Poly(2-alkyl-2-oxazoline)-Based Copolymer Library with a Thermoresponsive Behavior in Dodecane

Poly(2-oxazoline)s are an emerging class of polymers due to their high versatility and hence have proven be beneficial in numerous applications. The extensive study interest this polymer is great synthetic flexibility good biocompatibility, resulting the synthesis extremely functional material, particularly advantageous biomedical Although thermoresponsive behavior POx has been extensively studied aqueous media, there only limited literature on with temperature sensitivity solubility nonaqueous media. Herein, a systematic library 21 tunable copolymers based unsaturated 2-fatty acid-2-oxazoline, 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline, 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline synthesized, thermal properties solution media investigated via DSC, TGA, UV–vis measurements, respectively. Finally, ability as dispersant for carbonized materials medium evaluated using carbon black.
