Controlling the melting of kinetically frozen poly(butyl acrylate-b-acrylic acid) micelles via addition of surfactant

We have studied the melting of polymeric amphiphilic micelles induced by small-molecule surfactant and explained the results by experimental determination of the interfacial tension between the core of the micelles and the surfactant solutions.

520 |a We have studied the melting of polymeric amphiphilic micelles induced by small-molecule surfactant and explained the results by experimental determination of the interfacial tension between the core of the micelles and the surfactant solutions. Poly(n-butyl acrylate-b-acrylic acid) (PBA-b-PAA) amphiphilic diblock copolymers form kinetically frozen micelles in aqueous solutions. Strong interactions with surfactants, either neutral or anionic [C12E6, C6E4, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)], were revealed by critical micelle concentration (cmc) shifts in specific electrode and surface tension measurements. Since both polymer and surfactant are either neutral or bear negative charges, the attractive interactions are not due to electrostatic interactions. Light scattering, neutron scattering, and capillary electrophoresis experiments showed important structural changes in mixed PBA-b-PAA/surfactant systems. Kinetically frozen micelles of PBA-b-PAA, that are hardly perturbed by concentration, ionization, ionic strength, and temperature stresses, can be disintegrated by addition of small-molecule surfactants. The interfacial energy of the PBA in surfactant solutions was measured by drop shape analysis with h-PBA homopolymer drops immersed in small-molecule surfactant solutions. The PBA/water interfacial energy gammaPBA/H2O of 20 mN/m induces a high energy cost for the extraction of unimers from micelles so that PBA-b-PAA micelles are kinetically frozen. Small-molecule surfactants can reduce the interfacial energy gammaPBA/solution to 5 mN/m. This induces a shift of the micelle-unimer equilibrium toward unimers and leads, in some cases, to the apparent disintegration of PBA-b-PAA micelles. Before total disintegration, polymer/surfactant mixtures are dispersions of polydisperse mixed micelles. Based on core interfacial energy arguments, the disintegration of kinetically frozen polymeric micelles was interpreted by gradual fractionation of objects (polydisperse dispersion mechanism), whereas the disintegration of polymeric micelles in a thermodynamically stable state was interpreted by an exchange between a population of large polymer-rich micelles and a population of small surfactant-rich micelles (bidisperse dispersion mechanism). Finally, in our system and other systems from the literature, interfacial energy arguments could explain why the disintegration of polymer micelles is either partial or total as a function of the surfactant type and concentration and the hydrophobic block molar mass of the polymer
