water soluble amphoteric graft copolymers of polysaccharide were synthesized via grafting of cationic monomer onto the sodium carboxymethylcellulose ()cmc)( and then used as a shale stabilizer in the water-based drilling fluids. accordingly, five types of cmc-graft copolymers with different ratios of acrylamide am)( and diallyldimethylammonium chloride dadmac)( were synthesized. grafting of mon...

Copolymers of Acrylonitrile with Isobornyl acrylate (IBA) and Isobornyl Methacrylate (IBM) were synthesized by free radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in dimethyl formamide (DMF) at 60 ± 1°C. Thermo gravimetric analysis of the copolymers was performed and their thermal stabilities were studied. Thermal stability of IBM copolymers is found to be more than that of IBA copolymers. The ...

In contrast to the usual inclusion of disulfide bonds within a polymer structure to facilitate bio-degradation, we have designed a self-curing "one pot" hyperbranched polymer capable of forming crosslinked gels under reducing conditions abundant in tumoural tissue.

A new type of materials, the backbone-thermoresponsive hyperbranched polyether, was successfully synthesized by proton-transfer polymerization of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether and various triols, and the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values can be readily adjusted from 19.0 to 40.3 degrees C by changing the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance of BDE and triols.

block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. in this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. the factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number of hydroph...

An AB2 monomer containing a bis(m-phenylene)-32-crown-10 and two paraquat moieties was designed and prepared. It self-organized to form a supramolecular hyperbranched polymer in solution.

Hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPGs) are ideal scaffolds for the multivalent presentation of saccharides, due to their biocompatible, carbohydrate-like properties; here, we report the conjugation of galactosesugar moieties to HPG, and the multivalent effect of these constructs on selectin binding.

linear–dendrite copolymers containing hyper branched poly(citric acid) and linear poly(ethylene glycol) blocks pca–peg–pca are promising nonmaterial to use  in nanomedicine. to investigate their potential application in biological systems (especially for drug carries) oniom2 calculations were applied to study the nature of particular interactions between drug and the polymeric nanoparticles.  b...

A novel photoluminescent supramolecular hyperbranched polymer (SHP) without conventional chromophores was constructed for the first time by inclusion complexation between α-cyclodextrin and diethylenetriamine. The SHP showed wide-band fluorescence dependent upon the excitation wavelength.

Hyperbranched polymers based on a polyether and polyester have been modified and used as macromolecular ligands for the anticancer drug cisplatin, giving controlled release of the drug over 7 days.
