Interactions between the diblock copolymer S15E63 and the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) in the temperature range 10-40degreesC. At 20degreesC, the block copolymer is associated into micelles with a hydrodynamic radius of 11.6 nm, which is composed of a hydrophobic styrene oxide (S) core and a water-swollen oxypolyethylene (PEO) corona. The copolymer/surfactant system has been studied at a constant copolymer concentration of 0.25 wt% and over a wide range of surfactant concentration, from 7.5 x 10(-6) up to 0.3 M. The titration calorimetric data for SDS in the temperature range 10-20degreesC presents a first endothermic increase indicating the formation of mixed copolymer rich-surfactant micelles. From that point, important differences in the ITC plots for surfactant titrations in the presence and in the absence of the copolymer are present. A shallow second endothermic peak is assigned to the interaction between SDS molecules and copolymer molecules resulting from the beginning of micelle disruption. An exothermic peak indicates the end of this disruption where only SDS micelles attached to single copolymer monomers are present, as shown by DLS in a previous paper. At higher temperatures in the range 25-40degreesC, the first endothermic maximum is not totally shown because interactions between surfactant and block copolymer start at very low SDS concentrations. Moreover, the second endothermic peak is absent and the exothermic minimum is less pronounced as a consequence of the increased micellization of the block copolymer.
