Assembly of oligo(ethylene glycol)- and amine-containing methacrylic esters in water and water–hexane mixtures

Influences of monomer self‐association on the radical solution homopolymerization of N‐[3‐(dimethylamino)propyl](meth)acrylamide

“…All quantum mechanics calculations were performed using the Gaussian 03 program . Optimization procedures and protocols were analogues to that described in our previous publication . The geometries of the monomers and dimers were fully optimized using density functional theory (DFT) of the B3LYP hybrid exchange functional combined with 6‐31 + G(d,p) basis set.…”

Concentration effects in the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of oligo(ethylene glycol)- and amine-containing methacrylic monomers

“…We hypothesized that the structure of aqueous solutions of DMAEMA plays an important role in this case. It is known that DMAEMA molecules are capable of exhibiting surface activity [ 23 ] which indicates their propensity to self-assemble in water. Viscosity of solutions is one of the most sensitive parameters affected by changes in the structure of aqueous solutions.…”

“…We have shown a correlation between the types of hydrogen bonds formed by the ethoxylated methacrylates and the viscosity of solutions. [ 23 ] The reason for this correlation is the formation of highly structured solutions at high concentrations of (M)OEGMAs in which almost all water molecules are connected with monomer molecules by hydrogen bonds. This agrees completely with the results obtained in this work on the concentration effects in the hydrolysis of ethoxylated methacrylates.…”

Physicochemical properties of oligo(ethylene glycol) (meth)acrylates

“…6) [31]. [25] показало взаимосвязь вида изотерм вязкости с общей степенью участия карбонильных групп в ассоциативных взаимодействиях, а также с преобладанием водородных связей С=О…НО или ОН…О(=С)…НО, где ОH -гидроксильная группа воды или макромономера (в случае ГОЭГМ). Выявлено, что при высоких концентрациях образуются высокоструктурированные растворы, в которых практически все молекулы воды связаны с молекулами мономеров водородными связями.…”
