摘要：

Three polymer-amphiphile complexes were prepared by combining poly(allylamine hydrochloride)(PAH) with the potassium salt of mono-,di-,and trisubstituted benzoic acid dendrons(4-octyloxybenzoic acid,3,5-dioctyloxybenzoic acid,and 3,4,5- trioctyloxybenzoic acid).The solid structure and properties were monitored with FT-IR,XRD,TG,DSC,and polarized optical microscope(POM).Difference in the tail chain number of the dendritic amphiphile induced two different mesomorphous structures: lamella for the mono-,disubstituted dendron containing complexes and hexagonal column for the trisubstituted dendron containing complexes.These corresponded to the ionic thermotropic liquid crystal SmA andΦ_h phases,respectively.This finding is significant for design of functional nanostructures based on the ionic complexation of polymers and amphiphiles.
