“…Due to their unique self-assembly properties, amphiphilic polymers constitute valuable specialty products, yielding nanocarriers for biomedical purposes, engineered surfaces as well as viscosity modifiers for various applications. The aggregate morphologies of non-charged copolymers are controlled by thermodynamic equilibrium: a balance between interfacial tension and chain stretching energies [1]. On the other hand, charged amphiphilic polymers, i.e., hydrophobically functionalized polyelectrolytes (HF-PEs), may be divided into two general groups: amphiphilic polyelectrolytes with ionizable groups, separated by hydrophobic units (like hexamethylene), comprising alternating hydrophilic/hydrophobic linear structures [2] (diblock copolymers with hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks being a special case) and hydrophobically modified polyelectrolytes composed of polyelectrolyte (PE) backbone with hydrophobic side groups, such as shorter or longer alkyl chains, aromatic rings, etc.…”
