Thermo- and pH-sensitive behavior of hydrogels based on oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylates and acrylic acid

The Radical Copolymerisation of Acrylic Acid and Methoxypolyethylene Glycol Methacrylate in an Aqueous Solution

“…Here, the y -intercept of the line plotted in [( f – 1)/ F ]–( f / F 2 ) coordinates is equal to r 1 , while the slope tangent of the line corresponds to – r 2 .…”

“…Copolymers of acrylic acid (AA) and methoxypolyethylene glycol methacrylate (MPEGMA) containing in the alcoholic part up to 50 oxyethyl units (i.e. with a degree of oxyethylation n = 50) and terminal hydroxyl or methoxy groups are being used as absorbents [1], as materials with stimulus-sensitive properties [2], and as polymers of medical designation [3]. But they are most widely used as plasticising additives for cement composites [4], which are normally produced by the homogeneous radical copolymerisation of MPEGMAs in aqueous solutions.…”

Swelling behavior of thermosensitive nanocomposite hydrogels composed of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates and clay

“…A semilogarithmic plot was introduced to discuss the deswelling kinetics of NC hydrogels with different chemical compositions [41,42]. The time dependence of deswelling kinetics was described as:…”

Conformation, Self-Organization and Thermoresponsibility of Polymethacrylate Molecular Brushes with Oligo(ethylene glycol)-block-oligo(propylene glycol) Side Chains

“…Biocompatible MOEGM polymers are considered to be drug delivery polymers [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The influence of the structure of such copolymers on solution behavior, self-organization, and association have been investigated [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Recently, it has been shown that copolymers of MOEGM with higher alkyl methacrylates formed unimolecular micelles in aqueous solutions [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”
