abstract = {Formation of polyelectrolyte-surfactant (PE-S) complexes of
poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(methacrylic acid)
(PEO705-PMAA(476)) and N-dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPCl)
in aqueous solution was studied by static and dynamic light
scattering (SLS, DLS), small-angle neutron scattering
(SANS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and cryogenic
transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). While it was
found previously [Macromolecules 1997, 30, 3519] by
microcalorimetric titration that in a similar system
(PEO176-PMAA(186)) crystallization of aliphatic tails of
N-dodecylpyridinium bromide did not occur, in our system it
was evidenced by SAXS that upon addition of DPCl to fully
ionized PEO705-PMAA(476) the ordered arrangement of the
surfactant occurs in a certain range of PEO705-PMAA(476)
concentrations and surfactant-to-polyelectrolyte charge
molar ratio (Z). Our data suggest a four-step process in the
behavior of the PEO705-PMAA(476)/DPCl system: (I)
coexistence of loose aggregates of electrostatically bound
surfactants to PMAA block with free and almost unperturbed
copolymer coils at Z << 1, (ii) formation of aggregates
containing ill-defined cores formed by DPCl micelles
attached to coiled PMAA chains (beads-on-a-string
nanoparticles) in the range around Z = 0.5, (iii) formation
of compact core-shell nanoparticles with a core formed by
densely packed ordered (crystalline) DPCl micelles and PEO
shell starting slightly before charge equimolarity (Z = 1),
and (iv) the region of coexistence of the core shell
nanoparticles with free DPCl micelles in excess above
equimolarity (Z >> 1). In the region around Z = 0.5, the
nanoparticles with nonordered cores coexist in a mixture
either with a fraction free chains and large swollen
nanoparticles decorated by surfactant micelles (at lower Z)
or with the core shell nanoparticles (at higher Z). PE-S
complexes were characterized in detail in terms of molar
mass, size, shape, and internal structure.},
