Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and solution properties of zwitterionic polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-Soluble Polymers. 81. Direct Synthesis of Hydrophilic Styrenic-Based Homopolymers and Block Copolymers in Aqueous Solution via RAFT
TL;DR: In this paper, a block copolymer of (ar-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride with N,N-dimethylvinyl benzylbenzylamine has been synthesized, using the same methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Synthesis of Thermally Responsive DMA/NIPAM Diblock and DMA/NIPAM/DMA Triblock Copolymers via Aqueous, Room Temperature RAFT Polymerization†
Anthony J. Convertine,Brad S. Lokitz,Yuliya Vasileva,Leslie J. Myrick,Charles W. Scales,and Andrew B. Lowe,Charles L. McCormick +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, aqueous, room temperature RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and its block copolymerization utilizing a poly(N,N-dimethylacryamide) macro-CTA was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile, controlled, room-temperature RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide.
TL;DR: Conditions facilitating the controlled, room-temperature RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) are reported, which yields NIPAM homopolymerizations which bear all of the characteristics of a controlled/"living" polymerization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrolytic Susceptibility of Dithioester Chain Transfer Agents and Implications in Aqueous RAFT Polymerizations
David B. Thomas,Anthony J. Convertine,Roger D. Hester,and Andrew B. Lowe,Charles L. McCormick +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the rate constants of hydrolysis and aminolysis for water-soluble chain transfer agents (CTAs) cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate (CTP) and macro-CTAs of poly(sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate) (AMPSX) and poly(acrylonitriou amino acid (Acrylamide)(AMX) at selected pH values were evaluated with respect to aqueous RAFT polymerizations.
