摘要
我们基于Flory-Huggins理论,建立理论模型研究水合作用与pH调控聚电解质刷的构象转变.理论模型考虑聚电解质链与水分子间的作用(聚电解质链的水合作用)、体系中的静电作用.研究发现,随着水合作用的改变,聚电解质刷出现由溶胀到塌缩的构象转变.由此表明了水合作用可在很大程度调节聚电解质刷的相变.通过分析pH的调控效应我们还发现,在碱性环境中(pH=8),聚电解质链单体的解离度增大,静电排斥会使得聚电解质刷溶胀.由此表明,聚电解质刷内水合作用与静电效应的耦合,将会共同决定聚电解质刷的构象转变特性.理论结果深刻揭示了水合作用的改变,会使得聚电解质刷体系发生相变,pH可在很大程度上改变其相变特性.
Abstract
Based on the Flory-Huggins theory,we established a theoretical model to study the conformational transition of polyelectrolyte brushes regulated by hydration and pH.The theoretical model considers the interac-tion between polyelectrolyte chains and water molecules(hydration of polyelectrolyte chains)and electrostatic in-teractions in the system.We found that the polyelectrolyte brushes change from swelling to collapse with the change of hydration.This suggests that hydration can largely modulate the polyelectrolyte brush phase transition.By analyzing the regulation effect of pH,we also found that in an alkaline environment(pH=8),the dissocia-tion degree of the polyelectrolyte chain monomer increases,and the electrostatic repulsion will make the polyelec-trolyte brush swell.This suggests that the coupling of hydration and electrostatic effects in polyelectrolyte brushes will jointly determine the conformational transition properties of polyelectrolyte brushes.The theoretical results profoundly reveal that the change of hydration will cause the phase transition of the polyelectrolyte brush system,and the pH can change the phase transition characteristics to a large extent.
