Article Synopsis
- The research shows that poly(-cyanomethylacrylamide) (PCMAm) can undergo a UCST-type transition, particularly when the polymer's molar mass is controlled through RAFT radical polymerization.
- New experiments successfully utilized -cyanomethylacrylamide (CMAm) in aqueous dispersion polymerization with poly(-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAm) as macroRAFT agents, leading to the creation of well-defined diblock copolymers.
- The study found that these diblock copolymers could form various stable nanostructures, with their thermoresponsive properties varying based on the degree of polymerization, suggesting potential applications in thermoresponsive coatings and biomedical fields
In this present work, the synthesis of a new family of upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-thermoresponsive polymers based on N-cyanomethylacrylamide (CMAm) is reported. It is demonstrated that the thermally initiated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of CMAm conducted in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is well controlled. The homopolymer presents a sharp and reversible UCST-type phase transition in pure water with a very small hysteresis between cooling and heating cycles.
