Water Solutions of Amphiphilic Polymers: Nanostructure Formation and Possibilities for Catalysis

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Conformation-Dependent Design of Sequences in Copolymers I

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 195))

Abstract

A concept of amphiphilicity in application to monomer units of water-soluble polymers is presented. Molecular simulation and experimental studies of polymers consisting of amphiphilic monomers units are reviewed. Those polymers reveal unusual conformational behavior in aqueous solutions forming nanostructures of nonspherical shape. Self-association of amphiphilic thermosensitive polymers in water solutions is discussed. Possibilities for the use of thermosensitive copolymers as catalysts are described. The sharp water--organic boundaries formed by polymer associates in water solutions are shown to be a prospective medium for catalysis owing to adsorption of interfacially active substrates at the interface.
