Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization of 2-Methoxyethyl Acrylate for the Synthesis of Biocompatible Nanoparticles Using a Hydrophilic RAFT Polymer and a Redox Initiator
Abstract
Aqueous dispersion polymerization systems mediated by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process have been less studied in comparison with other heterogeneous polymerization systems due to limited number of monomer/polymer pairs that are suitable for such a condition. We report a novel dispersion polymerization system based on 2-methoxyethyl acrylate (MEA) which is highly water-soluble, but its polymer is not. Using a hydrophilic polymer, poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEGMA), as the macromolecular chain transfer agent (Macro-CTA), both solution and dispersion polymerization of MEA were studied. Chain extension by MEA from PPEGMA was successfully realized in DMF solution polymerization. In dispersion polymerization of MEA in water, PPEGMA was used as both a RAFT mediating species and a steric stabilizer for the formed nanoparticles. The dispersion polymerization of MEA in water was highly efficient using a redox initiator, potassium persulfate/sodium ascorbate, at low temperatures. Simultaneous control of both colloidal stability and RAFT process was realized. Block copolymers with small polydispersity indices were efficiently produced up to complete monomer conversion at solids content up to 32% w/v, in the form of nanoparticles of 40–60 nm diameter.

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.
