Self-Assembly Supramolecular Systems Based on Guanidinium Salts Modified Hyperbranched Polyamidoamine and Cationic Acrylamide Copolymers

Abstract

Herein, novel hyperbranched polyamidoamine guanidinium salts (GS-h-PAMAM) and two cationic acrylamide copolymers P(AM-DAC-ABSM) and P(AM-DAC-AMTU) were successfully prepared. Then, self-assembly supramolecular systems were synthesized by directly mixing GS-h-PAMAM with copolymers in aqueous solution, and the mechanism of the self-assembly process was speculated. FT-IR, NMR, and SEM were used for structural confirmation. Furthermore, the excellent solution properties revealed that the supramolecular systems had potential application in clay hydration inhibitors. More importantly, utilizing functionalized hyperbranched polyamidoamine in the synthesis self-assembly supramolecular systems was an effective strategy for expanding their application fields and developing new functional materials, providing a powerful reference for the next study.
