Upper Critical Solution Temperature (UCST) Behavior of Polystyrene-Based Polyampholytes in Aqueous Solution

TL;DR: Strong polyampholytes comprising cationic vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride (VBTAC) bearing a pendant quaternary ammonium group and anionic sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) bearinga pendant sulfonate group were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, showing a close to stoichiometrically charge-neutralized polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micelle and Surface Tension of Double-Chain Cationic Surfactants.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that the two critical concentrations for a double-chain cationic surfactant represent two different physical phenomena and the formation of surface micelles can be explained by the structural changes of the adsorption layer, corroborated by molecular simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

pH- and thermo-responsive behavior of PNIPAM star containing terminal carboxy groups in aqueous solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, a core-crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) star polymer with 17 polymer arms was prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micellar formation of cationic surfactants.

TL;DR: The experimental and modelling results confirm that micelles are formed via “ion-paring/hydration” structure, instead of the conventional “packing” concept.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upper Critical Solution Temperature Behavior of pH-Responsive Amphoteric Statistical Copolymers in Aqueous Solutions.

TL;DR: Amphoteric statistical equivalent copolymers composed of 2-vinylpyridine (2VP) and anionic sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization.
