Composite Hydrogels Based on Bacterial Cellulose and Poly-1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole/Phosphoric Acid: Supramolecular Structure as Studied by Small Angle Scattering. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:520.

Abstract
New composite hydrogels (CH) based on bacterial cellulose (BC) and poly-1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole (PVT) doped with orthophosphoric acid (oPA), presenting interpenetrating polymeric networks (IPN), have been synthesized. The mesoscopic study of the supramolecular structure (SMS) of both native cellulose, produced by the strain Komagataeibacter rhaeticus, and the CH based on BC and containing PVT/oPA complex were carried out in a wide range of momentum transfer using ultra- and classical small-angle neutron scattering techniques. The two SMS hierarchical levels were revealed from 1.6 nm to 2.5 μm for the objects under investigation. In addition, it was shown that the native BC had a correlation peak on the small-angle scattering curves at 0.00124 Å-1, with the correlation length ξ being equal to ca. 510 nm. This motive was also retained in the IPN. The data obtained allowed the estimation of the fractal dimensions and ranges of self-similarity and gave new information about the BC mesostructure and its CH. Furthermore, we revealed them to be in coincidence with Brown's BC model, which was earlier supported by Fink's results.

Abstract
Salt-induced structural transformation of charged hybrid surfactant/polymer micelles formed by potassium oleate and poly(4-vinylpyridine) was investigated by cryo-TEM, SANS with contrast variation, DLS, and 2D NOESY. Cryo-TEM data show, that at small salt concentration beads-on-string aggregates on polymer chains are formed. KCl induces the transformation of those aggregates into rods, which is due to the screening of the electrostatic repulsion between similarly charged beads by added salt. In a certain range of salt concentration, the beads-on-string aggregates coexist with the rodlike ones. In the presence of polymer, the sphere-to-rod transition occurs at higher salt concentration than in pure surfactant system indicating that hydrophobic polymer favors the spherical packing of potassium oleate molecules. The size of micelles was estimated by DLS. The rods that are formed in the hybrid system are much shorter than those in polymer-free surfactant solution suggesting the stabilization of the semi-spherical endcaps of the rods by embedded polymer. 2D NOESY data evidence that in the spherical aggregates the polymer penetrates deep into the core, whereas in tighter packed rodlike aggregates it is located mainly at core/corona interface. According to SANS with contrast variation, inside the rodlike aggregates the polymer adopts more compact coil conformation than in the beads-on-string aggregates. Such adaptive self-assembled polymer-surfactant nanoparticles with water-insoluble polymer are very promising for various applications including drag reduction at transportation of fluids.

Abstract
Solubility and functionality of polymeric materials are essential properties determining their role in any application. In that regard, double hydrophilic copolymers (DHC) are typically constructed from two chemically dissimilar but water-soluble building blocks. During the past decades, these materials have been intensely developed and utilised as, e.g., matrices for the design of multifunctional hybrid materials, in drug carriers and gene delivery, as nanoreactors, or as sensors. This is predominantly due to almost unlimited possibilities to precisely tune DHC composition and topology, their solution behavior, e.g., stimuli-response, and potential interactions with small molecules, ions and (nanoparticle) surfaces. In this contribution we want to highlight that this class of polymers has experienced tremendous progress regarding synthesis, architectural variety, and the possibility to combine response to different stimuli within one material. Especially the implementation of DHCs as versatile building blocks in hybrid materials expanded the range of water-based applications during the last two decades, which now includes also photocatalysis, sensing, and 3D inkjet printing of hydrogels, definitely going beyond already well-established utilisation in biomedicine or as templates.

Abstract
The understanding of the deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes-surfactant mixtures onto solid surfaces presents a high interest in current days due to the recognized impact of the obtained layers on different industrial sectors and the performance of several consumer products (e.g. formulations of shampoos and hair conditioners). This results from the broad range of structures and properties that can present the mixed layers, which in most of the cases mirror the association process occurring between the polyelectrolyte chains and the oppositely charged surfactants in the bulk. Therefore, the understanding of the adsorption processes and characteristics of the adsorbed layers can be only attained from a careful examination of the self-assembly processes occurring in the solution. This review aims to contribute to the understanding of the interaction of polyelectrolyte-surfactant mixtures with solid surfaces, which is probably one of the most underexplored aspects of these type of systems. For this purpose, a comprehensive discussion on the correlations between the aggregates formed in the solutions and the deposition of the obtained complexes upon such association onto solid surfaces will be presented. This makes it necessary to take a closer look to the most important forces driving such processes.

