Notes:
Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA) and poly(acrylamide) (PAAm) with a small mole fraction of naphthol (NpOH) residues were prepared by polymerization of methacrylic acid or acrylamide with three position isomers, methacryloylaminonaphthol. The substituent effect on the apparent pK values (pKobsd), determined by spectroscopic pH titrations in aqueous solution, was observed for the NpOH-labeled PAAm. The electrostatic surface potential (ψ) for PMA was calculated from the difference in the pKobsd values for the labeled PMA and PAAm. The obtained ψ value decreased as the spacing between the OH moiety and the polymer main chain increased. This clearly indicates that the ψ value is a sensitive function of the distance from the polyion surface.
