Block copolymer assembly to control fluid rheology
Recent experimental studies on the rheology of block copolymer micelles are reviewed. Where appropriate, we draw analogies between the viscoelastic properties of polymeric micelles and those of colloidal dispersions. We also present some important differences between these two classes of complex fluids, namely the ability to tune self-assembly through solvent polymer interactions. Finally, new ...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...
متن کاملExperimental studies of the jamming behaviour of triblock copolymer solutions and triblock copolymer-anionic surfactant mixtures.
Photon correlation spectroscopy and rheological measurements are performed to investigate the microscopic dynamics and mechanical responses of aqueous solutions of triblock copolymers and aqueous mixtures of triblock copolymers and anionic surfactants. Increasing the concentration of triblock copolymers results in a sharp increase in the magnitude of the complex moduli characterising the sample...
متن کاملOrigin of the thermoreversible fcc-bcc transition in block copolymer solutions.
The thermoreversible fcc-bcc transition in concentrated block copolymer micellar solutions is shown to be driven by decreases in the aggregation number as the solvent penetrates the core, leading to a softer intermicelle potential. Small-angle neutron scattering measurements in a dilute solution are used to quantify the temperature-dependent micellar characteristics. The observed phase boundary...
متن کاملDensity functional simulation of spontaneous formation of vesicle in block copolymer solutions.
The author carries out numerical simulations of vesicle formation based on the density functional theory for block copolymer solutions. It is shown by solving the time evolution equations for concentrations that a polymer vesicle is spontaneously formed from the homogeneous state. The vesicle formation mechanism obtained by this simulation agrees with the results of other simulations based on t...
