Tuning the Thermoresponsive Properties of Weak Polyelectrolytes: Aqueous Solutions of Star-Shaped and Linear Poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl Methacrylate)
Abstract
We investigated the thermoresponsive behavior of aqueous solutions of star-shaped and linear poly( N, N -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA). The observed cloud points strongly decrease with increasing pH of the solution. This is explained by a weak charging of the star polymers with decreasing pH. A significant decrease of the cloud points with increasing molecular weight for high pH, i.e., for the almost uncharged state, was found to be virtually independent of the arm number and arm length. These findings are explained by classical Flory−Huggins theory. The increase of cloud points upon charging is captured by introduction of an effective degree of polymerization. Polymers with shorter arms show slightly higher cloud points at low pH than polymers with longer arms. The intramolecular segment density also influences the observed apparent p K b values, leading to higher values for stars with higher arm numbers.

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.
