Thermo-Responsive Behavior of Amphoteric Diblock Copolymers Bearing Sulfonate and Quaternary Amino Pendant Groups
Amphoteric diblock copolymers (S82A n) composed of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt) (PAMPS) with poly(3-(acrylamido)propyl trimethylammonium chloride) (PAPTAC) blocks were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization.

| Zusammenfassung: | Amphoteric diblock copolymers (S82A n) composed of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt) (PAMPS) with poly(3-(acrylamido)propyl trimethylammonium chloride) (PAPTAC) blocks were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization. Three S82A n were prepared with a fixed degree of polymerization (DP) for the PAMPS block (= 82) and different DP values for the PAPTAC blocks ( n = 37, 83, and 183). The solubility of S82A n was studied at different sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations. S82A83 precipitated in pure water due to attractive electrostatic interactions with interpolymer chains. Conversely, S82A37 and S82A183 dissolved in pure water. In pure water S82A37 dissolved as a unimer state due to electrostatic repulsion of excess anionic charges in the polymer chain. The long anionic PAMPS block segment in S82A37 covered the short cationic PAPTAC block segment within a single polymer chain. In pure water S82A183 dispersed as polyion complex micelles due to electrostatic repulsion of the cationic PAPTAC shells. The oppositely charged PAMPS and PAPTAC blocks in S82A183 formed a core, while the excess PAPTAC block formed shells. S82A n showed lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type thermo-responsive behavior at certain NaCl concentrations, and the LCST increased with the NaCl concentration. The mechanism of LCST behavior involves hydrogen bonding interactions between the pendant amide groups and water molecules |
