In Situ X-ray Polymerization: From Swollen Lamellae to Polymer-Surfactant Complexes

Agzenai, Y ; Lindman, Björn LU ; Alfredsson, Viveka LU ; Topgaard, Daniel LU ; Renamyor, C.S. and Pacios, I. E. (2014) In The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part B 118(4). p.1159-1167
Abstract
The influence of the monomer diallyldimethylammonium chloride (D) on the lamellar liquid crystal formed by the anionic surfactant aerosol OT (AOT) and water is investigated, determining the lamellar spacings by SAXS and the quadrupolar splittings by deuterium NMR, as a function of the D or AOT concentrations. The cationic monomer D induces a destabilization of the AOT lamellar structure such that, at a critical concentration higher than 5 wt %, macroscopic phase separation takes place. When the monomer, which is dissolved in the AOT lamellae, is polymerized in situ by X-ray initiation, a new collapsed lamellar phase appears, corresponding to the complexation of the surfactant with the resulting polymer. A theoretical model is employed to... (More)
