Pseudo-graft polymer based on adamantyl-terminated poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) and homopolymer with cyclodextrin as pendant: its thermoresponsivity through polymeric self-assembly and host–guest inclusion complexation

Abstract

Thermoresponsivity and self-assembly of a pseudo-graft polymer based on Ad-terminated poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) and homopolymer with CD pendants.

Novel lanthanide–polymer complexes for dye-free dual modal probes for MRI and fluorescence imaging

“…In addition, TEM shows nanoparticles in dehydrated solid states while DLS measures the hydrodynamic diameters of micelles swollen in an aqueous environment. 34 The chelation of lanthanide assemblies is confirmed by comparing block copolymer PDO1 and the corresponding NPDO1 nanoparticles using FT-IR analysis (Fig. S10 ESI †).…”

Supramolecular control over thermoresponsive polymers

“…In analogy to end-functionalized host/guest polymers, incorporation of supramolecular motifs across the polymer backbone render supramolecular graft copolymers with tunable micellization behavior [73][74][75]. In this context, a very recent report by Huang et al describes the reversible switching between micellar and vesicular structures by the application of temperature or light stimuli [76].…”

Synthesis of hybrid silica nanoparticles grafted with thermoresponsive poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate via AGET-ATRP

“…So, the pursuit of tunable LCST is one of major objectives of thermosensitive hybrid nanoparticles. [42][43][44][45][46][47] Thermosensitive poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate was recently proposed as an attractive alternative to PNI-PAM. 46,[48][49][50][51][52] In fact, the balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties in the molecular structure of the amphiphilicity polymers is the key-parameter that determines LCST.…”
