The topic of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for loading guest molecules is dynamic. It has been widely studied in applications including drug controlled release, smart sensing, catalysis, and modeling. In this paper, a graft copolymer (hyperbranched polystyrene)-g-poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (HBPS-g-PDMAEMA) was synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR and GPC. It was observed that the star-like HBPS-g-PDMAEMA formed aggregates in aqueous solution. The influence of polymer concentration, ionic strength and pH value on the aggregates in aqueous solution was investigated by using UV-vis spectroscopy and DLS analysis. The results showed that size of aggregates was affected by a corresponding stimulus. In addition, the loading ability of HBPS-g-PDMAEMA aggregates was investigated by using pyrene or Nile red as the model guest molecules by using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results showed that HBPS-g-PDMAEMA aggregates were capable to encapsulate small hydrophobic molecules. These newly prepared HBPS-g-PDMAEMA nanocarriers might be used in, e.g., medicine or catalysis.
用于负载客体分子的刺激响应性纳米载体这一主题是动态的。它已在包括药物控释、智能传感、催化和建模等应用中得到广泛研究。本文合成了一种接枝共聚物(超支化聚苯乙烯)-g-聚[2-(二甲氨基)乙基甲基丙烯酸酯](HBPS-g-PDMAEMA),并通过¹H NMR和GPC对其进行了表征。观察到星状的HBPS-g-PDMAEMA在水溶液中形成聚集体。通过紫外可见光谱和动态光散射分析研究了聚合物浓度、离子强度和pH值对水溶液中聚集体的影响。结果表明,聚集体的尺寸受相应刺激的影响。此外,以芘或尼罗红作为模型客体分子,通过紫外可见光谱和荧光光谱研究了HBPS-g-PDMAEMA聚集体的负载能力。结果表明,HBPS-g-PDMAEMA聚集体能够包封小的疏水分子。这些新制备的HBPS-g-PDMAEMA纳米载体可用于例如医学或催化领域。
