Abstract This study introduces a temperature-responsive attractive nanoemulsion (ANE) system, which is characterized by the polymer chain conformation-driven dipolar interaction across different oil droplets in an aqueous medium. To achieve this, highly stable ANEs were produced by co-assembly of amphiphilic triblock copolymers (ATCs), poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(e-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PCL-b-PEO), with lecithin at the oil-water interface. The dipolar attraction of the methoxy terminated-PEO (mPEO) of ATCs on one drop surface with the lecithin head located on the other drop surface led to the drop-to-drop association. We showed that the efficiency of this interdrop association was dominantly influenced by the chain conformation of mPEO blocks. From dense suspension rheology studies, it was demonstrated that the ANEs formed a gel-like phase below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the mPEO, but transformed to a liquid-like phase above the LCST, which occurred reversibly, thus enabling the development of temperature-responsive emulsion fluids.

凝聚的有吸引力的纳米乳液的温度响应互滴结合

摘要 本研究介绍了一种温度响应吸引纳米乳液 (ANE) 系统，其特点是聚合物链构象驱动的偶极相互作用在水性介质中的不同油滴之间发生。为了实现这一目标，通过两亲性三嵌段共聚物（ATC）、聚（环氧乙烷）-b-聚（ε-己内酯）-b-聚（环氧乙烷）（PEO-b-PCL- b-PEO)，在油-水界面具有卵磷脂。一个液滴表面上的 ATC 的甲氧基封端的 PEO (mPEO) 与位于另一个液滴表面上的卵磷脂头的偶极吸引力导致了液滴之间的关联。我们表明，这种互点关联的效率主要受 mPEO 块的链构象影响。从致密悬浮流变学研究中，
