We have studied the self-assembly of aqueous dispersions of amphiphilic di- and triblock copolyelectrolytes using static and dynamic light scattering. The hydrophobic blocks contained both ionisable and hydrophobic units rendering the association dynamic and thus ensuring that thermodynamic equilibrium was reached. The incorporation of ionisable units into the hydrophobic blocks caused the self-assembly to be strongly influenced by the pH and the ionic strength. As in the case of neutral block copolymers, diblock copolyelectrolytes self-assembled into star-like micelles and triblock copolyelectrolytes formed flower-like micelles. The latter was not predicted to occur for block copolyelectrolytes. At higher concentrations a system spanning network was formed. The structure of the systems could be quantitatively described by a model of purely repulsive spheres for the diblocks and attractive spheres for the triblocks. The polyelectrolyte effect expressed itself by a sensitivity of the structure to the pH and the ionic strength. The attraction increased with decreasing pH and increasing ionic strength leading at high ionic strength to phase separation.
