Amphiphilic properties of alkoxyoligoethyleneglycol methacrylates and copolymers based on them

Abstract

Based on the data on the distribution of alkoxyoligo(ethyleneglycol) methacrylates in the water-hexane system, the HLB values of the macromonomers are determined. A good correlation between the temperatures of phase transitions of copolymers of alkoxyoligo(ethyleneglycol) methacrylates in aqueous solutions and calculated HLB values of the original macromonomers was shown.
