Thermo-Responsive Solid-Phase Extraction Using Poly(methyl vinyl ether)-Containing Segmented Polymer Networks

Abstract

Segmented polymer networks containing poly(methyl vinyl ether) (PMVE) segments were prepared by free‐radical‐initiated copolymerization of PMVE‐α,ω‐dimethacrylate with styrene or 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). These networks were evaluated as thermo‐responsive solid‐phase extraction materials. Suspension‐derived polymer networks consisting of 80% of PMVE and 20% of HEMA adsorb toluene from an aqueous solution at 40°C and release the adsorbed toluene quantitatively at 20°C.

Highly Sensitive Detection of Organic Molecules on the Basis of a Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microassembly Formed by Plasmonic Optical Trapping

“…Finally, we compare some features of the present method with our previous work and other related extraction methods. ,− The PNIPAM microassembly formed by POT plays a key role in the efficient detection of molecules. Our method has advantages summarized as follows (Table ): (1) the detection of RhB at the nano molar level, (2) stable formation of PNIPAM microassembly with weak incident light (1.0 kW/cm 2 ), and (3) small surface area of the assembly (diameter 8 μm).…”

Microphase separation under constraints: a molecular thermodynamic theory for polyelectrolytic amphiphilic model networks in water

“…A more recent biomedical application of CSACPNs is their use as scaffolds in tissue engineering [8]. Other applications include their use as organic solvent adsorbents [9], pervaporation membranes [10], templates for the preparation of silica particles [11], and temperature-responsive actuators [12].…”

Behavior of the Interphase Region of an Amphiphilic Polymer Conetwork Swollen in Polar and Nonpolar Solvent

“…Because of of its small size, neither the macroscopic properties can be observed nor its existence can be proved by microscopic or scattering methods. The special properties of APCNs in combination with their large chemical and structural variety have inspired an array of different application-oriented studies in chemical, biological, and medical fields, such as nanoreactors, , catalysis, solid-phase extractions, pervaporation matrices, promoted release hosts, medical implants and immonoisolators, cell culture and antifoulding surfaces, drug delivery matrices, contact lenses, tissue engineering scaffolds, , enzymatic catalysis supports, sensors, etc.…”
