Reentrant conformational transition of polyelectrolyte network in water alcohol mixtures in the presence of oppositely charged surfactant

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Reentrant conformational transitions are observed in polyelectrolyte networks of sodium methacrylate-acrylamide copolymers in water-alcohol mixtures in the presence of cetylpyridinium bromide. At low alcohol content, gel shrinking is induced by complex formation between charged network and oppositely charged surfactant. In media with high alcohol content the complex dissociates and the collapse comes as a result of volume interactions between charged network and the solvent. At intermediate alcohol concentration, hydrophobic interactions between hydrocarbon groups of surfactant ions are suppressed and the gel swelling is observed.
