Most mixtures of polymers are unstable and form separate phases if the
chains are sufficiently mobile. Separation can be hindered by linking the
two polymers chemically or by grafting the chains to a common surface; even
so, segregation can occur over the length of the polymer chain.
Julthongpiput et al. combine these two restraints by connecting polystyrene
(PS), which is hydrophobic, and polyacrylic acid (PAA) to a common stem
that is then grafted to a silicon surface. Under dry conditions, the arms
collapse to give a generally smooth surface with intermingled chain
segments. When exposed to toluene, which solvates PS, the grafted chains
segregate locally, and the resulting grainy surface structure is proposed
to represent a cluster of local chains coming together to form a micelle
with a PAA core enveloped by PS arms. On exposure to water, the chains
reorganize, and the micelle turns inside out. As there is a higher volume
fraction of PS, the PS core is not quite covered by PAA segments, and the
chains are sufficiently mobile. Separation can be hindered by linking the
micelles take on a dimpled or cratered structure. In a nonselective
solvent, both arms should be fully extended, and this sort of surface may
be of use in assembly on nanometer-sized objects and in microfluidics. --
