| Abstract | Introduction Self-assembly of ionic amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solutions results in the formation of micelles, each containing a compact hydrophobic core formed by non-polar blocks and a swollen hydrophilic corona formed by polyelectrolyte blocks. Being charged, such macromolecular assemblies are naturally expected to interact with oppositely charged polyions, generating interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPECs). Although IPECs formed by oppositely charged linear polyelectrolytes were thoroughly investigated during the last decades, the interactions of micelles of ionic amphiphilic block copolymers with oppositely charged macromolecules has received only little attention both experimentally and theoretically. This paper demonstrates that this interaction can result in the formation of novel polymeric “core-shell-corona” architectures which can find promising applications as nano-containers and nano-reactors and it summarizes our recent studies on the complexation of micelles formed in aqueous solutions of polyisobutylene-block-poly(sodium methacrylate) diblock copolymers with quaternized poly(4-vinylpyridine)s. |
