Özet

The desorption and subsequent pti-responsive behavior of selectively quaternized poly(2-(dimethylarnino)ethyl methacrylate)-block-poly(2(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMA-PDEA) films at the silica/aqueous solution interface has been characterized. The copolymer films were prepared at pH 9, where micelle-like Surface aggregates are spontaneously formed on silica. The subsequent rinse with a copolymerfree electrolyte solution adjusted to pH 9 causes partial desorption of the weakly or non-qUaternized copolymers, but negligible desorption for the highly qUaternized copolymers. Further rinsing with a pH 4 electrolyte solution results in additional desorption and extension (swelling) of the remaining adsorbed copolymer film normal to the interface. This pH-responsive behavior is reversible for two pH cycles (9-4-9-4) as monitored by both quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and also zeta potential measurements. The magnitude of the pH-responsive behavior depends on the mean degree of quaternization of the PDMA block. Moreover, a combination of contact angle data, zeta potential measurements and in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies indicates that the pH-responsive behavior is influenced not only by the number of cationic binding sites oil the adsorbed copolymer chains but also by the adsorbed layer structure.
