Thermoresponsive oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate based copolymers: composition and comonomer effect

Abstract

Thermoresponsive polymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) methyl ether methacrylate monomers have drawn much attention in recent years. In this investigation, copolymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA,...

Thermoresponsive Reversible Unimer Micelles of Amphiphilic Fluorinated Copolymers

“…For both copolymers, a salting‐out effect was observed in agreement with what was already reported for PEGMA‐based polymers (Table S1, Supporting Information). [ 48,49 ] In particular, the presence of NaCl favors the dehydration of the oxyethylene side chains resulting in a decrease in T c by 7 and 10 °C for the 15 g L −1 NaCl solution for TEGMA76‐ co ‐FA24 and PEGMA85‐ co ‐FA15, respectively.…”

How does the polymer architecture and position of cationic charges affect cell viability?

“…Each and experimental composition values determined by 1 H NMR. For OEGMA300, it was considered that the length of ethylene glycol (EG) chains to be 1.5 of the length of the methacrylate 54 . OEGMA300 has 4.5 EG groups, thus 6.75 was added to the DP OEGMA (1.5 × 4.5).…”

Design of fluorescent polymeric thermometers based on anthrapyrazolone functionalized oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylates

“…[55][56][57][58] Nevertheless, the T CP 's of the herein synthesized polymers were slightly lower compared to previous reports due to the hydrophobic dye end-group that reduces the LCST. 51,59 Thus, the decrease in T CP can be attributed to the presence of the bulky hydrophobic dye end groups possibly favoring the dehydration and phase separation of the polymer. The thermoresponsive phase transitions were found to be fully reversible although a very small hysteresis was observed in the cooling process.…”
