Abstract :
[en] There is an increasing interest in the specific physicochemical properties of gradient copolymers at interfaces. In this work, the phase behavior and interfacial properties of amphiphilic gradient copolymers at the water/CO2 interface are explored and compared to that of diblock copolymer counterparts. It is observed that spontaneous amphiphilic block-like gradient copolymers made of N,N-dimethylacrylamide, vinyl pivalate, and vinyl acetate exhibit slightly lower cloud point pressures in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) than the corresponding diblock copolymers. Much more pronounced differences are established at the water/scCO2 interface, with larger critical aggregation concentration (CAC), much faster adsorption kinetics and equilibration, and lower surface tension for gradient copolymers. RAFT/MADIX polymerization allows the control of molar mass, composition, and microstructure of the copolymers of the study. These findings shed light on how microstructural control in amphiphilic copolymers can give access to a new range of macromolecular emulsifiers for CO2 media with improved properties.
