Аннотация:The results of studying the interaction of iogenic surfactant micelles with oppositelycharged monomers using spin probe ESR spectroscopy were generalized to assess a possibilityof using surfactant micelles as a template for radical polymerization. The electrostaticinteraction of monomer ions with the studied surfactants was shown to lead toa decrease in the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant. The chemical nature ofthe monomer exerts a signifi cant eff ect on its localization on the micelles. Quaternary saltsof dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate are sorbed on the micelle surface, and high concentrationsof the components do not prevent the interaction and, therefore, the polymerizationof these monomers on the surfactant micelles via the template mechanism is possible.The optimum monomer/surfactant ratios for the implementation of the templatemechanism of polymerization were determined. The template character of the polymerizationof quaternary salts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate under these conditions wasconfi rmed by light scattering data. The interaction of an anionic hydrophobic monomer,sodium styrenesulfonate, with dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide leads to the incorporationof the monomer ions into the surfactant micelles, which can prevent its polymerizationvia the template mechanism.
