Complexation Of Ionomers And Surfactant Molecules Of The Same Charge In A Nonpolar Solvent, William Macknight, Kirill N. Bakeev, Sergey A. Chugunov, Iwao Teraoka, Alexander B. Zezin, Victor A. Kabanov Dec 1993

Complexation Of Ionomers And Surfactant Molecules Of The Same Charge In A Nonpolar Solvent, William Macknight, Kirill N. Bakeev, Sergey A. Chugunov, Iwao Teraoka, Alexander B. Zezin, Victor A. Kabanov

Complexation between sulfonated polystyrene ionomers and bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate
sodium salt (aerosol OT, AOT) surfactant molecules in m-xylene was studied by ultracentrifugation, vapor
pressure osmometry, viscometry, and dynamic light scattering. When the dilute ionomer solution is mixed
with the AOT soluti6n, complexation takes place for both the slightly aggregated state of AOT and reversed
micelles of AOT containing water. In the presence of excess AOT molecules, some of the AOT are free from
the ionomers, and there are well-defined limiting compositions for complexes of the ionomer and AOT and
for those of the ionomer and AOT micelles. The limiting composition depends …
