Hysteresis Behaviour

To reduce the environmental burden of polymer processing, the use of non-toxic solvents is desirable. In this regard, the improved solubility of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in ethanol/water solvent mixtures is very appealing. In this contribution, detailed investigations on the solubility of PMMA in alcohol/water solvent mixtures are reported based on turbidimetry measurements. PMMA revealed upper critical solution temperature transitions in pure ethanol and ethanol/water mixtures. However, around 80 wt-% ethanol content a solubility maximum was observed for PMMA as indicated by a decrease in the transition temperature. Moreover, the transition temperatures increased with increasing PMMA molar mass as well as increasing polymer concentration. Careful analysis of both heating and cooling turbidity curves revealed a peculiar hysteresis behaviour with a higher precipitation temperature compared with dissolution with less than 60 wt-% or more than 90 wt-% ethanol in water and a reverse hysteresis behaviour at intermediate ethanol fractions. Finally, the transfer of poly(styrene)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymer micelles from the optimal solvent, i.e. aqueous 80 wt-% ethanol, to almost pure water and ethanol is demonstrated.
