Abstract
Telechelic associative polymers (TAPs) can form a dynamic transient network in water and have been widely used as rheological modifiers for improving solution rheological properties in many industrial fields. In this work, we designed and prepared a novel photoresponsive coumarin-functionalized telechelic associative model polymer (CouTAP), which was used to investigate the influence of light-induced dimerization of coumarin end groups on the polymer structure and solution rheological properties. The effects of light intensity, irradiation time, polymer concentration, and temperature on the transient network and rheological behavior of the CouTAP aqueous solution were studied in detail. The rheological properties of the dimerized CouTAP aqueous solution show weak temperature dependence, and the dynamics hardly depends on concentration due to the transformation of triblock to multiblock polymers. A novel transient network model composed of train loops and bridges covalently linked to train loops was propos...
