This study examined the formation of aggregates between carboxylated or neutral hydrolyzed poly(vinyl alcohol) and hexadecylpyridinium chloride. The results showed that the neutral polymer exhibited a critical aggregation concentration, while the carboxylated polymer formed macroscopic aggregates through electrostatic attraction. The formation of aggregates was enthalpically favored, and hydrophobic interactions drove the process at low surfactant concentration.
The formation of aggregates between carboxylated (PVCOOH) or neutral hydrolyzed (PVOH) poly(vinyl alcohol) and hexadecylpyridinium chloride (C16PyCl) was examined by conductimetry, turbidimetry, and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) in the presence of different NaCl concentrations. The interaction between the polymers and C16PyCl in pure water showed a critical aggregation concentration (cac = 0.8 mmol L-1) only for the neutral polymer. PVCOOH interacted with the surfactant through electrostatic attraction, forming macroscopic aggregates. Integral enthalpy changes for aggregate formation (Delta Hagg) obtained from ITC curves varied from -0.61 (for the PVOH system in pure water) to -4.14 kJ mol-1 (for PVOH in the presence of 10.0 mmol L-1 NaCl), indicating that the formation of the aggregates was enthalpically favored. However, hydrophobic interactions drove the process for low surfactant concentration for both polymers. Saturation concentrations (C2) obtained from conductimetry were smaller than those from ITC, revealing that the binding of C16PyCl on the chain of the polymers at higher surfactant concentrations shows the same electric properties as that of free micelles on the solution. Increase of the ionic strength favored the aggregation and decreased the complexity of the ITC curves, suggesting that the reorganization of the surfactant monomers on the polymeric chain with the increase in their concentration was suppressed.
