Abstract: A series of novel symmetric amphiphilic silicon-containing polymers (PEMA-b-Si- PEG-Si-b-PEMA) were prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP),which was achieved by the polymerization of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) with dimethylchlorosilane-terminated allyl-substituted poly(ethylene glycol).The DPNMR was 0.74,1.67 and 3.07 as controlled by the reaction temperature.The interfacial activity and adsorption behavior of the polymers at chloroform-water interface were evaluated.The results show that the polymers can effectively reduce the chloroform-water interfacial tension,and the polymer with the shortest PEMA chain can reduce the chloroform-water interfacial tension from 32 mN/m to approximately 23 mN/m.The analysis of dynamic interfacial tension indicates that the adsorption at the initial stage is diffusion-controlled at lower concentrations of the polymer,and the shorter PEMA chain facilitates a faster diffusion rate.Equilibrium adsorption analysis reveals that the polymer exhibits various adsorption states as the interface coverage is increased,and the number of adsorption states and the range of partial molar area increase with the increase of PEMA chain length.

Key words: amphiphilic, interfacial tension, synthesis
