On the feasibility of using sodium octyl sulfate micelles for template polymerization of a cationic monomer

Spin probe EPR spectroscopy has been employed to study the effect of a cationic monomer, trimethyl(methacryloxyethyl)ammonium methyl sulfate, on the formation, local structure, and dynamics of sodium octyl sulfate micelles in aqueous solutions. It has been established that the monomer does not affec...

Description
Summary:Spin probe EPR spectroscopy has been employed to study the effect of a cationic monomer, trimethyl(methacryloxyethyl)ammonium methyl sulfate, on the formation, local structure, and dynamics of sodium octyl sulfate micelles in aqueous solutions. It has been established that the monomer does not affect significantly the parameters of probe rotation in micelles of this surfactant, thereby indicating a weak interaction between the studied monomer and surfactant micelles. The absence of a template effect upon monomer polymerization in micellar sodium octyl sulfate solutions, which has been confirmed by unchanged molecular-mass characteristics of obtained polymers, indicates that it is inefficient to use sodium octyl sulfate micelles as a template for radical polymerization of cationic monomers in aqueous media, in contrast to sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles studied previously.
