Self-Assembled Complexes Of Synthetic Polypeptides And Oppositely Charged Low Molecular Weight Surfactants. Solid-State Properties, William Macknight, Ekaterina A. Ponomarenko, Alan J. Waddon, Kirill N. Bakeev, David A. Tirrell

William MacKnight

Solid-state properties of the stoichiometric complexes formed by sodium poly(a,L-glutamate)
and oppositely charged low molecular weight surfactants (alkyltrimethylammonium bromides) were
examined by circular dichroism, infrared, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The polypeptide chains in
the complexes were shown to be predominantly in the a-helical conformation at room temperature. At
higher temperatures, weakening or disruption of intramolecular hydrogen bonds stabilizing the a-helical
conformation was observed. The polypeptide-surfactant complexes were shown to adopt lamellar
structures in the temperature range 20-150 °C. The lamellae consist of alternating layers of
polyglutamate chains and bimolecular layers of surfactant, with the surfactant alkyl chains aligned
perpendicular to …

Blends Of Amorphous-Crystalline Block Copolymers With Amorphous Homopolymers. Morphological Studies By Electron Microscopy And Small Angle Scattering, William Macknight, Kazuo Sakurai, David J. Lohse, Donald N. Schulz, J.A. Sissano, Jar-Shyoung Lin, Mikhail Agamalyan Dec 1995

Blends Of Amorphous-Crystalline Block Copolymers With Amorphous Homopolymers. Morphological Studies By Electron Microscopy And Small Angle Scattering, William Macknight, Kazuo Sakurai, David J. Lohse, Donald N. Schulz, J.A. Sissano, Jar-Shyoung Lin, Mikhail Agamalyan

William MacKnight

A morphological study was performed with symmetric diblock ethylene-propylene copolymer (DEP) and
the binary blends made from DEP and atactic polypropylene (APP) by use of small angle X-ray, light
and neutron scattering, and also scanning and transmission electron microscopy. DEP contains
a crystallizable polyethylene block and an amorphous atactic polypropylene block. Quenching the blends
in liquid nitrogen preserved the morphology in the melt state. This quenching technique revealed that DEP
forms a lamellar microdomain structure and blending DEP and APP includes morphological changes in the
microdomain structures as well as macrophase separation. When the APP chain was shorter than the …
