Investigation on the Effect of Water Content on the Morphology of Hyperbranched Polymer Aggregates in Solution through a Fluorescence Labeling Approach
Water content is one of crucial factors affecting the morphology of polymer aggregates in solution. In the present work
we synthesized an amphiphilic hyperbranched copolymer (DNS-PEHO-star-PEO) with a hydrophobic poly[3-ethyl-3-(hydroxymethyl) oxetane] (PEHO) core and hydrophilic poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) arms
in which the PEHO core was labelled with dansyl (DNS) fluorophore. The degree of branching (DB) of the hyperbranched polymer was around 0.4 and the molar fraction of the PEO arms was
ca
. 0.7. Through a fluorescence labeling approach coupled with transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
dynamic light scattering (DLS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry analyses
etc
.
we studied the effect of water content on the morphology of the hyperbranched polymer aggregates in solution. Interestingly
it was found that in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H
2
O mixed solvents with
<
20 vol% water content
DNS-PEHO-star-PEO self-assembled into spherical micelles with diameters of
<
20 nm
which possessed a DNS labeled PEHO core and a PEO corona; when the water content increased to
ca
. 75 vol%
the hyperbranched copolymers organized into "multi-micelle aggregates (MMAs)" with diameters in the range of 300-400 nm
which consisted of a large amount of small spherical micelles; while in pure water
the hyperbranched copolymers aggregated into micrometer-sized giant vesicles
which emitted green photoluminescence upon excitation under fluorescence microscope. The DNS-PEHO-star-PEO aggregates of different morphologies show different PL emission spectra in THF/H
2
O solutions
owing to the variation of the molecular conformation of the DNS fluorophore in the hyperbranched polymer assemblies of various morphologies. Such a unique PL feature allows the plotting of a morphological phase diagram by water content as a function of the wavelength at the PL emission maximum. The phase diagram clearly shows the effect of water content on the morphology of the PEHO-star-PEO aggregates in THF/H
2
O solutions. The fluorescence labeling approach is expected to be a powerful tool in monitoring the morphological transition of polymer aggregates in solution.
