众所周知，胶束结构可以在非水溶液中形成。由此得到的纳米结构，通常被称为反胶束，其特征是具有极性核和疏水性外壳。这种胶束通常是从疏水修饰的极性支化聚合物中产生的，并被评估为低分子量阴离子染料的增溶剂。从这些研究中，胶束组成和大小等关键因素已被确定为胶束行为的决定因素。本文综述了用于制备反胶束的两亲性支化聚合物的合成和表征，重点介绍了影响其与亲水性客体分子相互作用能力的因素。
It is well established that micellar structures can form in non-aqueous solutions. The resulting nanostructures, commonly referred to as ‘reverse micelles’, are characterized by a polar core and hydrophobic shell. Such micelles have typically been generated from hydrophobically-modified polar branched polymers and evaluated as solubilizing agents for low molecular-weight anionic dyes. From these studies, critical elements, such as micelle composition and size, have been identified as being determinants of micellar behavior. In this manuscript, the synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic branched polymers that have been used in the preparation of reverse micelles are reviewed, with a particular focus on the factors dictating their ability to interact with hydrophilic guest molecules.
