| Abstract | The influence of adding poly(acrylic acids) of two different chain lengths (PAA25 and PAA6000) on the phase behaviour of the amphiphilic triblock copolymer Pluronic® P104 (P104 = (EO)27(PO)61(EO)27, where EO = ethylene oxide, PO = propylene oxide) in H2O was investigated. The resulting phase equilibria and structures were investigated by visual inspection, using crossed polarizers, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). At low and intermediate P104 concentrations an associative phase separation was found, where a concentrated phase separated out from a dilute one on adding PAA. The corresponding phase separation region appeared in the phase diagram as a closed, droplet-shaped miscibility gap that was significantly larger for the longer PAA. Neither of the coexisting phases contained any long-range ordered structures. At higher concentrations of P104 (above ca. 25 wt%) no miscibility gap appeared but, remarkably, the various ordered liquid crystalline phases observed in binary P104/H2O mixtures were eventually destroyed upon the replacement of H2O by PAA. A similar effect was found when propionic acid (PrA), corresponding to the repeating unit of the PAA chain, was added to aqueous P104. A decrease in the PAA length, in the series PAA6000 - PAA25 - PrA, increased the efficiency to destroy the structured phases. NMR self-diffusion measurements showed that the self-assembled P104 aggregates dissolved on replacing water with PrA. The same mechanism was found to be responsible for the effect of added PAA, that is, PAA (or PrA) acts as less selective “solvent” for the PEO and PPO blocks compared to water. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
