AbstractNafion, an ionomer composed of perfluorocarbon backbone and vinyl ether side chains terminated with -SO3 - groups, has dual solubility parameters, i.e. δ1= 9.7 (cal/cm3)1/2 relating to perfluorocarbon backbones and δ2 = 17.3 (cal/cm3)1/2 relating to sulfonated vinyl ether side chains. It had been reported that Nafion molecules aggregated in dilute and semi-dilute water and alcohol solutions. In this study, we report static light scattering (SLS) measurements of dilute Nafion in N,N’- dimethyl formamide (DMF, solubility parameter δ =12.2 (cal/cm3)1/2, dielectric constant ε=36.7) and N,N’-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc, δ =10.8 (cal/cm3)1/2, ε=37.8) solutions with Nafion concentrations ranging from 0.2 mg/ml to 1.0 mg/ml. The DMF and DMAc solvents have δ closing to δ1 of Nafion perfluorocarbon backbones and ε much lower than water (ε =78). Thus DMF and DMAc are compatible with Nafion perfluorocarbon and few Nafion molecules aggregate in DMF and DMAc solvents when [Nafion]< 1.0 mg/ml. The lower ε of DMF and DMAc led to low polyelectrolyte effect of Nafion in these two solvents. The obtained Mws of present work were in good agreement with the Mw obtained from Nafion in dilute dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, δ =12.0 (cal/cm3)1/2, ε=46.6) solutions, reported by Lousenberg, using size exclusion chromatography incorporating static light scattering detection. The <RG> data obtained from SLS measurements were compared with the particles sizes of transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations of freeze dried Nafion thin films prepared on copper grids with 0.6 mg/ml Nafion solutions. Comparable results were obtained from these two observations.

(Meth)acrylic terpolymers carrying siloxane (Si), fluoroalkyl (F) and ethoxylated (EG) side chains were synthesized with comparable molar compositions and different lengths of the Si and EG side chains, while the length of the fluorinated side chain was kept constant. Such terpolymers were used as surface-active modifiers of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based films with a loading of 4 wt%. The surface chemical compositions of both the films and the pristine terpolymers were determined by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AR-XPS) at different photoemission angles. The terpolymer was effectively segregated to the polymer−air interface of the films independent of the length of the constituent side chains. However, the specific details of the film surface modification depended upon the chemical structure of the terpolymer itself. The exceptionally high enrichment in F chains at the surface caused the accumulation of EG chains at the surface as well. The response of the films to the water environment was also proven to strictly depend on the type of terpolymer contained. While terpolymers with shorter EG chains appeared not to be affected by immersion in water for seven days, those containing longer EG chains underwent a massive surface reconstruction.

The polysaccharide from gum asafoetida contains D-galactose, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose, 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid, and D-glucuronic acid. It is a highly branched polymer which contains a backbone of D-galactopyranose residues which are very probably mainly 1,3-β-linked.The side chains consist of residues of L-arabinofuranose, D-galactopyranose, D-glucuronic acid, and its 4-O-methyl ether.
