The concept of a self-incompatible solvent is introduced as a molecule composed of two parts (compound 1 and 2) with unfavourable interactions. A third compound will be readily dissolved in this solvent to diminish this unfavourable interaction by dilution. The more incompatible compounds 1 and 2 are, the stronger this behaviour is expected to be. In this work, ionic liquids comprising non-polar carbon chain and polar ionic group are chosen to serve as a model of self-incompatible solvent. The interactions parameters k of the ionic liquids with active ingredients are investigated to examine the effect of self-incompatibility of the ionic liquid molecule.
On the other hand, phase separation between compounds 1 and 2 will reduce the positive effect of self-incompatibility. The tendency of phase separation is increasing with increasing size of the two compounds. Thus, if compounds 1 and 2 are blocks tied together into a block copolymer, one expects a decreasing ability of the block copolymer to dissolve an active ingredient with increasing block length. In this work the ability of polybutadiene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PB-b-P2VP) block copolymers to dissolve the model compound anthracene is investigated. As expected, the solubility indeed decreases with increasing block length.
