제목 Morphological Transition of Block Copolymer Micelle Complexesby Varying Solution pH
초록 The morphology of charged block copolymer micelle complexes, consisting of poly(styrene-b-acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) and poly(styrene-b-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) micelles, was controlled by pH of aqueous solvent. The charge densities of the corona block segments (PAA or P4VP blocks) dispersed in water were the sensitive functions of solution pH. The high pH region (pH > 6.5) is particularly interesting in the present case due to the formation of spherical micelle clusters since the degree of ionization of the P4VP blocks is almost negligible while PAA blocks are fully charged in this regime. These spherical clusters were then slowly transformed into different morphologies when the solution pH was adjusted to the range allowing both of the corona blocks to be oppositely charged. The present study demonstrates that the kinetic pathway for the formation and transformation of micelle complexes at various solution pH is significantly important for the control of packing symmetry.
