Abstract:Two thermosensitive copolymers of acrylates (PMP/PEP) and a thermo/light sensitive copolymer of acrylate with acrylamide (PMABz) are synthesized via a ring‐opening reaction and subsequent radical polymerization using a facile one‐pot method. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PMP and PEP shows a dependence on the content of the structural unit and can be easily tuned to 18–35 °C by mercaptoethanol‐mediated control of the molecular weight. The isomerization of PMABz can be reversibly induced by a… Show more
“…Second, the shifts of T trans achieved have been mostly limited to a few degrees. 13,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] For many of the envisaged uses, this is too small. As an exception, Menzel and coworkers 32 succeeded to shift T trans of azobenzene-bearing polyacrylamides upon irradiation by up to 14 1C.…”
The incorporation of an arylazopyrazole (AAP) dye into water-soluble poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) polymers enables an outstandingly large photo-modulation of the coil-to-globule LCST-type phase transition temperature.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
