average chain lengths) with B blocks terminated by hydroxy groups (denoted EmBnH) were methylated to provide copolymers having the same chain length and composition but with B blocks terminated by methoxy groups (denoted EmBnM). Micelle properties of the M copolymers were determined by dynamic and static light scattering (hydrodynamic radius, association number, thermodynamic radius) and the values obtained compared with those for the H copolymers, most of which had been published previously. The results for copolymer E18B10M in solution at 40°C were consistent with the formation of worm-like micelles, the micelles of the other copolymers being spherical, including E18B10H in solution at 40°C and E18B10M in solution at 30°C. For micelles of the B18 copolymers, methylation reduced the values of all properties by ca. 10%. For micelles of the B9–B10 copolymers, the effect of methylation was to reduce the hydrodynamic radius by ca. 10%, but to increase the association number by ca. 25% and thermodynamic radius by ca. 10%. The explanation of these effects takes into account the increased hydrophobicity of the methylated B blocks, the highly stretched state of the B18 blocks in their micelles, and the probability that water will concentrate at the centre of the cores of micelles of copolymers with hydroxy-ended B blocks. For copolymers forming spherical micelles, the effect of methylation on association number is equivalent to raising the temperature of the solution by ca. 10°C. For micelles of copolymer E18B10, the effect of methylation is to lower the temperature of the sphere-to-worm transition from 40–50°C (E18B10H) to 30–40°C (E18B10M).
