EFFECT OF HEATING RATE ON THERMO-INDUCED AGGREGATION OF POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)-b-POLY(N-ISOPROPYLACRYLAMIDE) IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

Received Date: 14 July 2009
Revised Date: 1 September 2009

The effects of heating rate on the aggregate behavior of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in aqueous solutions were investigated in detail by laser light scattering and TEM. By employing two separate heating protocols, step-by-step heating at 5 K/step and one-step jump, to heat the sample from 15oC to the selected temperature, we found that the heating rate only showed significant effect on the aggregates above the cloud point. The aggregate formed by step-by-step heating exhibited a much larger size and a broader size distribution than those formed by one-step jump heating. Moreover, neither of the aggregates were ideal micellar structures as indicated by the size and the Rg/Rh values. On the contrary, at temperatures below the cloud point where the block copolymer formed core-shelled micelles, the heating rate showed negligible effect on the size and size distribution of the micelles. Since the system underwent a phase separation above the cloud point, the heating rate effect could be reasonably explained by the phase separation mechanisms: the nucleation-and-growth mechanism in the metastable region and the spinodal decomposition mechanism in the unstable region.
