Nous avons étudié la formation de micelles PIC de copolymères à blocs double-hydrophiles (DHBC) destinées à servir d’agents structurants pour l’élaboration de matériaux siliciques mésoporeux et fonctionnalisés. L’intérêt du mode d’assemblage par complexation de polyions (PIC) est qu’il est réversible. Les micelles se forment spontanément dans une gamme restreinte de pH et sont dissociées à l’issue de la condensation de la silice par simple changement du pH. La porosité du matériau est ainsi révélée par simple élution et non plus par calcination. Si une fraction contrôlée de l’agent structurant pouvait être préservée au sein du matériau final, il deviendrait possible de fonctionnaliser le matériau sans ajouter d’étapes supplémentaires à son procédé d’élaboration. Relever ce défi repose sur une maîtrise de la réversibilité de la formation des micelles PIC, de leur comportement lyotrope et sur la possibilité de former des micelles à couronne mixte à partir de DHBC qui diffèrent par la nature de leur séquence neutre.Au cours de ce travail, nous avons synthétisé plusieurs familles de DHBC par polymérisation radicalaire contrôlée RAFT et MADIX en phase aqueuse. La séquence polyélectrolytique des DHBC est constituée d’acide polyacrylique, tandis que la séquence neutre est constituée soit de polyacrylamide (PAM) soit de poly(oxyde d’éthylène) (POE). Les masses molaires visées ont été obtenues et sont associées une dispersité faible (RAFT) à modérée (MADIX), gage d’un bon contrôle des processus de polymérisation. Plusieurs homopolyélectrolytes cationiques, faibles et forts, ont été utilisés comme agents de micellisation (AM). Les constantes d’acidité, les taux de condensation des contre-ions et les mobilités électrophorétiques ont été déterminés, dans un premier temps, pour les polyélectrolytes dissouts séparément, puis dans les mélanges de polyélectrolytes de charge opposée, en condition de complexation. Les différences de constantes d’acidité reflètent la constante de complexation électrostatique, tandis que l’excès de conductivité des mélanges renseigne sur le nombre de sites ioniques qui participent à l’assemblage des macromolécules.Les micelles PIC sont constituées d’une dizaine à une centaine de DHBC et présentent une structure cœur-couronne de quelques nanomètres (5-15 nm). Une corrélation inverse entre la cohésion du complexe électrostatique et la taille des micelles est mise en évidence pour la première fois. Elle pourrait s’expliquer par une quantité d’eau au sein du coacervat complexe d’autant plus importante que les points d’ancrage entre macromolécules sont moins nombreux. Par ailleurs, le comportement lyotrope observé jusqu’à des fractions massiques de 60% ne présente aucune mésophase organisée. Enfin, si la formation de micelles mixtes dans les mélanges associant des DHBC de natures différentes semble avérée, la structuration interne de leur couronne, riche en POE vers le cœur et riche en PAM en périphérie, présenterait une ségrégation radiale qui n’est pas propice à une interaction forte du POE avec la silice et remet sans doute en cause l’utilisation de telles micelles mixtes comme agents structurants pour la synthèse de matériaux mésoporeux fonctionnalisés. Cependant, des alternatives sont envisageables. / Double-Hydrophilic Block Copolymer (DHBC) based PIC micelles were studied for their suitability as structuring agents for the synthesis of functionalized mesoporous silica materials. Assembling micelles through polyions complexation (PIC) is interesting because it is reversible and restricted to a limited range of pH when weak polyelectrolytes are used. Once silica condensation has proceeded, micelles can be disassembled by changing the pH. In this way, the porosity of the material is revealed by elution rather than calcination. If a controlled fraction of the structuring agent could be maintained within the final material, this would open the road to one pot synthesis of functionalized mesoporous materials. Addressing this challenge relies on a good control over the reversibility of the assembling process of the micelles, over their lyotropic behavior and on the possibility to form corona-mixed micelles from two DHBC carrying different neutral blocks.Several series of DHBC were synthetized by controlled radical polymerization in aqueous phase, either by RAFT for poly(ethylene oxide)-based DHBC, or by MADIX for polyacrylamide-based DHBC. The polyelectrolyte block is polyacrylic acid. The targeted molar masses were achieved and low (RAFT) to medium (MADIX) dispersity were obtained testifying a good control over the polymerization process. Various cationic homopolyelectrolytes, either weak or strong, were used as micellization agents (MA). Acidity constants, condensation ratios and electrophoretic mobilities were determined, first for each polyelectrolyte by its own, and then mixed with its MA in suitable conditions for micellization. Change of the apparent acidity constant reflects equilibrium constant of electrostatic complexation, while excess of conductivity reveals the number of ionic sites that are involved in the complexation of both macromolecules.PIC micelles are few nanometers large (4-15 nm) and gather from ten to one hundred DHBC molecules. They show the typical core-corona structure of polymer self-assemblies. An inverse correlation between the size and the cohesion of the complex is evidenced for the first time. It could be explained by the amount of water inside the micelle coacervate core that should increase when the number of anchoring sites between the oppositely charged macromolecules decreases. Up to a weight fraction of 60 wt% , the PIC micelles do not show any lyotropic mesophases. Finally, mixed PIC micelles certainly form when different DHBC are mixed with an MA, however, the corona looks richer in PEO the closer to the core and richer in PAM at the external rim. Such radial segregation of the corona block is not suitable to ensure enough interaction of PEO with silica and could preclude the use of such mixed micelles as structuring agent for the one pot synthesis of functionalized mesoporous materials. Alternatives are proposed.
