Phase Behaviors

Pluronic amphiphilic block copolymers, well known to have a phase behavior can be controlled by external conditions, have a wide range of potential for applications such as nanotemplates or nanobuilding blocks. However, the phase behaviors of Pluronic block copolymer/additive complexes with highly ordered phases have not been fully investigated. Here, we report the unusual molecular weight-dependent self-assembly of Pluronic block copolymer/additive complexes. Depending on the temperature and additive, Pluronic P65 block copolymer with a lower molecular weight showed the closed loop-like (CLL) phase behavior with the disorder-order-disorder-order phase transition in aqueous solution, whereas Pluronic P105 and P85 block copolymers with higher molecular weights underwent highly ordered continuous phase transitions with face centered cubic (FCC), hexagonal, and lamellar phases. It is expected that the specific phase behavior of the block copolymer/additive complex can be applied in optical devices such as nanotemplates or optical sensors for a highly ordered superlattice. Furthermore, this study provides a new route to control the phase behavior of the block copolymers without a complicated process.
