摘要

The organic/inorganic hybrid material of poly[2-(dimethyl amino)-ethyl methacrylate]/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-PDMAEMA) was synthesized via a thiol-Michael addition reaction. The structures of POSS-PDMAEMA and its self-assembly in aqueous solution were confirmed by H-1-NMR, TEM, DLS, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrum. In aqueous solutions, POSS-PDMAEMA could self-assemble into micelles and its critical micelle concentration was 12.4mg/L. POSS-PDMAEMA micelles can adsorb dyes efficiently, it could adsorb methyl red at a concentration of 10-100mg/L and dithizone at a concentration of 20-100mg/L, and could remove 98% methyl red and 90% dithizone within 30s. Due to the good temperature and pH responsiveness, POSS-PDMAEMA micelles could release organic dye absorbed into the organic solution again when the solution was heated to 40 degrees C or pH value of the solution was adjusted to 4.0. It suggested that POSS-PDMAEMA can be utilized as an interesting smart materials for absorption of organic dyes.
