Complex Hydrogels Based on Multiply Interpenetrated Polymer Networks: Enhancement of Mechanical Properties via Network Multiplicity and Monomer Concentration
(2018)
We present the preparation and study of the compressive mechanical and swelling properties of multiply interpenetrated, from double to quintuple (5-fold), polymeric hydrogels based on N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAAm) ...
Dynamic covalent polymer hydrogels and organogels crosslinked through acylhydrazone bonds: synthesis, characterization and applications
(2018)
We review recent literature on the rapidly expanding field of dynamic covalent polymer networks (DCPNs) crosslinked with acylhydrazone bonds, classified according to their structural perfection: randomly crosslinked and ...
Synthesis, characterization and thermolysis of hyperbranched homo- and amphiphilic Co-polymers prepared using an inimer bearing a thermolyzable acylal group
(2012)
Degradable hyperbranched polymers were synthesized via self-condensing atom transfer radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with a novel inimer bearing a thermolyzable acylal group. This inimer was ...
End-linked, amphiphilic, degradable polymer conetworks: Synthesis by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization using a bifunctional, cleavable initiator
(2012)
End-linked, degradable, amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCNs) of various compositions and architectures were synthesized by sequential atom transfer radical terpolymerization of monomers and cross-linker using a cleavable, ...
Reversible hydrogels from amphiphilic polyelectrolyte model multiblock copolymers: The importance of macromolecular topology
(2010)
The association ability of model amphiphilic polyelectrolytes with multi-block architecture, i.e. ABA, BABAB, ABABABA and BABABABAB (A hydrophobic, B polyelectrolyte block) was studied in aqueous media. The gelation ...
End-linked amphiphilic polymer conetworks: synthesis by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization and swelling characterization
(2010)
Conetworks based on end-linked homopolymers and amphophilic gradient copolymers were synthesized by the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methaerylate (DMAEMA, hydrophilic monomer), ...
Structural characterization of amphiphilic polymer conetworks end-linked with the optimal amount of cross-linker
(2010)
Amphiphilic polymer conetworks were synthesized by the end-linking of ABA triblock copolymers using optimal (minimal) amount of cross-linker in pursuit of nanoscale phase separated materials with a long-range order. ...
Synthesis and characterization of end-linked amphiphilic copolymer conetworks based on a novel bifunctional cleavable chain transfer agent
(2012)
A novel bifunctional bis(hemiacetal ester) chain transfer agent (CTA), 1,2-bis[1-(4-cyano-4-methyl-1-oxo-4-(phenylcarbonothioylthio)butanoxy)ethoxy] ethane (CMPTBEE), appropriate for the reversible addition-fragmentation ...
Synthesis and characterization of amphiphilic diblock copolymers of 2-(1-imidazolyl)ethyl methacrylate and styrene
(2014)
Six amphiphilic diblock copolymers based on the hydrophilic monomer 2-(1-imidazolyl)ethyl methacrylate (ImEMA) and the hydrophobic monomer styrene (Sty) were prepared by sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain ...
