Formation and structure transition of the complex composed of triblock copolymer F127 and nonionic surfactant TX-100 have been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Three TX-100 concentration regions are identified, within which TX-100/20 mg/mL F127 complex undergoes different temperature-induced structure transitions. In low concentration region ( 157.57 mM), and free TX-100 micelles coexist with larger clusters of F127/TX-100 complexes. In addition, TX-100-induced F127/TX-100 complex formation and structure transition are also investigated at constant temperatures. The results show that within 5-10 degrees C, F127 unimers mainly adsorb on the surface of TX-100 micelles just like normal water soluble polymers; in the temperature region of 15-25 degrees C, TX-100 micelles prompts F127 micelle formation. Within 30-40 degrees C, TX-100 inserts into F127 micelles leading to the breakdown of F127 aggregates at higher TX-100 concentrations, and the obtained unimers thread through TX-100 micelles forming complex with TX-100 micelle as skeleton.
