Abstract
Monomeric and polymeric amphiphiles were synthesized which exhibit lyotropic liquid crystalline phases in aqueous solution. The hydrophobic group of the monomeric surfactant is a dodecane-group esterified with acrylic acid. The hydrophilic unit is a monosaccharide derivative. By radical polymerization the monomer (N-D(-)-gluco-N-methyl-(12-acryloyloxy)-dodecane-l-amide) is converted into the corresponding polymeric surfactant. The monomer as well as the polymer exhibit a lyotropic 1.c. phase of lamellar structure. Owing to the polymerization the regime of the lamellar phase is greatly enlarged for the polymer, compared to the monomeric sufactant. These results confirm earlier investigations on non-ionic ethylene-glycol surfactants.
