Ionic surfactants and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes spontaneously form addition complexes that precipitate from aqueous solution. Neighboring group effects, which begin to operate at very low concentrations, are important for the formation of such complexes. A highly cooperative zipper mechanism is observed, and the stoichiometry of the complexes (with respect to charge) is usually I: 1.[’-31 The properties of such complexes in nonaqueous solvents and in the solid state have, however, only recently been investigated. The poly (n-alkyltrimethylammonium styrene sulfonate) system shows highly ordered lamellar structures, which clearly adopts different phase modifications when the chain length of the alkyl groups is varied.[41 The driving force for the formation of these phases is the incompatibility between the ionic backbone and alkyl side chains, otherwise known as the amphotropy of the system.We now propose a system in which complex formation occurs at the polyacrylic acid backbone and in which steric effects prevent a parallel orientation of the n-alkyl chains and formation of the resulting layered structures. For the first time, yet more diverse phase structures can be achieved in this polymer system.
