报告摘要: thesynthesis, characterizationandself-assemblybehaviouroftwotypesofamphiphilicblock copolymer systems are presented: the first system comprises block copolymers ofhydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol), peg,and hydrophobic, crystalline poly(caprolactone), pcl.specifically, a range ofpeg-b-pcl deblock copolymers and peg-b-pcl-b-peg triblock copolymers were prepared with comparable hydrophilic(peg) mass fractions of around 30 %.self-assembly via direct hydration yielded mixed phases of micelles (spherical and/or worm-like) and vesicles, along with larger aggregates. the membranesof the vesicles based on diblock copolymers were thicker than those based on triblock copolymers forpclblocksofcomparabledegreesofpolymerization. thisbehaviourcouldbecorrelatedwiththe restraints imposed on the crystallisation ofpcl by the peg blocks. the second system comprises triblock copolymers ofpegandamorphous, hydrophobic poly(dimethyl siloxane), pdms. these peg-b-pdms-b-peg triblock copolymers were designedsothat one peg arm is connected to the pdms block via asilylether bond that ispronetohydrolysis, whereas the other peg arm is connected to pdms through a hydrolyticallystablecarbosilane bond. the initial triblock had a hydrophilic (peg) mass fraction ofapproximately31 %, whereasfull hydrolysis ofthe silyl ether leads to a peg-b-pdmsdiblock copolymer withahydrophilic mass fraction of22 % as well as free peg. thus,slow hydrolysisfollowingdirect hydration resultedin vesicles with an average diameter of55 nm and a relatively narrowsizedistribution.theformationofsuch small vesicles is difficult to achieve byother means.
