Amphiphilic properties of 2-(acrylamido)dodecanesulfonic acid and its water-soluble copolymers with alkoxyoligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylates

Abstract

The surface-active properties (in aqueous solutions and water-hexane mixtures) of the amphiphilic sulfo-containing macromonomer 2-(acrylamido)dodecanesulfonic acid (AAС12SА) were studied; copolymers of this surfomer with oligo(ethylene glycol)methacrylates were synthesized. Тhe effect of the content of sulfonic units in the obtained molecular brushes on their thermosensitive properties in water and water-salt solutions was determined.
