Novel Biodegradable Adaptive Hydrogels: Controlled Synthesis and Full Characterization of the Amphiphilic Co‐Networks

Abstract: Adaptive and amphiphilic poly(N,N-dimethylamino-2-ethyl methacrylate-graft-poly[epsilon-caprolactone]) co-networks (netP(DMAEMA-g-PCL)) were synthesized from a combination of controlled polymerization techniques. Firstly, PCL cross-linkers were produced by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of epsilon-CL initiated by 1,4-butane-diol and catalyzed by tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate ([Sn(Oct)2]), followed by the quantitative esterification reaction of terminal hydroxyl end-groups with methacrylic anhydride. Then, PCL cr… Show more

“…When the polymerization in the presence of a crosslinker goes beyond the gel point, cross-linked 3D polymeric networks are obtained. A representative illustration of this approach is the design of degradable (hydro)gels, by either FRP [400][401][402] or RDRP. 346,400,[403][404][405][406] RDRP techniques generally provided more homogeneous structures and degradation products compared to those obtained by FRP.…”

“…Nowadays, complex architectures, such as block copolymers, graft copolymers, stars, miktoarm stars, macrocycles and macromolecular brushes, can be routinely synthesized via a variety of synthetic routes. [4,5] On the other hand, relatively little work have been done for controlling the microstructure (i.e., tacticity and monomer sequences) of synthetic polymers, even though this aspect is of particular scientific relevance. For example, polymers with controlled microstructures play a key role in nature.…”
