Multi-responsive properties of a poly(ethylene glycol)-grafted alternating copolymers of distyrenic monomer with maleic anhydride
A series of amphiphilic copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer cyclocopolymerization of a styrenic monomer with maleic anhydride followed by grafting methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) onto the anhydride groups of the polymer chain. These amphiphilic graft copolym...

| Zusammenfassung: | A series of amphiphilic copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer cyclocopolymerization of a styrenic monomer with maleic anhydride followed by grafting methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) onto the anhydride groups of the polymer chain. These amphiphilic graft copolymers exhibit multiple responsiveness toward temperature, pH, and selected cations in aqueous solutions. The cloud points (CP) of the graft copolymers increase with increasing length of the side chains and with increasing pH value of the solution. The addition of KCl and LiCl to the solutions had a salting-out effect lowering the CPs of the graft copolymers. The addition of NaCl, however, first raised the CP due to the complexation of the crown ether with Na(+) and then lowered the CP. The light scattering results confirmed an increase in phase transition temperature at lower concentrations of NaCl (5 and 10 mM) and then a decrease at a higher concentration of the sodium salt (100 mM) |
