End Group Effect on the Thermal Response of Narrow-Disperse Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Prepared by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization
Abstract
Four series of narrow-disperse poly( N -isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) with well-controlled molecular weights and with end groups of varying hydrophobicity were synthesized by room temperature atom transfer radical polymerization in 2-propanol using the corresponding chloropropionate and chloropropionamide initiators. The thermal phase transitions of aqueous solutions of these PNIPAMs were studied by turbidimetry and high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (HS-DSC) and showed an inverse molecular weight (MW) dependence of their cloud points. The magnitude of the MW dependence decreases when using more hydrophobic end groups. The choice of end group further affected the shape of the cloud point curves and the enthalpy of the phase transition. Above the cloud point, narrow-disperse PNIPAM sedimented more rapidly than polydisperse PNIPAM produced by conventional free radical polymerization, especially at concentrations above 1%. Thus, multiple HS-DSC scans of PNIPAM prepared by ATRP typically gave repeatable results only at lower concentrations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
