Abstract
Small‐angle x‐ray and electron microscopy were used to study the morphology of polysiloxane dizwitterionomers. As in other polyelectrolytes, the zwitterions aggregate into ionic domains. In this case the domains are lamellar in nature and are in parallel arrays. The distance between these ionic regions is inversely proportional to the dizwitterion concentration in the polymer; their thickness is independent of the ionic concentration and is about 7 Å.Keywords
