| Research Abstract |
We demonstrated the molecular design of solvatophilic polyelectrolytes that have both solvatophilic polymer chain and bulky and large ion-pair surrounded by solvatophilic groups. Their characteristic feature is expansion of the polymer chains largely in the suitable media due to electrostatic repulsion among the dissociated ions. So far, we revealed that the solvatophilic ion-pairs act as the strong solubilizing group against various intermolecular interactions and control their solubility and aggregation ability. We further applied them to prepare polymer brush and stimuli-sensitive polymers. Moreover, this result inspired us to create a new series of thermo-sensitive polymer systems by controlling supramolecular interactions between the polymer chain and small molecules. In conclusion, this work clearly suggested the utility of electrostatic repulsion in various media as supramolecular interaction, which should contribute to development of various functional materials.
