摘要:

为了更好地理解聚离子在不良溶剂条件下的崩溃,需要知道假设不带电荷的聚合物主链的有效电荷和溶剂质量。在本工作中,这是通过利用聚-2-乙烯基吡啶季铵化到4.3%与乙基溴。电导率和光散射测量被用来研究等折射率的溶剂/非溶剂混合物组成的1-丙醇和2-戊酮,分别在几乎恒定的介电常数的聚离子崩溃。不带电的聚离子的溶剂质量可以量化,这是第一次,允许静电相互作用的效果之前和聚离子崩溃期间的实验研究,通过比较一个新开发的理论。尽管所研究系统的曼宁参数低至$l_B/l = 0.6$($l_B$是Bjerrum长度,$l$是两个电荷之间的平均轮廓距离),即不应发生反电荷结合,对电导率数据的定性解释表明,当尺寸开始收缩到良溶剂极限以下但仍远高于$θ$时,聚离子链已经收集了其抗衡离子。维度

英文摘要:

In order to better understand the collapse of polyions in poor solvent conditions the effective charge and the solvent quality of the hypothetically uncharged polymer backbone need to be known. In the present work this is achieved by utilizing poly-2-vinylpyridine quaternized to 4.3% with ethylbromide. Conductivity and light scattering measurements were utilized to study the polyion collapse in isorefractive solvent/non-solvent mixtures consisting of 1-propanol and 2-pentanone, respectively, at nearly constant dielectric constant. The solvent quality of the uncharged polyion could be quantified which, for the first time, allowed the experimental investigation of the effect of the electrostatic interaction prior and during polyion collapse, by comparing to a newly developed theory. Although the Manning parameter for the investigated system is as low as $l_B/l = 0.6$ ($l_B$ the Bjerrum length and $l$ the mean contour distance between two charges), i.e. no counterion binding should occur, a qualitative interpretation of the conductivity data revealed that the polyion chain already collects its counter ions when the dimensions start to shrink below the good solvent limit but are still well above the $θ$-dimension.
