The adsorption of a series of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)poly(DL-lactide) (PEO-PL) diblock copolymers at the water/silica interface was investigated by ellipsometry and reflectometry. For all copolymers, a much higher saturation adsorption is found compared to that of the PEO homopolymers, indi

The adsorption of a series of amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(DL-lactide) (PL) at hydrophobized silica from aqueous solution was studied using time-resolved ellipsometry and reflectometry. The adsorbed amounts only display a weak dependence on the copolymer comp
## Abstract AFM imaging was used to investigate the influence of molecular structure and composition on the formation of Langmuir monolayers by arborescent PS‐__graft‐__PEO copolymers at the air/water interface. Even without compression, these molecules associate spontaneously at the air/water inte
## Abstract A supramolecular AB diblock copolymer has been prepared by the sequential self‐assembly of terpyridine end‐functionalized polymer blocks by using Ru^III^/Ru^II^ chemistry. By this synthetic strategy a hydrophobic poly(ferrocenylsilane) (PFS) was attached to a hydrophilic poly(ethylene o
Studies were performed to examine the effect of ionic salts on phase transitions, dissolution rates, and diffusion coef®cients of water in gels of poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) with polymer concentrations ranging from 22 to 32% w/w and salt concentrations rangin
