Multi-functional conetworks based on cross-linked star polymers
(2010)
Three series of conetworks based on cross-linked star polymers of different architectures were prepared using group transfer polymerization. The first series of conetworks were amphiphilic, based on the hydrophobic monomer ...
Thermoresponsive Hydrogels Based on Telechelic Polyelectrolytes: From Dynamic to “Frozen” Networks
(2018)
A novel thermoresponsive gelator of (B-co-C)-b-A-b-(B-co-C) topology, comprising a poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) weak polyelectrolyte as central block, end-capped by thermosensitive poly(triethylene ...
Structural Properties of Micelles Formed by Telechelic Pentablock Quaterpolymers with pH-Responsive Midblocks and Thermoresponsive End Blocks in Aqueous Solution
(2019)
We investigated the structural properties of dynamic micelles arising from the self-assembly of the multiresponsive pentablock quaterpolymer P(nBuMA8-co-TEGMA8)-b-PDMAEMA50-b-PEG46-b-PDMAEMA50-b-P(nBuMA8-co-TEGMA8) (nBuMA, ...
Double-networks based on interconnected amphiphilic “in–out” star first polymer conetworks prepared by RAFT polymerization
(2018)
Double-network hydrogels were prepared using well-defined first networks comprising interconnected amphiphilic “in-out” star copolymers synthesized via sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) ...
Model Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks in Water: Prediction of Their Ability for Oil Solubilization
(2019)
In this work, we computationally explored the ability of water-swollen, model ionizable ABA triblock copolymer-based amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) to solubilize a water-immiscible organic solvent (oil), via Gibbs ...
Networks Based on “Core-First” Star Polymers End-Linked Using a Degradable Ketal Cross-Linker: Synthesis, Characterization, and Cleavage
(2018)
Sequential group transfer polymerization of cross-linker, monomer (methyl methacrylate), and cross-linker again is used to prepare cleavable polymer networks based on interconnected “core-first” star polymers. By employing ...
Multiply Interpenetrating Polymer Networks: Preparation, Mechanical Properties, and Applications
(2019)
This review summarizes work done on triply, or higher, interpenetrating polymer network materials prepared in order to widen the properties of double polymer network hydrogels (DN), doubly interpenetrating polymer networks ...
Near-Model Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks Based on Four-Arm Stars of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) and Poly(ethylene glycol): Synthesis and Characterization
(2018)
Amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCN) were prepared in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) by the interconnection of four-arm star poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF, Mn = 8800 Da) end-functionalized with benzaldehyde groups and ...
Multiple Network Hydrogels: A Study of Their Nanoindentation Hardness
(2019)
Nanoindentation is employed to investigate at the nanoscale the mechanical properties of multiply-interpenetrated N,N-dimethylacrylamide hydrogels cross-linked using N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide). The main result from these ...
