Synthesis of pentafluorophenyl(meth)acrylate polymers: New precursor polymers for the synthesis of multifunctional materials

Influence of Binding‐Site Density in Wet Bioadhesion

“…Polymer Synthesis and Characterization: Active ester polymers react quickly and quantitatively with amines to form the corresponding poly(acrylamides), opening the possibility of obtaining multifunctional polymeric materials [29]. We used active ester polymers based on pentafluorophenylacrylates for their higher solubility and reactivity when compared to the commonly used poly(N-hydroxysuccinimideacrylates) [29].…”

Synthesis of well‐defined polymeric activated esters

“…An alternative approach resembles the polymerization of pentafluorophenyl acrylates (PFPA) and -methacrylates (PFPMA). 48 For example, pentafluorophenyl methacrylate could be polymerized under RAFT conditions using cumyl dithiobenzoate or 4-cyano-4-((thiobenzoyl)sulfanyl)-pentanoic acid with a very good control over molecular weight (M n up to 17,000 g/mol) and narrow molecular weight distributions (M w /M n \ 1.2). 49 The excellent solubility of the resulting poly(pentafluorophenyl methacrylate) (PPFPMA) in common organic solvents led to the successful synthesis of diblock copolymers using RAFT polymerization (see Scheme 3).…”

Visible Light-Responsive DASA-Polymer Conjugates

“…Notably, milder reaction conditions were required for acrylaterelative to methacrylate-based polymers, which is attributed to enhanced reactivity of PFPA over PFPMA. 21 In a second step, the aniline-modified polymer backbones were reacted with an excess of activated furan to yield pendant DASAs. A set of two aromatic amine precursors, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-diamino-propane (MPDP) and 2-(indolin-3-yl)ethan-1-amine (rTryp), and two activated furans based on Meldrum's acid (Meld) and Barbituric acid (Barb) were employed (Figure 1b).…”
