The structure of the nanoparticles was investigated as a function of the degree of neutralization DN by turbidimetry dynamic light scattering DSL -potential measurement and atomic force microscope AFM . The neutralization of the anionic PAA blocks with cationic DTAB accompanied with the hydrophobic interaction of alkyl tails of DTAB led to formation of core-shell nanoparticles with the core of the DTAB neutralized PAA blocks and the shell of the looped PEO blocks. The water-dispersible nanoparticles with negative -potential were obtained over the DN range from to and their sizes depended on the DN. The looped PEO blocks hindered the further neutralization of the PAA blocks with cationic DTAB resulting in existence of some negative charged PAA-b-PEO-b-PAA backbones even when DN . The spherical and ellipsoidal nature of these nanoparticles was observed with AFM. Z.
