【摘要】 合成了苊烯(ACE)标记的聚N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺(PDEA)、N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺与N-羟甲基丙烯酰胺共聚物(P(DEA-co-NHMAA))和N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺与苯乙烯共聚物(P(DEA-co-St));利用光物理手段,如荧光强度、荧光淬灭以及荧光各向异性技术,考察了在极稀水溶液中,随着PDEA高分子链亲/疏水结构的变化,以及随着无机盐、脲和甲醇的加入导致溶剂性质的变化;系统地研究了温敏性高分子PDEA的构象变化和导致构象变化的氢键、静电相互作用、疏水缔合以及溶剂化水层的作用机理。 在极稀的PDEA/ACE水溶液中,探讨了无机盐对高分子链构象的影响。结果表明:不同无机盐对非离子型PDEA/ACE的低临界溶解温度(TLCS)的影响与Hofmeister序列相一致;随着NaCl浓度的增加,TLCS线性降低。荧光实验结果表明:当温度低于TLCS时,PDEA/ACE呈伸展的无规线团构象;当温度高于TLCS时,PDEA/ACE发生从无规线团构象到蜷曲球的转变(CGT);完成CGT以后,PDEA/ACE呈致密的蜷曲球构象;在无规线团到蜷曲球构象的转变中,存在着“熔融”的蜷曲球构象;随着NaCl浓度的增加,上述三种亚稳态的构象变得更为致密。荧光各向异性的研究结果表明:NaCl的加入,只是降低了TLCS,并没有影响CGT过程,表明静电作用仅仅改变了溶剂及溶剂化层中水合作用,并没有直接影响聚合物的构象。 在极稀的PDEA/ACE水溶液中,考察了脲对高分子链构象的影响。结果表明:脲的加入,减缓了PDEA/ACE的水溶液相变过程,但聚合物溶液的TLCS保持不变;无论高分子链处于何种构象,PDEA/ACE颗粒的平均粒径随脲含量的增加而增大,分布趋于分散,而且,链段旋转运动速度随之加快;脲使大分子链构象变得伸展和疏松,疏水相被破坏,形成了小的疏水微区,这是因为脲与水理想混合,破坏了原有的“水结构”,使聚合物更容易溶剂化,即脲对PDEA/ACE的构象转变的影响起间接作用。 考察了聚合物PDEA、P(DEA-co-NHMAA)和P(DEA-co-NHMAA)/ACE的水溶液的相分离过程。结果表明:随着共聚物中NHMAA含量的增加,大分

【Abstract】 In this thesis, three different polymers, acenaphthylene labeled poly (N,N-diethylacrylamide) (PDEA/ACE), poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-styrene) (P(DEA-co-St)) copolymers, P(N,N-diethylacrylamide-co-N-hydroxymethylacryl-amide) (P(DEA-co-NHMAA)) copolymers, were synthesized by radical solution polymerization. In dilute aqueous solutions, the effects of salts, urea and methanol on the conformation of PDEA/ACE were investigated systematically. The thermo-sensitive properties of hydrophilic or hydrophobic modified PDEA were also investigated by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques. The results are summarized as following:1. The effects of salts on the conformational behavior of PDEA/ACE were investigated in dilute aqueous solution. It has been demonstrated that the effectiveness of various salts on changing the lower critical solution temperature (7lcs) of the PDEA/ACE solution followed Hoffmeister series. The addition of NaCl linearly lowered the TLCS. In dilute aqueous solution, the PDEA/ACE adopted a loosely coil conformation below its TLCS. PDEA/ACE adopted a compact globular conformation above the temperature at which the coil to globular transition (CGT) was completed. Fluorescence anisotropy investigation suggested a molten globular conformation existed during the CGT of PDEA/ACE solution. In all the above three conformations, the PDEA/ACE was more compact in presence of NaCl than that in absence of any salt. It was demonstrated via ACE label studies that introduction of NaCl only change the TLCS of PDEA/ACE not the process of CGT.2. The effects of urea on the conformational behavior of PDEA/ACE were investigated in dilute aqueous solution. It was demonstrated that the addition of urea increased the openness of conformation and increased the segmental mobility of macromolecules of PDEA/ACE in CGT, resulted in increasing the average diameter of particles. At high temperature, the macromolecules might adopt a simple compactcoil conformation. With addition of urea, the compact coils tended to break into several sub-molecular hydrophobic microdomains, the process of CGT slowed and the ?lcs was not changed. The data did not support a model in which urea destroyed hydrogen bonds between PDEA and water by directly binding to the amide units and decreasing the hydrophobic effect. Urea formed nearly ideal mixtures with water. The results supported an "indirect mechanism" where urea altered the "structure" of water in a way that facilitated salvation of hydrocarbon chains.3. The phase transition behavior of PDEA and P(DEA-co-NHMAA) aqueous solution were studied by UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The results suggested that when the mass fraction of NHMAA was below 5.25%, the Jlcs decreased with the increase of mass fraction of NHMAA. In contrast, Tics increased with the increase of mass fraction of NHMAA while it was higher than 5.25%. Having stronger hydrogen bonds between side chains of copolymer and water, as well as between two side chains of copolymer in aqueous solution, the phase transition of P(DEA-co-NHMAA) aqueous solution showed less dependence on the concentration when compared with that of PDEA aqueous solution. For PDEA and P(DEA-co-NHMAA) aqueous solution, the abrupt transition from coil to globular and the gradual transition from globular to coil may involve different mechanisms. A model has been proposed for the structure of P(DEA-co-NHMAA) formed in dilute aqueous solution.4. In a slow heating and cooling circular, the conformational change behavior of PDEA/ACE was investigated in dilute aqueous solution. In the absence and presence of salts (urea), the UV-vis curves of transitions between globular to coil and coil to globular were not superposed. For PDEA/ACE aqueous solution, the abrupt transition from coil to globular due to hydrophobic interaction and the gradual transition from globular to coil may involve different mechanisms. The experimental results were consistent with the view of irreversible process which mainly results in entwisting between the segment of PDEA/ACE except for the stronger hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interaction.5. The effects on the conformational behavior of hydrophilic or hydrophobic modified PDEA/ACE were investigated in dilute solution as a function of solvent composition in mixed solvent of water and methanol. The results suggested that there existed the complex between water and methanol molecules in PDEA/ACE mixed solution. As the volume fraction of methanol increase, the hydrophilic modified PDEA/ACE and PDEA/ACE always adopted a loose coil conformation but the hydrophobic modified PDEA/ACE underwent transition from coil to globular. The content of methanol in mixed solvent when the transition began to take place increased with the increase of hydrophobic segments. The change of conformation of thermo-sensitivity polymer was clearly associated to the balance between the hydrophobic effect and hydrophilic effect. The "structure" of solvent around the macromolecules affected the CGT. The results also showed that the fluorescence techniques could be more suitable to study the details of polymer conformation change especially in the late transition stage. Meanwhile, the intensity of the second harmonic Reyleigh Scatter Peak could be effectively used as a new method for determining the 7lcs-
