Motoyanagi, Jin; Oguri, Ayaha; Minoda, Masahiko published an article in 2020, the title of the article was Synthesis of well-defined alternating copolymer composed of ethylmaleimide and hydroxy-functionalized vinyl ether by raft polymerization and their thermoresponsive properties.Formula: C6H12O3 And the article contains the following content:
Here we report the controlled synthesis of alternating copolymers by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of hydroxy-functionalized vinyl ether (DEGV) and ethylmaleimide (EtMI) using dithiocarbonate derivative (CPDB) as the RAFT reagent. The resulting alternating copolymer poly[ethylmaleimide-alt-(diethylene glycol mono vinyl ether)] (poly(MalMI-alt-DEGV)) had a relatively narrow mol. weight distribution (Mw/Mn < 1.4). These polymers are fully soluble in cold water (5掳C) and an aqueous solution of poly(MalMI-alt-DEGV) became turbid upon heating (using an incident wavelength of 600 nm and 1.0 mg mL-1 (0.1 weight%) polymer concentration), indicating phase separation above the cloud point temperature (Tcp). The Tcp of the polymer solution ranged from 15-35掳C, depending on the mol. weight and mol. weight distribution of the polymer. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2-(2-(Vinyloxy)ethoxy)ethanol(cas: 929-37-3).Formula: C6H12O3
