Tunable pH- and Temperature-Sensitive Copolymer Libraries by Reversible Addition−Fragmentation Chain Transfer Copolymerizations of Methacrylates
Abstract
Reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerizations have been performed on a Chemspeed Accelerator SLT100 automated synthesizer to polymerize N, N -(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) at 70 °C. Azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) was used as source of radicals and 2-cyano-2-butyl dithiobenzoate (CBDB) as RAFT agent. A complete screening in composition of P(DMAEMA- stat -PEGMA) copolymers was elaborated from 0% of PEGMA to 100% of PEGMA. All polydispersity indices of the obtained copolymers are comprised between 1.11 and 1.30. The reactivity ratios have been determined by the extended Kelen−Tüdös method ( r DMAEMA = 0.93 and r PEGMA = 0.66). The behavior of the pH- and temperature-sensitive copolymers was studied in aqueous solution by measuring the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) by UV/vis spectroscopy. The measurements were performed at three different pH values (4, 7, and 10). At pH 7 and pH 10 it has been observed that the LCST is increasing linearly with the wt % PEGMA in the copolymer feed. On the contrary, at pH 4, the hydrophilicity of the P(DMAEMA- stat -PEGMA) copolymers is too high due to the protonation of the DMAEMA units. Thus, no LCST has been detected for most of them. By varying the pH and the composition of the P(DMAEMA- stat -PEGMA) copolymers, the LCST can be easily tuned between 34.7 and 82.0 °C.

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.