Abstract
Polymer-surfactant mixtures are versatile chemical systems because of their ability to form a variety of complexes both in bulk solution and at surfaces. The adsorption and structure of polymer-surfactant complexes at the oil/water interface define their use surface chemistry applications. Previous studies have investigated the interactions between charged polyelectrolytes and surfactants; however, a similar level of insight into the interfacial behavior of nonionic polymers in mixed systems is lacking. The study herein uses vibrational sum frequency (VSF) spectroscopy to elucidate the molecular details of nonionic polyacrylamide (PAM) adsorption to the oil/water interface in the presence of surfactant. The polymer's adsorption and conformational structure at the interface is investigated as it interacts with cationic and anionic surfactants. Where the polymer will not adsorb to the interface on its own in solution, the presence of either cationic or anionic surfactant causes favorable adsorption of the polymer to the oil/water interface. VSF spectra indicate that the cationic surfactant interacts with PAM at the interface through charge-dipole interactions to induce conformational ordering of the polymer backbone. However, conformational ordering of polymer is not induced at the interface when anionic surfactant is present.

Abstract
Formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs) of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) bearing a fluorescent label (umbelliferone) at the chain end and poly[3,5-bis(trimethyl ammoniummethyl)-4-hydroxystyrene iodide]-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (QNPHOS-PEO) acting as a fluorescence quencher, was followed using a combination of scattering, calorimetry, microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. While scattering and microscopy measurements indicated formation of spherical core/corona nanoparticles with the core of the QNPHOS/PMAA complex and the PEO corona, fluorescence measurements showed that both static and dynamic quenching efficiency were increased in the nanoparticle stability region. As the dynamic quenching rate constant remained unchanged, the quenching enhancement was caused by the increase in the local concentration of QNPHOS segments in the microenvironment of the label. This finding implies that the local dynamics of PMAA end chains affecting the interaction of the label with QNPHOS segments was independent of both PMAA and QNPHOS chain conformations.

Abstract
The interest of polymer-surfactant systems has undergone a spectacular development in the last thirty years due to their complex behavior and their importance in different industrial sectors. The importance can be mainly associated with the rich phase behavior of these mixtures that confers a wide range of physico-chemical properties to the complexes formed by polymers and surfactants, both in bulk and at the interfaces. This latter aspect is especially relevant because of the use of their mixture for the stabilization of dispersed systems such as foams and emulsions, with an increasing interest in several fields such as cosmetic, food science or fabrication of controlled drug delivery structures. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of different aspects related to the phase behavior of these mixtures and their intriguing behavior after adsorption at the liquid/air interface. A discussion of some physical properties of the bulk is also included. The discussion clearly points out that much more work is needed for obtaining the necessary insights for designing polymer-surfactant mixtures for specific applications.

Abstract
Recent advances in genetic engineering now allow the synthesis of protein-based block corecombinamers derived from elastin-like peptide sequences with complete control of chemistry and molecular weight, thereby resulting in unique physical and biological properties. The individual blocks of the elastin-like block corecombinamers (ELbcR's) display different phase behaviors in aqueous solution, which leads to the thermally triggered self-assembly of nano-objects ranging from micelles to vesicles. Herein, the interaction of cationic surfactant dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), anionic surfactant dodecyl sodium sulfate (SDS), and nonionic surfactant octyl-β-glucopyranoside (OG) with an ELbcR has been investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS), the ζ potential and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). At 65 °C and neutral pH in aqueous solution, the ELbcR (E50A40) is associated into micelles with a diameter of 150 nm comprising a hydrophobic (A) core and a hydrophilic (E) anionic (from the glutamic acid residues) corona. The size of these self-assemblies can be controlled by adjusting the cosurfactant concentrations. Although the effects of surfactants on the self-assembly behavior of ELbcR's depend on the hydrocarbon chain length and headgroup of the surfactants, a general tendency to increase in size, which in some cases leads to flocculation and a phase-separated state, is observed. These results support the use of surfactants as a highly interesting means of controlling the self-assembly of ELbcR's in aqueous solution as well as their use in drug delivery and purification processes.

