Abstract
Star poly(methacrylic acid) (Star-(PMAA)6) was prepared by hydrolysis of star poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (Star-(PtBMA)6). The self-assembly behaviors of Star-(PMAA)6 induced by surfactant hexadecyl pyridinium chloride (HDPC) were investigated. It is of great interest that rodlike aggregates with different lengths and diameters could be obtained from the complexation of Star-(PMAA)6 and HDPC by adjusting the length of the polymer arm and the ratio of [HDPC]/[carboxyl group] in the system. The self-assembly mechanisms for the formation of rodlike aggregates were discussed.
