Micellization of telechelic associative polymers: Self-consistent field modeling and comparison with scaling concepts

Article Abstract:

Numerical results from self-consistent field calculations on the micellization of telechelic associate polymers and their non-functional analogues are presented. The results are confronted with simple scaling concepts and it is found that there is a good agreement between the numerical dependence of the aggregation number upon both backbone and terminal hydrophobe length.

Effect of the ionic strength on the structure of polymer-surfactant complexes

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to examine the influence of ionic strength on the interaction between a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride and a water-soluble nonionic polymer, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis indicate a broad size distribution that corresponds to a widely polydisperse mixture of multichain clusters.
