Polyacrylate graft polymers prepared by grafting of monomethoxypoly(ethylene oxide) homopolymers onto acrylic acid: Self‐gelling polymers

Abstract: Polyacrylates of monomethoxypoly(ethy1ene oxide).) (MePEO) were prepared by grafting MePEO on prepolymerized acryloyl chloride polymers of different molecular weights. Copolymers with carboxyl groups were also prepared by the addition of both water and MePEO. The polymers spontaneously form irreversible gels in water as soon as the degree of polymerization exceeds a certain limit. This gel formation confirms preceding results on similar polymers obtained by polymerization of MePEO acrylate and methacrylate mac… Show more

“…An interesting study has been reported of macrocycles in which two additional groups containing OH sites are attached to two nitrogens of diaza crown ethers. 234 The results indicate that K values for complexes of A215C5 (2.1) with bivalent metal cations such as Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ increase by factors of 85, 89, and 30, respectively. The same trend is observed in the case of the complexes of A218C6 (2.2) and its derivatives.…”

“…The decreased M w with PEO-MA is attributed to both the increased contribution of the water-phase polymerization and the chain transfer to PEO units. [4][5][6]21 At high macromonometer concentration, the water-phase polymerization produces a high fraction of the saturated graft copolymer of lower molecular weight. 22 The higher the macromonomer concentration, the higher the chain transfer efficiency and the lower the molecular weight.…”
