Construction Of Interpolymer Complex SystemsThrough Non-Covalent Interactions

Due to their uniquely physical and chemical properties, interpolymer complex (IPC) formed by the non-covalent interaction between complementary polymer chains has attracted much attention in recent years. This kind of polymer materials may play a very important role in the fields of drug-delivery, supramolecular self-assembly, separation, catalysis, and so on. In this dissertation, several new complexation systems based on different non-covalent interactions have been constructed:1. Polyelectrolyte complex formed by hyperbranched poly(sulfone-amine) hydrochlorate and poly(sodium acrylate)The complexation behavior of hyperbranched poly(sulfone-amine) hydrochlorate (HPSA-HCl) and poly(sodium acrylate) (NaPA) in aqueous solution has been studied. Different from the previous observations, our experimental results show that the ill-defined HPSA-HCl can form stoichiometric polyelectrolyte complex with the linear NaPA. Interestingly,...
