Raman multivariate curve resolution (Raman-MCR) is applied to examine how the hydration shell around poly(,-diethylacrylamide) (PDEAM) changes upon heating, in comparison with poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), both of which undergo a clouding transition near room temperature. We report that PDEAM possesses a less-ordered and smaller hydration shell than PNIPAM. Furthermore, the PDEAM hydration-shell structure is insensitive to the occurrence of clouding, indicating the coil-globule transition and aggregation of multiple chains can be achieved without the hydration-shell structural transformation.
拉曼多元曲线分辨(Raman-MCR)用于研究聚(-二乙基丙烯酰胺)(PDEAM)在加热时如何改变其周围的水合壳,与在室温附近经历浊点转变的聚(-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAM)进行对比。我们报告 PDEAM 具有比 PNIPAM 更少有序和更小的水合壳。此外,PDEAM 水合壳结构对浊点的发生不敏感,表明无需水合壳结构转变即可实现链的卷曲-球转变和聚集。
