Abstract
Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was grafted onto Pluronic F127 (PEO-PPO-PEO) to produce novel amphiphilic PVP-g-F127 graft copolymers. A controlled synthesis method was used to graft PVP onto different parts of F127. Two types of graft polymers were obtained: one has PVP grafted onto the PEO part of F127 and the other has PVP grafted onto the PPO part of F127. The association behavior of the two modified polymers was examined using differential scanning calorimetry, surface tension measurements, and dynamic light scattering.
