Functional columnar liquid crystalline phases from ionic complexes of dendronized polymers and sulfate alkyl tails

Canilho, Nadia ; Kasëmi, Edis ; Schlüter, Dieter A. ; Ruokolainen, Janne ; Mezzenga, Raffaele

In: Macromolecular Symposia, 2008, vol. 270, no. 1, p. 58 - 64

We describe how cationic dendronized polymers of generations 1, and 2 and anionic monoalkyl tails can be combined by supramolecular ionic complexation into comb-like liquid crystalline polymers. The final structures in bulk of these supramolecular complexes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), cross-polarized optical microscopy (CPOM), small angle x-rays scattering (SAXS) and...

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...

Comblike liquid-crystalline polymers from ionic complexation of dendronized polymers and lipids

Canilho, Nadia ; Kasëmi, Edis ; Schlüter, Dieter A. ; Mezzenga, Raffaele

In: Macromolecules, 2007, vol. 40, no. 8, p. 2822 -2830

This work describes the self-assembly behavior, the structure, the state, and phase diagrams of comblike liquid-crystalline polymers obtained by supramolecular ionic complexation of cationic dendronized polymers (PG1-PG3) and anionic sulfonated lipid surfactants. In order to characterize the influence of both the polymer and the surfactant on the microphase separation of...
