Isothermal titration calorimetry and dynamic light scattering studies of interactions between gemini surfactants of different structure and Pluronic block copolymers

Characterization of triblock copolymer E67S15E67–surfactant interactions

“…3. Moreover, it has been also shown [24,25] that if electrostatic interactions between charged surfactant-copolymer mixed micelles are strong the relaxation distribution finally splits, with the mode corresponding to the copolymer-rich-surfactant mixed micelles shifting to much slower times than in the present case, together with the simultaneous appearance of a new mode corresponding to surfactant-rich-copolymer micelles at faster relaxation times, which is not the present case: The relaxation time distribution of the copolymer-rich-surfactant micelles continuously decreases to faster times as SDS concentration grows and neither splitting nor subsequent appearance of a new mode occurs, as seen for other copolymer-surfactant systems for which a reduction in micelle size is also claimed [28,29].…”

Physicochemical Investigation of the Micellar Behavior of a Diblock (PEO)62-b-(PBO)33Copolymer in Water and its Interaction with Ionic Surfactants

“…Likewise, a number of micellar parameters can also be adjusted by varying the solution composition by using co-solvent and co-solutes [22][23] . A range of experimental techniques has been applied to study the self-assembly of block copolymer in aqueous media [17,[24][25][26][27] .…”

Associative, thermodynamic and thermo-kinetics behavior of di- and triblock copolymers of oxyethylene and oxybutylene in aqueous media

“…A range of experimental techniques have been applied to study the self-assembly of block copolymer in aqueous media [18,[25][26][27][28]. Chaibundit et al [29] investigated the association process of E m B 20 E m type block copolymers using dynamic light scattering method and found that at constant temperature the micelle association number decreased while the radii increased with increase in E-block length.…”
