Two pH-responsive amphiphilic diblock copolymers, namely polyisobutylene-block-poly[2-（N,N- dimethylamino）ethyl methaerylate] （PIB-b-PDMAEMA） and polyisobutylene-block-poly（metharylic acid） （PIB-b-PMAA）, were ...Two pH-responsive amphiphilic diblock copolymers, namely polyisobutylene-block-poly[2-（N,N- dimethylamino）ethyl methaerylate] （PIB-b-PDMAEMA） and polyisobutylene-block-poly（metharylic acid） （PIB-b-PMAA）, were synthesized via oxyanion-initiated polymerization, and their multiple self-assembly behaviors have been studied. An exo-01efin-terminated highly reactive polyisobutylene （HRPIB） was first changed to hydroxyl-terminated PIB （PIB-OH） via hydroboration-oxidation of C =C double bond in the chain end, and then reacted with KH to yield a potassium alcoholate of PIB （PIB-O-K＋）. PIB-O-K＋ was immediately used as a macroinitiator to polymerize DMAEMA monomer, resulting in a cationic diblock copolymer PIB-b-PDMAEMA. With the similar synthesis procedure, the anionic diblock copolymer PIB-b- PMAA could be prepared via a combination of oxyanion-initiated polymerization of tert-butyl methacrylate （tBMA） and subsequent hydrolysis of tert-butyl ester groups in PtBMA block. The functional PIB and block copolymers have been fully characterized by 1H-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and gel permeation chromatography （GPC）. These samples allowed us to systematically investigate the effects of block composition on the pH responsivity and various self-assembled morphologies of the copolymers in THF/water mixed solvent. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） images revealed that these diblock copolymers containing small amount of original PIB without exo-olefin-terminated group are able to self-assemble into micelles, vesicles with different particle sizes and cylindrical aggregates, depending on various factors including block copolymer composition, solvent polarity and pH value.展开更多

The structure of star-shaped β- CD-（P（MEO2MA-co-PEGMA））21 copolymers were studied by FTIR, 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography （GPC）. The star-shaped copolymers could self-assembled into micelles in aqueous solution owing to the outer amphiphilic β-CD as a core and the hydrophilic P（MEO2MA-co-PEGMA） segments as a shell. These thermo-responsive starshaped copolymers micelles exhibited lower critical solution temperature （LCST） in water, which could be finely tuned by changing the feed ratio of MEO2MA to PEGMA. The LCST of star-shaped β-CD-（P（MEO2MA-co-PEGMA））21 copolymer micelles were increased from 35℃ to 58℃ with the increasing content of PEGMA. The results were investigated by DLS and TEM. When the temperature was higher than corresponding LCSTs, the micelles started to associate and form spherical nanoparticles. Therefore, β- CD-（P（MEO2MA-co-PEGMA））21 star-shaped copolymer micelles could be potentially applied in nano-carrier, nano-reactor, smart materials and biomedical fields.展开更多
