Micellization and gelatinization in aqueous media of pH- and thermo-responsive amphiphilic ABC (PMMA82-b-PDMAEMA150-b-PNIPAM65) triblock copolymer synthesized by consecutive RAFT polymerization

Abstract: The multi-stimuli-responsive amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymer of poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-poly [N,N-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate]-block-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PMMA-b-PDMAEMA-b-PNIPAM) was synthesized by sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations. Due to the pH-and thermo-responsive blocks of PDMAEMA and thermo-responsive blocks of PNIPAM, the copolymer solution properties can be manipulated by changing the parameters such as temperature and pH, a… Show more

“…PDMAEMA-based copolymers usually have an LCST that is evident even when aggregated as micelles. Above this temperature, corona dehydration can lead to load release, micelle aggregation/precipitation, or both [19]. As temperature effects are also affected by medium acidity, pH can be used together with the temperature for controlling drug release [20].…”

“…Figure 1 presents the spectra of unmodified PA fibers and PMMA or PS modified fibers. The presence of the strong peak at 1735 cm −1 is assigned to the occurrence of an ester carbonyl group from poly(methyl methacrylate) [37] (Figure 1a). In the case of PS, numerous peaks characteristic for PS overlap with the PA support (i.e., the peak at the range of 1600 cm −1 ) associated with the presence of aromatic protons of styrene units, except the weak peak at 3100-3000 cm −1 which is also associated with aromatic protons of styrene [38] (Figure 1b).…”
