Abstract: Sulfonated hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer(S-SEBS) was prepared by reaction of hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer(SEBS) with acetic anhydride and sulphuric acid.The assembly of S-SEBSon air-water interface was studied by using Langmuir film balance.Langmuir-Blogett(LB) film of S-SEBS was prepared and investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in non-contact mode.The aggregations of S-SEBSin solution and in LBfilms were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy by using pyrene as fluorescence probe.The experimental results show that the ordered 2D and 3D-nanostructures composed of amphiphilic nanospheres have been obtained on the air-water interface.Apossible mechanism for the formation of the nanostructures is proposed.
