Cationic amphiphilic model networks: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization and characterization of the degree of swelling

Simmons, M. R.; Yamasaki, E. N.; Patrickios, Costas S. (2000)

Group transfer polymerization (GTP) was applied to prepare model networks based on 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). The flexibility of GTP allowed the synthesis of three isomeric ...

Cationic homopolymer model networks and star polymers: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization and characterization of the aqueous degree of swelling

Simmons, M. R.; Yamasaki, E. N.; Patrickios, Costas S. (2000)

A series of hydrophilic model networks based on homopolymers of a weak base were prepared using group transfer polymerization (GTP) and characterized in terms of their aqueous degree of swelling as a function of pH. This ...

Near-monodisperse, catalytically active, imidazole-containing homooligomers: Synthesis by group transfer polymerization and solution characterization

Simmons, M. R.; Patrickios, Costas S. (1999)

Oligomers covering degrees of polymerization up to 23 of 2-(1-imidazolyl)-ethyl methacrylate (ImEMA) were synthesized by group transfer polymerization (GTP) in propylene carbonate and tetrahydrofuran (THF). While GTP ...

Synthesis and aqueous solution characterization of catalytically active block copolymers containing imidazole

Simmons, M. R.; Patrickios, Costas S. (1998)

Article

Synthesis and aqueous solution characterization of catalytically active homopolymers, block copolymers and networks containing imidazole

Patrickios, Costas S.; Simmons, M. R. (2000)

Imidazole-containing polymers were prepared and characterized in terms of their hydrolytic activity. Unlike similar materials synthesized in the 1960s, the polymers are of precise molecular weight and controlled structure ...

Synthesis and characterization of near-monodisperse electron acceptor homopolymers of 2-[(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)oxy]ethyl methacrylate

Orphanou, M.; Simmons, M. R.; Patrickios, Costas S. (2000)

Homopolymers of 2-(trimethylsiloxy)ethyl methacrylate of degrees of polymerization from 5 to 50 were synthesized by group transfer polymerization in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using 1-methoxy-1-(trimethylsiloxy)-2-methyl propene ...
