2-(Pyridin-2-yl)ethanol as a protecting group for carboxylic acids: Chemical and thermal cleavage, and conversion of poly[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl methacrylate] to poly(methacrylic acid)
Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2012)In this communication, we show that 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol is a good protecting group for methacrylic acid (MAA), which can be selectively removed, after polymerization, either chemically under alkaline conditions or ...

ABC Triblock Terpolymers with Orthogonally Deprotectable Blocks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Deprotection
Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2015)The development and availability of new protecting groups are vital for all branches of synthetic chemistry. Equally vital is the facile and selective removal of these groups, leaving intact other protecting groups which ...

A degradable atom transfer radical polymerization inimer: Synthesis, polymerization, and cleavage of the resulting polymer products
Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2017)A novel degradable inimer for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), 2-(6-(2-((2-bromo-2-methylpropanoyl)oxy)ethyl)pyridin-2-yl)ethyl methacrylate (PyDEBrMΑ), was synthesized by the two-step esterification of ...

A dimethacrylate cross-linker cleavable under thermolysis or alkaline hydrolysis conditions: Synthesis, polymerization, and degradation
Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2016)We develop a new platform based on 2,6-pyridinediethanol diesters for introducing polymer degradability under thermolysis or alkaline hydrolysis conditions, with the latter being rare in polymers. Such labile diesters can ...

"Inverse polyampholyte" hydrogels from double-cationic hydrogels: Synthesis by RAFT polymerization and characterization
Pafiti, Kyriaki S.; Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2014)We present two novel, homologous, pyridine-based monomers, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl methacrylate (PyEMA) and (pyridin-2-yl)methyl methacrylate (PyMMA), which, despite their structural similarity, the former can be readily ...

Regular and inverse polyampholyte hydrogels: A detailed comparison
Constantinou, Anna P.; Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2016)Two series of polyampholyte (PA) hydrogels were prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization, followed by removal of the protecting group of the acidic monomer repeating units (methacrylic ...

Symmetrical polymer systems prepared using a degradable bifunctional atom transfer radical polymerization initiator: Synthesis, characterization, and cleavage
Elladiou, Marios; Kalogirou, Andreas S.; Patrickios, Costas S. (2017)Linear (co)polymers and dimethacrylate-end-linked polymer networks of methyl methacrylate with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, cleavable in the middle of the polymer chain, either under thermolysis or alkaline hydrolysis ...

Synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers prepared via self-condensing RAFT polymerization
Rikkou-Kalourkoti, Maria D.; Elladiou, Marios; Patrickios, Costas S. (2015)Four families of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers of styrene (Sty, less polar monomer) and 2-vinylpyridine (2VPy, one of the two more polar monomers) or 4-vinylpyridine (4VPy, the other polar monomer) were prepared ...
