Responses of assembled structures of block polyelectrolytes to electrostatic interaction strength
© 2024 Author(s). Published under an exclusive license by AIP Publishing..
In this paper, the responses of assembled behaviors of block polyelectrolytes (PEs) to the strength of electrostatic interactions are studied through molecular dynamic simulations. The results show that the assembled structures closely depend on the electrostatic strength. It should be noted that PE coacervation can outweigh the nucleation of hydrophobic blocks and invert the micelle structures at strong electrostatic strengths, leading to the formation of inverted micelles of PE cores and hydrophobic coronas. In the poor solvent condition for neutral block, diverse anisotropic micelles are presented; candy-like conventional micelles of hydrophobic cores and PE patches coexist with inverted candy-like micelles of PE cores and hydrophobic patches and with Janus micelles of semi-neutral aggregate and semi-PE cluster in the presence of divalent and trivalent counterions. The formation of conventional or inverted micelle is largely determined by the type of micellar fusion, which results from the nucleation competition between electrostatic correlation and hydrophobic interaction. The merge of micelles mediated by hydrophobic attraction leads to conventional hydrophobic cores, and the fusion induced by electrostatic correlations results in PE cores micelles. At strong electrostatic strengths, the PE chains exhibit rich conformations at trivalent counterions, ranging from a fully collapsed state to a rod-like state, and parallel alignment of PE chains is found.
