Synthesis of amphiphilic polymer containing ionic pendant groups has been the goal of academic for the past several years. 1-6 Many researchers have focused on fluorescent-labeled amphiphilic polymers to correlate the microscopic, photophysical response with a macroscopic event such as self-association, phase separation, aggregation, or latex film formation. 7-12 Of particular interest is a class of amphiphilic polymers that undergo spontaneous self-organization in media mainly due to the hydrophobic associations to form various types of micelle-like nanostructures. 12, 13 Since the commercial introduction of cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs) such as Zeon’s Zeonex and Zeonor and Ticona’s Topas products, there has been increasing interest in high-performance hydrocarbon polymers obtained via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and hydrogenation, the method of choice for producing completely amorphous COCs. The chemical and electronic properties of these polymers make them potentially useful as photoresists. 14-19In this investigation, novel stable copolynorbornenes with self-assembly amphiphilic architecture containing hydrophilic ammonium salt and hydrophobic alkyl ester group were obtained by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), hydrogenation, hydrazinolysis, and subsequent quaternization. Various random copolymers with varying compositions of bicyclo [2.2. 1] hept-5-en-2-ylmethyl octanoate (NBMO) and 5-(phthalimide methyl)-bicyclo [2.2. 1] hept-2-ene (NBMPI) were synthesized to control the interaction and microstructure of aggregates via ROMP. The formation, structure, and morphologies of the aggregates will be investigated. The association of polymer molecules in water will be confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy. The size and morphologies of aggregates will be characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
