Self-organization on multiple length scales in "hairy rod"-coil block copolymer supramolecular complexes

Hammond, Matthew R. ; Klok, Harm-Anton ; Mezzenga, Raffaele

In: Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2008, vol. 29, no. 4, p. 299-303

A peptide-synthetic hybrid block copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(L-glutamic acid), is shown to form supramolecular complexes with primary alkylamines of varying alkyl chain lengths (8 to 18 methylene units) in organic solvents via acid-base proton transfer and subsequent ionic bonding. The peptidic block being in the α-helical conformation, these materials behave as...

Thermotropic ionic liquid crystals via self-assembly of cationic hyperbranched polypeptides and anionic surfactants

Canilho, Nadia ; Scholl, Markus ; Klok, Harm-Anton ; Mezzenga, Raffaele

In: Macromolecules, 2008, vol. 40, no. 23, p. 8374 -8383

This work describes the dilute solution and solid-state structure of polyelectrolyte complexes generated from hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) and various anionic, sodium alkyl sulfate surfactants. In dilute solution, the radius of gyration (Rg) of the HBPL and HBPL-surfactant complexes was determined in the Guinier regime in good solvent conditions by means of small-angle X-ray...
