Microphase separation in double networks comprised of polymer and micellar chains
Aim of the experiment is to investigate the structure of the novel systems - double interpenetrating networks of polymer chains and wormlike surfactant micelles. Surfactant molecules can self-assemble and form long wormlike micelles. They can form an entangled network what imparts viscoelastic properties to solutions. These properties can be greatly enhanced if polymer chains are introduced. Polymer molecules can be cross-linked by dynamic bonds and form a second independent network, inside of which a first network of wormlike micelles remains. Such systems combine high mechanical properties superior to the properties of the components, and high responsiveness to external factors (e.g., addition of oil or change of pH) due to labile character of bonds in all two networks. The project is aimed at studying microphase separated structure of double polymer-micellar networks, consisting in the formation of micellar-rich or polymer-rich domains of several hundreds of nanometers. Size and shape of such domains can be elucidated only by ultra-low q SANS, accessible at the D11 instrument.
