Abstract
A non-ionic redox active surfactant, pha-ferrocenylundecyl-omega-hydro xy-oligo(ethylene oxide), exhibits high ability to form polymer comple xes with poly(acrylic acid) at a micelle forming concentration, in spi te of the low molecular weight of the oligo(ethylene oxide) site. The fraction of carboxyls associated with ether oxygens (theta) between th em has a high value (ca. 0.8) which is independent of the concentratio n of poly(acrylic acid). The complex formation seemed to be caused by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The complex formation i nfluenced on electrochemical reactions of the redox active surfactant.
