Colloidal gel from amphiphilic heteroarm polyelectrolyte stars in aqueous media
چکیده انگلیسی

We report on the gelation capability of polystyrene/poly(2-vinyl pyridine) amphiphilic heteroarm polyelectrolyte stars in acidic salt-free aqueous media. The star polymers associate through hydrophobic interactions, by retraction of the stretched arms under no interdigitation conditions, in the dilute regime forming colloidal soft nanoparticles comprising about 6 stars, At concentrations significantly higher than the hydrodynamic overlap concentration (c > 40c∗), the crowding of the colloidal nanoparticles drives a jamming transition, leading to a colloidal gel. The intermediate overlap regime (c∗ < c < 40c∗) is characterized by a significant compaction of the polyelectrolyte entities prior interdigitation and jamming.
