Thermo-Responsive Polypyrrole-Palladium NanocompositeParticles Synthesized by Aqueous Chemical OxidativeDispersion Polymerization

Preparation of Thermo-Responsive and Cross-Linked Fluorinated Nanoparticles via RAFT-Mediated Aqueous Polymerization in Nanoreactors.

In this work, a thermo-responsive and cross-linked fluoropolymer poly(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl) methacrylate (PTFEMA) was successfully prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediated aqueous polymerization with a thermo-responsive diblock poly(dimethylacrylamide-b-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PDMA-b-PNIPAM) that performed a dual function as both a nanoreactor and macro-RAFT ...

Biocompatible, Antifouling, and Thermosensitive Core Shell Nanogels Synthesized by RAFT Aqueous Dispersion Polymerization

Hydrogels, networks of cross-linked hydrophilic polymers, are an important class of soft materials with many of their properties similar to those of biological tissues. While these macroscopic materials have been intensively studied and exploited in various technological areas, their nanosized counterparts, the so-called nanogels, are currently attracting significant attention for their potenti...

Polymer Fluoride Sensors Synthesized by RAFT Polymerization.

A series of polymer chemosensors containing naphthalimide signal moiety and imide recognition moiety for the selective detection of fluoride ions (F(-) ) were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer chemosensors display obvious absorption and fluorescence variations upon the addition of F(-) , which can be observed by both naked eyes an...

Synthesis of sharply thermo and PH responsive PMA-b-PNIPAM-b-PEG-b-PNIPAM-b-PMA by RAFT radical polymerization and its schizophrenic micellization in aqueous solutions

Sharply thermo- and pH-responsive pentablock terpolymer with a core-shell-corona structure was prepared by RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and methacrylic acid monomers using PEG-based benzoate-type of RAFT agent. The PEG-based RAFT agent could be easily synthesized by dihydroxyl-capped PEG with 4-cyano-4-(thiobenzoyl) sulfanylpentanoic acids, using esterification reaction. This pe...
