SELF-ASSEMBLY NETWORKS OF P(DTAB-co-AM) AND WORMLIKE MICELLES MEDIATED BY HYDROPHOBIC ASSOCIATION AND ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTIONS
The synergistic enhanced viscosity of self-assembly networks of wormlike micelles and cationic hydrophobically associative copolymer P(DTAB-co-AM) synthesized by copolymerization of cationic hydrophobic monomer
could form self-assembly system with synergistic enhanced viscosity because both of hydrophobic association and electrostatic interactions play an important role.But the viscosity enhancement of the associative system composed of the copolymer P(DTAB-co-AM) and cationic wormlike micelles
CTAC/sodium salicylate
was weaker than that of the former because of the single hydrophobic association interaction.The results of the viscosity experiments show the viscosity of the self-assembly system made up of P(DTAB-co-AM) and anionic wormlike micelles first increased
then decreased with the increase of feed content of hydrophobic monomer in copolymer.When the feed content of DTAB in P(DTAB-co-AM) was 0.15 mol%
the viscosity of association system reached the maximum.When the feed content of DTAB was 0.3 mol%
the viscosity of this self-assembly system was lower than that of the system formed by this copolymer and cationic wormlike micelles because of more strong electrostatic interaction leading to phase separation.In contrast
the viscosity of the system self-assembled by this copolymer and cationic wormlike micelles appear a slight decrease with the increase of the DTAB content because hydrophobic association and electrostatic repulsion offset each other.Based on the above discussions
the aim to mediate the viscosity of self-assembly system by the feed content of hydrophobic monomer can be realized.
