摘要:Using a combination of static and dynamic light scattering,we systematically studied the coil-to-globule and globule-to-coil transitions of a single linear poly (Nisopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) chain and the volume change of spherical PNIPAM microgels in water.We made,for the first time,the conformation change of individual homopolymer chains from a coil to a fully collapsed stable single-chain globule and confirmed the existence of the crumpled coil and the molten globule states between the random coil and the fully collapsed globular states.The study of the coil-to-globule transition kinetics rejects the previously suggested high chain-knotting density inside the globule.Our result also indicated that even in its fully collapsed state,the globule and the microgel particle still contain 66% and 70% water, respectively.The study of interaction between the PNIPAM microgel and surfactant suggested a new swelling and shinking mechanism different from the previously proposed hydrophobic interaction.Moreover,our NMR results showed,for the first time,that surfactant molecules are able to form micelles in presence of the gel network even the surfactant concentration is much lower than its critical micelle concentration.A comparison of the phase transitions of the linear chains and microgels revealed that previously observed discontinuous volume change in bulk PNIPAM gels is due to the imbalance between the bulk shear module and the internal stress originated from the inhomogeneous shrinking,which is different from the theoretically predicted discontinuous volume phase transition.

摘要:In this paper five kinds of method to calculate crystallite size and lattice distortion for the analysis of polymer X-ray diffraction line broadening were review ed. Fivekinds of method are the approximation function method, Hosemann paracrystalline structural variance analysis method, Wilson variance method, Variance-range function method and fourth central moment method. Use ways and conditions for the methods above mentioned were described in moredetail, and given some applied examples in our laboratory.

摘要:Polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes are formed by the electrostatic interaction of polyelectrolytes and oppositely charged surfactants as well as the hydrophobic interaction of surfactants in aqueous solution.The complexes may be water-soluble or water-insoluble, depending on the charge density,concentration and stoichiometric of ratio components,etc.The polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes have a variety of applications.In the paper we review the literature dealing with the aggregating process and structure of the water-soluble polyelectrolytesurfactant complex.The miscellaneous applications of fluorescence spectra to this field are also stressed in the paper.