Abstract
A combination of new thermoresponsive statistical polyoxazolines, poly[(2-butyl-2-oxazoline)-stat-(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline)] [pBuOx-co-piPrOx], with different hydrophobic moieties and F127 surfactant as a template system for the creation of thermosensitive nanoparticles for radionuclide delivery has recently been tested [Pánek, Filippov, Hrubý, Rabyk, Bogomolova, Kučka & Stěpánek (2012).Macromol. Rapid Commun.33, 1683–1689]. It was shown that the presence of the thermosensitive F127 triblock copolymer in solution reduces nanoparticle size and polydispersity. This article focuses on a determination of the internal structure and solution properties of the nanoparticles in the temperature range from 288 to 312 K. Here, it is demonstrated that below the cloud point temperature (CPT) the polyoxazolines and F127 form complexes that co-exist in solution with single F127 molecules and large aggregates. When the temperature is raised above the CPT, nanoparticles composed of polyoxazolines and F127 are predominant in solution. These nanoparticles could be described by a spherical shell model. It was found that the molar weight and hydrophobicity of the polymer do not influence the size of the outer radius and only slightly change the inner radius of the nanoparticles. At the same time, molar weight and hydrophobicity did affect the process of nanoparticle formation. In conclusion, poly(2-oxazoline) molecules are fully incorporated inside of F127 micelles, and this result is very promising for the successful application of such systems in radionuclide delivery.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes (PE-S) formed by double hydrophilic cationic polyelectrolyte poly[3,5-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)-4-hydroxystyrene]-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (NPHOS-PEO) and anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in acidic aqueous solutions were studied by light scattering, SAXS, and scanning transmission electron microcopy in the environmental mode (wet-STEM) for various stoichiometric ratios between the numbers of SDS anions and dimethylaminomethyl groups of NPHOS in the complex. The obtained results show that the NPHOS-PEO/SDS system behaves differently from other systems of double hydrophilic block polyelectrolyte and oppositely charged ionic surfactant because it forms water-insoluble PE-S for compositions close to the zero net charge of the complex. This phase separation occurs, instead of the PE-S rearrangement to core-shell particles, which is hindered due to conformational rigidity of the NPHOS blocks. For the surfactant amounts below and above the precipitation region, large spherical aggregates and their clusters are present in the solution. SAXS measurements indicate that although the NPHOS-PEO/SDS system does not form the core-shell particles with the NPHOS/SDS core and the PEO shell as other PE-S of double hydrophilic polyelectrolytes, the aggregates contain domains of closely packed surfactant micelles which bind to both NPHOS polyelectrolyte blocks and PEO blocks.

Micellization of pH-stimulable poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers and their complexation with anionic surfactants. J Colloid Interface Sci 2013; 395:190-7. [PMID: 23390984 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2012.12.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2012] [Revised: 12/22/2012] [Accepted: 12/24/2012] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The micellization behavior was examined for a series of 3 pH-stimulable poly(2-vinylpyridine)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP-b-PEO) copolymers, with a constant composition of 67.5±1.5wt% PEO and increasing molecular weight. The micellar characteristics were determined by dynamic, static and electrophoretic light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as by (1)H NMR in the pH range of 2-7 and in the presence or in the absence of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). In the absence of SDS, two pH regimes were investigated. For the pH range below 5, the micellar characteristics, such as C.M.C., particle size and zeta potential, were determined. For the first time, it could be shown that the micellization range could be extended to low pH values for relatively high copolymer concentrations. Above pH 5, correlations between the molecular characteristics and the aggregation number as well as the hydrodynamic diameter were established. A fair agreement could be demonstrated with the theoretical predictions for star-like micelles having a P2VP core and a PEO corona. Another original aspect of these double hydrophilic copolymers is their complex formation by electrostatic interaction between the protonated P2VP and SDS. At low pH and low copolymer concentrations, where only protonated unimers are present, the SDS induces the micellization at a given neutralization degree (DN). The process of complex formation was analyzed as a function of DN and pH by DLS, fluorescence spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements and by (1)H NMR, this last technique providing information on the mobility of the P2VP/SDS micellar core. A model for the micelle formation mechanism was suggested.

Abstract
Supramolecular complexes involving nanoscopic amphiphilic assemblies (AAs) and polyelectrolytes have been used to prepare a variety of materials, wherein the dynamic AAs retain the structural features, but the polyelectrolytes undergo conformational changes. Here we show that a charge bearing rigid conjugated polymer can alter the structural features and disassemble AAs. We also demonstrate reversible assembly and disassembly of AAs by controlling the number of charges on the rigid polymer. During the disassembly, the guest molecules sequestered in the AAs are released. The rate of release has been modulated by changing the morphology of the charge bearing polymer. Concomitant to the AAs disassembly, the polymer surface becomes hydrophobic due to the binding of the amphiphiles on the charges of the polymer backbone. By controlling the charges on the polymer, the surface wettability was varied gradually from hydrophilic to hydrophobic.

Abstract
Mixing of polyelectrolyte solutions with solutions of oppositely charged surfactants usually leads to phase separation in a certain concentration range. However, since the charge-neutralized polyelectrolyte/surfactant nanoparticles might be utilized as versatile nanocarriers of different substances, it would be desirable to prevent their aggregation for some applications. As it was revealed in earlier investigations, the complete suppression of precipitation may be achieved only in mixtures of ionic surfactants and appropriate copolymer polyelectrolytes with nonionic and ionic blocks. In this work, we present a method that could prevent phase separation in mixtures of homopolyelectrolytes and oppositely charged surfactants. Specifically, it is shown that nonaggregating electroneutral nanocomplexes of branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can be prepared in the presence of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer Pluronic F108, provided that an adequate mixing protocol is used for preparation of the PEI/SDS/F108 mixtures.
