简介:Theaggregationbehaviorandstructureofhydrophobicallymodifiedblockcopolymersofacrylamideand2-phenoxylethylacrylatewereinvestigatedbyviscometry,1HNMRrelaxation,2DNOESY,fluorescenceanddynamiclightscattering.Itwasfoundthattheaggregationbehaviorwasstronglydependentontheconcentrationofpolymersolutionandthehydrophobecontents.Withvaryingconcentrationfrom2.0,6.0,8.0to12.0g/L,thereweredifferentaggregatemorphologiesdistributedinaqueoussolutions,suchasmonopolymerchain,micelle-likeaggregate,multi-micelleaggregateandcross-linkednetwork.Accordingtothemodelofaggregation,itcangiveareasonableexplanationonthelargemagnitudeenhancementofviscositywiththeincreasingofpolymerconcentration.Additionaldataof2DNOESYandfluorescenceshowthatthecopolymerwithhigherhydrophobecontent(molarfraction≥1%)islikelytoformintra-molecularassociation.
