Abstract

Amphiphilic polymer of N-benzyl-N-hexylacrylamide terpolymer were synthesized using free radical micellar polymerization method. Apparent viscosity, fluorescent probe and DLS was employed to study the aggregation behavior of P(AM-NaA-BHAM). The critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of P(AM-NaA-BHAM) is about 800 mg/L. Above CAC, aggregation formed by intermolecular association of hydrophobic groups can induce large quantities of hydrophobic microdomains. Below CAC, P(AM-NaA-BHAM) in the solution has only one kind of hydrodynamic radius of about 100 nm which is the hydrodynamic radius of intra-molecular association. Above CAC, there are two kinds of hydrodynamic radius of about 100 nm and 1000 nm, respectively. The 1000 nm is the hydrodynamic radius of inter-molecular association. As polymer concentration increased, more and more intra-molecular hydrophobic association turned into inter-molecular association.
