Abstract

A facile preparation of novel salt responsive spherical polymer brushes (SPB) consisting of a carbon spheres core and a shell of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSSNa) was described. The SPB were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The radiusRof carbon spheres and hydrodynamic radiusRhof SPB were ca. 370 nm and 785 nm, respectively. The brushes hadMwof 393600 g/mol with polydispersityMw/Mnof 1.58. Furthermore, the dependence of PSSNa brushes on ionic strength and pH was investigated.
